Chapter 1:

Hi. My name is Emily. I ran away from my house when I was 12 from my very small trailer house . I'm turning 16 in a week. I ran away
because my stepmom and stepdad were always drunk and every day at dawn they would put me in the basement and hit me with a brown rope. I decided that it was time to stop all of this madness before I eventually die from the rope. I took my one pair of ripped jeans and my oversized Walmart brand tee shirt and stuffed them in my worn out pink traveling bag. I walked out of my room and took a deep breath. " Here I go." I said to myself. I ran past the kitchen, where my drunk stepdad was. He somehow saw me out of the corner of his eye, and he raced towards the door. Before he got to it, I grabbed it and yanked it open as hard as I could. He ran right behind me. I ran down our dirt sidewalk and raced down the street. He was literally an inch behind me. He grabbed me by the hair but I managed to get him off of me. " Come back here you ungrateful little bitch!" He screamed at me. My heart was pounding out of my chest. I ran down
the street and turned around to see that he gave up and was walking back home.I gave a huge sigh of relief.
