Saved: A Jonathan Groff fanfic

Chapter 1- Running

Lucy's POV

I woke up in my most recent foster home. I'm 14 and I was 7 when my parents were hit by a car. Ever since then I have been moving from foster home to foster home and let's just say thing's haven't exactly been great.

"Lucy!"

"Sh*t" I muttered to myself.

"Lucy get in here you wh*re!"

I got up off of the mattress that was lying in the corner of my room and ran into the living room.

"I need you to clean this place up you need to clean up your mess you pig." Arthur demanded as I cowered below him.

"Y-yes A-arthur."

"What's that you s-s-said you little twerp?!" Arthur mocked.

"N-nothing Arthur" I stuttered, the fear inside my gut growing.

I was struck across the cheek and fell to the ground as Arthur towered over me and began to kick.

"Learn to speak you f*cking sl*t!!" He boomed as I slowly slipped out of consciousness.

When I awoke, I was on the floor where Arthur had left me. He would be out at work by now.

I got up and limped back to my room. I had approximately 5 hours to clean the house before he got back. Suddenly I had an amazing and brilliant and stupid idea that would probably never work. But I had to give it a shot.

I packed one of my Arthur's backpacks with the grand total of 5 different outfits that I had, all of which were about 3 sizes to small, but clothes are clothes and I didn't know when I'd be getting more. I then opened my closet and took out a small box with money that my Mum had left for me. There was only about $300 but it was better than nothing.

Once I was packed, I ran over to the front door and stood with my hand hovering over the doorknob. I shakily undid the lock and hastily made my way out of the apartment block into the streets of New York.

I walked around aimlessly for multiple hours before deciding that I should probably find a sheltered spot to sleep. I started to cross the road not paying much attention when I was brought back to reality by the loud honks of a taxi that had almost hit me. I quickly speed walked to the other side and looked around me. I was in front of what appeared to be a theater.

After walking around the outside of the theater I found a small Alleyway which was relatively covered and decided to settle down here for the night.

Hi I hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
