I had been running for what felt like hours. My legs and lungs burning from running.
My step dad had come home drunk again. I don't even know why my mom is still with that asshole, she isn't even happy with him, all I hear from them is fighting.
When my dad died my mom found a random guy to help her cope, and just had to find the biggest asshole in the United States.
Me and my sister, Ally, ran to a little coffee shop that we always run to when this happens. Since I had turned 19 just last week I could take her away from here and somewhere better. I know my mom wound be heart broken to see her kids run off but she broke our hearts when she got with that cunt of a man.
"Hey, so I had an idea. So we could get out of here away from Jim." Me and my sister had found a corner on the almost empty coffee shop, but still sat there so we couldn't get pittied on.
"But what about mom? She would be devastated if we just left." "We can still come back and visit. But we both know that if we stay any longer..." I couldn't even finish the damn sentence, but Ally didn't need me to finish the sentence.
"What's the plan?" "I thought we could go to London, I know a guy there that would help us."
"I'm not leaving America, I might go to the next state over so I don't pass ways with Jim, but I just can't leave all the memories we had here before Jim, before dad died..."
I couldn't argue with her, she was right. We hadn't always had Jim around, but I needed this I need a new fresh start.
"I understand, but I'm going to London, I have an old friend there, James. He said he would help me get a place to live if I need it. I need it."
"I can go live in Nevada with aunt Anna. So a are we gonna do this?"
"Yes, we are."
/Time skip\
We got into the house from the back door, and saw my mom with a bloody nose laying on the couch, asleep. We silently went to out rooms.
I decided to start on my quest to London, starting with a text to James
Marriott Hotels: James Lynn: Stacie
Lynn: Hey, I think I'm ready to come. Ik it's kinda random, and I'm sorry
Marriott Hotels: Don't be sorry. I have a few friends who have been wanting a new roommate, would that be ok?
Lynn: Yessss! Omg Idk how I could repay you! I'll text you when I get on the plane. Ily!!! Marriott Hotels: You don't need to worry about repaying me, I'll see you then!!! Ilyt
Imediantly after I read his text I started packing, I needed to leave as soon as possible. I knew my mom and dad would be mad but I didn't care at the moment.
I heard shuffling outside my room and froze, I might not even make it to the airport at this point. The person fell and I heard a groan. It wasnt my mom or Jim, but my step brother, Harisson.
We were not where near friends, but he would be there to protect me and my sister when his dad would try to hurt us, it usually didn't work.
He was the typical popular school jock, just not at home. His dad made sure he was the best ever, even becoming toxic, with Harri having to stand for hours, just staying in that one spot to fix his posture while at the dinner table.
I opened the door to see why he fell. He looked up at me and stood up slowly. His foot looked hurt, it was huge and swollen.
"I broke my foot while fighting another kid." He looked around to switch the conversation and saw suitcases with clothes and other belongings.
"Wait, are you leaving? Does Diane and Jim know about this?"
"No, Ally knows, but that's it. I'm gonna go to London, I have a friend there and he said I would have a place to stay. Ally is gonna go to Nevada with our aunt. Can you stay here by your self?"
"Yeah, I'm only here because I didn't have enough money to leave, but now I do." He was a photographer, on the weekend he would go out to LA or Palm Springs and take photos for celebrities weddings, Coachella, Vogue, and all other others.
He got lots of money from this, but of course his father would much rather have him be an office worker.
I was a model, I would work for Vogue, Chanel, Gucci and things like that. I was also an Instagram influencer, getting brand deals with the companies I worked with, singers to promote their music, and food companies. I did also do a variety of YouTube videos, my most popular ones are 'A Day in the life of a model' and 'Get ready with me'.
Ally was a straight student and had amazing scholarships so she could be a marine biologist. But couldn't live by herself since she was 16.
Harri went back to his room and I went back to packing.

jamesmarriottyt: willne, don't try anything with her
imalexx: I thought James was more loyal 😔 and is willne crushing on her?
willne: piss off.
offstaclyn: I can't wait to see u James!!!
Who was this Willne I saw all over his comments, I didn't feel like checking his profile since he's one of James friends and probably cute.
Finally, I was done packing, I checked the time, 4:45, I knew that Jim was going to wake up soon and I was tired. I lay down and felt asleep.
