The next day, I woke up at 5:00 Am to hear my mom swearing at a random stranger that she slept with. All I heard was "LEAVE NOW BEFORE I GET ARRESTED!!" Then the man said "they won't know your a prostitute, just calm down" I then sneak out of my room to get in the shower. I was done with my shower in 2 minutes and when I got out to get dressed for school I still heard my mom and the stranger fighting. I then went downstairs to ask the stranger to stay and never leave or take me with you but my mom yelled "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU LITTLE SKANK!" So I grabbed my book bag and run outside. I walk to my bus stop crying and my best friend fandom_foreva was there and asked "what's wrong?? Is everything ok??" I said "My mom is still abusing me" I reply. "Aren't you sick of it?" She asked. "No I'm m used to it now" I said "I wish I could do something about this..." "Me too but I can't because we have no phone I can access." So she pulls her phone out of her pocket and dials 911. I say "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!??" But the bus came before she was able to press the call button. On the way to the bus stop, my friend and I start talking about how I can get away from this abusive life I live. Suddenly, I heard my friend say "Hey, Jamie, what If my parents called someone to adopt you?" "That sounds good but I don't think I'm ready..."
