Kidnapped

Chapter 1

#LIFE

The one thing I hate the most in the world is my life...

"Jenna, get down here before I beat you!" I hear my mom yell at me from down the stairs. I know she will do it, so I quickly get dressed and get ready for school. My mom started being like this when my dad left and my older brother Logan went to high school and decided to start taking drugs. She has been abusive and extremely paranoid ever since and pretty much hates me. So, I do as I'm told and go downstairs to face my punishment for taking too long. I sit down at the table and she walks over to me cautiously and slaps hard on the cheek causing tears to spring to my eyes. But I quickly wipe them away hoping she didn't see and get the self satisfaction she wants. Instead, I get up and run to the bus stop with her yelling at me to come back, but I just ignore her and keep running while pulling my iPhone out of my pocket. I quickly pop my earbuds into my ears and turn up my music so it drowns out the sound of mom's retched voice. As I get to the bus stop I already see the bus coming around the corner. It stops with abrupt halt in front of me and I get on to see my best friend Sami waving me over. I jog down the aisle to her and find that my crush since 7th grade is sitting on the other side of the aisle from us. I turn to him and give him an awkward smile. He looks at me and says,"Jenna, I've been meaning to talk to you. I was wondering if you would go to prom with me?" I was speechless, finally the moment I had been waiting for 6 years had come. "YES!" I practically screamed. He smiled that gorgeous smile of his and I smiled widely. I turn to my friend with the same stupid grin I had on my face and start screaming, forgetting all about Martin who's still sitting next to me. I laugh but give Sami all the details. I was so happy I couldn't even explain it.

*End Of School Day*

At the end of the day I decided to sit next to Martin seeing as how we were going to prom together. When I finally got off the bus and got into my house I was greeted with a big blow to the nose. I'm pretty sure it broke but my mom didnt stop. She kept on hitting and slapping me until I was bawling. I quickly pushed her away and ran up to my room. I was done...
