Escape [H.S]

Chapter one

Julia's POV

My best friend Chloe moved to England when I was 8. We kept in touch, saw each other every few months. We did Skype, FaceTime, texted for the times we spend apart. I'm 17 years of age and I lived with my parents. The visits stop becoming so frequent when the family started having problems.

My father 'James' was a abusive man. My mother 'Fainy' was scared every time he took a sip of his drug. It's like his blood was exchanged for liquor, his soul crumbled and his heart turned into rock. He wasn't my father. At this point he was a stranger.

My mother obviously got beaten with her begging for him to stop his drinking addiction and I got a few hits for not 'listening'. When I was 15 my mum wrote me a letter. I only take it out and read it when I'm feeling low.

When I was 15 mum took off somewhere and that hurt because it felt like she was putting me through this battle all by myself. That's when I gave up on myself and on that night I thing mum did too. She left me with my unrecognisable father. What kind off mother would do that to there child.

No mother.

At the age of 16 my dad became more violent and I became his own punching bag. I cut when everything got to hard because I couldn't do anything and no one could nel me because of my dads controlling ways. I knew mum wasn't coming back so I thought she passed.

When dad left the house he got his mates to 'look' after me. They always took advantage of me. That that's how I got more hits for not listening. When dad was out once he cuffed me to my bed so I wouldn't run. That was my chance to escape.

I grabbed the closest thing near me. Wood from the table dad broke. I tried to hit the cuff multiple times but it wouldn't brake. I grab my cuffed wrist and put my body weight forward and slammed my body back and a loud groan of pain escaped my lips every time I attempted to escape.

Six goes later I got free awarded with bruised wrist bone and and bloody and scarred wrist. I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed 000 as fast as I could and told them my location. I grabbed my journal and the stars and headed strait for the front door.

Just before I could taste my freedom my father was at my door step he had an evil chuckle and he asked 'where do you think your going?' And 'you won't get out here alive'.

He grabbed my neck, squeezed it saw hard that I was suffocating. At that moment I thought maybe this was my only freedom. I was waiting till that last moment until the door broke down. Suddenly though familiar hand released my neck and I collapsed to the ground holding my neck so I could try and regain my breath.

Paramedics ran to be to see if I was okay and the cops ran straight for my father. Hand behind his back. He has a frown on his face but then smirks. He mouths 'this isn't done' and walks out.

I open my eyes when I feel a shake on my arm.

"Miss, are you alright. Your breath was have. I think you were having a nightmare" the flight attendant comments.

"Ah, yes, I'm sorry a unpleasant memory just pop up" I gave her a tired smile.

She gave me a sympathetic smile back and walk off. 'Ding, dong, ding, dong' went off through the whole plain to signal that the pilots are going to give us a message.

"Hello, I hope you enjoyed your flight. Please hold tight, the plain will be landing in England in 5 minutes. Repeat. Hello, I hope you enjoyed you flight. Please hold on tight, the plain will be landing in 5 minutes".

I inhaled slowly and rested my back into the seat and then exhaled slowly and shut my eyes.
Chloe's family heard about my 'Family issues' so they decided to send me to England to live with then until I'm old enough to go on my own.

When the plain touched the ground you could hear the crumbling of the gravel under neath us. I sighed of relief that this that's this plain trip from Australia from England. When the plain stopped you could hear that irritating tune again.

'Ding, dong, ding, dong'. A few moments later the pilot decides to speak.

"You have made it safely in England and I hope you enjoy your stay. The exit is where your flight attendant is standing and once again, enjoy your stay".

I unbuckle my plain belt and head the the flight attendant who is closest. I walk town the steps where my feet plant onto my new chilly surroundings.

"England" I breath. Here we go.
