He loosen his grip on the knife and it fell from his hand.
I was ready for another maltreatment but I turned quickly when I heard him fall to the ground and he was asleep cause of drunkenness.
I felt a bit relived. But I had to get out of this house before my dad wakes up.
I didn't intent to leave him in the kitchen like that I couldn't carry him too.
I quickly left the kitchen to go but i thought that I have to carry more of my cloths,my toothbrush and my under wears cause I don't know whether I can leave in this house any longer so far my backbone has left me in this world. I went back to the room and pack almost all my cloths.
The I decided to write a letter for my dad maybe if he reads it he will try and look for me and reconcile with me and we have these father-daughter relationship. Which was never possible.
I took out my pen and paper and began to write.
Dear Dad I don't know why you hated I and mum. I have tried to be a good daughter to you and mum also tried to be a good wife to you.
But dad I have to leave you and go on with my life. I don't know whether you will look for me or not.
But in case we don't see anymore I wish you have a good life.
Tears came to my eyes as a remembered the last time mum had with me and this so called man called my dad ruiened everything that know not knowing that my mum won't come back home with me.
I then remembered I was writing something.
And dad please stop hating on me I am your daughter and I love you sincerely
Bianca.
I folded the paper and entered his room and dropped it on the bed and took a final look at my house. And then left..... for good.
I took my truck my mum left for me and I drove to Jordan house which was not far from mine but not that my dad could find me there either.
I packed my trunk and went to take my bag and rang the bell to Jordan's door.
She came out and hugged me and took my bags from me.
"Bianca what took you so long to get here" Jordan asked me.
I was contemplating whether I should tell her what occurred between I and dad. But I decided to leave it.
"I was just missing my mom and went to stay in her room for a while." I told her.
