---BACKGROUND STORY---

I was the age of ten when I was taken from the perfect life. I had 2 parents and 3 siblings who loved me. Being the stupid person I am, I went outside one night and decided to go for a walk on the streets of NYC at 11:00 at night.

The walk was perfect...it was quiet and peaceful until a large maroon colored van came rolling down the pavement. It was rusty and made noises I didn't even know a vehicle could make. It stopped a few feet ahead of me...as I advanced past it, it followed. I was in my own silent panic.."I don't know why I went on this walk" I thought to myself. A tall skinny male came rushing out of the van..coming towards me. I started running. I kept running until my breath was heavy and I couldn't run any longer. I was scared and tired, but I had lost the van.

I sat under a tree until I regained strength. Taking in my surroundings, I could tell where I had run to. "I'm so stupid" I thought. The only reason I came out here was because my mom and dad started to fight and I didn't know how to react, they never fight..I got up and as I took my first step to home, I was grabbed by someone and thrown on the ground..kicked and punched until I was knocked out cold.

He picked up my small body and threw be back in the van. Him and His wife drove me to their house and waited until I woke up from the beating.

As my eyes started to open I saw The couple sitting on a ripped up couch that had cigarette buns all over it. "Get your lazy ass up and go clean the toilet I just shit on" he commanded. Was he talking to...me?
I had a confused look on my face and I think he could tell because he quickly responded with "Listen sweetheart, my name is Jimmy and this is Alexa. We will take care of you if you take care of us. Don't do what we say and get beaten. Now go do what I said and clean the toilet" "where are my parents?..and my sisters?"

I was dumbfounded. I have never seen this place before..it was dirty and smelled of cigarettes and hard liquor. There was a lump I'm my throat and my mouth was dry "Where is my family?" I manage to croak out.

"They are at home. Don't worry they are fine." Jimmy said while a grin spread across his face. "Then why am I here?" I questioned. I was dumb..an immature ten year old. "Your at home, see, this is where you live now. We will keep you here until you become a pain in the ass then toss you out there" pointing to the door. "and go find someone else who's.... New" he had a look on his face that only you would know if you saw it. By that point, I knew, life was going to be a struggle.

--END OF BACKGROUND STORY--

CLAIRE'S P.O.V

Ever since I was ten I have been here in this crap house with these crap people. I'm sixteen now. I've been through six years of hell and I'm about to give up. Jimmy and Alexa have beaten me everyday when they get home from work. Right now you might be thinking "why wouldn't you run off when they're off work?" But trust me I've tried, and it didn't go so well...

Jimmy works at a tech school. He teaches college kids how be creative and build their own invention using technology. He used his skill to make a motion sensor that contacts his phone when it detects movement. He planted it right outside the door and all the windows..I've tried to escape 2 times..one from the door and another from the windows and it lead to many beatings and hours of chores.

Right now Jimmy and Alexa are fighting. I absolutely dread when that happens. Alexa doesn't let Jimmy sleep in her room, Jimmy gets drunk and decides that he doesn't want to sleep on the couch...and that he wants to sleep with me. I think you know where in going.

As I lie on my bed thinking about what life would be if I didn't go on that walk, I hear someone coming down the hall. Alexa. Her shoes make a loud sound that I have learned to identify over the past years. I mentally prepare myself for what she is going to do with me after her fight with Jimmy but surprisingly she walks right past my room and into...her room?

Jimmy tags along right behind her slamming the door shut to their room. A sigh of relief escapes my mouth. I hear Jimmy complaining about how Alexa isn't good enough and I hear Alexa crying. This always happens. It takes about 2 hours until they makeup and have dirty makeup sex...ew.

"2 hours is just enough time to got out of this hell hole" I laugh to myself.
Wait...is it? I can't believe myself. Why would I even think about it? I mean yeah, the alarms are off because they are both home and they are distracted by each other but I couldn't possibly catch the bus in time. The bus. THE BUS. I quickly turn my had to the old clock I have sitting in the corner of my room. It reads 8:54. That gives me six minutes to pack my things, escape the house and run to the bus. Plus, I have been finding loose change in Jimmy's laundry since I got here and I've been hiding all my findings wrapped it in an old tee-short hidden in a drawer.

I don't even give myself time to think about the consequences before I shuffle off my bed and take the pillow case from my pillow. As I stuff my 2 shirts and torn sweatpants into the case a wave of joy comes across me. "I think I can do this" I saw out loud with a smile from ear to ear plastered on my face. I have everything including the money in the pillow case and I'm ready to go. I look at the clock one last time and it says 8:56. I slide the old rusty window open just enough to where I can barley slide out. I throw the pillow case out and hear it land on the grass below me. "Now all I have to do is jump then I'll be free" I whisper to myself to gain confidence. I put both my legs out the window and now I'm sitting on the pane. "You can do this" I push off with my hands and fall to the grass, grab the case, and run for freedom, run for joy, run for life.
