The Run-N-Pay

Chapter 1

Dear Diary,

I am sad to say that this is my last entry. My parents found this on my bed and said I need to burn it tonight. I really don't see the point in it. I guess they are just mad because they foudn out about my 6-day boyfriend. Well, I decided I had enough. They claim they love me, but if they loved me they'd care about my happiness. I can't take it anymore. I don't know where to go. Although, Jake said I could come over to his house. I don't know though. I don't want to intrude. I mean he wouldn't mind, I hope.

Anyways I love you. You were always there like you were actually my friend. I'm sorry I have to burn you. I love you.xx

Hi, I'm Melanie and I'm 18. I have black hair and blue eyes. It's a really odd combination. Although, I have been told it's beautiful. Yeah, whatever.

Tonight I will be leaving my house. Not the usual 18 year-old leaving the house shibang, though. I need to leave my parents treat me like a slave! I've had 18 long years of putting up with this shit. This is what they made me into.

Anyways, I'm planning on getting into a fight with them tonight. The fights usually end with me walking out and me returning, but not this time! I'm heading straight to the bike store down the street. My friend, Jake, gave me some money to buy a bike so I could ride to his house.

Jake already has his own home. See, I should be in college, but my parents never let me. There was no speak of college in the house. So while I was stuck in my room for eternity, he bough a house and went to a community college. He could afford it anyway. He is one of the hot-N-rich kind of guys. He was loaded! He's also a pretty nice friend.

3 hours later:

"MELANIE! YOU DIDN'T DO OUR LAUNDRY!" My mom yelled.

Well here goes nothing. Usually, I would avoid fights with my parents, but not this time.

I walked downstairs to see my parents waiting for me.

"Yes?" I said with a smile.

"Why didn't you do the laundry?" My dad asked.

I couldn't tell him I didn't feel like it, that would get me whipped.

See, my parents still do the "spankings" hard parents give their kids when they do something wrong. Except, these are not exactly the same. They hit me hard and on the back.

"I guess I forgot." I said.

I need this to go right. They need to tell me to get the hell out of there. I need them to think i'll come back.

"You're such an idiot!" My mom said.

My dad walked towards me and I winced.

"You ruined this family! You were just a mistake." he said. "GET OUT!"

Yes! Freedom! I will finally be free of them! I can actually get a job! With the help of Jake, I will be able to go to college!

I used my fake tears that I used all the time and walked out. When I shut the door my from instantly turned to a smile.

I was finally free.
