"JESSICA!" My 'mother' screamed for me.

I walked into the living room to find her in there with her belt.

I'm 16, and she thinks that it's okay to beat me. With a belt.

"Ma'am?" I asked her.

"You didn't do the dishes." She said.

"You didn't ask me." I said back.

"Don't talk back to me." She said then walked over to me and hit me in the leg. I then ran into the kitchen and started to clean the dishes. I washed them, rinsed them, then put them up.

"WHEN YOU GET DONE, DO MY LAUNDRY!" My 'dad' yelled to me.

When I finished the dishes and the laundry, I went into my room and lied down.

I woke up to my alarm clock at 6:00A.M. I then started getting ready. I took a shower, then put on my 'Guns N' Roses' tank top and my studded high waisted shorts. I blow dried my hair and straightened it. I then put on my black Vans and my keys and purse.

You might think I'm going to school, but I'm going to work. It's Friday, but I don't have school on Fridays. My school lets me take off for work. I've been working as a cosmetologist for 2 years.

My foster parents take all of my money when I get paid. Just kidding. I cash it in and take about half of it. I make about $25,000 a year. So, saving up abut $1,041 each month for two years, can get you a lot of money.

When I got off of work, I went back home. I changed and collapsed onto my bed and started to think...

'I'm so sick of this.' I thought to myself.
'I'm sick of being treated like a peasant'
'A maid'
'A slave'

That's when I had enough. I realized how pathetic and worthless this was. I went into my closet. I grabbed my rolling bag, my suitcase, and my backpack. I put all of my clothes, makeup, and electronics in there. I grabbed my phone and my money. I have saved up about $25,000 over these two years. That will do me a lot actually.

I then crept into the living room with all of my stuff, grabbed my keys and purse, and headed out the door. I took my car and left. Where I was headed, I have no idea. I kept driving until I realized that if I wanted to make it with my money, I can't pay for the gas every time I need it filled up. So when I run out of gas, I'll leave the car.

It's nothing special, it's just a tiny, beat-up, pickup truck. I ran out of gas near a bus. Thank god. I can ride the bus. I turned next to the bus stop, and turned my truck off. I threw my keys into the passenger seat and grabbed all of my stuff.

'Someone's going to need this more than me' I thought to myself.

I got out and waited at the bus stop. There was someone really cute sitting next to me. He had on red Vans, a tie dye cut-off shirt, khakis, and a tie dye bandana.

"Hi." He said and smiled at me. I guess he caught me looking.

"Hi." I smiled and waved to him.

"How are you?" He asked me.

"I'm fine." I said to him. Lies.

"Oh come on. You don't look like you're fine. You look as if you're running away." He said. Dang. He's actually concerned.

"Well, yeah. My foster parents abused me." I said to him putting my head down.

"Hey, it's okay. Do you have anywhere to go?" He asked me. I shook my head no and a tear fell from my eye.

"Hey hey hey. Don't be sad. It's not your fault they're assholes." He said to me. "Would you like to stay with me?" He added.

I looked at him for a bit. He doesn't seem creepy. He seems really nice actually. He looks about 16. How bad could I be hurt? Can't be worse than my foster parents.

"Sure." I said and we both smiled.

"Where do you live?" I asked him.

"About an hour away." He told me. I nodded and hugged him.

"Thank you so much." I mumbled into his ear. He nodded and stood up.

I looked over and saw the bus was here. Hmm... I didn't even notice it. Okay...
I walked onto the bus and sat down next to....

"Hey. What's your name?" I asked him.

"Taylor. Taylor Caniff." He tells me.

I smiled and said, "My names Jessica Gibbs."
