Chapter 1: The start I was sitting on the living room couch, happy my dad was out at the bar, but just before I got my hopes fully up there he came stumbling in. The alcohol smell still fresh on his clothes. I slowly got up starting to walk away till he spotted me "Don't even think about!" He yelled at me, he pushed me into the wall and I had lost my balance crashing to the floor. "Get up!" He yelled, I stayed on the floor tears welling in the corners of my eyes. "I said get up!" He yelled louder, he kicked me over and over before picking me up by my shirt collar. He slapped me, making me sob more his hand mark on my cheek "Stop the crying!" He shouted so loud, "What did I say, Morgan!?" He yelled so loud he almost bursted my ear drums. I stopped crying but he dropped me and kicked me over and over. "HELP ME!!!!" I yelled so loud the neighboors came rushing in. I was bloody on the floor my sides starting to show the bruises, tears staining my cheeks. The neighboors called the cops and sure enough they came in 10 minutes arresting my dad. A women came up behind me touching my shoulder, I flinched. "Time to go to the adoption center." The woman said and I got into the car.
