We've stopped looking for monsters underneath our beds, and started looking for them in our heads. I'm done. I'm done with the pain, the name calling, the laughs, the being pushed around, the crying. I'm just done. I've bottled up my emotions long enough. No one knows. I scream in the dark and no one hears. I cry in the corner and no one sees. I put on a fake smile and do my work and tell everyone that I'm fine, that I am perfect when inside I'm broken. I can't be fixed. No one can fix me. I am too far gone. I have made my choice and there is no going back now. No, oops I didn't mean to do that. Redo. I will kill myself because I am broken and no one cares. And so tonight the blood will run free. It will escape this prison of skin and be free.

I watched as he rubbed the back of his neck and turned around, walking away but stopping after a few steps and he turned around to face me, with a smirk on his lips, "With a face like yours, I wish I was blind." And that's when everyone around us burst into laughter. I thought this man was going to hug me and make me feel safe, but instead, he decided to push me to the ground and make everyone laugh. I've been called things and people have said some mean stuff to me but never did anything like that hurt as much as it did now. But why? Amelia Taylor, a girl living a hard life. Always going into hiding with her father and always fed lies from him. He makes her work when he needs the money, not to pay any bills but to try and pay off some dangerous people who threaten to kill her father, he has a problem with money as he always finds an excuse to use Amelia's hard earning cash for alcohol. He controls the way she lives, letting her out to work and ever so rarely to go shopping or go out with a friend. All Amelia wants is to be on her own, away from the lies, away from the people who don't care about her anymore, away from the wolves and those who hunt them.
