by Abby in Missouri

I heard a loud banging on my bedroom door. I ran and hid under my bed then i heard my door slam open and pictures fall from the walls. My alchohalic stepdad barged into my room and I could tell he was drunk again like he was almost everyday he came homefrom work. Then i saw his feet in front of the bed he looked down and looked right into my eyes. Next he grabbed my hair and yanked me out from under my bed and threw me into the wall. "WHAT WHERE YOU DOIN UNDER THERE?!" he yelled angerly at me. "nu nu nuthing" i stuturd. " u were hidding from me werent you why where you hidding from me? Am i scary, do i scare you?!" he yelled in my face. " no sir." i told him right before he slapped my face. I could feel the sting on my face and reached my hand up onto my cheek were he just struck me. I felt the heat of my face and realized just then this was it I was not going to deal with this anymore i was going to runawayThe next morning i awoke at 5:30 a.m. then i packed my things into my only bag and made my escape threw the ront door. next i started to run i didnt no were i was running and i didnt care aslong as i was fa away from him and my mother. im a 13 yearold girl by the name of alix with sandy blonde curly hair and i was finally free. then i sat my bag down on the side walk and stuck up my thumb hopeing to get a ride bfore they realized i was gone. Before i could get out pf the way a car drove right in front of me and several cars followed and i could hear police cars in the background. then i heard a women screma and a gun shot!
