Chapter One - The Plan

I am alone but nobody notices. A fake smile that has been plastered on. But people seem to by it. I live in a small two bedroom trailer. My mom has the small bed room and my three sisters have the large bedroom. and I have the couch. It was eight at night when I heard my mom stomp towards me. She walked over to me, "what is this Krissy? She asked holding my report card. I shrugged my shoulders she grabbed me by my arm and dragged me off the couch. "Noes to the wall" she said. I did and out the corner of my eye I saw her grab a belt that had holes in the top. I told myself it was almost over but with every hit I thought I would die. "I'm done" she said stopping and I fell to the floor. I didn't cry it hurt so bad that I was just thinking about the pain. "I do this because I love you." She said and then left the room. I cried, I cried a lot. thinking of the pain and how much I'm not loved. I snapped out of it. I go to the closet to get a blanket but a giant suitcase was in my way. I grab it and open it. There was a one way ticket to California and a phone number on the back. I saw an opportunity and i took it! I grab everything i own and throw it into that suitcase. Crap! I have no money. I go to a drawer to grab my mothers five hundred dollars then stuff it into the suitcase. i grab the case, money, and the ticket and go out the door heading to the airport...
