Sky

What am I going to do? I made my way around the room and catastrophized as I ran in circles. I finally stopped and flopped on the bed, I needed to come to my senses. If he comes home now, I'll have time to sneak my way out the fire escape.

I inhaled. The smoke flooded my nostrils as I unlocked my window gate. I love my window gate, it lets me enjoy the sky and the nature although there isn't much of it in the big city. I'd honestly rather be small town, but I cant help but admire the bright lights that clash with the darkness of the sky.

The gate unlatched, and I crept onto the cold metal. Hi stairs, it's been a while.

I brushed past and made my way down the flights of stairs, while adjusting the grip of my book bag as I made it down. When I finally reached the ground, I stopped to check if the coast was clear. The buzzing of cars hissed, and I sprinted out, and down four blocks. When I made my way to a traffic light, I stopped.

I used my dad's old work phone, he doesn't use it because he doesn't care about my school activities. I email the school that my mother is sick, and I'll be in late just for an excuse. Though I didn't have my mother anymore, no one really knew-but no one really cared either.

I glance at my watch, 7:25. Well, I might as well have missed first period, so I wont have to worry about Sydney and her posse. Not to mention Travis. They're both bullies I really don't want to talk about, and I couldn't ever. I feel like I have enough beatings until they come around. Not to mention the rumor of me being a whore, or etc.! And the beatings don't end there, theres more, other then my dad...I shiver at the thought. No, no no way! Not today! Not ever! Please don't be today! But it was Monday, and I knew he would kick me today. And punch, and drag and tatter, and stomp on me as if I were a bug-and torture me...Jackson Xienfer was the real monster...and he was coming for me...
