Escaping

...A girl is screaming for help because her parents have been abusive towards her, they even tried to kill her once when she was in grade 6....

..."Please stop, it's hurting, please don't hit me anymore" the poor girl said begging for mercy. "I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU LEARN YOUR LESSONS" her cruel mom said furiously....

...Her dad is just watching emotionless, while the mother has been hitting the daughter for more than an hour...

..."Did you learn your lessons?" the mother said stopping. "I SAID, DID YOU LEARN YOUR LESSONS?" she asked again but this time Ashley just nodded...

...Ashley is just crying helplessly, she was screaming for help but no one came. She wanted to escape from the prison she's in right now....

...She walked to her room weakly and locked the door to cry more. Not only that, but she never felt the love she wanted because her biological parents left her....

..."Why does it have to be me?, Am I that useless?" she said sobbing "I just want to escape this prison, but how?" she told herself....

...A loud knock could be heard from outside her door. She stood up quickly but weakly...

..."HEY *****, COOK US FOOD WE ARE HUNGRY" she demanded. Ashley just did what her step-mom told her....

...Ashley only get the leftover food, and sometimes she can't eat because the didn't left anything....

...She washed the dishes when they were done eating. This was the second day she hasn't eaten anything....

...She went to her bedroom and was about to sleep, but she thought of escaping, she looked at the window and opened it...

...Then, the door suddenly opened revealing her step-dad "What are you doing?" he asked "I-I w-was j-just t-taking s-some f-fresh a-a-air" she said nervously...

...Good thing the man believed her and left. Ashley took this chance and looked down "Ooohh, that's pretty high, but I'll do anything to escape from this prison" ...

...And with that she jumped and landed, then she ran out of the house opening the gate quietly and got out of there...

...She was happily running around until she realized, she don't know where she will go for the night...

...She was deciding if she sleep on the streets or stay up all night to wait for help...

..."Should I sleep in this bench or stay up all night to look for help?" she asked herself over and over again....

...THE next day she woke up on the bench. A lot of people was looking at her with pity in their eyes, then a guy caught her attention, he was heading towards her...

...She thought he was heading the other way, so she ignored it. Then he said "Are you ok, I don't trust people that easy, but I'm seeing something different in your eyes" he said willing to help Ashley. ...

..."My eyes?" the guy nodded "So where do you leave?" he suddenly asked making Ashley froze. ...

...Do I have a house? That always come to her mind. She even wondered if somebody still loves her. ...

..."Well I have...... before" she just said sadly and walked out of there. She starts to get teary but held it in, because people might think she's weird...
