Chapter 1

My life has been so hard because of the abuse I go though. Every time I think things are going to get easier they only seem to get worse. If I don't get things done on time there is no food for me. so I tried to get the dishes done on time so I could have food cause I did not eat dinner last night. Every day when I go to school the nurse checks my abuse marks. But little did I know that today was going to go a lot differently. In a few minutes we arrive at our town police station. The cop takes by my elbow in  to a big office. Where just me and him would sit and talk. He asked me about mom and he says its OK to tell him. So I told him all about mom. I was scared to cause I always thought I was supposed to protect mom. Then he asked for my phone number again, and  I said why I was scared. Then he calls mom. He tells her I wont be coming home and I am in their hands now. He told me I was free I said really I cant believe this. All I keep thinking is wow, I wont get hit any more, and  I can have the happiness I deserved before. Now my life will be like I have always dreamed, packed full of fun and no abuse. The cop telling me that is the best news I could ever hear.
