JJ POV

"JAYLYNN! Come here!" a voice yelled.

"Coming mother!" I screeched back.

Pulling on my other black leather boot, I stood up and sighed. I was wearing black ripped skinny jeans, a dark purple shirt, my leather jacket, and my leather boots. Before I left my room, I pulled up my jacket sleeve to look at the scars littering my wrist. They were all over both of my arms, thighs, and stomach. They weren't there because of an accident. I put them there. My parents found me cutting my wrists one day. They flipped out and took me to the hospital. I was sent to rehabilitation for a month. If my older sister didn't hate me before, she certainly thought I was disgusting and a disgrace after I was sent there. My dog Delilah whined and nudged my leg. I smiled and looked down. I stroked her head and sighed again. Pulling down my jacket sleeve, I checked my hair in the mirror before I left my room. Delilah followed after me as I walked down the stairs.

"There you are my dear." my mother purred.

'Great,' I thought, 'They're leaving me home alone. Again.'

"Your father, sister, and I are going to get your sister ready for her party. You know the rules. Stay inside and don't leave the house. We will have people watching you.

"Yes mother." I forced a smile.

I feel like most of my smiles these days are fake. I hate my family. My parents have been so annoying since the day they found me with blood dripping down my arms. They don't love me. The only reason they sent me to rehab is because they've got a reputation to keep. They're just mad at me because I refuse to be like my sister. I hate attention. They have someone body check me every week. I hate it. That's why tonight, I'm leaving. Delilah and I are going to run away with my friend Tristan. He's the only one who ever cared. I went back up to my room to finish packing two backpacks. One for me, one for Tristan. I put food and water in both of them. In mine, I put pencils, a mechanical pencil sharpener, two sketchbooks, a medium sized bin of dog food, and an extra pair of clothes. Now all that's left is to wait.

My sister's party started tomorrow. It was dark outside and my parents and sister were asleep.

"Come on Delilah." I whispered.

Delilah followed me down the stairs. I had the two backpacks over my shoulders. I went to the kitchen and quickly disabled the alarm. I put three envelopes on the kitchen table for my parents and sister to find in the morning. Quickly and quietly, Delilah and I exited the house. I shut the door behind me and began running towards the end of our property. Once I crossed the property line, I was home free. I slowed my run to a jog, then down to a walk. I went to the park where Tristan and I usually met. Tristan met me in the center of the park.

"Hey Jay," he greeted, "Hey Delilah."

He ruffled her ears and she wagged her tail.

"Here. This is for you." I announced, handing over the backpack.

"So we're really going to do it?" Tristan confirmed.

"You don't have to come with me. But I'm done with them. I can't stand their constant nagging. It's irritating and I'm just done with them. All three of them."

"Oh I'm still coming with you. There's no way you're doing this without me."

I smiled a real smile for the first time in a long time.

"Ok so here's what I think we should do. We should go and spent the night at the orphanage. Then leave after lunch time. That way, your parents and sister will know that you are gone, but they won't be able to come after you because of your sister's party. They should be too occupied with that for the rest of the day so they won't come after us until the next day. But by then, we'll be long gone."

Tristan and I went to the orphanage. I couldn't wait to leave tomorrow. Once I had been given a bed, I fell asleep instantly.

I woke up to screaming.

"JJ!" I heard Tristan yell, "We need to go!"

Tristan and I ran out of the orphanage.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"I don't know. These weird things attacked us. We need to get out of the city. Now." he replied.

We sprinted out of the city. We could hear screaming as we ran. Once we got out of the city, I was shocked. We had just ran into barren wasteland.
