She got to her knees to see another brutal punch coming at her. It struck her left cheek and sent her falling to the floor again. From the floor she looked up to see his face bright red and teeth clenched. Then he kicked her stomach and knocked the wind out of her. In her head all she thought was this is the third time this week he has beat me. I need to get out. She got to her feet and without looking back at her furious boyfriend sprinted for the door grabbing her car keys on the way. Her car was parked right in front of their washingtion condo. She put the keys in the egnision and put the car in drive. She heard him yelling at her as she sped off.
She got on the high way and started thinking about were she would go. She thought about going to her parents house but knew her dad would tell her it was her falt for going to live with a guy she's not married to. Then she thought about going to see her grandma in Alazka. She thought of her grandma's farm, with the horses and cows and fields of corn and wheat. She had gone there evry summer befor her mother and grandmother got into a big fight. She hadn't seen her sence.
