Chapter 1:

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Ugh. I can't believe its morning. I slowly roll out of bed to turn the alarm off before it wakes up Renee. I'm so sore and stiff after what my Mom thought was a going away gift last night. For the past few years I would do anything to get out of this house and today is the day. I'm just not sure of what awaits me where I am going and that is something that really scares me.

Today is the day I am moving to a new town to live with a Dad. My Dad abandoned me when I was a baby so I don't have high hopes for this move. I mean this guy who is supposed to be my Dad didn't want anything to do with me when I was a baby so why would he want anything to do with me know. He just left me with Renee when I was a few days old and didn't care what happened to me. I really wish they would have just put me up for adoption or let me to go to foster care. At least in Foster care I could have a little hope of having a normal life.

My Mom Renee just can't deal with me any more and now that she has her new boyfriend Phil she really doesn't want me around. I guess that is something her and my Dad does have in common; they are great at giving up their kid. I just wish I wasn't that kid.

Renee and I have been living the last few years in Arizona. If you ask me it's too hot here, but its better then some of the places where we have lived. It's never up to me where we live or what we do so I should just be happy we have been in the same place for so long. I don't have any friends at school so that's a plus for moving again, I won't have anyone that I will miss. There's no way I will miss Renee. She stopped being my Mom years ago.

I head into the bathroom so I can get ready before my shuttle is here to pick me up. Yep, Renee isn't even taking me to the airport. If I'm lucky I won't see her at all this morning.

After my shower I look in the mirror and hate what I see starting back at me. My hair is long and stringy, I'm pale, and lucky me there is a big red mark on my cheek. That's just great. Now everyone will be staring at me. Renee doesn't give me enough money to buy make up so I have no way of hiding this. Hell, she barely gives me enough money to buy food to feed us both. I have to do all the shopping, cooking, and cleaning in the house. She gives me a little bit of money each Sunday so I can get what ever is needed and there is never enough for a whole week worth of food for two people. I learned long ago it was better Renee have a normal helping of food and better for me to go without rather than both of us have smaller meals. I can usually budget the money well enough so that I have a little bit of money to buy a few packets of noodles or soup. Then I just have to spread it out over the whole week.

I finish getting ready and put the last of my things in the two bags that I have ready. I slowly make my way to the door hoping the shuttle might just be here already. I grab my ticket off the counter with the money Renee left me for the shuttle and head outside. I was only waiting a few more minutes before the shuttle showed up. As it pulled away from the curb I couldn't help but look back and hope it's the last time I ever see that house.

I stayed quiet on the ride to the airport. The driver kept asking the different passengers about their trips and where they are going. Thankfully no one asked me anything. When we got to the airport I notice my flight was on time, but I still had about an hour before it boarded. I headed to the gate and sat down with the only book I owned. I've read this thing about twelve times but when you have nothing else to do it's great at passing the time.

A part of me was hoping the flight was going to be late just so I could enjoy this time by myself. I don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning right now and I don't have to worry about someone hitting me. At least for a few hours I don't. I really have no idea what it is going to be like once I get to my Dad's place.
