Chapter 1
Today is the day. The day I get a new start at life. The day I get away from the torture. The day I leave Doncaster and my abusive mother and brother. The day me and my dad move to London and life a new life. Or so I hope.
You see the thing is when I was 12 I came home to find my mother drunk, which was very rare cause she didn't like alcohol, she said it didn't taste nice. But this day she obviously thought it was nice. When she saw me come in she started getting angry, she started throwing things at me, then she began punching and kicking me. That lasted about half an hour when my older brother walked in. Mum encouraged him to join in. To join the fun she was having beating her daughter.
This then happened everyday after school, before school, whenever they could lay there hands one me. Luckily for me, one day after school I was enduring the usual beating when my friend, Sam, just walked in. He saw what was happening and promised me he would get me out of this and do what ever he could to make sure it stopped. He had always been like a big brother/best friend but this just made our bond stronger.
He stuck true to his word and by the next evening he had gotten me out of the house and somewhere private where I could tell my dad what was happening with Sam as back up, just in case he didn't believe me.
Luckily he did, and that's what got us to where we are today. He went straight to the police who arrested my mother and took my brother to a juvenile detention unit as he was not yet over the age 18. He also got a divorce filed and restraining orders against both my mother and brother.
So today we are moving to London to get away from that town and because dad got a new job working at Great Ormond Street Hospital working as the head consultant in the Orthopaedic unit. This means I'm going to be home alone a lot because dad will always be busy but also I am going to be home schooled as it is half way through the school year and no schools are accepting students at this point in the academic year.
Everything was now loaded into the van and we were ready to leave, I was finishing saying my last goodbye to my closest friends including Sam, when dad honked the horn telling me to get in the vehicle. Once I was in the van we hit the road on our way to our new life. This was going to be the beginning of My Changed Life.
