Chapter 1: Bella POV

"YOU BITCH! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT LEAVING THE HOUSE!" I just sit there against the wall, refusing to make eye contact with the person who's supposed to be my mother. This was worse then normal, it wasn't just a few scratches or bruises. She had actually cut my arm deep. I had it cradled against my chest while I stared unemotionally at the floor before me. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of seeing me cry. She didn't deserve that from me, not after the life she's put me through.

"You said not to leave."

"And why didn't you listen? What if someone had seen you? You better apologize you ungrateful little bitch." Great now he's home too, all they care about is their reputation. I just need to get out of here.

"I'm sorry for not listening to your rules." I knew exactly what to said, they drilled it into my mind at a young age and I haven't been able to forget. Tonight was the night, I'll have to call my grandmother so she knows to cover for me incase they call in the morning. I hope she doesn't mind me coming earlier then we had expected. We have been planning this since I was 14 and things started to get worse. I would send her a box of my stuff every other month with things I didn't necessarily need now, like memories, books, pictures. The stuff I didn't want I sent to good will or put it in the neighbors trash. I've been planning my escape for three years and my so called "parents" haven't even noticed.

"You better be now go to your room and stay there. We have company coming over and don't need you wrecking the night." Perfect, now I have time to pack everything and get out while they are asleep. Well I wouldn't call it sleeping since they will just be piss-face drunk. It's what always happens when they have people over late at night.

"Okay. I'll be quite." It'll be like I'm not even here. With that I dashed up the stairs, straight to my bathroom. I need to clean up my arm first so I could get packing. I thankfully only had two boxes left and enough cloths for one week which is all that would fit in my car(that I haven't used in a year). After I had everything by my window which I'll be leaving out of since I wanted to keep my door locked from the inside, I laid on my bed. As sleep started to over take me my final thought before my dreamless sleep was, I'm finally getting out of this hell hole.
