I own nothing from Twilight, but I wish I owned Paul ;))
Danica's POV
I stare at the cuts in my hands. This is how my life is every single day. My name is Danica Gomez and I am sixteen years old. My mom Maria was eighteen when she met my dad. They were both pure Latinos and in love with each other. They got married and had me a year later, but sadly my father died two years later from a robbery gone wrong at a supermarket. Every time my mom would look at me, she would start crying saying "you look just like him." I would go stand by the mirror and stare at myself. My waist length dark chocolate hair, deep brown eyes, my caramel colored skin is exactly like his. About two years ago we moved to Forks, where my mom got remarried to a man called Felix. He seemed shady and creepy, but I just ignored it because he made my mom happy.
My entire life changed when I was fifteen. Felix pulled me out of school sometime in September. He told me that my mom was in a car crash and didn't survive. I cried for three days before attending her funeral. It was hard watching her go down. I looked at Felix and he looked like he hadn't slept in days. After that, we went to read the will. My mother gave me everything, but since I'm sixteen, I have to live with Felix before claiming anything. It was then that the real Felix came out. Now he gets every night, comes home and starts beating me. Believe me, I have tried running away, but he always finds me. I can never get far enough because I can't drive and he knows every place I go to. And the funniest thing is that he would beat me for the simplest things, like: if I didn't clean the kitchen or if I started to sing. I love to sing, it's the only thing that keeps me going, but he hates it. Says I'll never be good enough to do anything in life. I sigh to myself and look out the window, wishing to be free to do anything I want to. I don't even have friends; he won't allow me because he says that I'll probably run to them and get him arrested. I can't even go to the police because he is friends with the Chief, Charlie Sawn.
I move to get my guitar and start strumming my favorite song.
I remember tears streaming down your face Just close your eyes Don't you dare look out your window darling Just close your eyes Just close your eyes
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound
"Danica, open the god damn door now or I will break it down!" Felix yells while banging as hard as he possibly can. I slowly stand up and unlock the door. He grabs me by the wrist painfully, "Why isn't the kitchen cleaned. I do so much for you and you can't even do that?"
"I was going to do it soon." He lets go of my wrist and grabs my ponytail. "I was going to do it soon my ass. Go clean it now or you will regret it." He drags me from my room to the kitchen, throws me at the sink. "I'm going to watch the game, don't disturb me." He starts to walk out to the living room, but then he turns around and smiles and me sickly, "And try to run away and see what happens." I nod and start cleaning the dishes. An hour later I'm done cleaning I'm about to walk to my room before I notice something, he left the car key and the house key out in the open, which is odd since he always has it on him so that I can't run away. I could try to runaway, but I'm afraid of what he might do. Screw it; I'm going to get out of here. I sneakily take both keys and slide it in my pocket and go to my room. Once I'm in my room, I don't pack any clothes because it's just a waste of time. I all the money that I have stolen from him, in case I get an opportunity like this. I quietly lock me door, grab my guitar and climb out the window. I walk to the car and put my guitar in the back seat. I get into the car and turn it on. I know how to drive because before my mom died, she and Felix taught me. Biggest mistake he ever made. I reverse out the driveway before I hear a loud bang. I crouch down quickly before looking up and seeing Felix with a gun in his hand. "Get back in here now you little bitch." I shake my head and mouth 'go to hell'. I step on the gas and star speeding down the road. It will take a while for Felix to do anything, because I took the only key. I don't know where I'm going; I just need to get as far away from him as possible. I check the gas meter. Shit! The meter is on low. I stop the car as I see the woods coming up. I get out my guitar and strap it to my back and walk into the woods.
It feels like it has been an hour since I walked out the car and my feet are aching, my eyelids feel heavy and I feel cold. I am only wearing a thin green jersey, a sweat pants and my old black converse. My body feels too weak to walk any more so I fall down on the ground. Even thought I'll probably die, this is still better than living with Felix. Before my eyelids go fully down, I see the sight of a beautiful man. He has russet skin with onyx eyes and has the best figure I have ever seen. I smile to myself, the pain is finally over.
