Patricia POV
"Jean come find me!" I giggle, waiting for my big sister to find me.
I hear the front door slam shut. Oh no, daddy's home.
"Patricia, Piper, Jean get over here!" he shouts angrily.
"Yes, dad?" Jean says.
"Girls what did I ask you when I left this morning?"
"To clean the dishes, sweep the floor and cook dinner." She says.
" I don't see dinner! You know what happens when you three disrespect me!" He says about to slap my sister.
"Jean, no!" I scream.
"Patricia, little Patricia, are you trying to save your big sister?"
"Yes."
"Well, It's not gonna work."
He slaps my sister in the face then kicks her in the stomach. She falls to the floor.
"Jean!" Piper and I scream.
"Girls, don't worry, I'll be alright." she says.
3 hours later my big sister died. That night my life ended. My best friend was gone.
Present day:
"Patricia go get the damn mail!" my dad shouts.
"OK dad." I say.
I walk down to the mailbox. I open it and there it was. The key to my future. The letter read:

Dear Miss Williamson,
The Anubis academy of the arts was very pleased with your audition. Amazing! You have been accepted. Congratulations Patricia!"
- Dean Henry Martin.
I scream as loud as I can. I finally get to leave my father! Piper hot a scholarship for a school in Australia. Now,it's just me. I won't even tell him. I'll just get another beating. I don't want another one like last night's. He punched, kicked me, and slapped me. I still have cuts. I will just sneak out of the house really early. Like 5 a.m. On Saturdays, he sleeps until like noon. I'll book a flight now for tomorrow and pack tomorrow morning. I won't tell anyone where I'm going. New life, here I come!
