I take a last look at my room. Nothing is going to stop me. After what Jeb does to me, I can't take it anymore!Why does my life have to be so screwed up? Jeb my own dad abused me and then i have my ex-boyfriend Dylan that started to abuse me too? What have I ever done to deserve this. I wish I was with Mom. I only have a few faint memories of her when I was a child and a picture of us that i always carry in my pocket. Then I also have my twin brother. I dont even remember his name but i know that we were a lot alike. When Mom and Jeb, i dont even call him dad anymore, got divorced everything started to fall apart. When she left I was 6 years old and was so confused. She took my twin brother with her and left me with Jeb. After she left Jeb started coming home late and drunk but he wouldn't abuse me yet. Though, when i turned about 12 he became alcoholic and that's when he started to abuse me badly. But I have had enough of it!Anyway I double check I have everything I really need. The only thing that I will leave behind is the bracelet that Jeb gave me when I was a small child, when he was the loving caring dad that he used to be- when he loved me. When he used to love me. Though, ever since he became alcoholic he just stopped caring.

I zip my backpack closed and take my long board and open my window just to be hit by a nice summer night breeze. I take one last look at the horrible life I had lived. Then I hop down from my two stories bedroom as silent as a mouse and as swiftly as a cat. Never giving my decision a second thought.

I glance at my watch and see that it is two thirty in the morning and my bus arrives at three. I have to hurry up the bus stop is about a twenty minute walk. I hurriedly get on my long bourd and skate away. Leaving my past and used to be- loved ones behind. I don't have a second thought about this, not a second thought at all.

He abused me. They abused me. My own dad, Jeb and my ex Dylan. Jeb came home one day drunk and started letting out all his anger on me. That's when the child abuse started. He was taking drugs and drinking every night. Then on the other hand there was Dylan, a straight out Monster. We were dating for about two months. When he first asked me out he was so kind, sweet, respectful. But that is all a damn lie. That what he wants everyone to think but then after a while his true self comes out , his hideous monster self shows itself to you. He then started abusing me and becoming over protective and jealous. He only abused me when we were alone- when no one was there to see his true self except me. Though one day I just had enough and broke up with him. He was suck a monster.

I get to the bus stop with a spare five minutes. For the next remaining five minutes I sit there and wait thinking of what exactly could lay ahead of me. Ready for the journey I have to take, the right path.

When the bus arrives I hop in. I go ahead and take a seat all the way in the back. I take a deep breath and I stare off into space and I think more about the path that awaits ahead of me. What will it be like? Will I enjoy it there? Where do I go after Summer camp ends? Ugh. All these questions and yet no answers. Life is complicated.

Soon I can see the sun starting to rise and the bus is coming to a stop. I take a breath this is my stop. This is the start of a new chapter in my life. A life where I make the decisions and I rule. A life where I will not stand to be controlled and be a weak helpless soul. This is my life and this time im calling the shots and ruling this lifetime.

I get out of the bus and I look around for a near store. I see a near by department store and head inside. I go straight to the bathroom. When I get there I start my make over. I dont want to ever come face to face again with Dylan or Jeb but if worst come to worst they wont recognize me cuz i am wearing a whole new look. I change my clothes and I dye my hair the color strawberry blonde. My hair was originally a light brown with some dirty blonde highlights. Now I was fully strawberry blonde.

When I am done I look at my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing white shorts with a yellow flannel tucked in with a brown belt and black vans and black and white raybann glasses. I nod in approval. I grab my grey Jansport backpack and long board and walk out of the store. Heading to summer camp.

I walked out of that store with a whole new look and personality. I used to be a weak, wimpy nerd who couldn't stand up for herself but now i am a tough, fierce girl that wont stand there a be bullied. This is the new me... I am now Maximum Ride.
