AN: Sorry, I thought the last chapter wasn't good, so I'm rewriting the chapter. Sorry if you really liked the last chapter, but I wasn't really feeling like I've accomplished anything.

So here is the re-make.

I unlocked the door as quietly as I could. The door slowly opened with a loud squeek. I shut the door. I turned around and there he was, my dad.

"Where have you been?!"

"Dad! I-I can explain!"

"No! You can't! You can't explain!"

He screamed louder than I have ever heard him scream. My shoulders stiffened.

He slapped me.

I fell down hard on the floor. That's when my brother ran into the room.

"Kyle, GO!" I screamed.

He didn't move. He was 6, but smart for his age. But if I were him, I would be running out of that room as fast as I could.

"GO!" My father screamed, and he ran out of the room, fast. Fast.

My father hit me again. I screamed.

He hit me harder, I screamed louder.

He picked me up and pushed me against the wall.

"You're the reason my life is a living hell!"

He squeezed my arms, and I whined. I could smell the alcohol in his breath. He's been drinking.

"You're the reason!" He screamed again.

He through me back down on the floor, and I ran down the hall, to Kyle's and my room. Yes, we share a room. I shut the door, and locked it too, so he couldn't get in.

I grabbed a suitcase and started packing Kyle's and my stuff.

"Gwen! What's going on? Your bleeding!" Kyle said.

My dad was screaming and banging on the door. That made me and Kyle shake.

After I was done packing our supplies, I grabbed Kyle's hand and led him to the window.

"Were going to Kelly's house."

He liked Kelly. Kelly was a 29-year-old lady who still acts like she is a 15-year old. She lives by herself, and me and Kyle usually sleep-over there. She's the only person that I always go to for help, and tonight we need some help.

I picked Kyle up and opened the window to climb out. I threw my bag out, and then got out myself.

I ran as fast as I could down the street, trying not to drop Kyle on the way. After 20 minutes of running and walking, we reached Kelly's house.

I walked up to the front door, and knocked.

"Who the heck is bugging me at midnight!"

She opened the door, and smiled as she saw me. I smiled back.

"Gwen! Wait-Gwen? What are you doing here? And why are you bleeding?"

"Can we stay over here for a couple of days? We have no where else to stay." I said.

She smiled.

"Gwen, you should know by now, that you can stay over here anytime."

I walked in, and placed Kyle on the couch. He was already asleep.

"Thank you." I said. She got me a pillow and a blanket and layed them out on the chair. I got into my PJ's and hopped on the chair. She cleaned up the blood off my face.

"Night Gwen. I'll drive you to school tomorrow."

"Ok." That was all I could say, before I fell asleep.

AN: I thought it was better. R&R so I could see what you think. (;
