"You're worthless and pathetic!" the raspy voice spat at me making me shrink where I stood, "You're a fat, ugly, piece of shit!" I felt a hot sting as the back of his hand met my cheek, fell back and let out soft sobs. He stood above me looking at me with his small black beady eyes full of hate and alcohol. His stained white wife beater had small holes from opening multiple beers on it and his smelly yellow khaki pants were dripping with piss. He grabbed a handful of my wavy dirty blonde hair and dragged me down the stairs violently; my back was met with hard concrete over and over till we made it to the bottom floor in the basement, he held me up to meet his face and a small smirk ran across his dry cracked lips. I sucked back a loogy and sent it flying into his eye, he punched me twice and shoved me to the floor, I felt light headed and dizzy I flopped my head over to see my father reached in his tool box and start to dig around. I mustered up the strength to start to crawl away but I didn't make it half way across the floor before I felt a hard object start to beat my leg, the pain shot up my leg making me scream at the top of my lungs.
I started to see darkness take over and I started to pray, I prayed to a woman who was a mother to me in the whole 10 years I was in forks. "Sarah" I gurgled, a soft memory of her and I on LaPush beach she was laughing, showing off her beauty in one movement, her russet skin lowed in the sun her onyx eyes and hair glistened I was also with my best friend Jacob black it played through my darkening mind repeatedly, "Sarah please help me, Please don't let me die like this" I said to her. As if on cue, I felt a warm ball in my stomach, the pain started to numb away, I knew this was my chance. I pushed up off the ground and lifted a swift kick to the side on my 'fathers' head and he plummeted down towards the hard ground with a smack. I ran up the basement stairs passed the living room which was occupied by my passed out mother who was sprawled out on the floor, I ran into my room and packed a big suitcase full of all my clothes, make-up, personal hygiene stuff etc. I flung on my tight leather jacket jacket and rushed into my parents room, looking around frantically I spotted my dad's wallet I pried it open and took out multiple $100 bills along with his almost maxed out credit card and stuffed them into my pocket, I picked up his truck keys and hung onto them as I carried my suitcase all the way to the vehicle. I threw my suite case in the back and hopped into the driver's seat. I started to drive to the airport when the pain started to come back I let out a sharp hiss as I was hurting everywhere "please, just a little longer Sarah.." I whispered.
I jolted up frantically from the soft seat I was sitting in, I looked around in a bit of a panic and saw where I was, I was on a plane, and I was on my way to my dear uncle Charlie. I rubbed my eyes and bit my lip as I looked out the plane window; I saw the sun starting to crack on the horizon, sending beautiful pinks and oranges through the sky. I smiled, I knew I had won this fight; I had finally won against my abusive parents. I started to get a little panicked, uncle Charlie had no idea I was coming to forks, my stomach flopped in my belly and I sucked in a breath and pulled out my phone and stared at the number, I let out the breath and forced myself to press dial. I hesitantly rose the phone to my ears, one ring…two rings..three rings..four rings..It felt a sting in my eyes as tears threatened to start, please answer! "h-hello?" I groggy deep voice asked "oh thank god, hello? Is this Charlie swan?" I asked fiddling with the hem of my shirt "yes it is (yawn) may I ask who is calling me at this time of night?" he asked irritated I took in a deep breath while trying to keep a low voice "I-its me..Lucy, your niece" I said anxiously, I noticed no other passengers have woken up yet and I silently thanked god "what in God's name are you calling me at this time of night for?" he asked even more irritated, I laughed silently knowing how much uncle Charlie loved to get a good night's sleep "well, I need you help uncle Charlie, I- something happened with my dad" I whispered stifling a cry back "wait, what? What happened luce?" he whispered probably trying not to wake Bella up "well-really bad stuff, I got away though, but I'm sort of, kind of on a plane to forks" I said bravely and help in a sharp breath not knowing what his reaction would be "Good, get your ass over here as fast as you can" he said, that did it the tears escaped and started to roll down my pale face, "thank you so much uncle Charlie" I sobbed out "now, now, you'll be alright, I'll be up waiting for ya, do you remember where the house is still?" he said in his macho sheriff voice "I remember" I said, I felt a warm tingle in my chest, knowing Sarah was with me.
It turns out Sarah could only do so much for me for so long, when the airplane unloaded my truck, I could barely walk, the passengers from the plane all looked at me like I was severely constipated but I paid them no attention. In no time I was almost in forks, I looked along the rising sun and the forests here never looked more beautiful. It was all forest, everywhere. The long arrow road starched out as far as I could see but I soon reached a sign that read "welcome to forks" I sighed with relief. I felt my eyelids start to droop dangerously low, I was exhausted but I forced myself to stay alert. I finally pulled up into the driveway looked over the cottage sized white house, it hasn't changed a bit. I stopped the car and opened the door, but before I could even take one step I dropped to the pavement while holding onto the car door handle, I pushed myself up so I was leaning on the truck door, I knew I wouldn't be able to make it by myself so I did the first thing that came across my mind. I slammed my hand down on the truck horn and not even ten seconds later did Charlie swan come bolting out of the house. Before I could even say one word I fell flat into my uncle's arms, I smiled slightly at him before drifting off into a dark abyss.
