"Ugh. Nerds. An entire week of nothing but you, over-starched suits, and control-top pantyhose. I can't believe you got me into this. I knew I should have joined the yearbook committee but no, it was all 'oh don't worry girls love smart guys' and I was actually stupid enough to believe you. So now, I am stuck going to New York for an entire week, going to Broadway musicals and buying out the entire stock of I Love New York t-shirts while you shop your entire college fund away! Agh." Alice looked at me with that stupid 'I'm littler than you and I still got my way' look and smiled. "You know, I'm sure there's bound to be at least one girl there who doesn't wear knee-high socks over pantyhose. And face it; at this rate any girl is better than Tanya. Even Emmett hates her! Come on, pack your stuff we gotta leave soon!" And so with that, my little sister with more energy than the Energizer Bunny on Red Bull belted into another rousing chorus of the theme from New York, New York. I groaned and turned up my iPod, smiling when Clair de Lune came on, thankfully drowning out her voice. I could get through this. It was only for one week anyway, right?

Finally, an escape. The painful nights, stress-filled days, they were all about to end. I'm determined to do anything it takes to get out of this place. With the little ones finally gone somewhere hopefully better, I had nothing to worry about, except that by the time I got back Phil would have found out how to feed himself something other than liquor. It was almost over. By the time my wardrobe was packed, it would be time to go. A simple bus ride and retrieval of the money I had carefully invested and saved under my and Phil's name and I would be out of here for good. One call and Phil wouldn't be able to do anything to a child ever again. I was smart enough to get a scholarship after this, and everything would be behind me. Nobody would ever find out about my past, I was positive. If they did, it was a simple matter of getting away from them and erasing all memory. I had gotten good at that. First Charlie, then Renee, and then Jake. Life was cruel, but I was determined to fix that. I couldn't have bad luck for my entire life, right?
