~*~ To Escape the Past ~*~



Britney sat alone in her room. She know deep within her heart what was going to happen tonight. It happened every night. It was like a routine for her. 1.Her father came home drunk, as usual. 2.He slamed her door open. 3. He raped her. It happened every night. She knew that the day was coming when she was going to leave, to get out of this place. She was 20 years old already, but her father held her in the house like she was a twelve year old. One day next week, she and her best friend Sylvia were going to run away, join the navy and be navy nurses. She couldn't wait for that day. Suddenly her thoughts were disturbed when her dad slammed her door open and pinned her down on the bed. She screamed.

"Dad, get off me, your hurting me!" she yelled.

"Shut up!" he screamed back. He slapped her across the face. Then, all of a sudden, he hit her upside the head with something hard. She was knocked out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



It was the day Britney was leaving. She had her bag full of everything she owned. Then there came a knock on her window. She turned around quickly.

"Are you ready to get out of here?" Sylvia asked her.

"Yeah, I hope I got everything." She said as she climbed out the window, hoping she could have a brighter future and forget the past.

That's it for chapter 1!!! I hope you like it!!! Oh, in case you wanted to know, I'm deleting my old story: The harder way around, cause I don't want to get banned. Please r&r!!!
