The bench she sat on was cold and wet. Rain was pouring from the black star-
less sky. As she rubbed her arms for warmth, she felt black mascara run
down her face. She wiped it, rubbing it into her skin.
"Why did this have to happen tonight?" Ellie Nash asked herself.
She watched a care go speeding by. Knowing it was her mom fleeing from their hell hole of a house. Tonight was the night the phone call came. The phone call saying the peacekeeping mission her father was on had turned into war. Ellie's mom being drunk was not reacting to the news like Ellie thought she should. When she confronted her, let's just say things got out of hand. And now Ellie didn't know where she was going, she just knew she was gone.
Ellie stood up off the bench. She needed to escape; there was no way she could go home just in case her mom returned. Rain and mud splattered onto her combat boots as she walked in between the street and side walk.
Ellie stood in front of a greed painted door, it suddenly opened.
"Ellie Hun. What are you doing here?" Paige asked leaning up against the door.
"I can not believe I am doing this, but Ashley is in Montreal. And I um need to escape from my house."
"So you came here?" Paige asked in disbelief.
"Like I said Ash is out of town I just needed to get out. But this was obviously a mistake." Ellie replied turning around.
"No Ellie wait!" Paige called, " We'll go and talk at the Dot."
"No it's fine you'll probably just tell Ms. Sauve."
"Do you want to know why I told Ms. Sauve? Because last year she was my life saver."
"What do you mean?" Ellie asked turning half way back around to look at Paige.
"I was raped okay Ellie. And at first I was afraid to talk to any one. That's why I know how important it is to talk to someone."
"And you think what I am going through is any thing close to what you went through. Paige you have no idea what it's like!"
"Ellie you will never know the pain. Okay so your Dad is on a peace keeping mission, so what?"
"So my dad is gone, my mom drinks, and that peace keeping mission is now war!"
"That's why you need to talk to someone."
"I will talk to some one, when I feel like it. And it doesn't give you the right to do it for me!"
"I was doing what I thought was right!" Paige yelled.
But it was too late Ellie was already half way down the street.
"Shit." Ellie said as she approached her house, her mom's car was in the driveway.
The rain started to pour even harder as she walked to Marco's.
"Ellie was are you doing out here?" Marco asked when he answered the door.
"I had to get away."
"Come in, get out of the rain."
As she entered Marco asked, "What's going on."
"It's not a peace keeping mission any more."
"You mean your Dad?"
"Yea it turned into war and my mom doesn't even care."
