he ripped the shirt from my back. i don't resist knowing that it would be 100 times worse. he beat me with the belt. i cant take 4 more years of this. if i do anything rong he would beat me. first it was mom then tobias and now me. i'm 12. my brother promised he would always be there for me. but the first chance he got he transferred to dauntless. finally my dad stops beating me and closes my door. i have a plan. if i could make it anywhere then i would be safe. any other faction. candor erudite dauntless or amity. just not abnegation. that's where i am now. my window is above the door. that means he will see me if i try to sneak out. maybe i can outrun him. i mean I've never tried. i go out the window. and jumped. as i thought he saw me. he comes after me. i take off running. candor that's where i'll head. i run into some one while i ran through the factionless. i ignore them or try to. the person grabbed my arm. i try to pull away look up and i see my brother. he takes one look at me and shoves me behind him. he knew that i would leave eventually. he saw our father. "give me back my daughter." said dad. "look its getting late. you'll never get back to abnegation before dark. stay with dauntless tonight." said tobias."OK" "lavender can stay with me and my friends. you could share a apartment with marea." "ok."i silently thank tobias.
Later four, tris, marea, uriah, marlene, and lynn. play truth or dare. i go to sleep. i wake up at 1:19 am screaming. marlene and uriah were trying to calm me down. four comes in and saw marlene and uriah. "leave her". he said. he eventually calmed me down. uriah comes back in and goes back to sleep. i finally go to sleep. four shakes me awake."it's time." he said. i forgot. "com on." there was dread on his face. i can't go 's 7:00 am.
it's finally time to leave. we walk to max's office."we're here to discus the runaway." said max."there is nothing to discuss. we stayed here and now it's time for us to leave. come lavender."said father. "no" i say i can't go back. "what?" my father said clearly confused. i had never refused anything he told me. my ticket to freedom is right in front of me. i just have to fight back. "no. i would rather live factionless then return with you." i look at four and see a look of approval on his face. "lavender. why?" it was max. i can finally expose him. after being quite for so long. i look a four. he nods his head." max you wanted to know why i don't want to go home."max nods."he abused me, four, and our mother." i say. "i would never. she just doesn't want to leave her new friends."dad defended his self."do you have any prof?" asked max. i look at four. he nods. "yes" i say. i lift the back of my shirt revealing the cuts and scars."i warned you that if you ever told anyone then you would be punished." said dad. max looks at him in astonishment. "we can't send her home. so Marcus you can leave." he does. "four will you and tris take care of her?" asked max. four nods
back at the apartment we are attacked by questions. "can she stay?" asked every one."shut up" i yell. four looks at me in surprise. he nods."yes i'm staying". everyone was over joyed."where will she stay?" asked marlene. "with me and tris". four answered for me.
