Chapter 1: It All Falls Down

Tears welled in my eyes. I ran to my room and grabbed a backpack and a duffel bag. I dump all my school supplies out since I won't be needing them anymore. I angrily stuff clothes, toiletries, and what little money I have into my backpack. How could I have been so stupid? Stupid stupid stupid stupid! I should have known this would happen... Look at me now. I grab a blanket, pillow, and any food I can find in my room. I look around one more time, at the place that was my home and my prison all at once. I wipe the tears from my eyes and leave my room. I make eye contact with my mom. I hope it's the last time I ever have to see her. My dad is standing off to the side. He looks angry and disappointed all at once. I look away and open the door, it's all too much to handle.
