Getting Through Ch.1

On a scale of 1-10 my life is a 7. Okay only on my best days which only happens one time a year. But that's fine with me because I'm used to crying every single day as soon as I get home from school. My school life is awesome though. I mean I only have a few close friends and my grades are up to parr but thats not the problem. Its that.. well.. all of my friends either has a boyfriend or had one before so they know what it feels like to be cuddled or kissed or having sweet whispers flowing in their ears when having a bad day and I have bad days every single day but I dont show it at school. I dont like people worrying about my problems. I mean they have better lives to worry about anyways.

My name is Lacy and I'm 17. I live in Florida and I have 1 older sister Hannah and I live with both of my parents. I wish they were all dead though. They didnt do any good for me but put moisture in my face. Im mixed with French and Black (Mom black dad French) people say I dont look anything like my family. I believe that because I have dark grey eyes and no one else in my family does. They all have brown and blue eyes. I have black long wavy hair and I-

"LACY! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE" my dads voice boomed from up stairs. Of course I didnt do anything because I just got home so why would he be mad? I tensed up got off of my bed and slowly walked down to the floor where my dad called me from.

"Yes Brian?" Then he slapped me across the face. Note that he has his rings on which was the first but this wasn't my first slap from him no.

I put my hand to my cheeck and felt liqued running off of the new scratch. Usually it was just a welt but it wasnt this time. You could probably see it really good from not a far distance because I have a light skin complexion.

"I told you to call me dad or father or daddy but no you want to get smart!" he looked down at me.
"Sorry father" having venom come out of my mouth when I said father. "What do you need?"

"You know what FORGET IT!" he said pushing me out of the way. I ran up to my bathroom and checked myself out. I gasped. It wasnt a lot of blood but you could tell it was a lot of damage on my face. I cant believe this man. How could he. I ran to my room and went straight to my closet. I opened it to find my yellow bookbag by my pink closet lamp. I sighed.

This wasn't the first time I've ran away and it sure wasn't going to be the last. I only had pjs and a whole outfit in there because i was only leaving for a night. I go to my best friend in the whole entire world Dinky.

Dinky has beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes. She moved here from Texas at 3 after her dad died. Her idol is Taylor Swift and she has had the same boyfriend since 5th grade Brad. I envied her for that but Im really happy for them.

She never told me what her real name was since we were 4 but I love the name anyway. She only live 2 houses down from me, so I go there practically every day. Me and her did our first everything together. We went out of town for first time when we were 5, (Of course with her mom) We went to our first dance together, we even got our first Juicy Couture item together. Without her I would not live. We went through everything together. I was with her when her and Brad got in a huge fight and she was with me the first time Brian slapped me. But we got through it.

I went to my bag and picked it up carrying it on my right shoulder. I got my cell out and called Dinky. After the first ring she answered.

"One of those nights?" she asked sad but happy that Im coming over.
"Yup. Just get the ice ready please." I said
"You go it. Ill even throw in a chick flick."
"Oh I'm there all the way!" I said getting happy.
"Bye love, see you in.... a minute" I knew she was smiling.
"Bye love" I laughed then hung up.
Chick flicks always cured my problems.

Sense its Sunday, I knew my parents would care if I went somewhere so I had to do my usual escape plan.
I opened my door and yelled "Goodnight!" I listened to hear any voices then smiled. If its dead silent after that then im in good hands. I closed the door and locked it then went to open my window. Oh great. I forgot it was raining. I put on my rain boats and put my hood over my head. I climbed out of the window only leaving a crack open. I jump to the ground and made a run for it. It was so dark I couldent see anything then i ran into a very frim chest.
"What the hell!? Watch where your going!" I knew that voice. Jake.

We were best friends also at 4. Actually it was all 3 of us. Me, Dinky, and Jake. We met at pre-school when me and Dinky were playing on the swings then I bumped into him when my swing was going back. I didnt even notice him there but he got really mad and said mean things to me. The next day at snack time he ate all of his animal crackers but was still hungry so little ole me gave them to him. And thats how we eneded up being friends. I regret that now. I remember the night before 8th grade year all of us were on my trampoline and I told Dinky I was going to admit it that night and she gave me full on support. I told him then he was very quiet then left without saying anything. I slept over her house that night and bawled my eyes out. We havent talked ever since. Unless you count him making fun of me.

"I'm sorry I-I.." I stuttered

"Well watch where your going next time! Then this wouldn't have happened!" he shouted at me. I sure do miss the old him.

I just pushed him to the side and ran to Dinkys house.

I opened her door with my key that she gave me and walked in. I took off my rainboats and slid to the living room to find candy everywhere. Dinky is the best.

"LACY KELLLLLLLLLEYYYY!!" She shouted getting up from the couch.
"DINKKKKYYYYY KELLLLLLLLLLEYYYY!!!" I shouted running over to hug her.

Another reason why were probably so close because of the littlest things we had in common.

We pulled back then she gasped.
"LACY!! OH MY LORD! Are you okay!?" she shouted.
"Is my home?!" I called her my mom because she actually acts like my mom.
"No honey no. She has a date." she says winking at me.
I laughed.
"On serious note. We need to get you that ice. I also have the makeup that we will be using for the morning." she said
"If you can get up at 5 sure!" I said laughing.
"Oh shucks!! You act like I've never done it before!" she said
I gave her the you-know-you-haven't look.
"Okay only on vacations but whatever!" she said laughing.

We ended up watching Twilight (Dinkys fav) and stayed up until 12.
