The night was shadowed by the moon as I walked down the street. With a swollen cherry face I head back to the hell from hence I came. I'm a 15 year old girl with black hair that reaches my back. I have icy blue eyes that get duller each day. My life is what you would call... well not perfect.. Don't get me wrong.. I have an amazing mother and amazing friends. The problem lies with "daddy dearest" Mike... Well it started after the good times...

peachy skin. Tears of happiness fall as the couple makes there "I dos" beside the colorful glossy windows of the church. "This is the best day in my life", both thought in unison.

That is when life fell into the shadowed darkness called home.

"So much has happened since then!" Lizzy sobbed.

I watches in horror as Mike knocked Mother to the cold, hard ground.9

"You think you can do whatever you want bitch?! I am in control! You obey me. I can kill your fucking ass if I wanted to!" he screamed.

"Stop!", sobs Lizzy.

Mike slowly walked towards me. Soon I could smell the beer on his breath. There he stared into my soul for several moments. I lay there frozen and scared.
14
Then suddenly, I feel a hard hit on my head. My world slowly fades into darkness.
15
I wake up in my average size bedroom. As I get out of bed I rub my head, remembering everything that happened the night before. As i get closer to the mirror bruises slowly appear to my swollen eyes.
16
Then I remembered mom! I ran downstairs to find her beaten body making coffee. Slowly a storm started to form over my face.
17
Out of no where I ran as fast as lighting to my neighborhood park, the place where I think... There I sat on the red swings for hours contemplating what to do. How to save me and mom from this horror. After, I started to head back.
18
Now I am here, heading back to hell, I have no clue what I'm going to do when I get there. I walk slowly towards the white house in misery.Closer and closer I get to the doors with uncertainty in my mind.
19
"Oh honey I'm so sorry!" Mom says as she runs our the door, red faced, swollen. She wraps her warm secure arms around me. Then again out of nowhere we both run to the car.
20
We get in the car and head to the police station where we would be safe. There we report everything and show evidence. It took hours but soon I finally got to see the man I hated in hand cuffs. I then again cry in tears but for the first time in a long while, tears of happiness.
