Chapter Nine
“Oh, I headed up to South Dakota. My boyfriend is in the army so I’m visiting my parents for a while. What’s your name, honey?” Kerry seemed like a very friendly person.
“I’m Auden. What’s yours?”
“I’m Kerry. So, you look a little young to be traveling by yourself. What are you doing in Chicago?”
“I’m, uh, going to visit a friend of mine.” Drew immediately popped into my head.
“That’s good. I’m happy to be talking to someone who is energetic. I’m getting quite lonely without my boyfriend...” she trailed off, looking down.
“I’m sure your boyfriend misses you a lot. You seem like a very nice person.”
“Why thank you, Auden. I really appreciate it.” She smiled.
“No problem.”
We talked for a while longer, since it was a twenty hour trip, we both fell asleep around 10:00.
We woke up at 11:45 pm to stop at a rest station in Pennsylvania. I went inside of the gas station and got some Cheez-its and a water.
When I came back out, Kerry was already on the bus. I saw cop lights coming from behind the bus, and the cop car stopped next to the bus. I ducked down in my seat. Our new bus driver went out to talk to them.

Chapter Eight
Usually, my dad and Kendall are out to dinner for about two hours. They left at five, and it was six now. I had enough time to get out of here before they noticed. I went out my front door and looked back at my house. I would miss it, even though I knew the people inside of it wouldn’t miss me.
I love you mom, I thought while starting to walk down the road to the bus stop. It was starting to get dark, and the bus came right when it was getting cold.
I paid me fee and looked around for an empty seat. The bus was very packed with people, mostly adults coming from work I guessed, since some of them had on suits. I sat down next to a friendly looking woman who looked about twenty or so.
I looked at a map of where this bus would take me, and where I had to get off to catch another bus to get to where I wanted to go.
“Where are ya headin’ to, darlin’?” the woman next to me asked in a southern accent. She had blonde wavy hair with ice blue eyes.
I thought about it for a minute. “Chicago.” I said suddenly, making up my mind.

Chapter Seven
It’s been three weeks since graduation. Nothing got better. Everything got ten times worse. It was obvious that no one wanted me here, and the only one who would was Drew, who moved to Chicago.
It was a late Tuesday afternoon, and my dad and Kendall went out to eat like they always did on Tuesdays in the summer. They were repulsed by the idea of actually asking me to go. Right when they left, I went into the kitchen to go to where my dad keeps some extra money. I opened the cupboard and looked inside of the spaghetti box. There was about $1,000, so I took out $350.
In another cabinet, he had a new cell phone he was going to give for Kendall for her birthday. I took that and started it up.
Then, I went upstairs and grabbed two duffel bags. In one, I threw in all of my clothes, which was pants, shorts, bras, underwear, shirts, two jackets, undershirts, socks, sweatshirts, dresses, pajamas and everything else. I grabbed my running shoes and some high heels and put them in too. I changed into a Hollister sweatshirt and jeans and put on my Uggs. In my other one, I added anything else I might need: makeup, shampoo and conditioner, face washes, hair clips, brush, lotion, pads, toothbrush and toothpaste, tissues, laptop and charger, cell phone and charger, a blanket, books, a notebook, and pens and pencils. Finally, I grabbed my life saving which was $644 from babysitting and added the $350 I took from my dad. I put $100 in my wallet and put the rest in one of my socks. I was ready to get out of this hell hole.

Chapter Six
Four weeks later
By graduation, Drew and I have become good friends without my dad or sister noticing. But, things with them didn’t get better, only worse. Now my sister was starting to spread rumors around school saying that I would sleep with every guy and that they would pay me. My dad would still make nasty remarks and sometimes he would hit me.
It was at lunch the day before graduation. “Auden,” Drew said looking in my eyes. “Please tell me why every time I see you you have a different bruise.”
I thought about telling him before at different times, but I didn’t have the courage too. I decided that I should tell him now, and I worked up my courage.
“Every since I was thirteen my dad and my sister have been verbally abusing me and lately my dad has started to hit me!” I said really fast hoping he wouldn’t understand. There goes my courage.
“Oh my gosh, Auden, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He said as I started crying.
“I-I was scared,” I stammered as he pulled me in for a hug.
“Don’t be. So all those rumors going around about you are made by your sister?”
I nodded.
“How about we ditch school and drive around town?” He asked trying to make me feel better.
“Okay.”
We sneaked out of lunch then down the halls of La Salle where all different people gave me dirty looks. They probably heard the rumors. When we got to the parking lot, Drew found his green Jeep and I climbed in. It smelled like apples and cinnamon.
We drove around for about an hour till we decided to go to the Providence Place Mall.
We got smoothies and sat down. Then, we shopped around for about an hour or so.
It was 1:55 so he said he would drop me off at the school so I could walk home.
“I had a good time today. Thanks, it got my mind off things for a little while,” I said.
“No problem. I really hope I see you again someday Auden.”
We hugged and then he kissed me and I got butterflies in my stomach.
“Bye, cutie,” he said smiling while I blushed.
“Bye.”

Chapter Five
The school day dragged on, and it was finally lunch. I got myself a salad and found Drew.
After about ten minutes of just talking, I asked:“So, what do you want to do in Chicago?”
“Just get away. I hate it here, and I hate my family.”
Wow. I could relate to that.
I nodded and thought about things. Graduation was less than a month away, which meant Drew would be leaving in about a month.
“Why do you hate your family?” I suddenly asked.
“My mom thinks she owns the world. Likes she a queen and everyone else except for my step-dad is trash.”
“Oh. That stinks.” I looked down at my salad. The word queen kept ringing in my head. Then I remembered.
It was when my dad first started calling me names. I was thirteen. “Auden, stop acting like you’re the queen of the world. You are nothing compared to your sister”. Kendall smiled at him and gave me a dirty look. I remember had a lot of questions running through my head as I started to cry. Why was he saying these mean things to me? What did I do? Did I do something that made him mad? A couple days went on, and he acted fine again. Then, one day, when Kendall and I were fighting, Kendall got mad and threw a plate on the floor and blamed it on me. “Auden! Why are you trying to make your sisters’ and my life worse?!” “But Dad, I didn’t do it! I swear!” “Stop lying Auden, clean this up and go to your room!”
“Audennnn,” Drew was saying, trying to get my attention.
I jumped and looked at him, with tears in my eyes.
“Are you okay? You totally just zoned out..”
“Um, yeah. I’m fine.” I said, gathering myself together.

Chapter Four
The next morning I woke up at 6:00 am. I picked out an outfit, showered, and put on my makeup on. There was a medium sized bruise on my cheek from where my dad had hit me. I tried to cover it up with foundation, but there was still a little green-ish area showing. I sighed and went down stairs. I grabbed a granola bar and started to walk to school.
When I got inside the school, I heard someone calling my name. It was Drew.
“Hey, Auden,” he said smiling.
“Hi.”
“Oh my gosh, what happened to your cheek?”
My hand flew up to where my bruise was. “Oh, um, nothing, I, uh, fell…down my stairs..,” I responded nervously.
“And you landed on your face?” He asked, obviously not buying my story.
“Yeah…”
“Oh,okay. Well, I’ll sit with you at lunch?”
“Yeah. Bye.”
“Bye,” he said while waving.

Chapter Two (Part one)
“Heeeeeey Audennnn, gladdd to see you hereeee!” she slurred. I could tell she was drunk. I nodded and went inside and got a shot. Then a guy I recognized from school came up to me, Drew. He had tan skin, pearly white teeth, and dirty blonde hair. He was a senior.
“Hey, what’s your name?” Drew said.
“Auden,” I responded.
“Hey, I’m Drew. I think I’ve seen you around school before,” he responded with a smile. He was really cute..
“Yeah,” I said.
“So, do you live here?” He asked with a pearly white smile.
“Yeah, I’m a sophomore at La Salle.”
“That’s cool, I’m a senior. When I graduate from La Salle I’m moving to Chicago.”
“Awesome,” I was starting to feel a little tipsy.
Me and Drew were talking more and we kept having drinks, after that we danced together and were totally drunk. Then, out of a sudden he kissed me.
“Wannaaa go up stairssss?” He asked slurring.
“Yeaaahh!” I said, giggling like crazy.
When we found a room we sat on the bed. We started laughing and giggling. Then, he kissed me again, and that’s the last thing I remember before falling asleep.

Chapter Two (Part one)
“This one is for the boys with the boomer systems, top down ac with the coolest systems when he come in the clu-“ I clicked the alarm button on my iHome to shut Super Bass up.
Ugh, I thought, another day of hell. I climbed out of bed and took a hot shower. When I got out I brushed my wet hair and let it naturally dry straight while I put on eyeliner and mascara. I went through my closet and found a green shirt from Wet Seal that had the word ‘love’ on it in sequins and a pair of skinny jeans. I put on my brown Uggs and went downstairs to eat.
I saw my dad and my sister sitting at the table eating their breakfast. When they saw me come down, my sister gave me an ugly face and said: “Ew. Who could love and ugly b*tch like you? We don’t even love you.” My dad smiled at her.
I felt a lump in my throat as my eyes welled up. I had no one in my life, not even my own blood liked me. I ran out the door, and decided to walk to school today, since it was a couple of blocks away. When I got there, the bell already rang, and I was late to my first class. It’s not like anyone actually cared. Isabelle was in my history class, and we sat next to each other. Great.
When I walked into history, Mr. Morrinson gave me a late pass and told me to take my seat. Isabelle gave me a glare, and didn’t talk to me the whole class.
When it was lunch time, I didn’t get any food and sat by myself. A peppy cheerleader, Alison, came up to me.
“Hey..uh..,” she said trailing off forgetting my name.
“Auden,” I said, reminding her.
“Oh yeah! Well tonight my parents aren’t going to be home, so I’m having a party, and the whole sophomore grade is invited! It starts at 6, hope to see you there!” she said happily and she got up and trailed off.
I thought about not going, but I decided against it. My dad and my sister wouldn’t care where I was, so I had no one worrying about me. The rest of the day flew by, and after school I went to Dunkin’ Donuts and did my homework there. After that I walked home and it was 5:26 so I decided I would get ready.
When I walked up stairs my sister tripped me and I fell flat on my butt.
“Ha, that’s what you get for being so ugly,” she said as she twirled away in happiness.
I rolled my eyes and went to my room, and got dressed in a navy blue Hollister dress with silver bangles and white high heels. I put on more eyeliner and mascara, and applied liquid eyeliner to my top lid. By the time I was ready, it was 6:15 so I started to walk to Alison’s house, since she lived close to me.
By the time I was on her street, I could hear the music blaring. When I got to her house, I opened the door and I saw Alison walking up to me.
