chapter 2

Huan

I was sitting in my room in fear waiting for my evil parents to come home, I know that my mum had told my dad about what happened although I was nearly raped by one of her cheating partners she would not care but worry about the money. There was a loud bang in the living room in which can only mean that they here. I slowly crept to hide under my bed. Because every time they come home drunk they come into my room I get beat up until I pass out. But this time I was more scared because of what happened with Li Wei, thought of him run a disgusted shiver down my spine I hope the police will do something about this man.

He should rot in prison "You stupid slut where are you bitch come out now" my dad said while stomping in the stairs I knew there was no way he will believe me in this situation "She probably hiding after being a slut " my mum said while laughing and you could hear the disgust from her. She has been unfaithful to my dad sleeping with many men and yet I have never told my dad even if I did I would have been beaten for saying that. But when I reject her lover she get mad because of loss of her money and my dad doesn't know that but all he knows is drinking and that he daughter has been bringing men in his house instead of making money for him "she will see if she will sleep well in this house after the humiliation she has cause our neighbourhood in this near " my mum said as if it was my fault, where we live is quite like a town so when something happens a lot of people can gossips about it so that what she is worry about instead of my safety " Huh now I won't even be able to sleep on my bed after sleeping in the hospital bed for days, great just great" I complained because I could get beat up at night while sleeping which could happen since my parent did not care about anything but a man with me. I said in whisper getting frustrated and angry at my parent.

Because if I don't hide they will find me and it will be even worse than the situation I am in. after about 30 minutes of them being in my room and not finding me since they decided to leave since I was not found there has been a hole behind my wardrobe that I found about a year and has been used to hide whenever they will try to beat me, it leads to a secret passage that leads to the garden no one has discovered that entrance except for me but everything from the house can be heard from there. Sometimes I decide to stay there to avoid getting hurt, with my little blanket I cover my cold body and I should sleep here for the night till tomorrow as I decide to take a plane tomorrow to New York I have been planning this trip for quite a while after my graduation I decided to leave for school after what happened at school it was better to leave although the school was not over yet I couldn't keep up with what was happening there getting bullied at school and getting abused at home was depressing enough and I could not cope with it, maybe in a new city, I could try a change in my life and my lifestyle.

Today was school after the whole discussion with my mum yesterday I was quite anxious on what could happen because of her warning, Monday was like other day tiring although I was quite clever and an A's student I did not enjoy school at all this was another day that I try to be invisible at all. I normally eat my lunch in the east library in there no one ever come anyway because it has a more old fashioned book, in classes at prefer to seat at the back to be invisible but It seems my maths teacher does not think so. He is my least favourite teacher I feel quite uncomfortable staying in his class and Monday is when I had him.

After a long day in school, it was my last period, and I had to attend it I wish he was ill so we had another teacher but it seems like my payer were not answered as I enter our classroom he was there at his desk looking at me entering. I normally wear baggy clothes since I am quite insecure of my body, I don't know what he looks for by looking at me up and down, the look he gives me disgust me I knew he was a pervert since he has always check student bodies out before, especially Cheng Xi who is the school slut. After taking my seat I put out my books and the class had started, "what is X * Y" Mr Wáng asks the class and I decided to work it out in my book instead of saying it out loud while someone else in the class answer it but wrong " what do you think Alex" he said while looking at me. Whereas the whole class where finding who was Alex by looking around the room "it XY" I said in a low voice he nods the continued his lesson, there was one question that I did not understand in his lesson yet I did not want to ask him but to do it I had to ask him about it so I decide to do it after everyone was gone.

When the bell rang at 3:00 everyone was ready to start leaving already and I decide to ask him about it "Mr Wáng can you explain me question 10 which is Evaluate c-2c−2c, minus, 2 when c=7c=7c, equals, 7." I ask him and he came too seat next to me I was a bit nervous but I let the thought of him being next to me go as he was explaining he began to touch my leg and that made me extra uncomfortable by his touch I decided to move but he holds it firm in my leg " Erm Mr Wáng can you remove your hand in my leg please" I said feeling a bit nervous after that what he said made me shock " what are you worry about after all I did that to most of the girls in this class" after he said that he started to move till my arm that when I started to panic and decided to stand up and leave and started to run out of school this was not the first time he did it a girl got suspended for telling the headteacher that she was touch by Mr Wáng before yet the said she was lying and she never came back to school and I had no one to talk to about that.

Flash back-ended....

by hearing my parents leaving the house, I started to pack up my clothes. I worked extra hours just to get money and I always save it so one day I could live a happy life, now not having my parent at home today gave me the courage of running away, I been having the idea of being free since I was 17 years old because I have saved up for my life, I want to be free to persuade my dream. I could travel to New York or the world because staying in California will tie me up with a memory that I want to forget, I stand up from my bed and go to my wardrobe to obtain anything important for this trip and a shower in which is needed

After hours of travelling I was Now on the plane, going to start a new beginning far from my family, my depression, my worries of school teacher touching me and no one saying anything about it to start something new, sleep soon overtake me as the plane started to take off.
