So this is the beginning of a story of mine...mind you it sucks because it is the first story I've done in first person...I'm working on it so don't berate me just yet XD.
With hot tears running down my face, I shoved the last few items of clothing into the suitcase and zipped it shut.
“Allison! Ge-et out here you la-azy b***h!”
Ignoring my father’s slurred words, I grabbed my piggy bank and broke it on the side of my dresser. Coins and dollar bills spilled everywhere. I quickly picked up and put all of the coins into a sandwich bag, and then put the dollar bills into my purse. I had allways kept only the small money in the pig, in case my father felt like having some pocket change. There was no way I was going to put the big bills in there. He was constanly coming and emptying it out.
Trying to block out the burning pain on my back I rummaged through my closet. Pain shot up my back when I bent down, but I clenched my teeth and bore it. The places where my father whipped me with his belt still burned on my back, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I reached up and grabbed an old shoe box that was on the top shelf in my closet. That was where I kept the big bills.
I had been waiting for this day for a long time. A chance to take my two younger siblings, and leave. I had dropped out of high school to work a full time job. Being sixteen when she started to look for a job was hard but, I found one soon enough and worked at the same place for two years. I opened the shoe box carelessly. Twenties, fifties and hundreds came spilling out. After two years of working, I had hardly spent anything. Lucky for me, my Father still thought I was in high school. So I planned my schedule accordingly and worked during school hours.
I took the money out of the box and put some of it in my wallet, some laying around in her purse, and the rest in a pocket in her suitcase. I had saved up for a long time to leave, and I finally felt like I had enough. Although I didn’t quite know how much I had, I knew it was at least more than five grand. I looked around the room one last time. I wasn’t going to miss it, not one bit.
It was time to go. Willy, my younger brother, and Maddy, my younger sister, were supposed to already be in the car waiting for me. They have been out there for at least an hour, but I’ve had trouble getting away. I grabbed my suitcase and my purse and I opened the window. My room was on the first floor, so it wasn’t to hard to get out. Once outside, I made my way through the darkness and opened the trunk of my dad’s car. I sighed with relief when I saw two smaller suitcases already in there. I quietly opened the drivers door and hopped in.
"It's now or never." My hands were shaky, so I had trouble even getting the key into the ignition.
"Don't worry Ally...we'll protect you." I had to smile when I heard Maddy's soft voice. Maddy had allways thought that she was protecting her when dad beat her instead of me. He's just a drunk a*****e.
