Day after day Amber and Zurth would hit me, punch, verbally abuse me and many other things. In the middle of one beating they grabbed a knife and they chased me around with it, while laughing their heads off. They threw it at me a few times and once it barely got my finger. I ran up to my room and grabbed my bag then I ran out the front door. They were still chasing me.
"HELP!" I screamed once Zurth had me in his arms holding me on the ground while Amber ran up to me with the knife.
"STOP!" I herd feet running to me. It was Ramsey and Jonah coming to me, more like running. Ramsey pushed Zurth off and got Amber away from me. Jonah ran to me while Ramsey scolded Amber and Zurth.
"I brought you a wet towel." I didn't notice that they cut me on my forehead. Jonah chuckled.
"Your lucky" He told me
"How?" I asked
"Ramsey saved you. When I was being beaten, he didn't even think about rescuing me."
"Really?"
"mhm"
"your right. He's not your dad?"
"Not really. He just took me in"
"But you treat him like a dad."
"Sure. I have a chance to run right now."
"What?"
"He's using me to make money. I've always tried to run away but I was never successful."
"Why don't you run?"
"Your hurt, Capri"
"So, forget about me". He looked around then back at me
"Come on, lets go inside" He lead me into the Funeral Home. We sat in the living room for about 5 min., everything was quite until Ramsey walked in.
"Do you have your bag?" He asked me
"Ya"
"Good go put it in..." He paused
"Jamie's room" He said
"I'm moving in?"
"Ya, I don't want you over there anymore."
"really?"
"Ya but I'm not going to take you in as my child, you do know that, right?"
"I don't mind"
"good, you can live here for... how old are you?"
"14, I'm about to turn 15"
"You can stay here until your 18, but if you wanna move out early then you can"
"Really?"
"Yes" he said. I couldn't help but smile. Wow, say good-bye to a good life.
