“OUCH, STOP PLEASE STOP!” was all someone on the outside could hear butfor me, I could hear the whispered “You little bitch I told you never to answer the phone”,then sickening smack of leather against flesh. I hate that sound and every other like itbecause it means the stinging pain is on the way only seconds after.***As that memory flitted through my head as my elbow length, platinum, blond,hair got caught on a branch, and that tug made me remember so many others that were just like that one with the awful pain of the belt buckle driving into my skin. I was stillhurting from my latest beating, or as my father used to call it
lessons
.
Yeah right lessonthis asshole
, I thought.I was still on a high of adrenaline from sneaking out with about 20,000 dollarsfrom the bank account that I so painstakingly kept secret from my father. Even if he didfind out about it I had a solid excuse about saving up for collage. I had been planningthis get away for about 4 years. Part of that planning was to get his ass as drunk as Icould even if it ended in a beating for some problem that he made up in his mind, and itdid that’s why I’m wasn’t running as fast as I could have been, anyway he sleeps likethe dead when he’s drunk so it’s worth the price. My freedom that is. At around 1:30AM Igot up and got the backpack in the back of my closet that I kept packed with cloths thatfit, money that I had earned even before the bank account just in case that didn’t workout. I snuck out the window because the door had a lock that opens from the outsideand only my dad has the key. I had tried that route a thousand times and there are nodogs or other animals that will bark or growl at me because that was the rich part of 
 
town. Oh yeah did I forget to mention that my dad is the owner of the local bank so wehad a lot of money, and that’s why it was so hard for me to keep my bank accountsecret. After I got to the trees behind my house I knew I was home free, all I had to do isget to the highway which was only about four miles and hitch a ride.It took me about twenty minutes to get to the read, because I knew this route byheart. Once I got there I started to walk in the opposite direction of the only life I hadever known. And I was glad that it is over.By morning I wasn’t even to the next town but there were more cars coming so Iwas still hopeful. I checked my watch and it was about six. Around a half hour pastbefore a car started to slow down and I was grateful because my legs were about togive out. I got in; luckily it was a girl from out of state so she didn’t recognize me.“So where you headed?” She said“How far are you going?’“Next state over. Why?”“Which one?”“Idaho”I thought about that for a moment “Okay that’s where I’m going”We rode in silence for about an hour in which I fell asleep until she startedtalking.“So why are you going to Idaho”
 
“Hmm “I said because I was still tired as all get out “Oh um a little soul searching”She seemed to accept the excuse and we lapsed back into silence. So naturally I fellback to sleep. I was nudged awake by a gentle hand.“Darling wake up, what’s wrong? Don’t cry.”“What, What” I reached up to touch my face and found that it was wet “Oh sorry Ididn’t realize that I was crying.”“Was it a bad dream?”“Um yeah that’s must have been it, but I can’t remember anything about it.” Wellthat was a complete and total lie. I can always remember every one of the dreams that Igot beat in and this was one of them.“Oh well do you need to go to the bathroom where almost at the state limits”“Really how long was I asleep?”“You slept for about two hours” she replied “so do you need to go to the bathroom“Yeah” I answered “and I fell asleep to fast to introduce myself my name is-“ Istopped trying to think or a different name other than mine “um Jane.” Lame name firstthing that came to my mind. My real name is Kalli Theerbrook. “Jane Austen. What’syours?”“Jennifer. It’s nice to meet you Jane.” She said as she took the turn of the restarea to our right.
