782 Words
I heard it before I saw it. My face slowly turned to face the beaming light heading towards me fast. My eyes widened and I couldn't move. I was like a deer in headlights. everything went in slow-motion, the people inside were shouting while I was stood in shock, I could do nothing but watch. I felt the hit in my stomach first then my head smashed on the floor, oozing blood.
The darkness started closing in on me ready to take everything away and honestly I would let it. This wasn't the light I was trying to reach...

I woke up, breathing heavily. Lilly was still lying next to me and that re-assured me.
"Only a dream" I whispered to myself, careful not to wake Lilly.
I decided to get up and take a shower, the warm water hit me like a release. I loved showers, they provided a way for me to think deeply and start the day with all my thoughts sorted. While I was washing my hair I zoned out... Today's the day I would leave, I don't know whether or not I was ready but it didn't matter. Mary and John wouldn't let me stay either way. I know I'll miss Lilly but maybe it's for the best. A new start is what I need. Maybe it was the way I would finally start to forget...
My attention came back to reality and I stepped out, the water falling down my sides down to the floor, creating a puddle in which I stood. I put some clothes on and straightened my hair, I had to look good and prestigious considering I was going to a private boarding school.
Once I was ready I tip-toed out of my room and went downstairs to eat some breakfast. Like always I always had to eat the leftovers, but I didn't mind... Any type of food makes me happy. Food is bae for sure.
Once I had eaten I looked at the clock and decided it was around about the time that I had to leave. I went upstairs, kissed a beautiful, sleeping Lilly goodbye and wrote her a note saying that I'll miss her and to always eat her vegetables.
ready to finally be able to leave this hell hole, only to enter a new one.
I grabbed my suitcase and walked down the stairs, out the door. There was a driver waiting for me with a black car and the boot open to put my suitcase in. Of course they weren't going to drop me, they'd be too busy to care for the likes of me...
I took a deep breath and told myself it was okay. It was actually better, I wouldn't have to worry that much about keeping my back straight and not looking out the window because it was 'improper', I could enjoy this ride and let myself go.
After, placing my suitcase in the boot the driver opened the door for me and I stepped inside. It was a nice car with leather seats and amazing air conditioning. The driver nodded at me through the rear view mirror in an attempt to signal that we were about to start. I just nodded back and put in my headphones, playing cotton candy sky's by esthie. highly recommend by the way if you enjoy soft types of music.
I let everything fade away and for once I felt like I was allowed to feel happy. I felt free in a way I hadn't ever before. It was as if no matter who tried to stop me and no matter what happened I was me and nothing could change that. I told myself that this was what I would try to be from now, I could finally imagine my future, not anybody else's, mine. It felt good. I felt good.
As I continued with this feeling, I felt my eyelids becoming heavy and I allowed myself to let them close... For once I wasn't scared...
