she was literally wasting her time trying to get in here knowing she couldnโ€™t. After my hour soak my skin had returned to its usual color and majority of the scars were invisible. I decided to sponge my body down with some peroxide and put Neosporin and Band-Aids on majority of the visible scars you could almost see. My outfit for the day consisted on a pair of boot cut blue jeans and a thermal baby phat long sleeve shirt. All of which Ms. Ruthie the nice old lady I called grandma next door would get her grandson to jump across the fence and bring every morning to my window. After getting dressed and brushing my hair into the perfect ponytail I continued to get settled and dressed for the day. After hearing the front door slam twice and looking out of the small basement window to see if the car was pulling out and waiting for them both to drive off. I moved the Chester and headed next door to Ms. Ruthieโ€™s for some real breakfast before school. I walked outside and the cold Ohio air hit me like nothing I grabbed my coat and proceeded out the door. I cross the yard and entered Ms. Ruthieโ€™s yard through the small gate. โ€œGrandma Katelyn is here.โ€ Joey yelled. I opened the door and followed the smell of homemade butter biscuits. โ€œGood morning family.โ€ I said kissing Ms. Ruthie on the cheek and sitting down in my usual seat. โ€œGood Morning my Katelyn.โ€ Ms. Ruthie said running her hand over the Band-Aid I had on my face. I watched as she shook her head and quickly turned away. โ€œKatelyn, Why do you have a Band-Aid on your face?โ€ Samuel Ms. Ruthieโ€™s youngest grandson asked me. I looked at Ms. Ruthie who was busy fixing plates and humming. โ€œItโ€™s a new fashion statement Sammie.โ€ I said blowing off his question. Ms. Ruthie Placed our breakfast in front of us and took her seat. I looked at her, joey, and Samuel and wished my family at home was more like theirs. Samuel said prayer and we ate our breakfast in peace. Afterwards we all headed out the door for our usual day of school.

Chapter 4



At school it really didnโ€™t seem as if everything got better. I had to deal with kids picking and pointing at my scars. On top of that I got jumped and the money I had taken this morning to get something to eat for later was now gone so I would not be eating anything tonight. I decided that maybe she was right about this school thing what was the use itโ€™s not like I was learning anything. By my third class I was tired of the constant stares and snickers from my classmates so I decided to get up and leave I raised my hand for the bathroom pass. โ€œYes Ms. Marshall what is it this time?โ€ Mr. Barkley asked. โ€œCan I get the restroom pass?โ€ I asked giving him just as much attitude as he gave me. I watched as he slowly walked towards his desk and took his time searching for the pass. By now I was irritated and decided to say to hell with it and walked out the class without it. I listened as the sound of Mr. Barkley yelling my name became a whisper in my ear. I stepped out into a world of dark clouds and large water puddles. I stood there in the exit of the school and looked at the scenery. I decided to head towards my neighborhood where I lived with him and her. The closer I got the more my pain and hurt came back to my body. When I reached the house my heart sanked down into my shoes both cars were in the driveway. I slowly walked up to the house and put my hand on the door knob. I stood there for what may have been forever I could hear the screams, the words, the glass shattering, and the punches of him hitting her. I stood there shaking as if it was zero below freezing. The warmness of the tears sliding down face, I turned to walk away but ended up walking into someoneโ€™s chest. Whoever I was they took me in their arms and held me there. I looked up to see my grandma smiling down at me. A sense of relief swept over me as se stroked my hair and began humming my favorite song. โ€œWhy are you not at school young lady?โ€ she asked me. I sat down on the steps and put my head down in my hands. โ€œMama says school is for dummies and that itโ€™s a waste of time and I am never going to get anywhere with it.โ€ I said catching tears in my hand. I watched as my grandmaโ€™s face went from caring and loving to hurt and anger. โ€œLisa! LISA!..โ€ I listened to my grandma yell for her as she walked upstairs. I sat at the bottom of the steps and continued to hold my face in my hands. โ€œMa what the hell do you want?โ€ she said coming out her room. I turned around to look at her and she cut me a look that made my heart jump into my throat. I decided to walk pass her and go to my room. I left the door cracked so that I could hear my grandma chew her out. I watched as my granny came towards me and pushed my door open. โ€œCome on Katelyn lets go.โ€ She said. I looked at her with a confused look on my face, and watched as she put all my clothes and belonging in a big trash bag. โ€œCome on Katelyn lets go we going home.โ€ She said grabbing my hands. At that very moment words couldnโ€™t describe how I felt. Was it true? Was I really leaving the hell hole I was forced to call home? I turned around and seen him standing there beside her. The look on their faces wasnโ€™t what really scared me the most it was knowing that if something went wrong with grandma I would be coming back. Once outside I hugged and kissed Ms. Ruthie and the boys. She winked at me I knew she had called granny and told her what had went on the other day. I made sure to hug her extra tight and tell her thank you as my tears fell as Granny and I

left walking hand in hand.
