"You stupid b*tch. I should have sent you to live with your dad a long time ago. All you do is cause problems and get in the way." My step dad sneers in my face. I see him lift his hand, I close my eyes waiting for the sting. His fist connects with my jaw and I get knocked back into the wall. He walked up to me and kicked me a couple time then punched me in the stomach. "Get out of my sight you worthless piece of sh*t." He says and walks away. I grab my phone and car keys and run to the door. "Hey little b*tch! Where do you think your going?" My step-dad yells. "I'm getting away from you!" I yell back and get in my car. As I pull away from the house I watch him run out the door trying to catch me. While driving down the road I call the police. "This is 911, what is your emergency?" The operator says calmly. "My step-dad beat me and has done it before. I am driving to a friends house right now. I'm scared he is gonna come after me." I say franticly. "Calm down mam. Come to the station and explain you situation and we will help you." She said in a soothing voice. "Ok." I reply while taking a deep breath. "For you safety and the safety of others on the road I am going to ask you to hang up your phone. Ok?" "Ok" with that she hung up the phone.

I walk into the police station and go up to an officer there. "Hello sir, can you help me please?" I say a bit franticly. "Yes I can. What happened to you?" He responded and took me to an office so we could talk. "M-my step-dad b-beat me." I said through my tears. "How long has this been going on hun?" He questioned me. "A few years. My mom wont do anything to stop him. He scares me and I'm afraid he might do something even worse." I say. "Tell me the whole story of what happened today." He demanded. "I went to work early this morning after doing all my chores. And when I got back home my mom was at work but he was still home. When I got inside he started yelling at me so I ran to my room and locked the door. He kicked the door down then came into my room. He started yelling at me saying "You stupid b*tch. I should have sent you to live with your dad a long time ago. All you do is cause problems and get in the way." And then hit hit me,kicked me then hit me again, then he said "Get out of my sight you worthless piece of sh*t." I don't know what provoked him to do it today I did everything he wanted me to do. After he called me a piece of sh*t I grabbed my phone and keys and ran out the door and came here after calling 911." I explain to him.
"What is your address miss? I'm gonna send a couple officers to go arrest him." The officer said. "My address is 157 silver peak road" I told him making sure to speak clearly. "Thank you. What is your name little lady?" He asked me. "My name is Hope Anne Kerr. I am 17 years old." I tell him. "Well Hope, you are not gonna have to see your step-dad ever again. Do you have any family that you could love with other than your mom?" He inquired. "I have my dad who lives in Missouri that I could live with." I respond. "Ok then, Hope I will arrange for you to live with him. That is until you are 18 and want to live on your own. You are a brave girl and I am glad you came to us to get help." He said while smiling at me. Thats when I noticed how young he looked and how attractive he is. "How old are you? You seem young to be a police officer." I ask him. He chuckles "Ya I am younger than most but I graduated high school a year early then finished college this past school year. Then got a job here. I am 21 years old almost 22." He told me. "Oh thats cool. Ive always wanted to go into law enforcement." I say randomly. He chuckles. "Well if you ever have any questions about it just ask me." I smile in reply. "Wait how could I ask you if you live here, and I end up living in Missouri?" I ask. "Well the I guess i'm gonna have to give you my phone number so you could call or text me whenever you want to." He says while winking at me. "This is so wrong." I think to myself. We trade numbers then I call my dad to see if I can live with him and to tell him whats been going on. He tells me he is gonna drive out here and help me pack, and move to missouri to live with him. "This is gonna be the start of an adventure" I sarcastically think to myself.
Present time
"Hope you need to get home right now. Tomorrow we are touring your new school and we are getting to see their new disiplinary system they have." My dad tells me over the phone. "I'll be home in ten minutes." I reply. 'Great tomorow will be fun' I think to myself. I had just got settled down in the town my dad lives in and I start school in a couple days. School had already started by the time I had gotten fully moved here and my dad was letting me settle in before making me go. When I arived at my "new home" I went strait to bed without speaking to my dad.
Hey y'all so this is a preview to my new story I am thinking about writing. What do y'all think about it? If I was to continue writing this story would you read it? I just want to try writing something worth while and not just another romance or werewolf type of story.
This story "Freedom" involves rebellion, a little romance and gaining your freedom. Hope is just you average girl who has a bad past but chose to forget it. When she goes to live with her dad in Missouri, she encounters some trouble at her school that doesn't effect just her school but the whole nation. Along the way she has a few run ins with romance, but she is to focussed on gaining her and everyone else's freedom to be absorbed in it.
