Jessica POV :||

Sun poured in from Marcia's guest bedroom. I rubbed my eyes, and groggily got out of bed. I don't want to get up.

If I said that back home, mom and dad would of slaughtered me.

"Marcia?" I asked into the what seemed empty parlor. "Hmm?" came her voice. "Um, I just thought of this, put all I have is that gown from last night..."

She threw a dress at me. And it was a pretty dress. It was blue, about knee length. Very plain, but, still very pretty. "I love this! It's pretty!" I say.

"Have you never seen a dress like that before? I have way more..." Marcia starts. "I get hand-me-downs from cousins or my mother, I never get nice clothes. So, shopping sounds fun for once."

Oh! I had the best day ever! Marcia was very nice, and allowed me to buy three sun dresses, five jeans, six shirts, two pairs of shoes, but I was mostly excited for the converse.

After the shopping, we went to a burger shop and had lunch! Then, we went to a record store and bought a Beatles record, which, believe me, was hard to find.

When we got home, we fixed dinner, and went to sleep.

But I was up wondering.

I had tears streaming down my face, thinking of my parents who forever haunt and hurt me. Will I ever escape them?

I don't know.
