Dear Jon,
     I'm sorry if this letter doesn't look very decent I'm writing it while crying.  My dad got so drunk today that he didn't remember who I was and kicked me out of the house.  Most likely he'll be back to normal tomorrow but it still feels wrong to be kicked out of the house. 
     Out of everything my dad has done to me he has never kicked me out.  Where I'm going to stay tonight? Will he'll be better tomorrow?  I just don't know the answers to those questions and it scares me.  I don't want to be left out on the street. 
     There are so many bad people out here.  Some of the people from school that bully me found me and beat me up.  I hated being that position not being able stop anything they did to me.  I was so scared that they would kill me or something.  All they did was just beat me up and that made calm down a bit. 
     But I was still stuck out of my house for the night.  I even tried to sneak back in the house but my dad locked the doors.  I don't even know where to stay for the night.  It's also starting to get dark and I don't know what to do. 
     Wait a car is pulling up to the bench I'm sitting on.  It's Luke!  I'll ask him if I can stay the night with him.  He said yes!  I'm so relieved, I'll write to you later.
                                                   Your Friend,
                                              Bryce Mcquaid
