"Hey mom I'm going out with some friends." said Kelly.

"Okay make sure your home at 9:00pm." Her mom said.

Kelly walked out the door. An hour after Kelly left her dad came home.

"Your home early." Said her mom.

"Yes I know I got fired." He said.

"Oh." She said.

"Get me a damn beer!" he demanded.

She went to the kitchen and got him a beer. She came back to the living room with a beer and handed it to him.

"I'm going out to get some fast food." She said grabbing her car keys.

"No I want a fucking TV dinner!" he yelled.

"Oh Okay." She said.

So she went to the kitchen to make him a TV dinner. While it was cooking he came in and got another beer. Once it was done she took it into him.

"Would you get me another beer!" he demanded.

So she went back into the kitchen and got him a beer and gave it to him. Then she went out the door. She got in the car to go eat at a fast food place with one of her friends. After she was done it was 8:00pm. So she went home. Once she walked in the door he started yelling.

"Where's all the damn beer!" he yelled.

"It's in the fridge." She said.

"It's all gone!" he yelled.

"I just bought a 12 pack yesterday and you drank 4 yesterday." She said.

"You calling me a damn liar?" he yelled throwing a chair in her direction.

"No." She said.

"Don't back talk to me!" he yelled while slapping her face and then she fell to the floor.

"I'm going to go get some more beer." He said going out the door.

She started to pick up the beer and the chair. Then she went to her room and pulled out a suitcase and started packing. Once she had all her stuff packed she took it out to her car. Then she went back in and took her saved up cash in the jar and put it in her pocket. Then Kelly walked in.

"Hey mom I'm home." Kelly said.

"Hey baby." She said.

Kelly went into the kitchen.

"Oh my god mom what happened to your face?" Kelly asked.

"I'll tell you in the car go pack." She said.

"Is he drunk again?" asked Kelly.

"I'm afraid so." She said.

Kelly ran to her room; her mom followed her.

"I'll help you, so we can get out of here faster." Her mom said pulling out on of Kelly's drawers.

"Okay, you put the clothes on my bed and I'll put them in my bag." Said Kelly.

Once they had everything her mom picked up Kelly's bag and took it to the car. While her mom was doing that Kelly grabbed her present from her boyfriend that she got that night off her dresser. She turned off the light and ran out to the running car. She got in and shut the door. Her mom pulled out of the driveway and started down the road. Kelly sat there looking at the gift her boyfriend gave her. Once they got on the highway Kelly decided to open the gift.

"What is that?" her mom asked while Kelly was opening it.

"It's something a friend gave me." Kelly said, she couldn't bare to tell her mom whom it really was from, because she knew that they had to get away from her father.

Her and her mom couldn't bare anymore beatings from him. Kelly opened it slowly. Once she got it opened and found out what it was she tired to hold back her tears, but she couldn't fight them so she let them out.

"It's going to be okay." Her mom said.

Kelly just kept crying ignoring her mother.

"Were going to make it Kelly." Her mom said.

"I hope." Kelly said.

Then they drove past a car accident.

"Oh my god, mom pull over!" Kelly screamed.

"Why?" asked her mom.

"Just do it!" she screamed.

Her mom pulled over, Kelly ran out of the car and into the rain.

"No, this can't happen!" she said to herself.

Kelly ran up to the flipped over car. Her mom looked on the dashboard. It was Kelly's present she was opening. Her mom picked it up and opened the case. It was a promise ring and on the ring it said Kelly and Brandon forever. Her mom got out of the car and ran to the flipped over car where Kelly was.

"Kelly!" she screamed while running over to Kelly.

Kelly looked at her with tears in her eyes. Her mom grabbed her and hugged her and whispered in her ear

"I'm so sorry I didn't know." Kelly hugged back.

"It's ok." She whispered back.

Kelly looked back to the totaled car.

"Mom help me save him." She said looking at her mom with tears in her eyes.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked.

"Go call 911 on your cell phone!" Kelly said panicking.

Her mom ran back to the car. Kelly looked back to the driver's side of the flipped over car.

"You're going to be okay." She said looking at him and starting to cry more.

He looked at her and said, "I love you."

"I love you too." She said. She looked at him and tried to smile for him.

"They are on their way!" her mom screamed while running back to them.

"Did you hear that they are coming." Said Kelly.

"Yea." he said with a little smile.

"How is he doing?" asked her mom.

"He'll be okay right?" she asked.

"Yea I think so... Ahh!" he screamed.

"What is it?" asked Kelly.

"My leg it's stuck and it hurts!" he screamed.

"Just hang in there." Her mom said while putting her hand on Kelly's shoulder.

He started to shut his eyes. Kelly grabbed his hand, "Please keep your eyes open!" she pleaded. He opened up his eyes and looked at her.

"You're an angel." He said.

She smiled at him and said, "Thank you."

"They are here!" her mom screamed.

The ambulance pulled up along with a cop car. The paramedics ran to the car.

"What is your name son?" asked a guy paramedic.

"Brandon." He replied.

"Well, I'm Jordan your paramedic." Jordan said.

Brandon looked at him. Her mom went to talk to the cops.

"Let's get you out of here." Jordan said.

Jordan opened the door and reached in and tried to get Brandon's leg out.

"Ahh...oww...!" screamed Brandon.

Kelly bent down and started to kiss him to forget about his pain. Jordan reached in and unbuckled him. The other paramedic pushed the stretcher closer. Jordan pulled him out and put him on the stretcher.

"Would you please get back?" said Jordan to Kelly.

Kelly stepped backwards a few feet and a cop wrapped a blanket around her. Finally the paramedics were ready to put him in the ambulance and take him to the hospital. Kelly and her mom got in their car and went to the hospital. Once they got there they went to the hospital waiting room. Kelly sat there crying while her mother rubbed her back. Then another group of paramedics came in with another patient.

"Oh my god!" her mother screamed and ran over to the patient. Kelly jumped up and followed her mother.

"Is he okay?" asked Kelly.

"We don't know if he will make it." Said a paramedic.

Kelly's mother looked at Kelly and her mother's eyes filled with tears.

"Mom come sit down." Kelly said.

Kelly took her mom to a chair. A couple minutes later a doctor came in the waiting room.

"I'm sorry he is dead." The doctor said. "No!" Kelly and her mom screamed at once.

"I'm so sorry." He said.

"Wait is my father dead or my boyfriend?" asked Kelly.

"Your father, her husband." He replied.

Kelly looked at her mom with tears in her eyes and hugged her. Finally she was able to see Brandon. She went in his room. He was asleep so she kissed him on the head and said, "I'll come see you tomorrow." And she walked out the door. Once she got back home with her mom, she went straight to her room and got on her PJ's and got into bed. She laid there looking at the ceiling thinking, "Could my life get any worst?" Then she cried herself to sleep. The next day she spent the whole day with Brandon happy that he was alive, her mom, and herself. She knew things had to get better and she would live everyday to the fullest cause you never know when it will be your turn to go.
