Disclaimer: on- the- first- page

Kimiko looked at her bed, her bag over-flowing with stuff. She couldn't sit down. She felt so sad, as if she were not worthy or something. She began to root through her bag, checking that she had everything, food, clothes, blankets, sleeping bag, pillow and money. She had everything. She couldn't believe she had resorted to this, oh well it would be better than living with her 'father'. She looked at the burn on her wrist. It was red and sore. She looked at her calendar, 5 days until Christmas. Oh well, it wasn't as if she was going to have a GREAT Christmas was she?

Kimiko sat on her bed for a while thinking about what she was about to do… she knew she had no choice. Living on the streets wasn't so bad, was it? Kimiko thought of how her life was finally getting better, she was now climbing down the hill. Kimiko didn't know how wrong she was.

She hated having to abandon her mother and leave her to deal with Brian, but, she had to , this is not how her life was supposed to be!!!!

Kimiko went downstairs, carrying her suitcase and her guitar. Brian was at the table drinking his tea and reading the news paper, like any normal dad but greeted her like she was in jail.

"what do you want?" he grunted, still reading the newspaper.

"none of your business" she said walking towards the door. At this Brian looked up at her, and saw the suitcase.

"where are YOU going?" he asked putting down his tea and staring into her.

"none of your business" she said, smirking a little. Brain stood up and walked towards her.

"I asked you a question missy now answer me" he shouted, Kimiko stood in front of him knowing what would happen next if she didn't tell him, she braced herself.

"none of your bus-" but Kimiko was stopped by what she had expected, Brian's hand. This didn't surprise Kimiko but it still hurt.

"TELL ME" Brian shouted

"umm… how about no" she said, Kimiko made a break for the door but Brian grabbed her wrist and hit her again, Kimiko tried to pull away but didn't stand a chance against Brian. He began to twist her wrist again.

"TELL ME!" he shouted, twisting Kimiko's wrist harder.

"No, I would rather die" she screamed back, tears were filling her eyes, tears of pain and anger. She glared at him. "Let me go" Kimiko finally said, not being able to stand the pain.

"I'll break your arm first" Brian spat at her. He twisted her arm further and further until Kimiko couldn't stand anymore. Kimiko thought quickly, but she couldn't think with the pain so she did the first thing that came to her head.

"OW" Brian shouted and let go of Kimiko. He crouched on the floor in agony holding his groin (seeing as that was where Kimiko had kicked him)

"That'll teach you" she said, Brian looked at her, Kimiko flicked her hair and ran out the front door.

Kimiko didn't know what to do, getting out of the house was step 1, step 2 was finding where to stay, until she had enough money to find an apartment, she wandered through town looking for places to stay. It took her a while but she finally found a spot, underneath a shelter. There was no one else there so Kimiko set out her stuff and sat down on the cold hard floor…
