7 The shift in violence

As a few years went on, and the circle of violence continued. Prince James found that he could do whatever he had pleased. Our father would praise and defended him no matter what he did. I really did mean, whatever he had pleased. That jerkwad cut off all my knee length hair, all while I was sleeping one night. Our father laughed, and said that, "he was such a silly boy, and that I looked better as a boy". Full of anger, I found my voice against him for the first time. Shaking I snapped and told my father I hated him. He just laughed, and got James a treat as if I said nothing at all. Deviated my sister took the hair buzzer and cleaned it up the rest of my hair with tears of rage in her eyes. We were prisoners.

Mother noticed all my hair was missing, and froze in place. As she was looking at me blankly, she almost spoke to me. She looked like she really wanted to say something to me badly. I glanced at the front door, and then back at her with out a word. She nodded at my slight gesture. Feeling nervous, I timidly walked outside. Lynn being extremely concerned about my safety, rushed out after us.

Mother began to try and half ass apologize for my existence, and her behavior for the last 8 years of my life. She kept telling me that I was simply a mistake, and shouldn't have been born. Lynn being Lynn, After watching me stare blankly at her, lost all composer. She began saying, "you used to be a better person than this, but really look at you now. Look in a mirror. You're nothing but a mom-ster! Poor Rose shouldn't have ever been abused by you or Louis. You tossed your children and baby aside and blamed everything on Rose. Hell, You had made James to justify your actions too Louis". She opened her eyes a little, as if Lynn struck a cord in her head. Puzzled she stepped back, and locked herself in her room. We hadn't seen her again for a few days.

After about a week, my father was out partying for a few days. Mother walked into the house and yelled, "PACK UP" at the top of her lungs. Stunned Lynn and Emmett gathered all our clothing and food. Lynn told me, "be a good little squirrel" which was code for quietly grab our money and stash it in the liner of your coat. Still shocked, I did as Lynn asked Swiftly while making sure no one had seen me rip up the corner of the carpet or opening the lining of my coat Lynn fixed. After opening it, I stuffed the coat and slipped it on. I grabbed our blankets and pillows before heading.

Terrified we all got into Mother's van. It was now filled with all our belongings, and what seemed to be new tents. Hours had passed by and Emmett was the first to say something. "What the hell is going on!", he yelled. After about a two minute pause, she responded with, "you were right Lynn. So we're running away". Emmett and Lynn looked at each other and yelled, "What about James, Louis still has him?!" She exclaimed, "If I took that little monster, Louis will kill us all if he found us"! Lynn started to shake. Emmett said, "Louis will kills us whether we had him or not if he found us". Mother said, "he shouldn't come after us, if I don't have James". It was probably true, so they had all agreed and just kept driving.
