8 Run

Stepping out of the shower I dried my hair and wrapped myself in a robe. Standing at my door entrance stood my mother. Looking at her she shook her head in shame and left. 'Why is she not with father?' Grabbing boys pants and shirt, I walked back into the bathroom. Changing I tied my hair to the back and put on a cap. Running out of my room I ran and hid when I saw someone. 'Sneak sneak... I have to be sneaky.'

Still unsupported I left home and finally started my small journeys to town. 'Why are you going to town? What are you doing? I'm a narcissist, aren't I? The simple answer I am working a job of delivering papers. My siblings know that so they cover for me everyone else they have no idea.' Entering town, I started to run at a small building that looks like the size of a barn behind it is a factory. "Boss I'm here. " Opening the door my boss saw me unsurprised by the way I entered. Looking at the time my boss handed me a small bag full of newspapers. "Your late Julian, I'll let it slide for now, but next time be mindful of the time." "Yes, sir." Grabbing the bag, I ran out of the building grabbing a small list of names along the way.

'Okay, so I have to visit Carter's, BoBo... lol that name gets me all the time." Walking along i started to head to the carter's home they are the nearest to the newspaper factory. 'Okay, who else besides BoBo, Hmm. There is Jewels, Tic, Dagin, and Lt. alright.' Flipping over the sheet numbers were listed next to the initials. Throwing the needed amount of papers on the porch I ran to the next homes repeating the process. The day was almost over when *Splat* "Ha Ha look at him he is so poor he has to work at such a young age. He looks so we I can break him like a toothpick." 'So they threw a rotten tomato at me.' heading back to the shop boss saw my condition. "What the hell who did this to you?" "Boss is that all for delivery today?" "Yes, now answer me." "Nobody important just some kids doing a harmless prank." Leaving the bag, I grabbed the amount that I get paid and left.

Running home I snuck in and instantly stopped in my tracks. 'Mother?!' Looking right at me my evil mother grabbed my arm and slapped me with a full-on slap. "I knew you were doing something you weren't supposed to you piece of trash." Hitting me again her voice started to get louder, and tears began to fall off my cheeks."Do you think THAT I AM AN IDIOT?!!" because of her vice grip on my arms I ain't go flying nor could I fight back and escape. "You piece of shit should be grateful not berating us by dressing like a boy and disappearing for hours on end. No girl shall be working in this house, but the maids and wet nurses!" One after another I kept getting hit until bruises formed on my face and blood was visibly covering her hands. 'It hurts so bad.' At that moment I wanted death. Like that she left me being unable to see properly wobbled to the bathroom not wanting to be seen. 'I'm pretty sure everyone heard.' Turning on the water, I stepped into the shower after putting down my hair and removing my clothes. As soon as I walked into the shower, I cried out of grief for myself.
