"Ama! Get over here!" Laura, my step mom, shouted. I was hiding in the closet, in fear of getting caught. Earlier today, I had broken a glass pot of jam, and had cleaned it up, but Laura spotted the missing item. "NOW!!! IF YOU ARE NOT HERE IN THREE SECONDS, NO DINNER TONIGHT!" I still stayed in my closet. Mom would never had allowed such treatment toward her only daughter. I still don't understand why my dad had to marry HER. Of all the people he could have chosen, it had to be her. "NO DINNER! AND NO LUNCH! OR BREAKFAST TOMORROW!" I didn't really care. I had my secret Halloween candy stash. And a lock door. Well, it didn't hold long, but my step mom was too dumb to realize that, of course. She only saw it when her stupid daughter, Emma, my step sister, showed her. Emma was an annoying nine year old girl, and had been going through her "OMG! PINK!" phase for the past two years. At dinner tonight, I was still hiding in the closet. Afterward, my dad came, most likely to yell at me. Well, he did, but I didn't really care. He used to be a loving, caring father, but ever since mommy's death and his remarriage, he was much meaner. Come to think about it, I had never had a single moment of happiness with him around since Laura and Emma moved in. After a few hours of laying in bed with my eyes wide open, I decided I could not sleep tonight. I went down to the kitchen, at leftover chicken, and then went back to bed, not wanting to get caught. That's when I realized it. A life with no freedom is like worst then death. I had to end this life style, I knew that, but how? I thought for a few minutes, than decided I only really had two options. Die or escape.
