Oh honey - I feel for you. In addition to some of the other answers, also try your local women's shelter (I know you're a male, but they also take minors). Remember, in any offical shelter like that, I believe that you have 23 1/2 hours before they need to do any offical paperwork. So, that's at least some time to sort things out in your own mind before doing anything. (This info is circa 1990, so I may be wrong)
Honey, whatever happens, don't let yourself wind up on the street. There's no sense in it these days. There are too many places and options to explore before winding up on your own in a dangerous situation. Even if you can 'handle' a dangerous situation or even if you can't, you shouldn't *have* to deal with them. If someone can't give you a good answer, or gives you a 'threatening' answer (not in a physical way, but in a 'you'll REALLY be sorry if you do this' kind of crap answer) go above their heads.
You have the right to not live in fear or in pain - please seek help honey, it's there for you.

My family lives in Illinois, nowhere to run away too. Get to South Florida. Call the cops first.

Go to any church or police/fire department- they will lead you to a safe place.
