"You won't catch me" I said running away from the blond boy while chuckling

"Are you sure about that" said the blond boy before picking me up from the waist and spinning me around. He placed a small kiss on my lips bringing me back down to the ground.

"I love you" I said kissing the boy once again

"I love you more princess"

For a while we just stood there admiring each others presence it felt like a fairytale, but as you know all fairytales must come to an end eventually, and so did mine.

I always found it peculiar how one moment you could go from being truly and utterly happy to the next being in pain and misery.

"Leilah!" My father yelled in a stern voice making shivers run down my spine. I was terrified.

I quickly turned around to face my father curtsying while saying "Yes father" in the most polite wait possible not wanting to make him angrier than he already was.

My father snatched my arm pulling me away from the blond boy, Harry was his name.

"What do you think your doing whoring around when you should be doing something productive" said my father tightening his grip on my arm.

"Excuse me sir we were simply talking, I was accompanying her back home, making sure she got there safely" said Harry attempting to make things better when in fact he was making them worse.

My father turned to look Harry in the eyes before saying "I think you should head back home now boy it's getting late".

As Harry was about to say something else I stopped him turning to him pleadingly saying "goodnight Harry". He didn't want to leave but he could tell he had to or things would get far more worse for me. With a frown on his face he said "goodnight Leilah". Forcing himself to walk away.

As soon as Harry was out of sight my father dragged me into the house by my hair. My brothers rushed toward the door when they heard me begging my father to let me go.

"Father please let Leilah go" said my brother Stefan concern written all over his face.

"It's fine Stefan" I said to my caring brother knowing that if he said something else that would only make father angrier and he'd end up hurting him too.

"Take me instead" said Damon not wanting to see his baby sister suffer.

"Enough both of you!" father yelled making us all flinch.

I looked my brothers in the eye in an attempt to tell them I'd be fine. As my father dragged me away to the cellar, all my brothers could do was stare.

When we got into the room father threw me in the floor slapping me "You will not whore around with anyone", "You are an embarrassment to this family", my father kept saying while slapping me over and over again.

I gained my balance and stood up wanting to cry and yell but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of doing so.

"Stop!" I yelled at my father only making him angrier.

"I am your father and you will respect me!"

"How dare you call yourself a father when all you ever do is hurt your children and treat them like crap, you are no father to me!" I spat in Giuseppe's face my tone laced with disgust.
