Love At Last

Fresh Start

TW:ABUSE⚠️⚠️

Tomorrow was your first day at your new school and you were a nervous wreck. You had recently moved towns because your dad had lost his job due to an incident at his old work place he refuses to talk about. After he lost his job he couldn't afford our old house anymore and you had to move into a smaller house in a new town with him and your little sister, Rosy.
Things weren't the same ever since your mom left, oh how you missed her. She had caught your dad cheating on her with our old neighbor and left him, she never came back. Every day you wished she had brought you and little Rosy with her. You hated your new house and you hated your dad. Even more than you hated him you feared him. He's always been a drinker and would get angry and throw things when he was drunk but ever since your mom left the anger inside him grew. Even when he wasn't drunk (which wasn't often) you'd find him lashing out on you for little things or he'd come home from work after a bad day and hurt you, sometimes he'd even hurt Rosy but you were usually there to take the beating for her. It's been almost 3 years since your mother left and you've had no contact since, you adapted to being a mother figure to Rosy although you usually took care of her anyway. Even though you wished your mom had taken you and Rosy with her when she left, she wasn't the best mother. She blamed you for your dads drinking and would always say how if you weren't there he'd be happier, they'd all be happier. She was never cruel to Rosy though. She favored her over you which even though it hurt you, you were glad she wouldn't hurt Rosy. She was actually an ok mom to her.
You sat in your small bedroom sprawled out on your bed deep in thought. What if the kids at my new school hate me. You thought to yourself. You weren't all that popular at your old school. The kids picked on you a lot because you were a little chubby and your family wasn't the richest. There usually wasn't any physical bullying besides this one girl, Amanda. She really had it out for you even though you've never done anything to her. You barely even spoke to her. To be honest you didn't do much speaking to anyone at your old school. You were a very quiet kid, which is another reason people liked to pick on you. You quickly snap out of your trance when you hear your door burst open. You quickly turn around and you see your dad standing in the doorway. The smell of beer and cigarettes flood into the room with him. Oh god, he's been drinking. You think to yourself. You try not to look scared because you know it only motivated him. "H-Hey dad." you manage to say half smiling but you knew he could tell you were scared. "What's the matter chubs, don't look so scared." He sneered. You hated when he called you that. You don't respond, you look down holding back tears. "You answer me when I ask you something." He snaps at you. You're trembling. As you look up you feel his rough hand strike your face. "You useless bitch!" He spat at you. You crawl to the corner of you bed and put your knees up to your chest while covering your head. You feel the hot tears streaming down your cheeks. You hear his loud footsteps further approaching you. You shake viciously as he gets closer. You don't want to look up as you feared was going to happen next. He picks you up and slams you against the wall. You see him raise his hand to hit you. You flinch squeezing your eyes shut waiting for him to smack you again, but he doesn't. He drops you on the floor and looks down at you laughing. "Such a pussy." He laughs under his breath and spits on you. You're shaking just waiting for him to leave. You close your eyes again praying he'll just leave and be done with you. You hear his footsteps start to walk away, then they suddenly stop. He turns around and kicks you in the gut before finally leaving. You curl into a ball on the ground sobbing. Your crying interrupted by the thought that popped into your head. Rosy! You thought to yourself as you pulled yourself together and ran to her room. You're relieved to see she's still sleeping, untouched. You kiss her on her forehead and whisper to her , "I love you so much" , tears still running down your cheeks. You don't want to leave alone her too long so you quickly go to your room and gather everything you need for your first day at your new high school. You choose your outfit as well picking out a pair of black jeans, a grey hoodie and your dirty white high top converse. You fold everything neatly and place them  on your bed for tomorrow. Then you go to Rosy's room to pick out something for her to wear tomorrow as well, as it would be her very first day of kindergarten. You look through her closet and choose a pink shirt with glittery hearts on it along with some black leggings and white sketchers. You make sure her bag is all packed and ready then you set your alarm and set your phone in her side table. You slowly slip into Rosy' s bed careful not to wake your sleeping sister. She snuggles into you and you caress her head as you drift off to sleep.
