Save me (on hold)

Chapter 3

Ok so here's the next chapter. Please read and review and tell me what you think of the story so far. Ok so enjoy! 😊

As soon as I shut the door I'm confronted by my dad. He pushes me into the door and knocks me to the ground.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY?!" He yells While slurring his words. He kicks me in the stomach. I gasp in pain as I look up at him.
'Oh great he's been drinking all day' I think as I stand up while grimacing at the pain.
"I've Been at school all day" I say as I pick up my bag and look at him. All of a sudden I'm looking at the wall and the left side of my face hurts like hell. I can taste blood in my mouth. I gingerly cup the left side of my face as I bring my eyes back to my father who is now walking back to the living room.
" next time walk home faster" he slurs drunkenly as he sits down in his recliner. I walk upstairs and go into my room and set my bag down on my bed and head into my bathroom. I look at my face in the mirror and I groan at what I see. My entire left cheek has an angry red handprint on it. I spit the blood out of my mouth and into the sink and then rinse my mouth out. I gingerly feel the inside of my mouth with my tongue and I can feel two gashes on the inside of my cheek.
'Oh great. This is going to be annoying until it heals. Hopefully I don't get a bruise on my cheek. Although knowing my luck that's exactly what's going to happen.' I think as I go back into my room and try to get some of my homework done before I make dinner. My dad is so lazy he won't even cook for himself. So I wind up cooking every meal.
As I'm finishing up my math homework. I look up at the clock by my bed and see that it's 5:15pm.
'I should go get dinner started before I get hit again' I think as I stand up from my desk and head downstairs. When I reach the bottom step though, I see my dad leaving.
'Where is he going?' I think as I watch him head for the door. Then I hear a honk outside. He looks back at me as he opens the door.
'Im going out to dinner with a friend from work. Don't screw anything up while I'm gone, you hear me young lady?" He says as he looks at me.
"Yes sir" I say as I look at the floor.
After that he leaves. When I'm sure he's gone I walk into the kitchen and look through the fridge for something to eat. I settle on leftover fettuccine alfredo.
After I'm done eating I head back upstairs and into my room. I grab my pjs and walk into my bathroom and shut the door, locking it behind me. I turn on the shower and wait for the water to heat up. As I wait I open up the cupboard under the sink. I look through the bottles of cleaning supplies and shampoo until I find what I'm looking for. I pick up a pack of razors. I open up the pack and take one out, then I put the pack back in the cupboard and shut the door.
When I'm sure that the waters warm enough I undress and step into the shower and shut the door, bringing the razor in with me. I hum to myself as I wash my hair and then move to my body, making sure to be careful with the left side of my face. When I'm sure that I'm all clean I turn up the heat of the water and sit down on the tile floor with the water hitting my back. I then begin to shave my legs. I keep humming as I shave.
Soon I'm done with my left leg and I move onto my right leg. I'm about halfway done when I nick myself with the razor. I inhale sharply at the stinging sensation. I look at where I nicked myself and I see a small amount of blood beginning to trickle down the side of my leg. I'm about to wipe the blood away, but my hand stops halfway to my leg and I can't help but stare at the blood running down my leg.
'What if... What if I- no i will not do that!' I shake my head at such thoughts of self harm. I wipe the blood off my leg and finish shaving.
When I'm done I rinse my legs off and turn off the water. I open up the door and grab my towel and dry off. I wrap the towel around head and get out of the shower. I make sure my leg stopped bleeding before I put on my pjs. After I'm dressed I take my towel off my head and towel dry my hair.
I sigh as I go back into my room and plop down on my bed. I pick up my iPod and go on youtube. I watch Angel Beats (it's an anime show) for a couple of hours before I get up to brush my teeth. After I'm done I shut my door and turn off my light and crawl into bed. I turn on my alarm for the next morning and fall asleep dreaming about an anime boy getting launched into the ceiling from his chair in class.
