The Sadistic Father

Chapter 4

I didn’t know what else to do. I couldn’t get it off my mind. I couldn’t sleep that night, I kept tossing and turning. The look on Jacob’s face stayed on my mind haunting me, the look of pure disgust and anger when I told about my dad’s abusive ways.  He freaked out, saying that what he’s doing isn’t right; that there needs to be justice and that he’s going to get it for me. That’s exactly what I was afraid of, him trying to be a damn hero and getting hurt. I can’t let him get in between all this drama.  

I had finally fallen asleep at around 5 am and woke up around 7 am. I was exhausted but I got up anyways knowing that I won’t fall asleep again. I turned on my phone and noticed that Jacob had texted me.

Jacob: Hey, I know it’s kinda late notice but do you want to hang out today? Just the two of us tho. We need to talk.

Me: Yea, sure. When and where do you wanna meet?

He responded instantaneously

Jacob: Right now? I’m outside your house.

I looked out of my bedroom window, outside I saw Jacob leaning against his maroon coloured Jeep. As soon as he looked up and saw me he waved.

Me: I’ll be there in a few minutes. I have to get ready.

Jacob: Okay.

I quickly put on black leggings and a grey sweater. I then proceeded to the washroom and combed my tangled black hair and then brushed my teeth. I put my combat boots on and headed to the front door.

“And where do you think you’re going?”

 His voice sent a chill up my spine, slowly I turned around. He slapped me. My cheek began to sting.

“I asked you a question!” He yelled slurring his words.

He was obviously drunk. His breath reeked of alcohol.

 “I’m going to the library. I have to finish a project.” I said trying to keep my voice steady.

“Do you think I’m stupid? I know you’re going out with that guy, he has been outside for the past 20 minutes.”

“He’s just a friend,” I explained.

He pushed me and opened the door and headed outside towards Jacob.

“And who are you? Why have you been parked outside my house for the past 20 minutes?”

“Sir I-I” Jacob stuttered.

“Get the hell off my property!” He shouted at Jacob.

“Dad, please stop!” I pleaded.

He slapped me again grabbed me by the hair and pulled me inside.

“You stupid slut! Do you think I’m an idiot? I know what you have been doing with him. You’ve been whoring around sleeping with him. Haven’t you?”

“No that’s not true.”

He pushed me to the ground.

“Don’t lie to me!” He yelled.

I was still on the floor I tried getting up but he pushed me back down and began kicking my stomach.

“You dumb, worthless hoe! Don’t come around here with no babies. I will kill you and that unborn devil child.”

He kept kicking me.

“Please stop please!” I begged while coughing up some blood.

I tried to defend myself by protecting my head so then he started kicking my back and my face.

The front door crashed open. Jacob came through the front door and pushed my dad into the wall grabbed me by the hands and pulled me up. I couldn’t stand properly so he held onto me. My dad got back on his feet and began to charge at Jacob but he dodged it and my dad fell to the ground. Jacob helped me run to his car and get it. As soon as he got in he sped off towards Main Street.
