sneaking out

Skylers pov:
it was 8:00pm I had to start thinking about how to sneak out. why would i want to sneak out of a place where i feel safe? i had to go back, like always. to reality. if i was gonna be staying with ethan for a while then i need to collect my beatings before leaving.

I know Ethan stays up really late but he probably wouldn't be able to hear anything from yelling at his fortnite game.
*knock knock*
I was startled out of my thoughts when the door opened before I had time to reply so I knew exactly who it was. My back faced the door as I sat on my bed looking out the window.

~ "What's the point of knocking if you're gonna come in anyway" I said with a snarky tone. Does he really think he can act the way he did and just have me being fine with it, yeah no. "Yo chill I just came to bring you your medicine" I did kinda feel bad for blowing up on him but he couldn't just ignore the fact that he had been ignoring ME all day.

~"Whatever" I scoff as I turn around to take the pills. He also handed me a water bottle. Aww- no. I grabbed the pills and downed them. He just stood there looking at me. I raised my eyebrows,
~ "what?" He shook his head "oh-uh nothing"
~"ok well goodnight" I said shooing him out the door.

I closed the door behind him and walked to the window.K time to start Mission: sneak out -(cringe ik) I opened the window in the room that led to the backyard, and threw my legs out the window. Did I forget to mention the room I'm staying in is on the second floor? Well yeah it is. There was a tree in the backyard that I could climb to get back in so I wouldn't have to worry about having to use the front door.
Next, I jumped out the window and harshly landed on my feet. Not wasting any time I ran to the gate and opened it, and with that I ran like the wind. You would think why would I run straight towards my nightmare, well so I can get back to Ethan faster. being abused has been my whole life, i feel like if i am gonna be alive, i deserve to have pain.

As I ran I thought about how I always catch myself thinking about him. weird. I've never felt like this before and I surely don't feel it towards anyone else. I don't know what it means but all I know is that I don't want to hurt Ethan so if I have to stay away from him because of these feelings I will. I ran down the familiar street and stopped in front of a house I knew all to well. The house that was supposed to be "my home". It's crazy to think I feel more at home at the Dolan's residence then at my own house. There lies my parents cars, in front of this dark house. I took one last deep breath and opened the creaky door. The lights were off but I knew they were home...and awake.

abuse❗️

I heard shuffling, but I couldn't see anything. A rough hand covered my mouth, as it muffled my scream. "Back for more" a voice whispered in my ear. As soon as I heard my dad's voice I froze, I couldn't make a sound. He moved his hands to my shoulders with a firm grip, as if he was holding me in place. I guess he was because I felt him knee me in the back, hard. He pushed me to the floor and a felt a cold heal on my back. "Hi sweetie"

~"hi... mother" I said in a disgusted tone. "Don't talk to your mother that way!" My dad kicked me in the stomach right by the bruise from yesterday. The sad thing is, I could tell they weren't even drunk. They were straight up sober and 100% aware of what they were doing.

Even though I deserve the pain I decided it would be easier to just zone them out along with the pain. Their yells were muffled as they kicked me. I heard muffled glass break but I wasn't scared. I get beat up some much and it's the same every time, I get used to it. All I have to do is wait till they're satisfied and walk away. I closed my eyes and blocked out the world. It was fine until I felt too much pain that it brought me out of my daze. I jolted up as my eyes opened to see my dad holding a bloody piece of glass.I looked down to see my shirt lifted up with one huge cut that went all the way across my stomach diagonally. The cut was so deep, it felt like it was on fire but the rest of my skin was numb. I knew I had to get out of here, I could only handle so much, because turns out the pills I'm supposed to take makes me weaker for the first week. My dad stood up looking down at me as if he was admiring his work. He seemed to be pleased because with that he left with a smirk.

abuse over❗️

I raised myself up clutching onto my bloody stomach from the pain. There was so much blood, my entire stomach was red with blood. Putting pressure on the cut with my arm, I ran out the door so fast I kept stumbling on my own feet. I ran the whole way back to the dolans which wasn't far, but it definitely was hard to run, when your whole body is in pain. I stopped running as I approached the beautiful sanctuary. When I got to the driveway I realized there was no way I'd be able to climb up the tree like this. I had to go through the front door. There was a key under the mat so my only problem is ethan. I don't know how long I was gone or what time it was but either way ethan could still be up. Oh well he probably won't leave his room anyway so.

As I opened the door I realized that there was blood dripping all the way from my stomach, down my legs, and on my shoes. Even if I took off my shoes blood would still drip down my feet. I guess I'll just clean the floor after I take another shower. I ran up the stairs as quickly and quietly as possible and ran straight to the bathroom and locked the door. I turned on the shower and put my bloody clothes in the sink. As the water warmed up I looked under the sink to see if there was any medical supplies, and luckily I found some gauze and medical wrap and tape. I set the supplies on the counter as I got in the shower.

~"Ahh" I screamed and whimpered in pain. My hand immediately covered my mouth to stop me from screaming. The floor of the shower was bright red along with the lower half of my body as the blood rinsed off. Suddenly my legs felt weak and I fell to the floor. I started to cry from the sudden impact, and movement that made my stomach bleed more. I sat there crying for probably 10 minutes until I found a little strength to get up and out of the shower. Even though my stomach was still bleeding I turned off the water and just firmly wrapped a towel around myself, the towel soaking up the blood fast.

After I dried the cut and the rest of my body I grabbed multiple pieces of gauze and held them to my stomach with one arm while the other one wrapped my whole stomach with a medical wrap. Once that was done it was held in place with tape. There was no other big enough towels in the bathroom so I had to wrap the dried bloody one around my naked body. I grabbed my clothes and opened the door. I went to the spare room to change and then downstairs so I could wash the towel and clothes. As I was walking down the stairs I noticed the light was on.

Did I leave the light on? No, I didn't even turn on the light. I slowly kept walking down the stairs. I turned the corner to see Ethan scrubbing the floor, I was confused until I saw he was scrubbing my bloody footsteps from earlier. What do I do?! He looked up at me with a unreadable face.
