Justin’s POV
"Where were you?" That was the first thing I heard when I walked in the house. I tried to be quiet, but I guess it didn't work.

"Where were you?" He asked for the second time, this time more pissed off.

  I shrugged, I couldn't tell him that I was with Allison all night. "I stayed at a friend’s house, didn't I tell you?"

He looked even more pissed now, if that was even possible.

He stood up and came to me. "Don't lie to me. You know that I hate lying"

He came closer. I looked him right in the eye, "yeah well, I'm old enough to make my own decisions."

He raised his eyebrows and started laughing in my face and before I even knew it he punched me in the face.

"I was worried sick and you decide that you can make your own decisions? I don't think so. If you live under my roof, you will keep doing what I say." He punched me one more time and pushed me away like I had a contagious disease.

I was fuming, it took everything in me to contain myself so I punched the wall and got up to my room. Of course I looked like shit right now, my knuckles included.

I sighed deeply and started cleaning my face and knuckles.

I wonder why he is like that, when my mom was still around he never laid a hand on me and now? I shook my head. I think he went crazy when mom died, they were pretty close.

And now he takes it out on me.

I'm used to it, really. It doesn't hurt anymore, I mean like it stings but that's it.

When I'm done cleaning everything, I go downstairs, I need some air after what just happened.

I can't be in the same house as him right now. So I go out the house, without saying a word to him. He knows I know that I had to be home before dinner.

I walked around the block and just like I was going there for years, I came out on Allison’s house. I laughed a little and shook my head. You got it bad dude.

I sighed deeply, I can’t see her or even tell her about what happened. I need to keep her out of this, whatever it takes.

I don’t want her to be a part of this and I also don’t want her to get hurt. I rub my forehead, just when things started to get good for me, this needs to happen.

It frustrates me so much, like can’t I be happy for just one second? Guess not.

I really wanted to punch a wall again, but then I needed to go to the hospital so I decided not to.

I went back home after an hour and sat on my front porch, I was early and dinner wasn’t ready yet, also I didn’t want to see my uncle.

I laid down on the porch and looked at the sky, it was full of stars. This could be a nice date with Allison, if it will ever happen.

I wish my mom was here, she always knew what to do in every situation and she could always make me smile. I really miss her, especially when I have to live with him. Luckily for me, graduations around the corner and then I’m out of here, for sure.

And I’m never looking back again.
