The rose to his Thorn

Chapter 3

⚠️WARNING VIOLENCE AND ABUSE A HEAD !Roseta POV:

After I leave the gym i dread to go home lord only knows what mood those two are in. I'm already shaking and if they start yelling at me I know I'm going to have another panic attack. See most people think i started public school because it's my last year but honestly to just get 8 hours away from them is more than enough for me

I park my jeep at my house and say a silent prayer for what I'm about to walk into. I open the door and the first thing that I meet is a cooking pan to my face "AHHHHHHHHH" I scream while holding my face I'm too scared to see how much damage is done "where the hell have you been? I have been worried sick" my dear old dad tells me. As I'm still trying to process everything he grabs my hair and pulls me to the couch "I asked you a fucking question! Where the hell were you!?" He yells in my face "I..I was at the gym" I stutter too scared to even breathe at this point "about time fat ass" he tells me I just hang my head low.

And that's when I notice the needle in his arm again they are never going to change or even try for me I probably not only have a concussion but a broken nose or something my face hurts so bad I can't even tell you the damage and where it might be. "Why do you hate me so much?" I ask somehow finding my voice but he just laughs "have you seen your self you're disgusting how could I not hate you and now you're just an extra mouth to feed but I got some good news when you turn 18 whenever the hell that is you are out. There is no reason for you to still be here so you will pack your shit and never come back here"

He tells me with the most exciting emotion I think I have ever heard from him I hate it here but I have no where else's to go and my birthday is in a month so I just nod and get up and head for the bathroom to wash off everything. I look in the mirror and see a huge  bruise on the side of my face and my nose is bleeding and my eyebrow is cut and I have no idea if I have enough make up to cover this up. I get in the shower and just cry I cry for my broken family and I cry for myself I have exactly one month to either find someone who would be willing to take me in or be financially stable enough to find something of my own.

I hate this but it's either get welcomed with pans and brooms and hot stoves or a homeless shelter and honestly I don't know if my skin can take another burn so just screw it they would rather get doped up  than help their only daughter.

This is why I can't get close to no one this is why I was trying not to get close to Derek. He was being kinda sweet in his own Derek way today but my family is dangerous I can't put someone else life in danger because of my family. I haven't gotten to do any teenage experience and honestly I'm starting to give up on it.

I get out of the shower and put on my sweatpants and hoodie because as much as I want to live my body I just can't too many scars and bruises and I get called fat everyday. I get to my room and just lay down I barely ate today but I don't have money to start a diet I barely had money for the gym membership so I'm just going to skip dinner tonight again I have to lose it somehow.

Im too sad to do anything I just want to go to bed and dream about a different life. As I'm about to drift off my phone goes off  I sigh and read "I go to the gym on Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday" I smile reading Dereks text but I don't answer I can't get attached even though I have only had two real interactions with him but I'm a girl and if me and him start hanging out I'm going to start having scenarios at night about him.

The next day at school I tried to cover up everything as much as I could but I'm wearing sweatpants and a hoodie and tenny shoes "hey shortcakes" Austin say approaching me but I just wave at him and walk the other way I'm too embarrassed about the way that I look today and being too paranoid about my bruises. "Aye how are you just going to wave me off like that" Austin says "I'm sorry I've just been busy today and I have a lot of extra work I'm needing to get finished so I don't really have time to stop and talk" I say as politely as possible he just shrugs and walks off

The day has been slow but I finally made it to my last class which unfortunately has Derek and Austin in it but I'll just sit in the back away from them today. And that is exactly what I do but it goes being noticed Derek just kept eyeing the entire time I mean so did Austin but different two different type of eyeing. Derek was more confusion and concern Austin's was more well horny.

After class ends I leave as soon as possible but not before my wrist is grabbed "what's wrong?" Derek ask me "nothing just busy" I say while getting out of his grip he lets abs he lets me go "okay well text me when you get home" I roll my eyes at that and say "it's only for gym sessions" he nods "it was until you left me on read and I saw how upset you were today you can say you were busy but you haven't even ate today and it hurts for you to laugh for some reason. So text me when you get home so I know you got there safely" he pleads. Im taken back by everything

He pays attention to me but a little too much so you have to keep pushing him away Roseta you have to "Don't bet on it" I tell him and walk away.

:HEY SORRY I KNOW ITS SHORT BUT I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS ONE LATE AT NIGHT AND I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW BUT I WILL UODATE AS SOON AS I CAN.
