"I can't seem to explain a thing goin on in my head, on in my head" - xxx

Emma's POV
***
I shut my eyes. I was sitting on the floor of my closet with my hands covering my ears. They were fighting again.
They always fight. My mom and her boyfriend don't get along at all. He doesn't like me and wants me out the house. And that's exactly what most of their fights are about, including this one.
Me. Because I'm the devil, according to him.
I repeatedly hit my head with my arms, hoping it'd all go away. I'd wake up from a nightmare. I'd wake up, and my dad would still be alive, and my family would be happy.
To be fair on my mom, she defends me. A lot. And I know she loves me, she cares. I know that. But she's in an abusive and toxic relationship with a guy she met two years ago.
Around a year after my dad died. And it's never been the same since the night they met.
I used to love living with her. We were grieving, but we were grieving togehter. We had eachother. Now, I have no one to mourn with. No one to be sad with.
Nobody that's there for me, and nobody to be there for.
I feel empty.
I heard glass break downstairs. He always did this. He always broke bottles or glasses on her. He always took out his anger on her. It hurt, but I wasn't getting in the middle of it.
I tried to once, and almost died in the process. He hit me hard and I fell, hitting my head. I blacked out.
I decided not to get in the middle of their fights since.
After about an hour of constant screams, I shut down. I was nearly asleep. I had to get out of there at some point.
I felt suffocated.
Suddenly, I felt my phone buzz, waking me up from my slumber.
I looked at my phone which was sat next to me, and saw I had a message from my best friend Stokeley. Him and I go way back, we went to elementary together and were inseperable ever since.
I was crying, but I felt a slight smile grow on my face. I love him so much. Whenever he texts me my mood lights up.
