Chapter 7

Pete
"I'm home" I say more to myself because I know my parents don't care and are probably drunk right now, I don't even want to think about everything that happened today, everything was going so well but I saw someone getting bullied by a group of people and couldn't just stand around and watch. Well look where that got you Pete. "There's nothing to eat" I'm so annoyed right now that I want to complain even if I know it won't end well. "Oh you want me to cook for you now Pete?" My mom says looking disgustingly at me like always. "Well that's the least you could d-" I couldn't finish my sentence as a harsh slap landed on my face, "you piece of shit! Do you think you have the right to complain! YOURE NOTHING! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT!" My dad pushed me to the door and I landed on my back. They closed the door harshly, I began to cry, my sobs muffled as I looked up the sky. I think I really am nothing, why is everyone mad at me for simply being alive? What's so fucking wrong about me just wanting to live? They all want me to die I don't fucking want to I just want a normal life and nothing special. The sky was grey and it looked like it was gonna rain so I got up and walked to the nearby book store around the street to read for a while before back home. "Hey Pete! Haven't seen you for a while" I come here pretty much every time my parents tell me to get of the house so I'm really close to Aom who is the owner of this place."Hello Mrs Aom!" I say happily,I really like Mrs Aom because she's like a mother figure that I never had. "Are you here to read Pete?" Mrs Aom asks, "yea I'm gonna read for a while than head back" I smile at her and start looking around for a book. I pull out a book to read the cover but I freeze when I see Vegas leaning on the book shelf and reading a book. That's surprising because that bastard doesn't look like the type that gives a fuck about reading. I didn't know I was still staring but I'm pretty sure he feels eyes on him so he looks up and makes eye contact with me. I quickly look away and go to the chair by the window to read the book I picked out. I was so busy reading that I didn't see Vegas standing over me. "What do you want Vegas im not in the mood to fight with you" "Who slapped you, Pete?" He asks and that question makes me really confused on why he wants to know, does he want to tell me that I'm nothing again? this fucker. " And why should I tell you bastard" I say and look up at him, why does he look angry? He's so weird. "Was it the bullies again?" He asks staring at my red face that dad slapped earlier. "Just a few hours ago you were telling me that I deserved getting bullied and now you're acting like this? What is it that you want Vegas?" "I don't know what I want Pete!" He yells in frustration and it's good that there isn't anyone in the store right now. "Stop fucking yelling at me Vegas, I don't care if you hate me because I hate you just as much, and you know I think I'm just unlucky that's why I met you because you're just like my father" I say and try to walk away but he pulls my arm. "What do you mean I'm just like your father?" "Isn't it funny though because you guys said the same exact thing that Iam nothing" I say and Vegas's face softens a bit, what the fuck? I'm so confused does this men hate me or not. "Pete...I didn't mean that I was just.." "Whatever just let go of my arm Vegas" I say and he looks down and quickly takes his hand off. I decide to go home since there's nowhere else I could I go. I know if I knock they wouldn't open the door so I unlock the door with the keys that I have with me. "Did I not tell you to get out" my dad says as I enter the house "there's no where I could go" "YOU FUCKER COME HERE!" My dads says and gets up from the Couch "dad is sorry I'll just go to my room" I try to say so he wouldn't hit me, but the doesn't stop because he walks up to me and punches me in the nose, I fall down because the punch was so hard my dad bends down and starts punching me in the face multiple times than punches in the stomach, my nose begins to bleed and I start to sob. My dad just goes to his room and my mom just keeps watching tv not even checking on me. I go upstairs to my room and wipe my nose with a tissue I wish I wasn't afraid to end it all,If only I wasn't I would've been done with this long ago. My stomach hurts so bad that I stumble to my bed and start sobbing. I hate it here is what I always tell myself.
