mentions of assault by family member






Elena sat in the back seat of her red BMW on a cliff looking over the Valley that she called home, tears in her eyes as she sat all alone looking up at the stars. Her mind flooded with the memories of just an hour ago when she was curled on the floor with her father standing over her.

The bruises of his assault ever so visible on her body as she took another gulp off her Pepsi that she drank as though it was a can of beer. Unintentionally mimicking her fathers nightly stance.

"I fucking hate him."
She murmured under her breath, she laughed at herself for whispering as if he'd be able to hear her.

"I fucking hate him!" She screamed loudly, gripping her hair tightly inflicting a vast amount of pain in her scalp. The girl let out a loud scream in attempt at letting her frustration out because she couldn't ever show her father how weak she truly was.

She cried thinking off the times when she was young and he'd loved her, it seemed as though she'd turned 12 and he turned his back on her.

What had she done to make him lose all the love he held for her? She hit her leg repeatedly, so hard that it bruised.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid.." She paused for a moment before allowing herself to fully cry, something she only did when she was alone.

So much for being the it girl, she thought whilst shaking her head when another car pulled up beside her. She flinched but calmed down recognizing the car, out stepped Adina, she jumped into her best friends car.

"How did you find me?" Elena croaked whilst wiping her face, "We share location remember? Saw you were at your emo cliff so I figured I'd come be emo with you.. wanna talk about it?" Adina asked as she pulled out snacks from her bag.

"No." Adina looked over at Elena then back up at the stars, "Alright, we don't have to talk about it, but I am here when you wanna." Elena leaned over, placing her head on Adina's shoulder who pulled Elena's blanket over the both of them. "Thanks, D."

"Anytime, E."

Elena sat in a middle table, reapplying her makeup to make sure the bruises from the night before weren't visible. Adina at her side sleeping on her backpack while a bunch of nobodies surrounded them acting as though they were all friends. She put her compact away as her eyes fell on a skinny, hispanic boy.
