Chapter 2.

~~~Amber's POV~~~

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH. I'M GONNA WIPE THAT SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE" my dad, Ben, screamed.

Honest to god, I was so scared, I thought about even calling the police, but they wouldn't believe me, because of the horrible things I've done as well....

I readied myself for another beating, as I did every night when my dad came home from work, and drank until he couldn't think straight.

The door to my room opened, revealing a very angry, red faced man. "AMBER YA LITTLE BITCH COME HERE." As he stumbled over to me, he raised a bat and started beating me. The beating lasted for half an hour. When he was finally finished, he stumbled back out of the room, and went downstairs, most likely to drown himself in more beer.

I stood up on shaky legs, and limped to the bathroom. Tonight was one of the worsts, of course, not comparing to what happened before.... but besides that, i only broke my wrist, finger, and and a few toes. My dad enjoyed stomping on my toes. It was...say...a hobby of his.

I was so scared to look into the bathroom mirror, but i knew i had to in order to get the pain meds. I looked up, and was so shocked at what i looked like, it was horrible! My nose was bleeding, my right eye was black and swollen, my cheeks had red welts on them from being beaten and my lips were all cracked and bleeding.

I slowly and painfully took off all my clothes, after locking the bathroom door, looked at my back. Purple and Blue bruises were already forming all over, and my legs had cuts and bruises as well. All in all, i would live.

I took a long, warm shower, and changed into some pj's. I put band aids where they needed to be put, and cleaned myself up a bit. I guess I won't be going to school tomorrow.

~~~Seth's POV~~~

I wonder where Amber is...she isn't here today. All of a sudden i heard the principle call me down to the office from the P.A. System.

"Oh No! Did you try to kill yourself again loser?" said the school jerk, Aiden.

I stood up and turned around to face him.

"You would love that wouldn't you?" I asked him. I turned on my heel and went to the office.

"Ah, Seth! You came! I thought you were skipping school again." Mrs.Kingsley, our principal, said.

"Yeah well only 'cause I actually enjoy talking to you" I told her, truthfully. Mrs. Kingsley is the ONLY person in the entire school, other than Amber, that i liked.

"Well that's good to hear. I have some great news for you by the way. You are now transferred into the Academic math class! I decided that you're math is too good to be in the Applied class!" she said enthusiastically.

Wow! That IS great! I'll get to be with Amber for all my classes!

"Wow! Thanks so much, Mrs.k! You're the best!" I told her.

"Haha, well you have math next period, right? Well then you can go ahead and go to that class! I'll imform you're old teacher."

"Thanks a ton, talk to you later!"

"Okay, bye now!" she replied.

FINALLY! I can finally be with the girl I'm in love with, I thought to myself, as I walked back to my geography class to collect my belongings, since the bell already rang.

~~~Amber's POV~~~

Staying at home is actually really  fun, especially when my dad isn't home. But it makes me remember more about my mom... Oh well, I really shouldn't ruin my good mood!

I made myself some instant noodles, and went to watch some T.V. Living in Canada kind of sucked, since we didn't get that many good stations from America. Oh well, at least I can still watch 'Dance Moms'.

After watching re-run after re-run of 'Dance Moms', I went up to my room and listened to more music. I usually Listen 24/7. It's not even a joke, I listen in between class, during class, before school, after school, anytime i've got free, I'm listening to music.

I turned toward my clock, and looked at the time. 2:57pm I read.

“Oh! School must be ending soon! OH WAIT THAT MEANS MY DAD'LL BE HOME SOON!” I said, worried that he's come early.

My dad specifically said that if the house wasn't clean 100% when he got home, I would get in BIG trouble. And of course, the scared little prick I am, said okay.

I started doing the dishes, drying them and putting them away. I vaccummed every room with carpet and washed every single floor of every room with hard-wood flooring. I re-made the beds in my father's room and mine. Also in the 2 extra guest rooms. You're probably wondering why we have two guest rooms. It's because my brother used to have a room of his own, until he moved out.

I was still thinking to myself when I heard my dad call out “AMBER! I'm home!”.

Then I remembered that my dad was having some co-workers come over, so I quickly washed my face, put enough makeup to cover my bruises, a tank-top and cardigan and threw on some jeans. As I walked down to say hi, I stopped short. It was Seth, the boy who was watching me play on the piano. I never knew that he was coming over!

“Hi Seth! How was school today?” I asked him.

“Oh it was alright, we have no homework, but that science project is due tomorrow” he replied with a small smirk playing on his lips.

“What are you talking about? We don't have a science project due tommorow, I would know!” I said back, shocked.

“Well you weren't listening that day, so I'm not surprised that you didn't know!” He said, with that same smirk.

Then I remembered that there WASN'T a science project due tommorow, only an easy worksheet.

“YOU LIAR!” I half-whispered, since my dad had walked in the room, and was talking to Seth's mom.

“Hm...Guess you caught me red-handed!” He laughed.

While we were laughing, we didn't realize that our parents had been staring at us.

“Amber. Come here now.” My dad said, and knowing that tone, I was going to get a short beating of some sort.

I walked into another room with him, and he slapped me.

“Ow! What was that for??” I asked, confused.

“For misbehaving! Don't you remember that I asked you to BEHAVE when we have guests over?” he practically whisper-yelled.

“Okay, I'm sorry dad, It won't happen again..” I mumbed,

And with that, an extremely eventful evening began...
