she knows how to swim.
But she's drowning.

She's hurting.
But feels nothing.

She's alive.
But dead.

She's here.
But she's invisible.

I go to write the next line when I suddenly get awoken from my thoughts and into reality. Someone's knocking at my door.

I close and hide my book under my blanket and walk to the door I answer.

he's home.

"Hey princess" my father says
"Oh I didn't know you were home yet." I add to the conversation as I fidget with my earrings and breathe heavy but quiet as I don't like to make him mad.

"The meeting ran smoothly and it ended early so I came home as fast as I could to see my baby girl!"
"Oh that's great dad!" I fake a smile.

he walks into my room without asking and he observes it. "What a fascinating room you have. I haven't been in here since mom was out of town last month and since then you changed it alot haven't you?" He grins and touches every little thing he can find.

I gulp and try to not cry from getting Deja vū from last time he was in here. "I.." as I stutter I begin to feel hot like really hot.. "I didn't like how it used to look."

"GOD DAMNIT V!" he screams while he through a my lava lamp straight towards me I flinch and duck, it hits the wall leaving a dent in it bigger from the last time.

"I'm s-sorry daddy I was getting tired of it I promise it has nothing to do with.. that!!" I began to sob and I finished my sentence and I look at my broken lava lamp that is now no longer a lamp.

"YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT SHIT!!" he vegans to come closer to me and closer. He smacks me. As usual in my face. I place my hand where he smacked me and fall to the ground crying faster then ever.

"Please.." I said sniffing and wiping my tears that keep falling "stop it." I begin to move back as he starts to chuckle and point his finger at me.

"YOUR A FUCKING SLUT VERONICA." He gets spit all over my face and he begins to drag me by my hair towards the staircase. I begin to scream hitting him, kicking him whatever I can do I try to get him off of me then.

It simply.

Goes dark.
