Melody P.O.V
Well school was just as bad as I suspected. Tiffany and Lance found me. Lets just say I walked home with a lunch food shirt. Hey at least I got an A on my biology test. I may not be good social wise but smart wise I'm fantastic.
As usual I walked down the side of the beach. It took me about 20 minutes to get home. I wish it could have taken longer. I sighed and looked up at the awful place I call home. I checked the drive-way and to my delight his car was gone. I ran up to the door and swung it open. I jumped over all of the beer bottles and bolted upstairs. I opened the attic door and climbed up. My smile fell seeing my old ratty mattress.
I never had the best clothes, furniture, or anything really because of him. He didn't like to see me smile or happy. Just because the car hit her side and not mine. Just because I didn't die in the hospital and she did. Just because before she died she wanted to talk to me instead of my dad. Her last words involved singing with me. We sung Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I even remember her very last words.............If I lay here if I just lay here would you lie with me and just forget the world. I just can't forget the world considering she was my world. She was my dads world. She was the glue that kept us together.
I didn't even realise I was crying while thinking back. I wiped my tears away and sniffled. This is why I still love him. He only treats me like this because he is sad. I composed myself enough to do my homework.
After about 1 1/2 hours of doing homework I finally finished. I then grabbed my ipod and headphones. I scrolled through my 350 songs and chose Paradise by Coldplay. I love this song.
I went through about 30 other songs before I heard a car door slam. I yanked out my headphones and prayed the person in that car wasn't coming in my house. I held my breath for about 2 minutes before I let it out. For a second I thought that was my da........my thoughts we interrupted by the front door slamming open. I already knew he was drunk.
"Hey mute get your butt down here before I bring it down myself".
A/N sorry it was a short chapter it's a school night
