It was just another day in Newcastle for Amelia Scott, her alarm went off at half 6. She rubbed her face before getting out of bed. It was another day at her boring school, Chester High. Amelia came out of the shower and whilst drying herself, she looked at the bruise that was forming on her stomach. She sighed whenever she looked at her bruises, it just reminded her of the times when her dad hit her.
It started three years ago.Amelia was 14 at the time. Her family were happy, they were like a normal family, until her mum found out that her dad was stealing money out of her account to buy drink all the time. Her mum warned him that if he kept it up she wasn't staying with him any longer and that's what she did.
She upped and left. Amelia really misses her mum, she wished her mum didn't leave her here with her dad. Her life has been hell living with that man. She just wished she could do what her mum did three years ago.
Amelia's Pov
''Amelia you bitch, get down here right now!'' my dad, Spencer shouted.
''I need to get ready for school,'' i shouted back.
''Fuck school, you get down here when i tell you to,'' dad shouted back up.
i sighed and whilst fixing my tie, i walked downstairs towards the living room. My dad was lounged on the couch with a can of beer and watching the telly.
''Yes?'' i asked.
''Go make me cereal,'' he spat.
''What kind?'' i asked quite nervous.
''You know what kind,'' he growled at her.
She quickly left the living room and walked into the kitchen to make her father cornflakes. While she got the milk, she thought that her dad was getting worse each day, her father hit her every day but it was just a matter of time until it happens.
She walked into the living room and gave her dad his cereal in which he took without a thank you. She left and went out the door and put her earphones in and blasted Black Veil Brides. They were her favourite band and she likes to think that their lyrics have helped her though the three years she's known them. She just recently bought their new album Wretched and Divine and she loved it the second she played the songs.
She heard someone shouting her and she turned to see her friend Holly running towards her. Amelia smiled as Holly got to her.
''Hey what's up,'' Holly asked.
''Nothing, i'm good, are you?'' I asked sadly.
''Amelia has something happened with your dad again?'' Holly asked.
''No,'' i said.
''Mels, are you being honest,'' Holly said.
''Yes, i would tell you if he's did anything but he hasn't,'' i replied.
Holly left it there. We got to school around 8.25am. We met up with Susan and Frankie. They three were talking about what they did last night but i zoned out. The only thing i could say was yeah my dad gave me another beating last night. A lump formed in my throat, i closed my eyes.
I got a fright because of the bell.
''Amelia, i'll talk to you later,'' the three said.
I smiled and headed towards registration.
Time Pass
Wednesday classes were so boring so Amelia pretty much looked out the window and thought about the BVB concert which was happening in a week's time. She was so excited. At least some good comes to her life in a while.
When the bell ran for the end of the day Amelia walked towards the gate and said goodbye to Frankie and Susan. Holly walked with her for about 10 minutes before they parted. Amelia looked at her phone and began blasting BVB through her earphones. She soon reached the house and once she opened the door she heard her dad shout her and knew he was drunk and knew what was coming.
