<but I don't know what to do

I stare down at my phone with a shaky hand, waiting for a reply.

I hold my breath, watching as the dots dance while Wanda types.

Wanda 🥰

I start to pace again while I text as fast as I can.

Y/n

<know who else to text

I look over to the living room, he's sitting in the same position with his feet up on the coffee table.

Wanda 🥰

Y/n whats going on>

Y/n
My dad's in the house
he pushed past me and
he won't leave he's drunk
<I don't know what to do

"Oi, girl! Come 'ere! Don't you wanna sit with your dad?!" He yells from the other room.

My breathing quickens to a rapid pace and I feel a tear roll down my cheek. Somehow, though, all I feel is numb. I open my mouth to reply but I can't seem to form any words.

Wanda 🥰
shit y/n I'm really sorry>
what's happening there are you okay>
are you in danger>
maybe try find an excuse to leave>

"You deaf girl?! I said come 'ere!!" His voice booms through the house and he slams his beer on the couch table, making me jump. Drops of beer sprinkle out of the bottle and onto the couch and floor.

Wanda 🥰
where do you live? ill come and meet you somewhere>

I slowly walk over to the living room entrance. I stare at the floor in an immobilised daze, unable to move my eyes. "I'm gonna go get some more beer for you, dad. I'll be back soon."

"I see I've finally knocked some... *hiccup* sense into you. See? What... five minutes of me back home and you're already being a good woman. You'll be a good wife one day." I hum awkwardly and then head straight for the door.

Once I close the door behind me, I sprint to the park a couple of blocks away, forgetting to check for passing cars in my stupefied mind.

When I get there, I come to a stop under a eucalyptus tree and try to catch my breath. I pull out my phone from my jean pocket.

Wanda 🥰
