Him

"NO I'M LEAVING WITH THE KIDS BEN!" My mom was in another argument with her abusive boyfriend Ben. I had Asher, my 8 year-old brother, and Alex, my 17 year-old brother, in my room. Me and Alex were trying to distract Asher from what was going on in the other room. "Hey Ash, wanna see something cool?" Alex asked Asher, and he nodded his 'yes' eagerly. Me and Alex winced as we heard an object crashing against the wall, and Ben started yelling at my mom. "I'll be right back, ok?" I looked at Asher and he smiled and I smiled back at him. "Aria, no." My middle brother grabbed my wrist and looked at me with pleading eyes. "Alex, someone's got to intervene. Just stay in here with Asher." I said to him. He hesitantly let my wrist go and nodded once. 

I walked out into the living room immediately hearing yelling and more objects being thrown. The sound of someone hitting someone else made me run out there and yell. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING TO HER!!!!" I yelled at Ben, making him let go of my mom and throw her against the wall. "Who the fuck do you think you are? Talking to me like that?" He glared at me and started walking towards me. I held my ground. "Your fucking insane. You need mental help, Ben." I whispered harshly in his face. "18 year-old girl thinks she can talk to me like this?" He stared daggers into me, but I wasn't giving up. I was buying my mom her time to pack the shit she needed and leave with Ash and Alex. I would catch up. "A girl who thinks it's time for you to leave." I growled, low in my throat. He was taken aback for a moment but regained his intimidating stance. "You don't know who the fuck you're talking to woman." "Oh but I do. Your a weak man. What gives you power is by hitting women. That's not a man. You are NOT a fucking man." He slapped me and it stung. But I was used to it by now. 

All I did was laugh. I started hysterically laughing and he looked confused as to why I was laughing. "You think you can just FUCKING HIT ME AND GET AWAY WITH IT!!!" I started pushing him back while I was walking. "Oh no, you messed with the wrong fucking family." I spat in his face. I was right up on him now, and I realized that spitting in his face made him hard. 'fuck.' I punched him quickly before he had any time to make any advances on me once again. I stepped out of his way when he went to grab me causing him to fall on his face. I laughed again at how pathetic he looked. He grabbed my ankle and shoved me under him. 'no.' "You think women like you get away with that? Oh no, they have to pay the ultimate price." He said in my face. His breath smelt bad and I was wriggling to move out of his grasp. 'please no. not again.'  

Just as I was about to accept my fate, my self-defense kicked in. I brought my knee and head up at the same time and kicked his dick while head butting him at the same time. He let out a scream of pain and I chuckled. I kicked him in his ribs, in the face. Fucking anywhere. I was seeing red now. If I didn't stop now I would kill him. But I didn't care. He was a sick and evil man who should die. Suddenly, he grabbed my ankle again and I hit the floor. Hard. I felt my nose crack and I definitely broke my nose. He got on me once again and punched me. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Si-. And then there was nothing. 

Maybe I died. Maybe I just got knocked out. I don't fucking know. But all there was, was black.
