I lay in bed refusing to wake up as my dad was drunk once again, this happens on an average of 6 times a week. Every night I cry myself to sleep as i hear soft cries and screaming as he continuously beats my mum. After i have lied in bed for an hour remembering what had happened last night i went down stares, when i got down there my dad was lied there drunk out of his head on the kitchen floor. I was so scared and upset i ran upstairs and went into see my mum, she had broses on her face, arms and legs and dry blood coming down from her nose from when my dad was hitting her all night long.
I wake her up and i say to her ''Mum'' in a calm voice but she doesn't answer so i say again ''Mum are you okay I'm so sorry i couldn't help you, hear let me clean your face'' as i go in to the bathroom to get a wet flannel she calmly says to me ''don't worry Jess I'm okay, you wouldn't be able to do anything anyway hes to strong'' but i know that i can stop him,some way and some how. As i walk back into the room my mum had fallen back to sleep, so i climbed back onto the bed quietly and started to clean her face after i had cleaned her face i went into my big sisters room, that night she was crying her eyes out hoping that our dad would just stop and Finlay realise what he was doing and know how much pain he is giving us, as i walk in she says to me in a sad voice ''Why does it happen to us we have done nothing wrong to he world and in return we get this....WHY'' i know how she feels i get the same feeling every night so i say to her ''i know Lucy, but don't worry something bad will happen back at him someday i know it'' she says to me ''are you sure'' and i reply to her ''yes I'm positive'', after i went down stair and my dad was awake and didn't remember anything last night again. i ignored him and made some breakfast and then went into the front room still not speaking to him, he then speaks to me saying in a fears full voice ''Jess get up'' so i did he says to me ''don't you come down stairs in MY house ignoring me, I'm the adult and your the child you should respect me'' i looked down i say to him ''why should i speak to you, i don't want to speak to someone that doesn't respect me and this family'' he then comes right up into my face and shouts to me ''don't you dare say that you me you BRAT'' He the raises his hand and threatens to hit me so I ran back upstairs crying while I'm running up the stairs he shouts to me ''you better stay up there all day i don't want to see your face you horrible girl.
5 hours have pasted and i was still up stairs trying to fall asleep, then i herd the front door shut, I got out of bed went to look down stairs and my dad had went out so i went to the front door and locked it then i went to tell my mum and sister that he had gone they both came down stairs and was so scared i told my sister to look out the window just in case he came back and while she was looking i said to my mum ''Its time, i think we should call the police'' she started to cry and she said ''But i cant I'm to scared'' i said back to her in a calm voice ''but we have we cant live like this no more look at your self you have broses and scars all over you because of him, it could soon be to late he might even kill you next time you never know. she said to me ''OK Jess your right pass me the phone please'' so i pass her the phone, and she called 999

My mum puts the phone down and just in time, Lucy just said he was just coming down the drive way as she put the phone down we all ran upstairs like nothing happened and i unlocked the door my dad had been to the shop to get 4 bottles of vodka,two 8 pack cans of larger and 3 bottles of whisky, that may seem allot but to him that is nothing that will last him all night not even that so as we ran upstairs like nothing had happened we went back into are rooms and waited till the police came. Ten minuets had past and the door bell rang my dad didn't answer it so i got out of bed and went down stairs and as i opened the door the police where there, They said to me ''can we come in were the police i herd your mum rang up is your dad hear'' and i reply ''yes i told her to ring i was getting fed up with him being so mean and fearful to us,please,please come in he's in the kitchen'' they walk into the kitchen and see my dad and they say to him ''Mr porter i am arresting you for the abuse of Josey porter you do not have to say anything but if you do it will later rely in court'' my dad was speechless as they took him away my mum and sister was sitting on the stairs watching as they walked out the door with him my mum and sister stood by the end of the stairs watching them put him in the police car as they drove away i slammed the door shut and started to smile, i walked up to my mum and sister and said to them ''were free he's gone forever'' a week has past and we have sold the house, we are planing to move somewhere else where my dad wont be able to see us ever again, are life was back to normal he wasn't there to beat my mum and us anymore and we get to live how we want without him complaining that he doesn't like things happening in HIS house or he doesn't want HIS daughter to do anything he doesn't want her to do but that doesn't matter anymore because we are free now and we don't ever have to see him ever again.
