The Lost De'Luca

Chapter Twenty two

Panic filled me as I tried to make my way to the house on time before Luke gets angry. I don't know why mom loves him so much, she doesn't see any bad in him and leaves me with him all the time

I barely managed to make it to the house because of my wounds from yesterday. I opened the door and didn't see Luke anywhere, I sighed in relieve and made my way to the stairs

"Where the fuck have you been you filthy whore!" I heard his voice from behind me and I stilled, heart beating faster. It's finished, he's gonna kill me

"I-"

"Answer me bitch!" He yelled at me and pulled me down the stairs by my hair. Gosh that hurt alot, I tried to keep the tears in as he hated it when I cry. But unfortunately for me a few slipped out of my eyes

"Crying like always" he sneered and delivered a punch to my stomach and I winced in pain

"Now tell me where were you?" He growled, holding my jaw tightly

"S-school" I stuttered like a pathetic person, which sadly I am

"You fuckin liar, your school ended at 2:00 so tell me where the fuck where you?" He asked clearly irritated

"At school, a teacher needed my help" I said, which wasn't practically a lie

"Lying again are we? Looks like it's time for me to teach you some manners" he said with a disgusting smirk making him look like a dying fish

He pushed me to the ground and unbuckled his belt with a sinister smirk. He started whipping me with his belt and I shut my eyes tightly, not making a sound, that's what he wants, for me to scream and then he'll just punish me harder. Sick fucker

He suddenly stopped and I opened my eyes slowly to see what he was doing and tears welled in them. He was holding a dagger, that hurts more than any other punishment he has given me

"P-please any o-other punishment. N-not this" I stuttered trying to get away from him

"Shut up. Now lift your shirt like a good little whore" he said coming closer to me and I shook my head

"Then I'll do it for you" he said and ripped my shirt off causing an involuntary sob to force it's way out of my lips

He turned me around forcefully and started carving words into me. Tears fell from my eyes rapidly as pain overwhelmed me

"Clean this mess up before your mother comes" he scrowled and kicked me a couple times before staggering up the stairs. Leaving me there to wonder just what I did to deserve all this

I gasped awake, my hands shaking. I looked at the time, it's just 12:00am.

I didn't know when tears welled up in my eyes again and I sobbed. I'm so tired of being like this, I'm so messed up. I heard some footsteps coming towards me but I didn't have the power to look up, suddenly arms wrapped tightly around me

"It's okay, I'm here for you" I heard the person say and I buried my head in the person's chest

I just got back from a club and made my way upstairs. I came across Gabriella's room and stopped, I could hear sobs in there. I wanted to walk away but it felt like my legs were glued to the ground

I felt uneasy hearing her cry like that. I may pretend like I don't care about her but she is my sorella, I will always care. After having an inner battle, I opened the door and saw my farfalla (butterfly) curled up in a ball as sobs raked her body
