I woke up to my father banging on my door. He hadn't been home the last three nights and I knew that he probably was gonna come back tonight.
"Rory open this fucking door!"
I sat up and curled into a ball in the corner hoping the walls would just suck me in.
"Rory if you don't open this door i'll break it down and you know what comes next!"
He was slurring his words so I could tell he was drunk. I slowly slipped out of bed and to the door. I opened the door and suddenly felt a sharp sting on my face.
He slapped me.
I could feel the tears start building up but I wouldn't let them fall. I knew the punishment would be worse if I did cry.
"I need you to go out and get me some more of this" He shoved a bottle of whiskey in my hand.
"Dad I don't have money" Then his fist came flying at my face. I fell to the ground groaning in pain.
He shoved a 20 dollar bill into my chest. "Here now go. NOW!" He yelled turning and shutting the door in my face.
With blurry vision I put my shoes on a ran down the stairs. I put the money in my pocket and walked out the door closing it behind me.
Walking down the streets of New York was kinda calming at night. I pulled out my phone and pulled up the camera and saw the bruise my father put there.
"Dang it" I whisper shouted at myself. Putting my phone away I saw the liquor store a few feet ahead. I kept walking with my head down which was a mistake. I bumped into someone and immediately started falling back. I closed my eyes waiting for impact but then a hand wrapped around my waist pulling me back up into the persons chest.
"Watch we're your going" A deep voice said from above me before letting me go.
"Thank you" I whispered barely being able to hear myself but I could tell he heard me. He turned back around and looked me up and down before meeting my eyes. He stared at me intensely before walking up towering over me.
He grabbed my chin making me look up at him and giving me a closer look at his face. He honestly had the most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen and his brown fluffy hair was messed up perfectly.
His thumb rubbed against my cheek and I winced before my eyes widened. He saw the bruise. I immediately pulled back and covered my face with my hair. It wasn't long before he grabbed my face again and stared with anger in his eyes.
"Who the fuck did this to you" I tried pulling my face away but he gripped it tighter making it impossible.
"N-no one I- I just fell when i was going up the stairs." I mentally smacked myself in the face for stuttering.
I could tell he didn't believe me but he didn't say anything and let go of my face. My muscles relaxed right as he let go and I sighed. Then he spoke again.
