*one day later*

My dad was gone. He left to go buy some beer. Great.

I heard a knock on the front door so I went to see who it was. Once I opened the door, I was tackled.

"LI!!" My friend Rowen cheered. She was always happy to see me.

"Hey..." I said sad.

"What's wrong?" She asked with concern filling her voice.

"Nothing..." I said with tears about to fall. I looked down and she knew that he hurt me again.

"He did it again, didn't he?" She asked looking in my eyes.

I closed my eyes and nodded slightly.

"Let me see..." She said, tears forming in her eyes.

I turned and lifted up my shirt for her to see the dried gashes.

"Oh my... Li! That's horrible!" She said tears starting to fall.

"Did you do it again?" She asked as we shared a hug.

"Mhm..." I nodded.

"Let me see..." She said as she pointed to my arm. I pulled up my sleeve and she was shocked at the sight of my scars.

"I'm so sorry..." She said as she pulled me into another hug.

"Its not your fault..." I said as I pulled away to see her tear covered face.

"Yes, it is, only if I could be there for you. I could get you out of this hell hole!" She said as she pulled away.

"I know, but, you should leave..." I said with worry filling my voice.

"Why?" She asked.

"My dad is gonna be home soon..." I said as I started to push her out the door.

"Call me later!" She said as I closed the door.

After about 5 minuted of cleaning up old beer bottles, wrappers from food, and old dirty clothes that my dad left laying around, he pulled up.

He pulled 2 big boxes of beer out of his car and started to walk towards the door. I opened the door and kept my head down.

My dad hated it when I stared at him, so I barely ever looked at him.

He went and put some beers into the fridge along with taking about 5 or 6. I hurried up to my room and grabbed my phone.

I put on Lost it all by Black veil brides and just sat in a corner hugging my knees waiting for him to come up.

After about 30 minutes he came up drunk. He burst open the door and looked straight at me.

"Get your ass over here." He said as he pulled something new out of his pocket.

I looked at it and saw it was a metal paddle. I just sat there hugging my knees and rocked back and forth, crying.

"Listen to me you Bitch!" He said, rage taking over.

I did as he said and crawled over to him.

He got me a good few times, it way worse then the belt. I almost died.

*20 minutes later*

My dad left and Jay came knocking at the window. I forgot to latch it so he got in once he saw me laying on the floor dying.

"Oh my god!" He said. With that, everything went black.
