Love Under The Mask (scream fanfic)

Dad's gone mad

Tw: alcohol, verbal and physical abuse, slight sexual abuse, murder, deep conversations + emotional

It's been a week since the incident and my dad still isn't home. That's weird. I'm starting to worry about him. This isn't like him at all. I'm starting to think he'll never come back. I've had to get the groceries, lock the doors to the house, unpack some packages that weren't as important, and I've been left to do all the chores around here. It's miserable. At the same time a part of me enjoys having the time to myself. I don't have to worry about rent since my parents bought the house full on. So I'm on the safe side. I can't pay for groceries and gas on my own without a job forever. It's either my dad gets his ass back home or I'm gonna be forced to get a job. That would be bad too. I don't want to work on summer break. A BREAK FROM SCHOOL. Speaking of school, if I get a job I might have to drop out of school. Which would not be very good for me. Not the best path for me to take. But I honestly don't know what else to do. I feel bad because I haven't talked to anyone in a week, even Sadie. She's probably worried sick. Millie's texted so much I'm surprised she hasn't stormed over here and busted down my door. A part of me feels bad, but I just don't care. I'm just too tired right now. I love Sadie to death and I probably need her the most right now and just don't realize it. Doesn't matter. I just want to know I haven't lost my dad too. After checking the mail, I headed inside. I sat down to put on a tv show and hopefully get lost into it. I want to leave reality and go to a different one. What happened? It feels like just yesterday was my 17th birthday and everything was perfect, why did everything have to change? I want that happiness back. Before you know it, I was lost (it was shameless). The episode has just ended. I looked out the window and saw it was dark out. Great. Another long day wasted. When do I get my life back? Just as I began to walk to the stairs, the door swung open. I turned around to see my dad standing in the doorway. He was... different. I wasn't happy to see him, and you would think you normally would be. He had a half full beer bottle in his hand. He looked half asleep and as if he were about to fall over. "Where the fuck have you been?! I've been left alone this whole week to do everything around the h-" I was interrupted by my dad throwing the glass bottle at me. It flew only inches away from my head past me and broke on the carpeted stairs. Well that's gonna stain. My dad stormed by me and slammed me into the wall roughly. My head banged into the wall due to the force. It hurt like a mother fucker. I don't like this. What happened to him. Where's my loving dad I once knew him to be. All I see is a sad old angry drunk that had the life sucked out of him. A cold empty lifeless guy. It scared me. "You shut the fuck up you little bitch" he yelled in my face. His breath reeked of alcohol. It was awful. He slapped me cold right across my face. He was like the devil himself. "There are going to be some changes around here" His tone was heartless and cold. "Just you wait, you are going to finally feel what life really is like. You are going to wake up everyday with bruises and remember each bruise is a hole that was punched in my heart. I always have pretended it wasn't there because your mom made me happy. Now that's she's gone I want you to feel the same pain and suffering I have to feel every waking moment of my life. Every second of every minute. Every minute of every hour. Every day of every week. Every week of every month I have to wake up and repeat what I did the previous day. Sleep, wake up, eat, work, eat, pay, and then sleep again. Then it repeats all over again. Life is the same continuous pattern everyday and sometimes something else good or bad will be smashed into the day. Always the same thing. Nothing new. No change. Same old shit. If I'm going to continue to live in this shitty world, so do you. I'm going to make sure each and every word that comes out of my mouth gets into that head of yours. You are going to feel the true meaning of life in your bones. Nothing. I promise you that." He said in a cold, serious tone. I gulped as he let go of me and drunkly walked to his room and slammed the door. I was speechless walking up the stairs, avoiding the glass. Once I got into my room and locked the door, I slid down the door and broke down. I buried my face in my knees and cried my heart out. What's happened to my dad? I don't even know if I can call him that anymore. Not after everything he just did and said. How could life do this to me? I honestly never had a good life. The minute things actually got good, it all got thrown away. Who knew one tragedy, one person could ruin so much. It feels like my life is over. Is this really how I'm going to live now? I don't even know where to start. I'm in such a deep hole I don't even know if I can get out of it. My thoughts were interrupted by another call. Sadie. I sighed and let it ring till silence filled the room again. It was interrupted by Sadie calling again. I powered off my phone and laid down in my bed. I buried my face in my pillow and cried myself to sleep. I guess this is my life now.
