After being at the air bnb for a week, it was time to go home. I really wasn't thrilled cause I was afraid of the memories of sam flooding back into my head. The ride home was alright cause I got the aux cord. I really enjoy car rides so it was understandable why I didn't want to go home. I made a few tiktoks at the air bnb, one with madi that went more viral than others.
I arrived at home and chris walked me up to the doorstep. He planted a kiss on my forehead. "Have fun at home. Without me." He smiled. I smiled. "Oh yeah, for sure." I said sarcastically. He looked into my eyes and cupped my cheeks, pulling me into a kiss. I could hear multiple gasps from the car, then madi and nick freaking out together. Chris smiled through the kiss and then let go of my cheeks, realsing the grasp his lips had on mine.
"Bye, love you." He said. "Bye, love you too." He walked down the steps and back into the car, wich was greeted by Madi and Nick shouting. My phone was blowing up already. I sighed and laughed, unlocked the door and set my keys down on the table. I was met by my dad, looking angry as ever. This can't be good. I thought to myself. I tried to go set my stuff down in my room but i was stopped.
"where do you think your going?" My dad said. "My room?" I questioned. "So, have you never heard of manners?!" My dad got up slowley and walked over to me. "I- I thought you were sleeping." I lied, my confidence slipping away from me. "Let me tell you something. You can say hello to me, ask how I was doing, but no." He brought his hands up agressivly to my neck. My things dropped to the floor in a hearbeat. I straglled at his hands.
I was gasping for air as he lifted me off the ground, i tried to get my feet to touch the ground, i just wasn't tall enough. I foucused on my breathing. "You don't have ANY GODDAMN MANNERS! Just like your mother. So stubborn." He gripped tightly on my neck, slamming me into the wall. Tears swelled into my eyes from the lack of oxygen.
I could smell the alcohol in his breath as he spoke. He dropped me suddenly, getting in my face one more time. I tried to hold myself up, but failed. I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. "Don't let it happen again." He grinded his teeth, and stumbled back to his chair.
I started crying hystarically, which made it even harder to breath. I layed on the floor crying for about 5 minuets. I gathered my things and went to my room. I looked in my mirror to see what he had done. He had left bruises on my neck, anyone could see it. It was in the shape of hands. It hurt to touch, even though my neck was numb. I was still having trouble breathing.
I soon heard a knock at the door. shit. I thought to myself. I went to go open the door to see who it was. I stuck only my head out of the door. It was chirs. "Oh! hey! what are you doing here?" I asked nervously, my voice raspy. It must've shocked chris a bit, cause his eyes grew. "Whoa. Whats up with your voice? And your eyes?" My eyes were red from crying. "Nothing." I said maybe a bit to fast. "Okayyy.. well I have Nugget. I figured we would just get her so you didn't have too." He said. I smiled. He was so sweet. "Thanks Chris." I stuck my hand out of the door to grab Nugget and the cage she was in.
"whats up with the angle?" Chris asked. "oh um... I don't know its just comfortable?" I said unsurely. Totally blew my cover with that one. Chris made a confused face. "Can I come in then?" He asked. There was no use in lying anymore. "....fine. But you can tell Matt and the others to leave. It's gonna be a while." I said. "Okay, thats fine." He said reasurringly. He went outside which gave me time to see my dad was sleeping on the couch already. I let my hair down and covered the back of my neck.
I turned around and waited for chirs's footsteps to come back. He came into the house and while he was taking his shoes off I walked to my room so he didn't see the bruises. He followed. I put nugget on my bed and let her out of her cage. Chris got to my room and shut the door. "So what's up?" He asked. I turned around quickly and shoved my face into his chest and gave him a huge hug. He hegged me back. "Hey, hey, it's okay." Chris said. I loved how he was still comforting me and not even knowing what was wrong.
After some time he said, "Is this about Sam?" "No." I said. My eyes were swelling with tears again. "Oh. You can tell me anything, okay? I can't promise I can help but I'll do everything in my power to try." I let go of him and backed up a bit. He looked at me for a second. With tears streaming down my face, I quickly turned around again.
I could hear chris's voice try to speak, but nothing came out. He came around and hugged me again. We hugged for a while, and I could hear Chris's quite sobs over my loud cries into his shoulder. He asked all sorts of questions. 'who did this' 'what happened?' all that. He suggjested to go to the hospital, but my dad could go to jail. "Y/n. This isn't about your dad, this is about your well being. Please just go. I'll come with." He pleaded.
Eventually, I was in the emergency room.
