⚠️⚠️Tw:Child Abuse⚠️⚠️
On Saturday morning I awoke to Gwen screams of pain and agony and my father screaming.I jumped out of bed still in my clothes from yesterday running down the stairs to see my father beating Gwen with his belt.
"Who was here yesterday Gwenny?!"My father snarled as he hit her again."I don't know! Iḿ sorry! "Gwen cried out flinching violently.Oh shit.I quickly jumped off the last step running in the kitchen."Dad stop!"I shouted.
My father stared up at me."You stay out of this!" My father shot back pointing his belt at me."Fuck you leave her alone!"I hissed.Gwens whole body shaking which I assumed was from fear."What'd you say to me boy?" I swallowed the lump in my throat I had."Leave her alone. She said she doesn't know" My father took a step towards me dropping his belt.
I opened my mouth to say something but was quickly shut up by my father's backhand and hand grip on my face."You ever...I mean ever talk to me like that again you're gonna end up in your sister's position" My father snarled releasing me.
My father walked out of the room, belt in hand.I made sure he actually walked out of the room.Suddenly I felt Gwen run right into me wrapping her arms around.I was surprised she hadn't knocked me over.Gwen was crying into me grabbing the back of my shirt tightly.
"Mrs.Mars told daddy"Gwen whimpered.Fuckin Cassandra Mars.Wrapping my arm around her shoulder I swifted her body to my side walking us over to the refrigerator grabbing an ice pack from the freezer."Here"I said handing it to her.
Gwen took the ice pack from my hand placing it on her bottom."I just came downstairs for some juice and that's when he started beating me...He told me that Mrs.Mars told him that somebody else was over here and he wanted to know who and I didn't tell him..." My sister was tough as nails and she wasn't a snitch.
My sister was loyal.
"Thank you for keeping it a secret '' Gwen nodded tear stained face.I grabbed a kitchen towel from the drawer running it under hot water.Taking the towel I gently wiped my sisters face.I took the towel away from my sister's face. Her eyes were puffy but her cheeks were going back to their normal rosy pink color.¨Here let's go watch TV" I muttered.
"Finney your cheek." Gwen pointed out.I looked at the reflection of my face on the fridge.Best believe my cheek had a red handprint on it. "It doesn't hurt." I reassured gwen. "I'm sure it probably doesn't but what's gonna happen when robin sees it?" I didn't think about that. "I'll come up with something alright? Just don't worry about it."
Gwen frowned as I dragged her to the living room.Sitting us both down on the cushions from the couch.I turned the Tv on to Tom and Jerry leaving the living room to get Gwen cereal.

"Hi Robin"I said wearily into the phone."algo anda mal cariño?" Robin's voice always gave me a sense of comfort."I'm alright, just tired"I pressed my back against the wall, still holding the phone against my ear.
"Can I come over today?"Robin asked."No! I mean no you can't"I quickly fixed my tone in voice."Okay?" Robin sounded upset."I'm sorry-I just you can't today? Okay?" I said sliding down the wall.
"Okay I understand," Robin said."Who are you on the phone with boy?" My father hissed standing in the kitchen doorway."No one umm bye Donna thanks for the homework" I quickly hung up the phone.
I quickly turned head and toe towards the staircase avoiding my fathers gaze.When I made it upstairs to my room Gwen was in it making bracelets with my bead kit.
Gwen looked up at me and smiled."I made you and Robin one, here"Gwen said, handing me two bracelets.
Finney's Boyfriend ♥️
Robin's Boyfriend💙
"Wow thanks Gwen"I said as I looked up at her."I'll give it to him tonight" Gwen tilted her head."I'm sneaking out to his house tonight. I need you to cover for me?" Gwen nodded.
"Thanks again for the bracelets-actually I got something for you too"I said going over to my closet.Gwens eyes lit up with excitement.Pulling out a box I pulled out two red ribbons for me to put in her hair.
"Well what do you think?"I asked as Gwen took the ribbons from my hand."I love them" I smiled."I can braid your hair now if you want?" I asked.Gwen sat down on the cushion again as I started putting her hair in two braids.
Putting her hair in the braids I tied the ends of them with the two red ribbons into bows.
