Warning: Depictions of abuse!

[1ST PERSON POV]

It was another.. normal morning I guess you could say.

Wake up, brush my hair and teeth, make breakfast, and then chores...

I grabbed my cross necklace off my nightstand and went down the hall and into the bathroom.

I put my hair in a ponytail and brushed my teeth.

"Y/N COME DOWN HERE AND MAKE BREAKFAST RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!"

"Sorry dad, coming."

I put my cross necklace on and clip it loosely around my neck.

"Lord give me strength today..."

I walk downstairs and into the kitchen where my dad is sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

"Where is mom?"

He just looked at me and gave me a piercing glare.

"Sorry.. what would you like to eat?"

He cleared his throat and looked back down at the newspaper.

"An omelette, toast, bacon and coffee, you know how I like it."

I nodded and got to work on his food, my mom taught me to cook but lately she has been working overtime because my dad is "sick" and she feels the need to take care of him.

I wish I saw her more because she actually loves me, she isn't like that monster at the table.

"Can you cook any slower you slutty bitch."

He always calls me a slut because I like to wear tank tops and shorts.. but recently I have been covering up more because his insults are really getting to me.

"Sorry dad I'll try and go quicker."

"Stop apologizing and do as you're told."

"Im sorry-"

"What the fuck did I just say."

He got up from the chair and rolled up his newspaper.

"Please father I'm trying as hard as I can."

He made his way over to me and looked me in the eyes, he was way taller than me and it's intimidating.

"Next time do as you are fucking told!"

He hit me with the newspaper over and over.

What was minutes felt like years of all the abuse I've ever received.

"Please, stop!"

Tears filled my eyes as he continued hitting me with the hard, rolled up newspaper.

"Stop crying you fucking pussy."

I held in my tears as he hit me one last time and finally pulled away.

"You made me ruin my newspaper just to show you some discipline."

I just looked away and continued cooking his breakfast, when I finally put it on the table I moved quickly into the bathroom and locked the door.

I broke down into tears as soon as I looked in the mirror.

"God.. what did I do to deserve this.."

I looked up towards the skylight in the bathroom silently cursing god for every bad thing that has ever happened to me.

"Why is he so cruel to me, I've always been kind, I've always done the right thing... why.."

It's hard to understand why God has always turned his back on me, I have always been a saint... is that not enough.

I guess it doesn't matter if you are a sinner or a saint, you will always just be another human not worth paying attention to.

"Fuck you."

I wiped my tears and headed to the closet where all the cleaning supplies was stored.

I guess you can say I'm living a Cinderella story in real life...

Its not as happy as it looks because there is no happy ending in my fairytale, there is no prince waiting for me.

I only have Percy who is kind of like my mice, but he can't help me in the end.

My mom is kind of like my fairy godmother, but she can't magically give me a better life.

"START FUCKING CLEANING, THE FLOOR WONT MOP ITSELF Y/N!"

"Yes father."

I started by mopping the floors and then dusting, I also wiped down the window and anything glass in the house.

It took me 5 hours to complete it all because father wants it sparkling clean.

He refuses to do the housework because he "owns" it, I call bullshit.

Me and my mother get overworked every day because of him, my father had a great childhood.. I don't know what went wrong.

I heard the front door unlock.

"Mom!"

I ran to her and hugged her as tight as I could, I'm just glad that I have her to end my day with occasionally.

"Hi honey, how was he today?"

I knew she meant my father, it makes me sick that she has to ask that question all the time.

"I got hit a few times.. yelled at, but nothing too bad."

She gave me a sad smile and kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry I have to leave you with him all the time sweetheart but.. he's sick and I cant afford him dying on us."

"But he doesn't pay the bills you do.."

"I know honey but he owns the house and the mortgage is payed off.. my money wont pay for a new one."

I nodded and pulled away from the hug.

"I wish I could be with you more, I know nothing can make up for you having to grow up so fast because of him.."

Tears formed in the corners of my eyes...

"Don't apologize mama it's not your fault."

She looked into my eyes regretfully, her eyes were a beautiful m/ec (mom's eye color).

"I wish I could love you the way I want to baby."

"You don't have to mama, I know you love me but you don't have to spend time with me to show it."

"One day i'll make up for everything."

One day...

Just a little blast from the past, if you are confused on what's happening in this chapter it's just going into more detail of what Y/N's childhood was like.
