Dad is away for work right now and I'm all alone at home. Well...almost all alone at home because step-mom is here but it's not like she cares about me or anything. I look at the time and it's 8:56pm. OH SHIT! Dad is almost here from work and I still haven't made any dinner. I run downstairs to make something because I will be in huge trouble if I haven't made anything.
I quickly go downstairs and here I am in front of the counter frantically washing the rice and then boiling it. I then quickly took out the tsukemono that I prepared in advance thank god. Within five minutes, I put together the rice and lay out the table and did the dishes. Somehow, while doing one of the dishes, I drop one, shattering it into pieces. Oh no. I'm dead.
I heard footsteps and I slowly turned around, only to find my step-mom. Angry was an understatement! She was FURIOUS!
"I c-can explain-"
But I was cut off by a tight slap. I wasn't not used to it but damn that hurt!
She literally got a belt out of nowhere and spanked me over my clothes until my skin was a deep shade of red.
I noticed the smell of alcohol on her. Drunk or not, it didn't matter! She was always like this. She left after throwing the belt over the hook and saying what I think was a curse word.
The door opened a while later, revealing my tired father from work. I went and handed him a glass of water and he gulped it down before handing the cup to me and telling me to put it away.
I took the cup and tried my best not to whimper as I walked but I am just born with bad luck because my dad noticed it.
"Why are you whimpering and limping like that?" He asked me, raising an eyebrow.
"I-i just-"
"Tell me the truth, Ai! Did step-mom have to discipline you for something?"
I looked down and didn't meet his gaze, to which he stood up and gave me 5 sharp swats on the behind.
I hissed in pain and was almost in tears.
"Tell me the truth!" He scolded.
"I b-broke a glass-"
Another sharp swat.
"Lies! Nobody would ever hit somebody over something as stupid! Tell me the truth or I'll give you a 10 times harder discussion with my belt." He yelled.
His hits were never soft, so I lied, hating myself for it.
"I t-talked back about something. I'm s-sorry dad." I mumbled and he sighed.
"You're 11 Ai! When will you start acting your age?!" he yelled.
Changing the topic, he asked me to get him and step-mom's dinner upstairs and I went to go get it.
I entered their room and dad was in the shower while step-mom was busy texting someone and blushing. I didn't pay much mind to it but while I was putting the bowl on her side table I saw what she was doing from the corner of my eye. She was texting someone called "Axel sweetie".
Hmm. Maybe she had a brother? I didn't think much about it and just went to my room.
I quickly showered and got my stuff for school ready for tomorrow before making sure my dad and step-mom were asleep. I heard snores so both were asleep and then went into the attic.
Earlier that day, I had discovered a hidden compartment in the house and decided to explore it that night. I climbed onto the headboard of my small bed and pushed open the trapdoor in the ceiling. A small, pull-down ladder extended, and I carefully climbed up into the attic.
