Finding A Home

Chapter 3

Ally and Stevie stare in confusion. Mostly because my dad was yelling homphopic things and also wondering why an of age women is living with her parents.

My dad was on his way toward the car and I yelled at them to drive away I'll handle. I'll explain later.

He grabs me and whips my with belt 20 times in a row. (Yes..I counted)
I fell off his lap and he kicked me. "You can't ever see those people again! The next time I see anything like that you're out of this house. Idc if you're my daughter. I can't have anything un holy in this house." My dad says. I look up to my mom just staring with a blank face. Like she'd rather see me be stoned.

I was bruised,both physically and mentally. Though mentally,I feel as if I've been shot. I was alone. I had no one to love me. All my friends were fake. Nothing but closed minded bible thumbers. At this point I'm asking myself if God exist. If there's anything to believe in.

The next morning as I lift my head from my tear stained pillow I reach for my phone. Questioning rather to call my sister.

I decided not to. She probably wouldn't answer anyway. After all, I never defended her. Not once. But how could I;I can hardly defend myself.

'Bzzz'
Message from Ally Hills

Ally:What was that all about last night? Everything okay?

Me:Well,my dad is a preacher. You can say I live in a homopbobic environment.

Ally:But aren't you gay? I thought I heard my gaydar ping. Stevie did too.

Me:I'm bi. But I'm not allowed to be. I'm not allowed to be an "abomination"

Ally:Why don't you just move out?

Me:Fuck. Well I'm not really 21. I'm 16. I have a fake I.D. and I look a lot older than I am when my hair is in a bun. I understand if you feel weird talking to me now. You see me as a baby. I'll leave you alone. I shouldn't bother you with my problems anyway.

Ally:Hey,stop that. Age is only a number kiddo. Besides,tonight you acted like an adult to me. Btw,why were you crying at the bar in the first place.

Me: My secret girlfriend,well, ex broke up with me. She was the only person I could go to. She was my best friend.

Ally: You have me now. I mean we only just met. But you seem like an amazing person. We're friends. Stevie thinks you're pretty cool too. She just thinks I have a think for you rn. Lol. Maybe that'll change when she finds out your 15 huh?

Me: Thank you. This means a lot.

Ally:Meet us at for brunch tomorrow?

Me:Yeah. That sounds great.

*thinks to self*
Omg. I got a ride home from THE Stevie Boebie and THE Ally Hills.
They want to hang with ME. They like ME. Maybe...maybe I can be okay.

*end of thought*
