No Regrets
Chapter 1
Uncomfortable silence filled the air as I lay trembling under my bed, fearing that my drunk father will barge into my room at any giving moment. Hearing his large footsteps, against the wooden floors coming closer and closer to my room, I tightly close my eyes and hold in my breath silently praying to this so called god to help me. As my bedroom door slowly opens, I winced hoping that he would just leave me alone for once.
Unfortunately, I can now see his feet from where I am hidden and his next words kill the silence,”Ambreh, you whore come out here now!” He slurred. My father came home late and drunk as usual, while I was sitting down and watching TV. He came over to me and started touching me. I tried pushing him off me, but he kept his weight on me. With all my strength, I kneed him towards his man parts. As he was in his state of weakness, I quickly ran upstairs and hid under my bed like a wimp. I knew that if I stayed downstairs, his fist would have ended up on my face like every other day, leaving a big ass bruise. After waiting for about ten minutes, I slowly and quietly push myself out from under the bed. This was it, I thought, I’m not going to keep up with his bullshit any more.
I grab my purple backpack and throw in everything I need to run away with. I was just about to close the zipper of my backpack when I see the picture of my beautiful mom that hung over my bedside table. Her dark, brown, hair flowing down her back in perfect curls and those gentle green eyes of hers staring back at me. I was three years old when my mom left me and my father. My father will always blame our misfortune on my mom’s abandonment, but I knew that my mom had a good reason to leave. At a time like this I just wish that she would have taken me with her, instead of leaving me with the devil that I call father. A loud, booming, noise brought me back to the present. I grab my wallet , pull on my leather jacket, sling my backpack over my shoulder and open my bedroom door. I run downstairs hoping that my father will be somewhere else, and as I’m already reaching for the door knob, a hand grasps a hold of my hair, tugging me back. “And where do you think you’re going?” said my father. The stench of alcohol in his breath making me want to puke on his sad excuse of a face.
“Leave me the fuck alone!” I bawled, while pushing his hand away from my hair. He found this rather amusing and started laughing. Then all of a sudden, he slaps me across the face and I end up falling on my ass. His eyes show pure anger towards me, while he takes another step toward me, I stand up and bring my fist up to his face. Hitting him didn’t even phase him because he abruptly hits my stomach. The pain causing me to double over and groan, ”Look, you’re not leaving me like your mom bitch!” He yelled. While, I’m laying on the floor helplessly, he starts kicking me on my legs, thighs, and arms. Suddenly, he stops and leaves the living room. I can now feel the bruises forming all over my body. I start to gently move my legs, but fail miserably as the pain shoots out. “Oh fuck.” I mumbled to myself. My father then comes back into the room with a bottle of beer in hand, he kicks me once more on my stomach and places himself on our couch while I’m here laying in pain on the floor. “You should really get up from the floor, sweetie its cold.” He said with a smirk plastered on his face. Fuck, I just feel like ripping his fucking head off! Whoa, my hands feel all tingly all of a sudden, I guess it’s because I’m hurt. “Fuck off.”
