Unwanted. Broken. Abused

Chapter 10

<Hope's p.o.v>

I was shaking after my experience with Xavier and Blake.

They almost found out, though they're probably way more suspicious now.

I had only gotten myself into more trouble.

I checked the time again;

3:55pm.

Dammit.

I had to get back home quickly.

I practically ran home then.

When I did get back home, Harvey was snarling.

"Ah, just the person I've been waiting for. Would you care yo explain to me why you BUNKED OFF SCHOOL AND RAN OFF SOMEWHERE?!" My eyes widened.

No, no, no.

How did he find out?

I just stood there in the doorway shaking while he bore his eyes into me.

At that moment, I wished the ground would open up and swallow me whole, then I wouldn't have to go through the pain Harvey was surely going to give me.

I bit my lip, and Harvey dragged me inside by the ear.

This time, though, he didn't take me to the basement.

Instead he sat me down on the couch.

I frowned up at him before all hell broke loose.

He screamed and pulled me up and slammed me so hard against the brick wall. Then he kicked me in the shins.

"YOU... USELESS... GIRL.." He said, in between kicks.

"YOU... SKIP... YOUR... EDUCATION AND.... THINK.... YOU... CAN GET.... AWAY... WITH... IT." I cowered back from him.

He was scaring the shit out of me.

I just took the kicks and punches and head-slams.

Then he finally let go of me and I crumbled to the floor in a puddle of my own tears.

He thrust me up again, and grinned a sickly grin.

He put his arms like a cage around me and knocked me in the jaw. I bit my lip to keep from screaming.

He chucked me down back onto the floor again and kicked my head in.

Again.

And again.

And again.

* * *

He finally stopped kicking and just stood there, taking deep breaths.

I curled into a ball on the floor, a shaking mess of tears.

My life was so fucked up. I just want to die.

I want to fucking die.

But I can't. As long as Harvey has cutordy over me, I am stuck in this whirlwind of tortures.

Then Harvey kicked my side, relatively hard.

"Oi, I'm going out for a while. Don't expect me back soon or anything."

I bit my lip and nodded.

I knew what this meant.

Harvey was going to go out, and bring home one of his mates.

They would try to... touch me.

Harvey stormed out, and I was left alone in the filthy house.

I picked myself up, and limped to my bedroom.

I collapsed on my bed.

I couldn't feel safe.

I never did.

I fell asleep, awaiting the horrors that were arising with the morning.
