"I told you, Peter, I can't come to your party." I tried to explain to my best friend.
"It's my 10th birthday, double digits, it's important that my best friend is here to celebrate with me."
"I'm sorry it's just I really have to do something tonight." I say.
"Okay I guess I'll just see you later then." He said as he walked away.
The rest of the school day went by as a blur to me though I continued to feel bad for bailing on Peter like that but I'm already grounded, as I am all the time. When I got home I sprinted to my room hoping that dad hadn't heard me come in but yet again I was wrong. When I turned around he was there, in the doorway of my room with a belt in hand saying,
"I never wanted you, you're just a worthless little girl not even useful."
He swings the belt hitting me in the back 2....3...4 times. He finally stops after 10 and then tells me to fix dinner and go to bed, but this time out of reflex, what I've been holding back for years, I hit him but when I do I can't stop he starts screaming but I still can't. Then as I thought it could never get worse he stops breathing and everything seemed to stop, I never meant to kill him I just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine but now it's over and I am the killer, worse than my father and for that I couldn't forgive myself. Scared, I called Peter he was the only one I thought would under stand, but once again I proved myself wrong.
