"Wake up Paige!Wake up!"Slowly opening my eyes ,I adjust them to the light and the shaking I feel.
"What the fuck?"I run a hand over my face and look at the intruder of my dreams.Emily,that has a worried look on her face.I stand up,straightening my shoulders.
"We are going to be late!"She whisper yells.I immediately get out of bed and run to the bathroom.
"You only have 20 minutes!"She warns me.
"Wait,I'll go to the bathroom downstairs and you use this one."
"Thanks."She runs inside while I run outside.After taking a quick shower,I put on the clothes I grabbed.I applied some make up, and exited the bathroom.
"You need to pay the bills Tyler! This is the second month you didn't fucking pay!"I hear Laura yell.Oh no, they're fighting. My ears are filled with a sound of breaking.
"Leave me alone, NO don't touch me! Agrh!"No need for me to sit here and listen, so I run to the living room.The view I have is the one I never want my kids to see.Anyone's kids.
"You need to keep fucking calm."While holding her by the elbow he pulls her hair.No he has gone too far.
"Father stop, leave her alone."I try to untagle his fingers from her hair, but my intentions slip from my mind as they are replaiced by sharp pain.Fire stings my face as it turns numb.My knees betray me as they hit the ground.
"You stay out of this you bitch!"His voice brings chills on my neck as I tremble from fear.
"Why the fuck are you here?"There it is, his voice again.Before I start to cry, gentle hands grab me and pull me up.
"If you lay one more hand on her, I swear to God I will go to the police."Emily's voice automatically calms me.What is she doing here? If Taylor sees, he already fucking saw her, God knows what will happen.As I finally stand on my feet, I'm being pushed down again, falling on my back as he grumply bumps into my shoulder.After a smash, I know he exited the house.For the first time ever, I smel the sharp, lavander parfeum pull me into u hug.Altough my cheek hurts, I hug Lauren back, tightly.
"Thank you, I am so sorry.But don't ever expel yourself to the same danger."Lauren shocks me so badly, I think I am still sleeping.But the pain is still very present so I know it is not a dream.
"Why are you so nice towards me?"I separate the hug, as the warmth of it disappears into the cold reality.She bites her lip, and looks at the ground.
"Okay, uhm I was always mean to you because Tyler told me to be mean.He kept saying that I will leave him again, and you can't get attached to me.But I have always wanted children, very badly.I am so,so sorry."She sobs out,pulling me into another hug.Wait,He did all this?It is all his fault?Oh I want him dead.Laura is so nice and caring,jet here I was calling her names.She reminds me of my mother.They are kind of alike.Both with brown hair and eyes,looking at her like this reminds me of my mother so much.
"Uh,sorry to interrupt this,but we are late."Emily speaks up.I squeeze Mother one more time and smile.
"Don't worry about it.You are far too nice,it's his fault."Consoling her,I get up.She grabs my hand.
"You are not going to your first period looking like that.It'll turn in a bruise.Emily,I'll drop you off,but your not going to school today."Lauren wipes her tears away.Wait what?I have to go to school,I can't miss out.
"No way I'm missing school!"I argue."It's not that I want to go,but if I miss one day,and tomorrow come with a bruise on my face,how do you think that'll look like?"
Lauren looks at me,struggling with her thoughts.Her face lights up as she comes up with an idea,I suppose.
