Hurting

It's my ninth birthday in a week, I'm really excited. I still haven't said a word since mummy left, I don't know why I just can't get the words out. Mummy's been gone for a long time now and I'm quite certain I won't see her again. Daddy hasn't stopped drinking his special drink and he's getting meaner and meaner. He's almost hit me lots of times but I'm to scared to tell anyone. Today when I came home after school in year 3 daddy was what Paige calls "drunk" again. She was at work and daddy seemed really angry. I went to walk to my room to put my bag away but the daddy suddenly punched me. I fell to the ground and hit my head on the table. He sarted screaming but I only heard some of it. I heard "STUPID LITTLE BITCH YOUR JUST LIKE YOUR FUCKING MOTHER, JUST FUCKING SAY SOMETHING ALREADY BECAUSE ITS GOING TO GET ALOT FUCKING WORSE". I started crying lots and daddy kept hurting me and he pulled my hair really rough and dragged me into the kitchen. I think he was going to put the fire on the stove on but Paige came through the door and freaked out. She was screaming yelling and I don't know what else, I passed out and there was lots of blood and later I woke up in hospital. I think Paige carried me here. She started talking quietly to me and I asked where daddy was. She was really surprised I said something the quietly said the police locked him up in a jail. She got out her book and wrote

It's funny how your nice to my face
It's hilarious you tried to do shit behind my back
And it's down right commercial you think I wouldn't find out

I don't understand.

I love her
