PAIGE

(1) Tired

Paige POV
Its been two weeks since my grandmother died. She was always the peacemaker in my family. I have a weird family, we're very dysfunctional. My mom is really trying to be closer with the family, but she is being pulled away because of her job. Yeah, she works all day everyday, non stop. When she does come home she don't do nothing but sleep. So guess who i'm stuck with half of the time? My dad, he's crazy, I mean literally. He loves to play innocent even though he is really a drunk. I have no one anymore because my brother is in jail. I talk to him every other day, I plan on going to see him later on today. I miss him!
"Paige!", I heard my dad calling me, what could he want! I quickly got up off the bed while dragging my feet across the floor, " Yes? I'm coming". I went into the living room and there he was standing there with a beer in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing. Why?"
He gave me a evil look, "Get your ass over here"
I rolled my eyes, hopefully he didn't see that. I walked across the living room to where he was. He began to lick his lips as he turned me around to look at my body. With my mom not home, I couldn't ask for help. He then began to touch my shoulders and he made his way to my waist. I didn't want him to harm me, so I pushed him off of me.
"May you stop!"
He rubbed his head and put an evil expression on his sweaty face, "You tuff' now?", he began to laugh.
I quickly headed towards the door, but I was pulled away by his muscular arms. I screamed as he pulled me, he dragged me to my room, and he beat me senseless. I didn't even cry no more, I was just laying there letting it happen. His big boots going into my fat cheek bones and I felt my mouth bleed. When he noticed I was bleeding, he stopped, "Get yo' ass up! Go wash yourself up and get in the bed" . I got up and headed towards the bathroom as he walked away, "bet your butt want talk back no more you" . I was thinking about what just happened, how could someone who married my mom, and gave life to me treat me so wrong? I got in the shower, I let the warm water calm my now bruised body. I was planning an escape to leave this house. I figured i'll go stay with bestfriend Ari. That's my girl, we been friends since fifth grade. As I continued to think I began to exit the shower. I put the dry towel on my wet body and I looked in the mirror and saw that I had a busted lip and a bruise cheek. I put some alcohol and cocoa butter on my face and exited the bathroom. I put on my spongebob pajamas, with my tank top, and sprayed on my flower scented perfume. I placed my clothes and towel in the dirty clothes basket and went to go get an ice pack for my face. I noticed that my dad was sleeping so I quietly packed up some clothes to last me a week. I grabbed my phone and closed my room door. I called Ari, "hello?". Ari must've been sleep because her voice was very dry, "helloooo?"
"Hey bestfriend, what you doing?"
"Nothing, chilling. Wassup?"
" Can I stay with you for a couple of days? I can't take this no more."
"Sure, you know you can, what happened?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, I got to study, and go to bed. Love you."
"Alright, ill be there in the morning around 7:45 to pick you up, love you too"
I ended the call with Ari, I grabbed my language book, and began to study.
2 Hours later .....
I finally finished study and I grabbed my phone and put it on charger. I got up to pick out a outfit for school. Since it's cold I picked out some light-colored jeans, with a cute spongebob sweater that contained yellow and green in it, and I decided to pull out my black UGG boots. I placed my clothes on top of my iron board and got in the bed. To sleep I went.
