Mickeys P.O.V
It took extra-long to have my shower today. I would wince and whine and try to crawl away from the hot water every time it would touch my open flesh. Just like a puppy, I wanted to be left alone to lick my wounds.
After washing most of the blood so that you could see the damaged skin and scars beneath, I turned the water off and slowly hopped out of the shower. The slightest movement had my eyes welling up with tears and my head spinning from the burning pain shooting throughout my body. I don't know how I will be able to survive a day at school. The thought of being pushed or hit made me gag and screw my eyes shut.
"Why is my life so unfair..." I whispered brokenly, speaking to my own reflection in the mirror. I can't even see the boy I was years ago. He is hidden behind a broken teenager and will never come back out. I don't blame him though. He locked himself away years ago and hid from the world. He hoped for this life to be just a dream, and one day he would wake up with his happy family of 3... But even that had been taken away from him and his hopes and dreams filled with pain and nightmares until I was left. The broken remains of that happy boy.
Nothing will ever change. My life will always be the way it is now, and It's not fair. It really isn't fair.
I opened the bathroom door then limped and slowly made my way towards my room, flinching all the way. The stairs were the hardest battle and I almost gave up then and there after effectively pushing myself up the first two steps. I stopped to lean against the stair railings but then the snoring of my father echoed throughout the house as he lay sprawled out on the couch directly in my line of vision, and I sucked in a breath before climbing the rest of the way up the stairs.
Once I was back In the safety of my own room, which only consisted of a small pile of clothes in a garbage bag and a flickering ceiling light, I changed into my usual black attire and headed back down stairs to make my fathers break fest before he wakes up. Everything I did ached, throbbed and burned and I fought hard to hold in all of my sounds of pain.
It was going to be a long day.
