Tough love

Pain

Ch 3

I was at my doorstep about to unlock the doors and run straight to my room. The house seemed empty I didn't hear my dad anywhere so I just darted upstairs with Austin not far behind.

"Where's your dad at?" He looked at me with his beautiful brown eyes staring deep into mine.

"He's probably at work or something." I truly didn't care where he was at because I knew I'd be dead when he gets home.

"How about that homework then?" He smirked at me.

"Umm well I think I forgot my home work at school." I lied.

I already had finished it. I just needed an excuse for him not to come over.

"Oh so we have nothing to do." He laughed.

He probably caught on to my lame excuse to get him not to come over.

Then suddenly my face turned a pale white when I heard the door slammed from downstairs. Austin must have noticed because he looked really worried.

"AUBREY LYNN PRESCOTT! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"

"You have to go now." I whispered to him.

"W-whats wrong? Are you okay?" He asked really concerned.

"I'm fine. Just trust me you have to go." I whispered to him.

"I don't want to leave you tho."

"Just go. You can get out of that window and climb down the vine." I was holding back my tears. I was on the verge of breaking any minute.

"Okay." He nodded his head and went out the window.

I headed down stairs knowing what was about to await me at the bottom.

"Aubrey what the heck!" I jumped back like ten feet so he wouldn't hit me.

"You are such a mistake! You should've died with your mother!"

Those words stung and I was on the verge of tears. It brought back the memory of how my mom died.

*Flashback*

"Please just don't hurt her!" I saw my moms face filled with fear and I was just standing in the doorway. I wanted to help my mom but I was so little.

"Don't worry I won't." He smirked at my mother.

He was holding on to her by the head of her hair. She was yelping in pain and everytime she would say ow he would just hold her tighter.

"Get away from her!" I yelled through my tears.

He walked over to me and let go of my mom.

"No Kyle leave her alone! Please." She was now in tears.

"Oh I will leave her alone. Don't you worry."

I could tell he was lying. He took his hand and hit me across the face as hard as he could so i would stumble backwards out of the room.

Last thing I remember is hearing my mom scream and then a gunshot. I ran back into my room and saw my mom on the floor with a bullet to the head, and I knew she was gone. I lost my mom. Tears were pouring down my face and I didn't know what to feel I felt hurt betrayed. I lost the one person that was there for me and it was all because of him. My life was ruined. I have nothing to live for anymore.

*flashback over.*

He took his fist and punched me in the arm as hard as he could. I stumbled backwards trying to hold in my tears so he wouldn't hurt me anymore. I had to get out o this house away from him.

"I hate you." I mumble to myself.

"What was that young lady!"

"You heard me! I hate you!" I turned to run up the stairs but he grabbed me and pulled me back. He slapped me across the face leaving me on the ground clutching my face.

"Don't you ever say that again!" He said through clenched teeth.

I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut. I locked it so he wouldn't come into my room and try to hurt me again. I looked down at my arm and it was already starting to bruise. I threw myself down on the bed and just cried myself to sleep. I felt so worthless. It makes me wonder why Austin keeps wanting to hang out with me.
