Chapter 1

*Gabriella's P.O.V*

I woke up on a Sunday thinking nothing could possibly go wrong.... But I'm always wrong.... I hear arguments everyday, morning to night. My dad abuses us around the house. Hitting, smacking you guessed it. It never stops. It all started when my dad lost his job and became an alcoholic. He has serious anger management that he cannot help. I thought that one day, he'd come to his senses and make a change. But of course, I'm always wrong.

I slowly got out of my bed and brushed my hair. Suddenly I heard glass shatter. I quickly ran downstairs to see if there was any damage to anyone, hoping that there was no harm done. But of course, I'm always wrong. Once I got down, I couldn't believe by what I saw. I saw my mum, lying in an awkward position with a pool of blood surrounding her. My dad on the other side was fine. He was raging, like full on raging. In his hand was a broken beer bottle

'WHAT DID YOU DO!?'

'So what does it look like I did? You worthless little piece of shit.'

'I'm calling the ambulance.'

'Oh no you don't, ungrateful bitch!'

He grabbed my arm and pulled me close. His breath stank of alcohol. I tried to break free, but every attempt, he would tighten his grip. I yelped in fear as my dad's hand was nearing my face. As his hand approaches to my cheek, fast. I suddenly heard a click at the door and my dads hand stopped and retreated. I suddenly look over at the door and there standing was my auntie

'Hey Gabby, have you seen you- Wh-wh-what is going on here?"

'I can explain...' My dad says in a calming voice.

'NO YOU CAN'T!' I cried as tears fall down my cheeks.

'Gabriella, come out with me.. I'll speak to you first.'

I silently walk out of my dad's tightened arms but pulls me back and whispers in my ear 'I'll finish you later.' And pushes me to the ground. I staggered to get up. My vision was starting to blur. I . I gained consciousness after a few minutes and got up to my feet and walked out of the house.

As I walked out of the house silently, I heard my dad muttering. I couldn't hear him but I only heard the word 'rape.' I suddenly tensed up and felt sick. I quickly headed out the house and got greeted by my auntie.

'So, sweetie.. Tell me what happened'

My auntie's soothing voice calmed me down. I took a deep breath and told her everything that happened in the last hour. She seemed a bit dazed when I was talking to her. Sometimes she would even ask me to repeat the last words I just said.

'Aunt! Are you listening to me?'

'Sorry... What did you just say?'

'AHH! Just forget it!'

I sighed in disbelief as no one would listen to me. I sulkily walked back into the house. The only person who would always listen to me is my mum. She loves me deeply but she can no longer be saved because of my father. I wouldn't even call him my dad. My dad got up from the couch and started to walk out of the house. He slammed the front door shut and I sat down on the couch nearest my mum's lifeless body.

'Reach for the phone.... Reach....for...the...phone...'

I jerked my head to see who spoke and I saw my mum open her eyes. I nodded at her and she smiled. I quickly ran to the  nearest phone in the house and started to call 000.

'Not so fast...Gabby'

I heard the voice that I didn't want to hear. I turned my head to see my dad and auntie in front of me. My auntie mouthed at me saying to drop the phone.

'I'm not letting it go! You guys treat me like shit! In fact the only person who loves me in this family is mum. I hate you all!'

My dad approached me, mad and grabbed me from my wrist. My dad immediately slapped me and I blacked out. My Auntie walked over and got out her taser gun and pointed it towards dad.

'Have you forgotten that I'm a Sergeant? Richard, LET GO OF HER!'

I'M NOT LETTING HER GO!'

I regained consciousness and kicked him where the sun don't shine.

'You little bitch. You'll pay for this.'

He grabbed my neck and strangled me. I was starting to suffocate. I shrieked in fear of what my dad would do next. I saw my aunt watch me as I was strangled.

'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?'

He started shaking me violently and my vision began to blur. My head began to drop and I suddenly blacked out.
