One Hit One Kiss

Chapter 1





"Mom, I'm home!" I yelled, throwing my stuff down by the door.

Slipping off my blue converse I walked down the hall and straight to the kitchen. Her back faced me as chopping noises came from the huge kitchen knife she was using. Something was up, usually she would be all cheerful and happy when I came home from school, others not so much. So I knew exactly what was going on. Walking around the kitchen table I leaned against the kitchen counter, starring at one side of my moms face. She didn't do anything besides continuing chopping up the food.

"Mom, look at me." I said annoyed.

When she didn't respond I grabbed her wrist, holding it tightly, and turned her towards me roughly. The knife dropped out of her hand and on to the floor making little noises, ignoring it I looked up at her face and instantly one of my fist clenched.

"You can't keep letting him do this! As much as you love him you have to tell someone!" I was totally yelling at this point.

Every few days my dad would come home drunk, showing us he had a bad day at work. And like everyone says you need to let your anger out. Well the thing is my dad lets his anger out on my mom. Constantly she has been hit by him, but she won't leave him not once has she even tried. She really loves him and thinks he loves her to, but if it was love you wouldn't hurt that person your cared about so much. At this point my mom had a black eye, her once shinning green eyes was now a red swollen up eye. She looked horrible.

"Maya, let go and go to your room. I'll call you down when dinner is ready." She said faintly staring down at the knife that laid on the floor.

Rolling my eyes I stormed off upstairs to my room. Throwing myself onto my bed I threw out my phone and dialed up my best friend Sam.

"Hey girl what's up?" Sam boomed through the other end of the phone.

"It happened again." I said frustrated.

"Thats terrible, is your mom alright?" Sam asked concerned.

"He gave her a black eye! What is wrong with him?! I know he is my dad but seriously." I was utterly confused.

"Ok you totally need some air. Meet me at The Bridge, no questions asked. See ya there baby." Sam said happily before hanging up.

Sitting up I knew Sam was right, but I just didn't want to see my mom hurt. Jumping off my bed I headed to my closet, grabbed my Falling In Reverse shirt and blue cut skinny jeans. Changing quickly I pulled my wavy light brown hair into a messy bun, then took a peek in my mirror to check myself out. I looked cute and average, my green eyes sparkled as well as my shinning ear piercings, smiling to myself I slipped out my door. Walking down the stairs quietly I reached the front door, pulling my blue converse back on I looked over my shoulder and spotted my mom putting the food into the stove. Taking this as my chance to leave I opened the door and went on my way.

"See isn't this fun!" Sam yelled.

I was currently at The Bridge the one hot spot for everyone to party and just to rock out. At this point Sam and I were dancing like maniacs to Bullet For My Valentine Tears Don't Fall. I wasn't thinking about anything that was going on at home. Not my mom and not my dad.

"No it's amazing!" I yelled over the blasting music.

Sam smiled brightly, her long black hair falling over her dark brown eyes. Sam was so pretty, she was thin, she had curves, and she always looked her best. Tonight she wore her BOTDF shirt with rainbow jean shorts and lime green converse. To me that was perfection. Pulling Sam along with me we took a seat at one of the booths, both of us taking deep breaths, dancing really tired us.

After ordering two strawberry shakes and some fries we chilled for awhile. Talking once in awhile when we weren't singing along to our favorite songs.

"So when you planing on leaving?" I asked Sam taking a drink out of my shake.

"I don't know I'm staying for at least another half hour." Sam said dipping a fri into ketchup. "You?" She muttered.

"I think I might head out now. We've been here for at least an hour or two. I don't want to get in trouble." Standing up I stretched out my arms. "I'll text you when I get home. See ya."

Walking up my drive way I noticed the house next door was finally sold. There were no moving trucks there so ether the new people who live there are done moving or they haven't moved yet. It's been up for rent for ever, sucks to be the people who live there now, they have to put up with my family. Reaching my front door I steeped inside and took off my shoes once again.

"Where have you been? You missed dinner."

Startled I turned around and faced my angry dad. He easily over towered me, making me feel like a tiny bug against a big spider. I hate spiders. Scratching my head I stared at everything other than his eyes. I was in big trouble and I never got into trouble, ever.

"I was with Sam, I'm sorry." I said faintly, pretty sure he didn't hear me.

"Next time ask me before you go anywhere with anyone, okay?" He said sternly.

I nodded my head quickly then ran upstairs to my room. I sighed in relief, I guess I wasn't in deep trouble. Stripping out of my clothes, I jumped into my bathrooms shower. After cleaning up and brushing my teeth I pulled on my clothes, turned off my light, and hopped in bed. Texting Sam quickly I told her I made it home safely an that I wasn't in deep trouble like I thought. Setting my alarm I cuddled up with my stuffed panda bear, and soon dozed off.



My stomach was aching like crazy I couldn't sleep at all. Turning in bed I held my stomach, I totally regret skipping dinner. Fri's and a shake can't really fill up my stomach, saying I eat a lot would be judge mentally but it's kinda true, even if I do I have a thin body. Rolling off my bed I landed on the floor, I was going to get some yummyness in my tummy. But before I even stood up I began hearing yelling. Instantly I knew my dad was drunk yelling at my mom again. And just to make myself clear that's something I couldn't stand. Jumping up off the floor I walked down the hall to the stairs. Peeking down the railing I saw my mom crying on the floor, an my dads hand raised. Running down the stairs, almost tripping, I jumped in front of my mom.

"Stop!" I yelled, almost pleadingly.

My dad stared at me intently with a dark fiery glare, you could almost see the fire burning off of him. At this point I was scared of what he would do next. Never in my life has my dad looked so cold heartedly at me before. I felt like I was trembling.

"Maya go up stairs!" He roared.

I flinched, but kept my ground I wasn't going to let him hurt my mom anymore. Even of he is my dad and I love him, it just can't happen again. Turning around I looked at my mom, she looked bad, tears were falling down her face making her face red. Pulling her into a hug I let her lay on me, the least I could do was take care of her.

"Maya it's time you learn your lesson, you are old enough by now to get your own punishment!" My dad yelled with a slurred voice.

Looking up at him I was totally confused. What did he mean by punishment? Before I could reagester what he meant I was yanked up off the floor by my hair. I cried out in pain, releasing my hold on my mom. Hearing his deep laugh made tears come to my eyes, what was he doing? Kicking my legs and arms randomly I tried to get out of his grip. But he hit me? He hit me, hard. I cried out in pain, and fell to the floor. My mom was just as shocked as I was but she held something else in her eyes I couldn't read. Hitting me one more time, I knew I would have a bruise. I've never been hit before and especially not by my dad, what was I going to do?

"Now get upstairs I don't want to see you!" He yelled before taking a drink of beer.

Moving as fast as I could I stumbled up to my room. Closing the door quietly I fell on my bed and cried my heart out until I fell asleep again?
