Help Me Help You

Chapter 2 - Boo you, whore

     The dreadful school day came to a close and the new chapter of the day was about to start. The final bell rang, making me raise up from my desk and hurry out the door. I quickly went to my locker, fumbling with the combination. It finally opened, I grabbed all the stuff I need for homework, and rushed out of the school. I looked around me, everyone was still inside the building conversing. I would kiss my brother and sisters goodbye but, my dad would kill me if I wasn't out of the school on time. I gave a sigh of relief until I saw my dad waiting.

 "Oh boy." I whispered to myself as I approached his car. I opened the door to the back seat when he yelled at me.

  "Get in the front!" He yelled. I jumped a little and quickly closed the door. I obeyed and opened the front door, sitting in the seat. As I closed the door, my dad waved to the principal who was standing in front of the school, smiling. I put on my seat belt as he drove off. 

 When we were a fair distance away from the school, he grabbed my ear, ringing it, making me wince in pain. "What did I tell you about being in front of that school at 3:05?" He yelled his nasty breath penetrating my poor nose.

  "School ends at 3:05!" I said. He rolled his eyes and pushed my head, hitting against the window. 

  Once you see my dad, you would swear to God that he didn't act like this. He worked in the Navy since he was 19 and continued that until he reached 30. After serving, he worked at the county prison as a correctional officer (which makes him a lethal weapon but not that the state cares). At the time, he was able to retire due to the fact he stole all of my mum's money. Now he is leaving the sweet life of luxury for what? Nothing! He doesn't do anything and he is a lazy crack addict! And who doesn't notice? The court who is in charge of everything!

  I groaned and leaned against the car door. "What did you say?!" He yelled. I shook my head.

  "Nothing, Dad." I told him. He growled and punch my shoulder, hitting my pressure point. I squealed in pain as I grabbed onto my now swollen shoulder. He laughed and reached over, opening my car door. My eyes widen at the crazy man.

  "Jump." He said. My eyes stared at him in horror as he started to get angry. "I said jump!" He shouted. I looked straight ahead and saw a Sheriff's car. Dad saw it too and quickly changed his attitude. His face turned to worry, as if he was about to cry. The car started to slow down as we approached the car.

  "Naomi, please!" He cried. "Please don't do this!" He shouted, fake tears falling down his face. The sheriff swiftly jumped out of his car and ran to us. I looked at my 'dad' confused. The sheriff came in view. 

  "What is going on here?" He asked.  He wore the typical police outfit with some dark shades and a hat with the county on it.

  "M-My daughter tried to commit suicide." He 'wept'. My jaw dropped at his words. What. The. Actual. F***. Is this B**** serious? Excuse my censored French. I slumped back into my chair, and folded my arms.  I watched intensely as the con artist did his work. Literally at the moment, I just wanted to grab his bald head and punch the living day light out of him! Sound too harsh? Well you obviously don't understand what I half to deal with.

  After Dad finished with all the dumb crap he had to say, the Sheriff looked at me and gave me a warning finger. "You are a beautiful young lady, don't throw your life out like this." He said, I nodded and gave a small smile. At least someone called me beautiful even though it was a strange mid aged man.  "Don't give your dad any more trouble, aye?" I forced myself to nod my head, a fake smile plastered onto my face. "Because if you keep this up, you would end up in the crazy house, you wouldn't want that now, do you?" He asked, lowering his glasses, giving me a strangely familiar smirk. My face fell straight. No F****** Way. Mum's ex-boyfriend, Niall. God, I hated his guts so much. When my mum went to drop off Kaitlin, McKayla and Logan off to their after school activities, Niall himself would give me some after school activities that I totally did NOT want to participate in. Like if I wasn’t getting enough violation from Dad’s house, when I came to Mum’s I had to deal with my ‘future step daddy’. God, good thing she broke up with him because of her job. With his faded blond hair, built body and piercing blue eyes made my mum get the idea of the crazy house from him!
