I Never Knew

Prologue

Kate POV

52.

That's how many kicks in my stomach, slaps on my face, and punches in the gut that I had to endure today. I count the many times it happens so that I can take my mind off of the pain and suffer.

My name is Kate and I have been abused in all ways you can think of when it comes to abuse. Sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and verbally. It really hurts sometimes but most times I get used to the pain and I can only feel the aftermath.

I hurriedly wash the rest of the dishes before my dad comes home. If he sees me standing here and not finished with my chores he'll take off his belt and tells me to bend over to receive my whips. He then tells me to wait in my room for him. I can't disobey him because I'm to scared of how hard he will do it while violating me.

In two weeks time I'll turn 18. And in two weeks time I will finally get out of this hell hole I call home and get my own apartment far, far away from my parents. When I'm on the top of the stairs I hear the doorknob jiggle and I hurriedly run into my room to pretend I'm sleeping.

I hear him walking up the stairs and I hold my breath when I see his shadow pass my room. When he goes to his room I let out a sigh of relief and snuggle into my sheets before slipping into a dreamless sleep.

I wake up to hear my doorknob jingling and my heart races with fear.

I look at my alarm clock to find that it's 2:37 in the morning.
Why me? Out of all the people in the world its me. And that's what I don't get. I'm the most sweetest person that you will ever find. I am in the top of my classes, I help people out and I do what's right. What did I do to deserve this type of...lifestyle? I'm disturbed from my thoughts when I hear my door creak. I hurry and close my eyes and even out my breathing before he catches me awake.

I lay there quietly for a good three minutes before the door closes and I hear him walk to his room. Letting out the breath I didn't know I was holding I fell back into my deep slumber.

The next morning I wake up before my alarm and rush to get ready for school before going downstairs to make their breakfast. They would hate it if I woke them up too early and I will not let what happened last time to happen again.

After I make their food I grab my bag and leave the house before they wake up. As I walk to school I daydream about my future. My future away from them.

I can't wait to leave this retched place.
