SELENAS POV♡
Towards my right I saw a plate of mash potatoes and meat with fruit, towards my left was pizza & salad, I wasn't in the mood for nothing, I just let the person behind me step front, I walk to a table and sit thinking why my dad hates me so much like he did.
I pull out my phone, checking my messages and nothing was there, then I see my friend, Emma. She sat down across me, she knew, and I can tell, that something was wrong, but I just didn't speak so she had to start the conversation.
"Selena, what did he do now? this can't keep happening! What did I tell you? tell someone it's not ev-"
I sighed, giving a deep breathe. "I know, I know. "It's not even hard" well that's what you think. I'm scared to ask my dad for water, that's how much of a monster he is. You think I'd have the guts to tell someone? the only person is you. My poor little sister gets beat and she's only in third grade, it is hard."
She looks down, patting my hand, and I can see the pitty in her eyes.
"Alright, ok. It's just not okay, he's your father not some guy who pushes you around, it's been already 2 years. I've kept my mouth shut but I'm afraid I can't no longer. I'm sorry."
I turned red, my nerves acted up, and flame rose up my body to my forehead I can feel myself getting scared.
"Please! No! I'll try!! I swear! If you tell someone my dad can get arrested and I'll be screwed! He'll kill me even more inside! You can't! If you do my dad will get arrested and my mom will do no good alone, my dad dosent even help her, so many debts to pay and bills but she gets paid little! Please, give me some time, it's already hard your gonna make it worse."
She sighs, looking down, "look I don't want to get you worried, your my sister, like my sister! I won't hurt you, but I can't keep seeing you like this. But tell me, what happened this time."
I thanked her, sighing in relief.
"It's just, my mom, she's the most prettiest most caring gentle woman I know, my dad, I don't know-why did she marry him? There's a story behind it that won't get out of my moms throat because she's afraid to tell me, I'm just so pitty to be the same blood with a man who treats the girl he Marrys like crap and dosent care. My mom struggles with depression everyday knowing she dosent have money to pay bills, I can't work thinking about it."
I can see the sadness come out of Emma's eyes, I can tell she felt horrible.
"That's-that's so wrong, I hope your mom gets well soon, I'm sure she's strong, your moms amazing, something good will happen. Just wait."
I smile.
Later that day.. 2:55pm DISSMISAL
"Okay class, make sure to study pages 122-135 for tomarows history test, don't do fool things and study! Your dissmissed, have a good afternoon!"
"Hey Selena, I have a dentist appointment! I'll text you after! See yah! And be careful at home please."
I nodded "alright, thank you."
As the class left, I came closer to the door until Ms.Gilbert ordered me to stay for 5 minutes to talk.
I went to her desk, "yes Mrs.Glibert?"
She smiles, "Look, I've been wanting to talk, your excellent in class, your brilliant, but there's a problem, you've been having a werid, idk just a werid fase this week, you've wanted a break yesterday two times, you were late to class today, you even forgot to fill out your math homework sheet for Mr.H on Tuesday! What's wrong? That's very unexpected from you, can I help with anything? If there's a problem, you can always tell me."
My heart sank, she noticed me acting werid, Because of my mom with depression and my father abusing me and my sister, that's why, but I couldn't say that. I had to make something up.
I sigh, "It's just family problems, it's tuff for my mom to pay bills now, and it's just been on mind lately, that's all, but I'll try, I'm sorry, it's just, somethings get to you.."
She sits, telling me to sit down next to her, I could feel tears trying to pressure out of my eye balls but I gulped and held it back, I can't cry, I can't show her I'm hurt, ugh I hate my dad so much. This is what he causes, that stupid jerk.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm hoping you'll improve, and I hope your mom gets okay, just try to focus. Ok? Have a good afternoon, see you!"
I talked then left, I bet my dad is gonna be yelling already once I open the door.
I walked up the three steps and took out my keys, opening the door and closing it only to find my sister watching Princess movies and my mom on the phone with a bunch of papers stacked, I didn't hear or see my dad, thank god.
My mom smiled, and held the phone away, "Hey honey! There's some Burger King that I managed to buy with my tips, eat up, love you gal"
I laughed, God I loved it when I came home to food, my mom looked happy, that made me happy, I took out the Burger King bag and sit down on the chair next to the Window and eat.
Then bangs hit the door like tornados, pressured ones, I gasped, my mom said bye quick, she ran and took out the plate of food, she cleaned it up and the door banged harder, she ran, and opened the door.
My dad.
He grabbed my moms hair pulling it, I start getting anxiety, my sister runs to my arms crying, while my dad pulls my moms hair to the couch.
"Nasty pig, what took you so long to open the god damn door son of a-"
I could let my mom get hurt another time for the millionth time.
So I went in.
"It was me, mom was in the bathroom and I was the one who let you bang then mom came and told me why didn't I open it, it was me."
My mom thanks me, telling me why I blamed myself.
He runs to me taking off his belt.
As I cry in fear.
