Living with 5SOS

"Shut up slut! Why did I deserve to get you as a daughter?! What did I ever do wrong?!" My father yelled. Kicks flew into my ribs with every few words as I sobbed. I curled up in a ball as he kicked me.

"Daddy! No!" I screamed as he took off his belt. He rose his arm up in the air.

"Mama! Mama help! Please!"

WHACK! "Put her over the back of the couch." My fathers voice  growled.

My mothers arms scooped me up. "You fat peace of lard!" She laid me over the back of the couch and smacked my butt as hard as she could with her small hand.

I whimpered in pain, but knew it would be nothing compared to what I would get from my father.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

I screamed in pain as he attacked my poor bum with the belt. It would leave horrible bruises later.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

I was thrown to the ground and kicked again. I reached my hand back to feel my butt was bleeding. I got up, struggling, and crawled into my room.

Only to find my mother. "Hello sweetie." She said in an evilly sweet voice. "I didn't get enough of you."

She grabbed a metal bat and swung it at me.

My eyes shot open.

I felt beads of sweat drip down my forehead.

I'd learned long ago not to scream when I had nightmares, or they would become reality.

I closed my eyes but flashbacks of the dream met me every time I did.

After about half an hour, I got up and went into the hall. I found a bathroom and washed my face.

A clock in the wall said it was 3:02.

I whimpered, knowing I wouldn't be able to get to sleep again.

I walked back into the room I slept in and sat on the bed.

After a few minutes I walked to the window and opened it, breathing in the fresh air.

I closed the window and lay in the bed again.

Slowly my eyes closed.

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!
WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

"AGGGHHHH!"

My eyes snapped open again.

"My rooms right across the hall, just come in if you need anything."

I didn't want to bother him or wake him up, but I absolutely couldn't sleep.
