Fallen (Suicide Child Book 2)

There is a problem...

Scarlet walked down the bridge as it began to rain. She slowly turned her head to see Max being taken away to a "mental institute". She turned back and shook her head in sadness as a tear fell, casually she let them fall, everyone of them because for one nobody could see her and two nobody would tell anyway because it was raining. Scarlet gazed at the sky as stars began to appear. She still couldn't figure it out. Why was she here? She had no purpose when she was alive and still doesn't have a purpose now. She walked down to her grave. Scarlet didn't know why but she collapsed to her knees and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. Scarlet hated herself along with the world. She got what she wanted, death. But maybe what she really wanted was death for everyone who caused her pain, she wanted somebody to bomb the school and kill everyone.  Maybe just maybe that would happen. She doesn't feel like helping anyone. She feels so low even though she is already dead. Scarlet pulled herself up and walked down to Alexis's house. She was about to turn the knob but hesitated. Scarlet took a deep breath and and gently pushed open the door because it was cracked. Scarlet heard screaming in the back room. She quickly but hesitantly ran back there. There she stood in horror as she saw Alexis's parents screaming at each other and her dad would hit Alexis every once in a while or throw something. Alexis was nuzzled in the corner almost behind the door, the poor girl was terrified. "Stop, please! Just stop! Stop it!" Alexis yelled as gallons of tears were scurrying down her red cheeks. She was voiceless, the parents acted as if she wasn't there.  Then her father screamed at her "Shut up! You were a mistake!" he jugged a sip of beer then reached to the table in the corner for the lamp the threw it at her.  It broke in pieces and a piece cut her on the corner of her eye and a large gush on her cheek. "I'm sick of both of you!" he yelled to his wife and daughter as he swallowed to more gulps of beer. He pushed the wife to the floor, picked up one of the many empty beer bottles on the floor and threw it at her. It shattered leaving the wife with a cut on the chin, her hand (from blocking the throw), and forehead. He then kicked Alexis in the stomach leaving her to spit up blood. "Hahaha! That's what y-you get ya' little brat!" he screamed at her,obviously drunk. Alexis tried to help her mother but was kicked to the other side of the room by her father. "Ow! Th-that hurts d-daddy, I thought you loved me!" she said while holding her stomach. The father stared her down, then slapped her across the face leaving a large hand print. Scarlet then fell to her knees beside Alexis and held her. "I'll call an ambulance." Scarlet said. Before Alexis could speak her dad knocked her in the head with a bat. Alexis couldn't even respond. Scarlet got up and dialed 911 on the house phone. "Hello, this is 911. What is your emergency?" Scarlet answered, "Hi, i'm a neighbor of these folks and there seems to be lots of screaming and yelling. I am afraid for the daughter of these people. Please hurry, the address is 1310 Bridge lane."
