Face it.

Chap. 5

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!"  My dad sneered as I attempted to sneak in
Taking a quick glance at his hand seeing a glass of which I think is gin. "I ASKED YOU A GODDAMN QUESTION BITCH!" He said slapping my face. I carefully looked at him trying not to show weakness. Ignoring the pain throbbing in my cheek.

"I was doing homework sir." I mumbled looking at my shoes knowing to much eye contacted meant a huge beating.  With a loud grunt my dad slammed his fist into my side, causing me to fall to the floor. Tears shining in my eyes as I slowly stayed in place scared to move.

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO ALWAYS BE HOME BY 5!" Glancing at the small clock with a crack in the middle of it seeing it saying in a small blueish color 6:30pm.

"Sorry I didn't realize.  Please leave me be. I'll go make dinner for you if, if you want" I asked head down still on the ground. 

"Hah. I don't need your shit of food. You better be home when I come back." He said. Looking at his leaving body and hearing the loud slam of the door shutting. Slowly getting up I picked up my stuff and run up to my room.

Walking past the normal door frame I step into my world, filled with music and bands and everything I love. In the far corner is a small bed but I don't sleep there. In my closet there is a small hidden door which leads to this room my dad doesn't know we have. In that room I hide my stuff.

Running into my paradise I stop dead in my tracks as I see the small window is open and the dude I saw earlier in my windowsill. What the fuck????

--jay--

I sat there looking at her. She was terrified. Petrified. Shit. I have no way to explain why I'm here. Fuckkkkk. "Look let me expla-" I was cut of by a scared girl covering my mouth with the most terrified look on her face. Did I do something?

"Shut the fuck up he's gonna hear you." She whispered her voice dripping with fear. "You need to leave....if he sees you here we're both dead." But I didn't move. I didn't want too. She's scared, she needs someone, someone to talk to and to keep her safe. And I wanna be that guy.

"No im not leaving" I whisper so she isn't scared even more. With that I glance over to her bed and quickly place her under the covers taking my shirt and jeans off leaving me I my boxers. I then crawl into bed next to her, taking her into my arms. All I could feel was her shaking. "It's all gonna be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you. I've got you."

-Mel-

"It's all gonna be okay. I won't let anyone hurt you. I've got you." He softly whispered. His voice calmed me. If only he knew it's not all gonna be okay. But right now it is, here in his arms I feel safe and protected. It's a new feeling for me actually. And I never want to loose this, I feel so loved and wanted and I trust a man I barely know.
