(A/N: this is based on the song Papercuts by Lucy Spraggan. This is my favorite song of all time so please listen to it. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE.Lyrics are in italic. could be triggering)
Brittany's dad was drunk yet again.He's had 6 cigarettes and 10 lagers. he was a voilent man anyway but drunk he was worse. Each slap and punch hurting more and more, the sound resonating through the room, bouncing off the walls. He showed no mercy. She heard sirens in the distance and prayed that they would come and help her.
The lies coming out of her dad poisoned the ears of the chubby police officer, the words sinking in to his tiny brain like water into sand. Her father was asked to leave and Brittany was called over to talk. "Miss you understand this was a serious accusation. your father loves you, he would never hurt you, he said that you just called the police for no reason. please don't make me remind you that calling the police for no reason is a serious crime. I will let you off with a warning this time but please don't do it again." Brittany's heart sank and the small amount of hope she had left flew out of her mouth when she said "The love he gives me makes me feel numb."
Belt buckle struggle everyday was getting harder. The metal hit her skin as she screamed, a scream of pure pain is a terrifying thing to hear, It is a very rare thing to happen because most of the time there is some fear laced in, Making the scream more bearable to listen to. Brittany wasn't scared, she was Hurt. She had nothing to live for anymore, each day she would find some motivation to not give up.
Each time she was alone memories replay and they stole her hope of all the happiness she felt when she was younger. She used to smile and skip and jump, there was no reason for her to be sad because everything was right. This was before her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The whole family cried together. Cancer was a horrible thing and it shouldn't exist. Brittany was 10 when Her mother died and that was the last time her dad said i love you. She remembered it like yesterday, Her dad was tucking her into bed and he had said, "Britt, remember I will always love you." She had replied with. "Forever and always." She had come home the next day and her dad yelled that it was her fault. and that Brittany should of never been born. She shivered at the memories. Brittany had believed everything that had been said.
Her dad was at the pub. she knew this day would come and that she'd be alone. She breathed in and fell to the floor. Heart beats slow, tears flow, last breath. empty bottle on the floor as her eyes roll back. And there's a door slam unknown footsteps, she hears her name as her hand hits the light switch. Hand on her chest as she hears them say;
Mine are the hands you can trust. scars from a time you were lost. slowly the blade turns to rust. Remember these aren't your fears, they're just Papercuts.
painfully her eyes opened to see a brunette crouched over her with tears brimming in eyes as blue as the night sky. She wondered who it was and why she was here. she didn't want saving. Her eyes closed, she breathed in, sirens were heard as Brittany breathed out. this was it. she is going to die now and she had no regrets. The last thing she felt was the the small brunettes body fall against her, shaking with sobs.
Brittany had no regrets.
And it's all over now
There was no pain to be felt, there were no harsh words to be heard.
it's all over now.
