Take me anywhere

2 years ago December

"Let's go somewhere" I say to carter on the phone

"Wouldn't get in the car with me and now you always want me to take you places" he chuckled

"I got used to your horrible driving and like going places so come get me" I stuck my tongue out even though he couldn't see it.

"I'll be there soon. And we will talk about my opinion on my driving"

"Thanks babes" I hung up the phone and pounded down the stairs to wait outside.

"Where you going slut?" My stepdad Rick poked his head through the doorframe from the kitchen.

"With Carter" I stopped sighing knowing this was goin to get bad. I could smell the alcohol on him "you've been drinking"

"Hell yeah I have!" He walks towards me slamming me against the wall. He leans in close and his hot wet breath tickles my ear "wanna drink with me?"

"Get off" I say cowering back into the wall "get off right now"

"Don't talk to me like that!" He hisses, spittle coating my cheek. He presses his lips against my neck and I start trembling. Not again. Not now.

"Get off!" I say a little louder. He bites my neck hard.

"I said shut up" he growl. I whimper too afraid to do anything. 

"She said get off!" Rick is ripped off of me and I see my brother holding him by the back of the neck. His twin sister Chloe frowns at Rick her nails digging into her hand.

"You sick fuck" she spits her tongue ring clicking against her teeth. "Connor teach him a lesson. Again" 

Connor drags Rick into the other room squirming. He was going to join the military when he turned 18 so he was really strong. Connor nods at Chloe before dragging him into the living room. Chloe comes to me and pushes my hair behind my ear

"You okay?" She asks her eyes darting across me scanning for marks.

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm alright" she might look hard on the outside but she was really a caring nurturing person.  She gave me a small smile her spider bites shined with her eyes and I was once again reminded why so many people like Chloe. 

"I'm sorry Mickey"

"It's fine. I gotta go. Charters waiting for me" 

I rushed out the door trying to keep the tears from falling. He did worse to Chloe i don't know why the little things he's done to me bother me so much. It's stupid. I hope in the car with Carter. I smile.

"You need your own car. The mustang just doesn't fit you" I tease him

"Okay you buy me a car or get me a job then we'll talk"

"Maybe one of Chloe's druggy friends can sell you one"

"Yes I will buy a car from a drug dealer" he said sarcastically

"Better than buying drugs" I shrug thinking of the ziplock Baggie of white powder I found in her room.

"So where do you wanna go?"

"I was thinking the mall or the park" 

"You always have ideas on where to go"

"If you don't know where you're going what do you have?"
