Sophomore year

Chapter four (4)

the rest of the day was okay, i skipped lunch wasn't really feeling it. wasn't all that hungry.

i decided to walk home because well its faster and today i can just feel that my dad is drunk and when hes drunk and i get home "late" aka going home on the bus. then i get yelled at, not to mention his "significant other's" are probably going to be there. aka who he cheated on my mom with. hes done it for years now. The first time he did it

i was like...7 maybe? i didn't know what was going on so i just passed it off as no big deal. its getting out of hand now. I finally got home. my dad wasn't home yet. probably still at a bar. i walked inside, a soothing aroma of cinnamon and brown sugar filled my lungs. "wow, that smells so good!" i looked around...what the hell? it was all our furniture, but...rearranged... i continued walking..."ahhhhh" i screamed and ran to my room and locked my door. who was that woman? was i just seeing her or...was she actually there. i slowly unlocked my door and crept out. the aroma of cinnamon and brown sugar was still in the air... that's definitely there... i walked down the hall and looked around the corner into the kitchen...all the dishes were clean and put away. then i saw a girl dancing in a over sized shirt, dancing and putting cookies onto a plate. she turned around.

"oh, i didn't see you there. Would you like a cookie? i just baked them." she said with a smile on as she started on a new batch from a big bowl about half empty. i slowly walked up and sat down on the counter.

"who are you?" i asked quietly.

"oh, you're dad hasn't, told you about me? that's surprising...i'm here all the time. you know, chasing girls out of your room. you should really stop bringing them home... to have that many is really unhealthy." at this point in time i was really confused. i raised my eyebrow "those aren't yours are they?" she said this with a sad tone. i simply shook my head. "yeah i thought they were a little old for you."

"you didn't even comment on the fact I'm a girl? i mean i do like girls but... shouldn't that have given you a hint?"

"you know, i don't judge. you can like whoever you like. "

"well. that makes one person" i said under my breath.

"what was that?" she said

"i didn't say anything."

"it sounded like you did but i guess i'm wrong."i really liked her, she was just like my mother. nice, pretty, no not pretty, beautiful. But yeah one more thing...cheated on. my mom died about a year ago in a car crash. Yes my mom was cheated on a lot. just like her.

"I'm sorry about my dad."

"eh...its fine really i didn't really think this was going to last. just wished i was wrong."

she finished baking the cookies and changed. she was wearing a blue summer dress with black flats. her hair was in a pony tail. "Before you go what is your name?"

"My name is Lilly ,yours?"

"Aiko"

"well it was nice to meet you."

"you too."

*10 hours later*

My dad was finally home. I was in my room listening to music I had already cleaned everything.
*bang bang bang*
I heard something through my earbuds.
*bang*
*bang bang bang*
It sounded like gun shots. I crept out of my room. There my dad was in the middle of the room refilling the ammunition to his pistol. I guess he heard me because he looked straight my way. He put the two pieces back together and pointed his weapon at me.
" w-what a-are you d-doing?"i managed to stutter out. Without a blink of his eye he pulled the trigger. I saw it coming so I ducked it just grazed the top of my head, I could feel blood oozing from the newly formed wound. I ran to the door and down the tall flight of stairs. I couldn't believe it...he was going to kill me!!! I mean I knew he didn't like me but I didn't think he would kill me!!!

I was finally outside and running from the scene so that I wouldn't actually die...when put in this scene even if you want to die your natural instinct is to run.

There was a house just down the road I ran too.
*knock knock knock*
*knock knock knock knock knock*
I continued to knock as loud as I could. Nothing happened. I was going to die. I was going to die on the porch of some persons house. I could see my dad running after me from a little down the road. Still I knocked. Harder and louder. NOTHING!!! Finally a young man about the age or 17 opened the door.
"Damn lady what the fuck do you want!!! I'm trying to watch a movie over hear with my friends" Before he could finish friends I pushed past him and slammed the door shut.
"Thank you. Oh my God you don't know how grateful I am for you." I hugged him around the neck though it seemed like he was like a foot taller then myself. I had to stand on my tippy toes.
Just then a loud bang rung through the room. he was about to get it but before he did I stopped him. "No. Don't get that. Its my dad he's trying to kill me!!! Don't. Please don't answer that door!!! "
He moved his hand away slowly then I heard my dad calling me from outside " Aiko you better get your ass out here right fucking now I'm not playing your games anymore!" I locked all the locked on the door before he tried to open it. I looked around. All he's friends were sitting on a long couch watching the ba ba dook playing.
"you're bleeding?!"

"yeah no dip Sherlock..."I'm naturally a bitch...oops" ugh I'm sorry, can i use your bathroom?" 

he then pointed down the hall "first door on your left"i got the bleeding to stop, from what i can tell i dont have a bald spot but i could be wrong.i walked back towards the living room

"Oh come on guys really?You're still watching that movie? It sucks!"

"Hey, I like it" said the boy who answered the door, then all his friends nodded their head in agreement. I just shook my head

"whatever." just then the banging from my dad stopped. I looked through the pie hole. No one was there.
"Okay he's gone you can leave now."
" haha that's funny you actually think I'm going out there!" I laughed to myself and sat down on the couch. One of the boys had a bucket of popcorn and I gladly took some.
"Yeah go head make yourself at home. It's totally fine that there is a girl that I don't know in my house right now."

"Thanks for the invite but clearly I ready have."he just shook his head and sat down we all finished watching ba ba dook and then we watched hush. Man how I love scary movies!!!
