"The Best Day". ~T.S.~. (Completed)

Chapter 30: the story of us

"Wake up sleepy head!! It's 10:00! And we are going swimming in my pool so wake up!" Mom said jumping on my bed.

"Ok I'm up!" I screamed.

"Get into a swimsuit and come downstairs! And make it quick!"
I groaned and walked over to my dresser. Which swimsuit should I wear? My all black one? Purple one? Blue one? They are all bikinis just different colors. I guess I'll wear my blue one. I went into my bathroom and put it in then put my hair into a low ponytail. My swimsuit is strapless and on the sides it has those stretchy string things. I turned around to look at my back in the mirror. Great. I still have all the cuts and bruises that Abi saw. Some of them healed but a majority of them are still visible. I walked downstairs and see mom in her white and orange striped bikini and Adam in black swim trunks. I followed mom and Adam out to the pool making sure they stayed I front of me so they can't see my back. When we got to the pool, I walked over to the edge and dipped my toe in to see how cold it is. Then, somebody came behind me and pushed me in!

"Hey!" I screamed after I came out of the water.

"Oops!" Adam said.
Then mom and Adam jumped in at the same time holding hands.
I'm surprised Adam didn't see my bruises and cuts. If he did then he is choosing to ignore it. Which doesn't bother me at all. But if mom sees them... She's going to want to know what happened. I tried my best to keep my back away from mom the whole time. But then she sneaked up behind me.

" Britt Nicole Swift! What the heck happened?!" Mom asked.
Oh boy. Here we go.

"Um. They are from a long time ago. It doesn't matter." I whispered the last sentence.
It shouldn't matter. My dad is gone. He can't get to me anymore. Nobody can put him into jail for doing this.

"Britt! Yes it does matter! You have a lot of explaining to do!"

"Fine. "
I jumped up to sit on the edge of the pool. Mom and Adam did the same. Mom is on the right side of me and Adam is on my left.

"Explain. " Adam said.

"Well, my dad hit me a few times but that's it. " I said acting like it is no big deal.
I slid off the pool edge back into the water.

"Britt! That's not it! He clearly didn't just hit you a few times! This is not ok. Get up here this minute and tell me the whole story!" Mom shouted.
I quickly jumped back up between mom and Adam on the pool ledge.

" don't you mean the story of us?" I asked laughing.

"Nows not the time Britt! Tell me what happened or your phone will be taken away. "

"Fine! When my dad used to get drunk all the time, he used to come home and push me into walls and furniture and hit me sometimes! It's not a big deal anymore! He's gone!" I said starting to cry.
Adam put his arm around me.

"Did you tell anybody?" He asked.

"No. He only did that when he got drunk. When he got sober he was nice. Well, kind of. He always yelled. But besides that he was nice. "

"You should have told somebody. "

"If I did I wouldn't be here right now!" I said madly.
I got off of the ground and ran back inside the apartment and went to my room and slammed the door.
That was in my past! They didn't need to know that! All they needed to know was that my dad got drunk and killed my whole family and left me because he probably couldn't find me!! I started crying into my pillow and Meredith came into my room. I petted her when I heard either mom or Adam coming up the stairs. I forgot to lock my door. Great. Mom came in. Then left without saying a word. None of my friends even knew what my dad did to me. Mom and Adam shouldn't know either. But I guess not everything turns out how I planned. Actually, nothing does. Ever.
