Calla's P.O.V.

Sean had to leave after we went back to the park, which means I have to go home myself. I only live about ten to fifteen minutes away and by the time I get home the sun would be set. I trudge up my porch steps into the house. The first thing I hear when I step through the door into the dining room is the t.v. Great HIM is home. I quietly head up into my room so he wouldn't hear me. Once i'm at my room with the door closed and locked, I head over to my bed to do some homework.

After what feels like hours I finally finish all of my homework. I was about to get ready for bed when there is a bang on my door.

"Hey slutty bitch! Get your ass out here and make me some goddamn dinner you little piece of shit!" HIM yells through the door. I wince when he pounds a little harder on the door, afraid he might break the only thing that gives me privacy.

I walk to the door and open it. As soon as the door was wide open my head snapped to the left. I felt a stinging sensation on my right cheek. I bring up my hand to where he hit me. I face myself towards HIM to see that he is sneering at me. He turns around and heads downstairs to his bedroom. Once I hear his door close I head downstairs to make his dinner.

I make him something easy since we don't have enough food for anything big. So all he gets is some grilled cheese and soup. Once done I call him into the kitchen where the food is while I head back upstairs to avoid him at all cost. Hopefully tonight is one of those nights where he leaves me alone, but I can never be sure. I decided to get to bed early tonight so I start getting ready.

I pull my shirt off and slip off my pants before crawling under my covers awaiting sleep to come and take me away from reality.

****Around Midnight*****

I wake up with a start when I hear something or rather I say someone banging on my door. I slowly get up out of my bed and slip on a sweatshirt that comes down to my mid thighs. I walk towards the door and slowly opening it, afraid of what might be on the other side. My eyes adjust to the light as I look in front of me. HIM is standing there and I know the instant my eyes lock onto his face that he is drunk.

His eyes are bloodshot and I can smell the alcohol on his breath. The look he gives me is the one that I have been afraid of for so long. Right now I just want to slam my door in his face but I know if I do, I would get a worse punishment than my normal ones. Before I knew it his hand shot out and closed around my neck. He slammed me up against the wall so hard that my head bounced off it. I saw stars for sec before it was gone. HIM got real close enough for me to smell his foul breath.

"Thought you could hide from me, huh?" He slurred a little bit into my ear. I shuddered in distaste. I tried to shake my head to show that I wasn't. But I already knew that it was a lost cause anyway. I started seeing black spots dance around my vision. Before I even think that I might pass out, the pressure on my throat leaves.

I collapse onto the floor gasping for breath. From the amount of air that I suck in, ends of turning into coughing. At the corner of my vision I see HIM leave the room muttering about getting more beer. I slowly get up to head towards my bed, gripping the wall so I won't fall. Once I reached my bed, I slowly crawled into it willing sleep to take me away from reality.

I wake up to my alarm going off at 6:30 am. I grab my phone and shut it off. Flipping off the blankets, I head to the shower. Once I'm finished with my things I get dressed in ripped black skinny jeans, black tank top, black and red flannel, with converse. I quickly run a comb through my hair and add eyeliner and mascara to my eyes. Looking at my neck I see the dark bruises, I quickly cover them up with foundation.

Snatching my bag off my desk, I head downstairs to leave for school. Since HIM is not home I go through the fridge to see if I can find anything to eat for the day. I see an apple sitting in the back of the fridge, grabbing it before heading out. While taking a bite of the apple I put on my headphones to block out all the sounds and start walking to school.

Throughout the school day nothing important happened. Sean said hi to me a couple times but otherwise he hung out with some of his other friends. When the school day was finally over, I headed back over to the park so I won't have to be home for so long. On my way there I kept thinking if HIM will ever changed back into a loving father before mom died.

I was so lost in thought I didn't realize that I made it to the park already. So as usual, I headed to the swings. I plopped down in it and started thinking again. I can't wait till my aunt comes and visits me in a month from now. I haven't seen her in a little over two years now since she has been so busy. I wonder if she is going to bring her daughter along with her.

"It's funny meeting you here again." A male voice says from in front of me. As soon as those words were out of his mouth I knew exactly who it was. Looking up at Sean, I answer back with "I always come here after school."

"Hmm, that's nice to know." He moves so he is sitting on the swing next to me. I turn my head to look at him. I see his eyes move from my eyes down the side of my cheek to my neck. I really hope the foundation didn't rub off, but I won't find out unless he asks something.

"What happened to your neck? You have dark bruises all around it from what I can see." Shit it did come off. It must of when I accidentally rubbed my hands on my neck while trying to move my hair.

"Umm..nothing. Nothing important anyways." I nervously laugh at the end hoping he will by it but I know better than that. He looks at me disbelieving but doesn't say anything else which I am grateful for. After the silence we start a normal conversation talking about nonsense and things.

Soon the sun was setting and we were saying goodbyes.
