My New Home (Jacoby Shaddix)

Chapter 2

I bought me and Sam some subs from subway and then took her home.

I unlocked my door and lead her upstairs to her room.

"It was my guest room, but we can buy you stuff to make it your room." I say since the room is pretty boring.

She nods.

I can tell, she's hurt. it says it all across her face. I can see why.

I nod and leave her to settle. I live alone, my and my ex wife Kelly split cause we were always ffighting

We had twin boys about 12 years ago which makes them about 15. but they were kidnapped, we searched for years but they were never found.

I soon heard foot steps come down the stairs.

"That was quick."

"Yeah we'll I don't have very much stuff." She said looking down at her shoes.

"That's fine. we'll go shopping tomorrow!" I exclaimed thinking girls love shopping.

She shook her head fearsly.

"What? I thought girls loved shopping?" I said and she shoot her head my way.

"Yeah girly girls. As you can see I'm not exactly a girly girl." she said signaling to her clothes.

I tilted my head side ways and nodded in agree ment.

She started to get up and I grabbed her wrist.

She flinched "Ouch!- I mean,"

I cocked one eyebrow.

"I uh, I broke my wrist and its still some what sore."

That's a lie.

I shrugged. "You can trust me." I said.

"No I can't." she whispered.

Now I'm a bit taken back by her choice of words.

"Why not?" I asked softly.

She snapped "BECAUSE YOU MAY BE MY DAD BUT YOUR A DAD WHO LEFT ME WITH THAT PEICE OF A MOTHER WHO ABUSED ME PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY!!"

I cringed at her words "Abused? As in hit?" I said softly.

She nodded.

"Show me your wrists." I blurted out.

She looked at me and said flatly "No."

"C'mon Sam! stop being so god damn stubborn I'm your dad you can't act like this forever!" I snapped.

"FINE LOOK AWAY!" she said holding out her wrists.

I grabbed one arm and pulled up a sleeve to reveal a arm of cuts.

I felt my eyes well up with tears.

"I'm so sorry Sam..."
