"Fucking hell, Rose! Can't you do any fucking thing right?!" My mother was yelling at me once again. Her face was red from the yelling, her green eyes now bloodshot.
I stood in front of her waiting for her to hit me.
Mum and Dad always fought and when one of them were gone the other would yell, scream and beat me.
It wasn't always like this. We were a happy family 4 years ago, my mum and dad rarely fought and my brother and I would play in our tree house. His name was Ivan, he had bright blue eyes that sparkled in the moonlight. His hair was a dirty blonde, every morning he would spend half an hour straightening it. His skin was pale like mine and we always called each other vampires. He was a year older then me.
But then one day everything changed. No one knew that my brother was depressed but me. He would show me the cuts on his wrists and he would tell me why. Most of the time it was because he was bullied for hanging with his sister all the time, he wouldn't go anywhere without me. He started to shut himself in his room all day until dinner, he stopped going to school, he soon after tried to starve himself. He told me he was too fat so he had to stop eating. Ivan tried to kill himself a few times but he wasn't successful.
On my 10th birthday, Ivan finally came out of his room. He looked paler then usual, he was very boney and he could barely walk. He walked up to me and hugged me and apologised for everything and told me that he loved me and that no matter what happens he will always love me. His eyes closed and he died in my arms.
A few months later we found out he drugged himself with painkillers and anything he could find in his room. That's when mum and dad started being abbusive. It started off as verbal abuse. They would tell me that I should die and I Should slit my wrists and that they wished I killed myself instead of Ivan.
Then they must've gotten sick of me not seeming hurt by it and stared kicking, punching and throwing me across the room.
"Rose, get your fat ass up of the fucking ground!" Mum yelled at me. I must've blacked out because I was on the ground.
I stood up and mum kicked me 2 times. She walked away for a bit then came back. Her eyes were glassy and even more bloodshot then before.
"Rose, stand and don't you dare fucking move!" She screamed.
I stood, getting kicked, punched and thrown across the room like a rag doll.
I soon after passed out.
When I woke up there was daylight, mum and dad weren't home. They must've went out the back.
I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.
I had bruises and blood all over me, I jumped into the shower and washed my hair and cleaned the blood off of me.
"This is worse then the night before." I whispered to myself.
I got out of the shower and put make up on and got dressed.
School was great, I wasn't popular but I wasn't no one. I got along with everyone and I had friends. No one knew about my home life expect for my best friend, Damian Owen. Damian had Brown hair and brown eyes. Damian lived down the road so every weekend I would just hang out with him.
"Damian, hey!" I waved, walking through the school grounds.
"Hey, did your parents do anything last night?" He whispered.
"Maybe."
"What do you mean 'maybe'?"
"I mean she might've done a lot more then I remember. I passed out a few times."
"How many?"
"Like 3. I don't know. The first time I woke up to her screaming for me to get off my ass. I don't remember much after that though."
"Do you think we should go to the hospital. Just to make sure you're not internally bleeding?"
"No. Damian, don't even suggest that."
"Why would she be internally bleeding? Rose, what's happening?" One of my close friends, Hamish Wednesday butted in.
"Nothing. Don't worry." I panicked.
"Rose, tell me the truth. Are your parents being abusive?"
"Hamish, no. Why'd you even think that?"
"Because every weekend you want to come over to either Damian or my house. Rose, what's happening at home?"
"Okay. Hamish, ever since my brother died they were verbally abusing me then they started physically abusing me. That's why I wear makeup everyday. So I can hid the bruises." I whispered.
"Have you told an adult?"
"No. And I'm not going to either. You two are the only people that know. I'd appreciate it if it stayed that way, too."
"Okay. No problem."
That whole day Hamish watched me like a hawk.
Lunch soon came and Hamish, Damian and I hung out.
"Rose, do you want something to eat?" Hamish asked.
"No, I'm not hungry." I smiled.
"I've never seen you eat. Are you anorexic?"
"No! Why would you think that?"
"Rose, you are aren't you?" Damian asked. He sounded really worried.
"Guys, I can't eat. If I eat I'll throw up. And also it hurts."
"Rose, let's go to the hospital after school."
"No. Mum and dad will go ape shit if I'm not home to get my 'daily bashing'."
"Rose, I'm not letting you go home." Hamish yelled.
"Yes, you are! Hamish, please don't worry."
"I have to worry, you're my best friend!"
"Just go, Rose. Please?" Damian joined in.
"Fine! But I'm going to get beaten really badly." I said, I had a really bad feeling.
After classes we walked to the hospital.
"Excuse me, came we get a check up?" Damian asked the lady at the desk.
"Do you have an adult or guardian with you?" The lady asked.
"No. But this is an emergency." Hamish joined.
"Sorry but you cannot get a check up."
"Excuse me, Layla. But these children can get a check up. I think this young lady needs to be checked. She looks rather ghastly." A man butted in. He was wearing a white cloth and looked like a doctor.
"Thank you." Hamish and Damian said at the same time.
"Come through." The man welcomed.
We followed him into a room.
"So what's your name, sweety?" The doctor asked.
"Rose White." I replied.
"So what happened?"
"She fell and landed on a pole." Hamish said.
"Yeah. It looked pretty bad." Damian agreed.
"So I'm gonna need you to get an X-Ray." The doctor said.
The doctor led me to another room and he gave me an X-Ray.
"You have internal bleeding." He said, worry written all over his face.
"So what does that mean?" Hamish yelled.
"It means that Rose is going to have to stay here for a while."
"No. I can't, I've got to go home. I have to before mum and dad get angry and ba-" I had to stop myself.
"You didn't fall onto a pole did you, Rose?" The doctor asked.
"Just butt out of it!"
"Sir, what would happen if she doesn't stay here?" Hamish asked.
"It could be fatal." The doctor said.
"I don't care if I die! At least mum and dad will be happy. At least you guys will be happy and I'll see Ivan again." I broke down crying after saying his name.
"Rose, we won't let that happen. Just stay here, please?" Damian said, hugging me.
"Okay. Can you guys please stay with me?"
"Of course."
A few days later I was let out of the hospital. Damian and Hamish stayed with me while I was there and they wouldn't leave.
"Guys, can you please come home with me?" I asked, looking at the ground.
"Okay." They agreed.
When we got home the place was a mess. There were needles and cigarette buds everywhere.
"Rose, you're home! Where the fuck do you think you've been?! You fucking bitch! How fucking dare you leave us!" Dad screamed in my face.
I looked down.
"Hey, you! Don't you dare talk to Rose like that! Do you dare lay a finger on her!" Damian screamed at dad.
I quickly looked at him, giving him a worried look. He returned it with a look saying everything will be okay.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?! Are you Roses Boyfriend?!"
"N- Yes! And I'll protect her!"
Dad swung a punch at him but I jumped in front and dad hit me. Making me instantly pass out.
Damian's POV
"Call an ambulance, Hamish!" I screamed. My best friend jumped in front of me. She protected me.
"Don't call anyone! You stay here! And keep your mouths shut!" Roses mother screamed.
"No! I'm not leaving Rose here!" Hamish yelled.
"Then take the bitch."
I picked Rose up and carried her to my place with Hamish.
"Rose, are you okay? Please wake up." I whispered.
"I think we should call an ambulance." Hamish said.
We ended up calling an ambulance and they took us to the hospital. They said that she could have died if the punch was any higher.
Rose was still asleep, the doctors said that she may be put into a comma if she's unlucky and she may even die.
