Chapter 11

I woke up due to a painful headache, I slowly sat up on my bed and put my hair into a messy bun. I kicked my blankets off and headed for the door, I pulled on the doorknob but it wouldn't budge. Was he serious about keeping me in my room for that long?

What about food, water, a bathroom!? This is not what I was expecting from my dad when I just got out if the hospital. I let the tears fall, there's no stopping them. I looked in the mirror and I hated what I saw.

My makeup was smeared my eye was black, my jaw had dry blood on it, and I felt sore everywhere. I heard my phone vibrate on my side table, I limped back to my bed and took my phone.

Hey, I'm sorry for flipping at the hospital. Can I please come over and talk with you? -Justin

Ok I know that I don't know him too well but I'm not letting him come here while my dads on a rampage. He could get hurt, and he could end up getting my dad more pissed off than he already is.

Um, I'm kind of I guess grounded.. But maybe tomorrow? -Scarlett

And after yesterday I'm quiet scared of my dad, and I'm a little scetchy about Jordan. He kissed me out of no where, I don't know if I feel that way about him.. Gosh I barely know him!

Scarlett, please this is really important I need to tell you in person.-Justin

I'm sorry I'm grounded, and I don't want you seeing me like this. -Scarlett

I can't let Justin in on what my dad did, he would probably go crazy and tell the cops. I know my dad didn't mean to hurt me, he was probably just drunk or something...right?

Justin's POV

I'm sorry I'm grounded, and I don't want you seeing me like this. -Scarlett

That's it, that fucker is beating her again. He's beating his daughter that just got out of the bloody hospital!

Wait, if Scarlett can't remember anything that means that she doesn't know about her dad beating her. She thinks this is just a phase for him, I have to save her.

I picked up my phone and ran out the door locking it behind me, I hopped onto my bike and drove to Scarlett's.

Scarlett's POV

"Dad!??" I've been screaming this for the last hour, he's seriously not letting me out if here is he?

"Bitch if you don't shut up I will slit your throat!" I quickly shut my mouth, earning a chuckle from my dad.

I've been in my room for hours now just texting and begging for food or water. Worst of all, I have to pee so bad that it's not even funny.

"Pleaseeee, dad I have to pee!" I didn't hear a reply so I was a little worried, was he planning on hurting me? Did he leave for work while I'm still in here!?

My door soon swung open to a pair of teary brown eyes, "Scarlett" he shook his head, "I'm so sorry" he ran to me and quickly scooped me into his arms.

I'm not going to lie, I was a little uncomfortable but I haven't had human contact for awhile, unless you count my dads hand to my face.

"This-this is all my fault" I tried wiggling out of his arms but he just held me tighter, not letting me get away. "I'm fine" my voice cracked.

"Don't lie to me, you have bruises everywhere and your eye is black! Not to mention your scar looks like it's been ripped open again!" I didn't even notice the scar.

"Maybe a little bent out of shape" He let out a small laugh, "That's what I missed" I started hugging him back. "Is this how we used to be?" he soon backed up and came face to face with me.
