The next night I came down to ask how his day went “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU STUPID WORTHLESS CHILD?” the next minute a glass bottle was hurdling towards me face. The glass hit the side of my face shattering it to thousands of tiny shards . I stood up and he hit me. Hurt I tried to escape the house I stumbled to my room and tried to hide. He bashed down the door with brute force. He stopped inches away from me, and started to cry. The first time he had actually cried. Then he collapsed right in front of me. I burst into tears, shuffled toward him and hugged him as tight as I could. When he was asleep it was like he was my father again not that drunken mad man. I laid they with him starring out to the stars outside my window. Until I fell asleep. I think I may be slowly dying inside.
I put on my crumpled school uniform... still not washed from the day, there was a small droplet of dry blood on my knee. It was hers. I stepped of the house to jumped on the bus. Didn’t see dad, but he was probably somewhere getting drunk. The bus ride was horrendous, Max didn’t talk or sit by me at all at school. I just had hundreds of people starring at me like I was a flipping zoo animal. People kept making fun... I couldn’t take it any more, I couldn’t hold it in. I just screamed “WHY DONT YOU HAVE your mum die... THEN HAVE LOADS OF PEOPLE MAKING FUN” then I tipped my table over and ran to the toilets. Max saw me. He tried to stop me but I wasn’t stopping. I wasn’t stopping for nobody.
“Katie can I talk to you...” Max knocked quietly on the toilet door. “Piss off Max your just the same as them... ignoring me” I could see his feet from underneath the door. They were wet and muddy... he must have ran after me. Maybe he did care... I slowly opened the door. I saw him looking down, he looked upset, almost crying. “What do you want Max?” I mumbled under my breath.”Katie I don’t think that I want to see you any more...” “What.. because my mum died and now you decide to leave me!” -”No its not like that!-” “Just leave!”. I thought I was going to scream then hit him as hard as I could. He dropped our bracelet and walked away. I didn’t know what to do my mind was filled with thoughts. I culled and cried, cried till I fell asleep. Lying there in a puddle of my own tears.
