Still Day 2

Levi

Still Day 2: oh no.

Violet comes rushing through the door.

with silver colored hair.

"you dyed it without me?" I asked confused.

all she does is puts her pointer finger to her lips and says "shhh."

I quickly close my mouth. what would happen if he found her? what would happen if he found me? would he hurt me?

no. I shouldn't say that.

we both freeze when we hear the foot steps come up the stairs.

"what do we do? " I whisper in fear of what might happen.

Violet thinks for a while, which worries me because I can hear he fathers steps coming closer and closer.

I guess Violet hears him too because she starts to panic. then she pushes me to her closet. "okay, you need to be super quiet. okay?"

I nod my head even though Im very claustrophobic. why are there so many things wrong me?

I make my way into the closet, going back as far as I can. once I reach the end of her dark closet, I slide down to the floor and sit. Violet gives me a thumbs up and gives me a worried smile.

then she closes it.

I don't panic right away. I just focus on my breathing. but each time I blink the walls seem to move in closer. which made my breathing go rapid.

I hear Violets father enter the room.

"Violet." his deep voice says. "when you walked into the house, Im sure you saw the mess downstairs." he says softly.

Violet doesn't speak.

"THEN WHY DIDNT YOU CLEAN IT UP?" his loud voice startles me. I hear something smash against the ground.

my breath speeds up.

"Im sorry." Violet whispers in very weak voice.

"are you sorry?! are you really fucking sorry?!" something else gets smashed.

"Ill clean it up later, I promise." she speaks.

slap.

I hear the impact of his hand hitting her face. then the thud of her body hitting the floor.

"clean it up now." he says.

my breathing goes out of control. and before I know it, Im out of her closet punching Violets dad.

Im not sure how it happened, but I was straddling his waist punching him repeatedly.

I feel so numb. this isn't me. what am I doing? I cant faintly hear Violets crys. telling me to stop.

I stop punching, and turn to look at her. tears running down her face.

then her father quickly recovers and pins me to the ground. his hands quickly reach around my neck. choking me.

"who the hell do you think you are, kid?! you think your some type of hero?" he says, choking me harder.

I cant breath. Violets struggling to push her father off me. shes crying.

Violets lips are moving but I cant hear her.

my vision starts to fade.

I cant see her anymore.

I cant breath anymore.

am I dead?
