Are You Okay?

Chapter Six

Zack POV

I am not dead.

But I'm fairly close.

Turns out, the reason father beat me into an unconscious state is because one of his biggest deals didn't go through and he decided to take all of his anger out on me. He also said I'm not worth spending educated money on, so he pulled me out of Travis Prep.

Now, I spend my days locked up in my room hiding, getting beat by father, and occasionally sneaking out to go to my secret music room I'm the woods behind my house. I try to go there at least once a week and spend the nights on days I know father wouldn't be home.

For five months, I've lived in fear. Now, I've always been afraid, but this was different. This time, I didn't have an escape, I'm simply, trapped. So fear now consumes me-fear of my father, my friends, and of what will happen next.

Then, one morning, I woke up. Late. It was 10.38, and I was supposed to be up at exactly 8.00-idiots don't get to sleep in. I don't know what happened though, I leave my alarm off cause father says it gives him a headache. It's not like I need it, he usually wakes me up some kind of cruel way.

As quickly as I could, I jumped to my feet, tearing my thin sheets off and rushed to my bedroom door, cracking it open to peek out. Before I could take a proper look around, father's personal maid came into view.

"Don't worry, honey," She started,"Your father's out on a business trip for the week, I let you sleep."

"O-okay." Was all I was able to muster.

"See you next week." With a wave, she traveled down the hall and out of sight.

I let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

I opened my door all the way and walked down the stairs to my kitchen and pulled open my fridge. I grabbed an orange and walked back up to my room after grabbing a napkin.

For a minute, all I did was sit on my bed and think about what was going on, father was gone for the week.

Once again, I let out a sigh of relief as I got to my feet. I walked to my closet and pulled out a T-shirt, sweater, and some jeans. I walked into my bathroom and hopped in the shower. Slowly, I washed myself, carefully scrubbing off all the blood. When I finished, I quickly changed and threw on some run down shoes. As soon as I was all laced up, I made a beeline for the front door, swinging it open.

And when I did, I was greeted by my two bestfriends, my old teacher, my sisters, and my crush, all at once.
