Sarah's POV
I finally get home and right when I shut the door I am attacked in a tight hug from my mom.
"Sarah what were you thinking!! You could have been kidnapped!" she cried
" I know momma it was stupid of me. I stayed at a friend's house so there's no way I would have been kidnapped, but I know what I did was uncalled for and I'm sorry" I said
"I was serious about what I said on the phone, you and Steve in that room Now" she said while pointing to the computer room
"Mom I don't think that's-"
I'm cut off by Steve
"No No Sarah we have some things to discuss" he says while smirking
"Now go, I will be at the grocery store getting things for lunch and dinner" she says
Steve pulls me into the room, shuts the door, and locks it. We both hear the door shut and I immediately feel a pain in my stomach and I drop to the floor.
"For a moment I thought you wouldn't go along with it, but then I said to myself of course she will, she knows it'd be much worse than this." he said while kicking me in the stomach then the legs and probably more but I started to black out.
" GET UP YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH" He screamed at me
I tried my best to get back up only for him to kick my legs so that I fall again
"NOW GO AND GET YOURSELF CLEANED UP YOU LOOK PATHETIC!" He shuts the door and leaves.
I take a few minutes to breathe. Then I start walking to my room. I have a slight limp but I just brush it off.
I decide to take a shower for the second time today, but this time I just stand there thinking.
What would my life be like if my mom didn't marry him?
why can't he just kill me already...
What have I done to deserve this?
" SARAH LUNCH TIME" I hear my mother yell
how long have I been in here?
I get out of the shower and dry myself off with a towel.
I look down and see so many bruises....
I feel so pathetic
I put on my underwear a white-T and sweatshirt to hide my bruises it's not like I was going out tonight.
I finally get to the kitchen and sit down.
"Honey how did you get that limp?" my mom asks
" Oh I was walking down the stairs and I fell and landed on it the wrong way" I lied smoothly
" Oh you should be more careful honey" she says
"I know I will"
"Oh Sarah I forgot to tell you, your brother and sister are visiting this week, Chris is sleeping in the guest room and Sammie will be sleeping in your room" Steve says
" Uh then where am I sleeping?"
"you get to choose between the couch or the bed that's in the attic" he says like it's no big deal
"What why can't Chris sleep on the couch and Sammie go in the guest room" I asked
"Honey just pick one" my mother says sternly
"I guess I'll pick the attic" I sighed
" oh good I was hoping you'd pick that one! So before they get here, you have to clean the entire attic so it's actually liveable" my mom says
" WHAT! THEN I CHOOSE THE COUCH" I yell
"sorry you can't switch" Steve says while smirking
You've got to be kidding me
