Saved by Death

Chapter I

~Hopefully it'll work~

He did it again. Greg had did it again. He gave me new scars today. They weren't emotional ones either. No, he gave me physical scars. Something he said he wouldn't do. I felt betrayed, Hell, I still do!

"Miss Arnold, what is the answer to number ten?"

Oh yeah. I'm in maths now. "Two-hundred and twenty three."

"Correct. Any questions?"

"May I go to the bathroom?" Of course. Matt Kelley has to be the one to ask a question unrelated to maths.

Mrs Daine sighed and pointed to a sign out sheet. Apparently now, since the vandalism crime happened, we have to has sign out sheets. Which I find extremely dumb. Like, who the Hell would do that? What if someone is gonna pee themselves?

And, the most dreadful thing happens. The End of the Day Bell rings. And I have to go home to him. I don't want to go back, but I know if I don't, he'll find me. And he'll kill me. Please save me from this Hell hole of a Planet.

I have been planning to do this my whole six years of being a teenager. That makes me eighteen. So, it'll be on the news. 'EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD CHLOE ARNOLD HAS COMMITTED SUICIDE TO ESCAPE ABUSIVE FATHER!'

Yeah right.

I just have to make a desicion. Die fast, or die slowly. I'm gonna choose the initial one and that is the fast death. I just have to get the right moment. And that is Midnight, when Greg is asleep.

I had already written a letter, saved it in my phone, made a ton of copies, and sent one to my best friend, Jamie. I convinced her it'll be a fake death, but I'll 'accidentally' kill myself. It's already half past five so Greg will be home soon. I know a place to go and hide until he falls asleep, and he hasn't found it yet.

I just hope it works.
