A Daughter To Love.. (Amanda Mealing/Casualty Fanfiction)

Dealing With It...

(Seth's P.O.V)
I'd kept mum's secret for years... Dad was such a tool. He didn't deserve her at all.. You think I love him. I don't. I know it sounds awful.. but I hate his guts... I can't even look at him. Poor mum has suffered enough without him having to break her down even more.. I'd spoken to Mia because I trusted her... so much. We'd been friends for a few years.. before I messed around and then I decided to tell her I liked her. I couldn't talk to anyone else... that's why I couldn't leave mum alone with Dad... he'd abuse her. She even became pregnant with my other sibling... but she got rid  of it as she couldn't bare looking at her child every day and visualising what my OWN FATHER did to her.

I'd played it off like everything was alright... but dad and me both knew that he was his behaviour towards mum was so wrong. I had to be the one to be there for her when she woke up screaming at 4am in the morning.. I had to sort myself out for school... she'd be at home and dad would get drunk.. completely plastered and then abuse and say bad things to her and make herself feel so awful... she'd cry and tell me everything was alright. But it wasn't.

I texted Mia...

Hey gorgeous x
Thank you for being there. I'm dealing with more than you think. Do you wanna talk before you enrol at school tomorrow? It's really important❤

I had a shower and got into bed... tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep. I heard mum come in.."Seth? Darling?" I ran downstairs. "Mum? Are you alright? Where's dad?" She burst out crying. 

"I don't know....I'm scared Seth. I'm really scared....."
