Mother can see my scars, yet she can't see the pain
Waking up at her room she immediately look at the door. She sat up and laughed.
"The world really sucks" she said. She grabbed her phone and dialed Nhietth's number.
"Hello?" Nhietth said on the other line.
"Nhietth, please tell the teachers I will absent for a week because of personal reasons" Augustine said as she glared at the door. "You know what I mean"
"Oh god..." Nhietth gasped. "What did they do to you now?"
"Well, scars from draging me at the floor, bruises at my stomach and right shoulder..." She checked her body. "That's all" she muttered.
"Why?" Nhietth whispered. "Why did you have to go through this?"
Augustine laughed. "Don't pity me. The more you pity me, the more I'll depend on you... So stop it"
"I'm not" Nhietth sighed. "You do realize that was abuse for your mental and physical state?"
"I know" Augustine chuckled. "But please tell them that I'm absent"
"I will" Nhietth said. "What did you do now August?"
"Well, I got home late after I took the cameras. It really sucks because that motherfucker in this house and last night, I just heard my mother moaning his name... That fucker" Augustine rolled her eyes.
"Gross" Nhietth scrunched up her nose. "Well goodbye, the teacher's here... Goodluck..."
Augustine smiled and end the call. She hugged her knees and cried.
"I wish you guys are here... I wish" She muttered as she smiled.

"We have a group homework and we need to talk to Augustine" Teli said to Liel whose looking at them dead eyed. "Her grade must remain 90 above! If she keeps on not going to class, her grades will be low" Teli continued.
"Tch, she can keep up anytime." Liel started as she crossed her arms to her chest. "Augustine's not feeling well right now. So get out of our lawn"
Ali smiled. "Sorry for interruption!" She smiled even more. "We must go guys, I think Augustine really needs rest"
Liel narrowed her eyes. "Be careful on your way"
"Of course mam" Ali said politely.
Nhietth look up and saw Augustine hanging up a banner.
"THROUGH THE WINDOW!!"

Augustine is crying, bruises on her face and scars on her body. "I can't take it! I can't take it anymore!" She ruffled her own hair. "I can't sleep at night because of that motherfucker!"
"Now now calm down" Nhietth whispered as she rub her back. "August, I think you need this to tell to the teachers... They'll understand what's happening here."
Augustine shaked her head. "No, they're going to send me at the asylum!! They won't believe me!" Augustine grab her own hair and started to pull it.
"Oi! August! Stop that!" Tris panicked.
"Fuck! Augustine!" Maine shouted. They tried to stop but Augustine grinned.
"Hahahaha" August sneered. "Maybe I'm crazy... Maybe they're saying the truth... Maybe... Maybe I'll--"
"Whatever you're thinking stop it." Ali immediately said making all of them to look at her. "You don't think I didn't see those scars on your wrist. Stop it"
Their surroundings became quiet until the door opened.
"GET OUT"

"P-please stop!!" Augustine pleaded. Myron bruised her in many ways. "Please!!!"
"Begging on something won't do anything!!" Myron laughed.
Tears sprung out to her eyes as she covered herself from the punches and scissors.
This is hell
***
Grabbing her cellphone as she scroll down the texts of her classmates send. She smiled at their worries as she winced in pain.
She laughed and rested on bed.
It's been day 2 of beating... I still have 7 days left... Hahahahaha... I never thought that those guys were willing to visit me even my mother treatens them.
She laughed and looked at their group picture.
If I couldn't handle the pain... Thank you guys... For everything...

Michael laughed and laughed. "Ha??? What was that bitch? I can't hear you?~" He playfully said
Augustine close her eyes while her head was on the ground. "I'm sorry for sneaking out, I'm sorry to answer both of you, I'm just a brat who doesn't know what I'm doing." A slight pause. "I'm very sorry" Augustine lift her head as she open her eyes but her eyes widened as she felt a stung on her left cheek.
"Tch!" Michael glared at her then laughed. "IDIOT!" He points at her. "You're just like your mother! An idiot who keeps on following me since she missed her husband!"
Augustine narrowed her eyes. "It's been a year ever since your father died and I believe he left some money from his insurance." He grinned. "I'll tell you everything I planned since your mother won't believe you..." he laughed again and looked down at her. "Of course, you're a masochist, after all... Right?"
Augustine clenched her teeth and glared at him
I'll kill you
