Jessica's POV:

I wake up cuddled up next to the giant teddy bear Cody had won for me last night at the carnival. I stand up to walk to the bathroom when this disgusting smell comes over me. I follow the smell to my own living room.

My dad is passed out on our couch with a bottle of beer in one hand, a half eaten burger in the other, and a dozen empty beer bottles scattered around him. Some are broken. He looks--and smells--like he hasn't showered in days. It's disgusting. I go to the kitchen and start to pour myself some cereal an I drop my spoon--which wakes up my dad.

"What the hell?" He says dropping the burger on the floor behind the couch. He turns around and looks at me. "Why did you wake me up?" He yells at me. "I-I didn't mean to. I accidentally drop-" he cut me off. "You are never to wake me up again! Got it?" He gets up and walks up next to me. My eyes are about to start watering up his smell is so horrid. "Got it." I mumble to the floor. "LOOK AT ME WHEN YOU SPEAK!" He yells as he slaps me. "Got it!" I say to his face before I run upstairs to my room and cry.

I sit on my bed, hugging the bear--it still smells like Cody--and trying to calm down. When I finally stopped crying, someone knocked at my balcony door. "Come in." I say. Cody bursts into my room and starts to serenade me, but I don't change my emotion at all--even tho his voice is heavenly. He finally looks at my eyes and then stops singing. "Hey. What's wrong Jessica?" He sits down at the door of my bed and I go and hug him and cry in his shoulder.

Cody's POV:

"Cody," Jessica starts. "my dad is back from wherever he went. I go down the stairs this morning and he is on the couch, hungover, and there are about a dozen beer bottles everywhere!" She starts to cry harder. I hug her tight and stroke her hair to try and calm her down. She lifts up her head because she hears something. "My dad is coming! Go out on to my balcony! Hurry!" She says through gasps for air.

On the balcony I hear her dad come in. Gosh! I fan smell him out here! "There's a mess in the living room. Clean it. I'm having some friends over tonight so once you're done with that just leave. I'll be back later. Not that you care." He mumbles the last sentence. "Yes sir." Jessica says and then her dad leaves her room.

I wait for Jessica to come and get me to make sure the coast is clear. "Jessica, are you ok?" I ask her. "Yeah, I'm fine. All good here." I give her a look. "It's not 'all good here'. He I treating you like a slave! I mean my mom has me clean the living room sometimes but she at least asks nicely! He can't treat you like that!" She walks toward her bed room door. "He can treat me however he wants--he's my dad. I'm under his roof so I have to follow his rules. I just have three more years with him then I can leave. I have to go clean. Can I come over later? Spend the night?" She look so upset with her tear stained cheeks. "Yeah. I'm sure my mum won't mind. Come over when you're done. Promise?" "I Promise."

I walk over to her and kiss her forehead. "I'll see you later then. Bye." "Bye Cody." She says and walks out her room and downstairs while I walk outside and into my room. I really hope she's gonna be ok. I'm going to get her out of that house forever. I don't care what it takes, she's getting away from that man.
