Scars (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 1.

"I just want out of this house" i say once again down the phone to Auntie Ellie.

"I know darling, but i can't do anything, what do you want me todo? Take my sister to court?" She says. She suddenly gasps and i join in. Yes take my own mother to court and take me away.

"Yes!" i nearly yell down the phone. Shit, i look out my door but noones around. 

"Okay, i'll speak to the court okay, this might not end well darling, just stay safe okay?" She practically whispers. 

"Yes i will, for you" I whisper back. I smile into the phone as she hangs up. That was the best thing thats happened in my life and if this works, i might finally be out of this house for good. If she wins this i will be hers, my parents wont aloud near me. Which is a great feeling.

After finally finishing my homework my mum practically comes screaming into my room, im thrown aback as shes crying.

"You got a court order!?" She yells. Crap, that was quick Auntie Ellie.

"Maybe" I mumble. She walks towards me. 

"Why!? were your fucking parents" she screams.

"WHAT PARENTS HIT THEIR CHILDREN? WHAT PARENTS MAKE THE CHILD LIVE THROUGH PAIN? WHAT PARENTS MAKE THEIR CHILD GET CALLED NAMES BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF SHOWING SKIN" i yell back as i peel my top off. She stares at my arms as if she didn't know anything about it.

"Its your own fault you get inbetween mine and your dads fights! Hayley you are being so stupid, you just want me to give you something like always" She yells back. Is she being for real!? 

"you think i get inbetween you and dad knowing this will happen!? when you fight you take the pain out on me by hitting me! Dad punched me full pelt yesterday because of your fight, these scars on my thighs? thats from you burning me with your fag. Don't make this my fault! ITS YOUR FAULT I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE. ITS YOUR FAULT IM CLOSE TO KILLING MYSELF. ITS YOUR FAULT I SELF HARM. I HATE YOU, I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE" i yell again. No matter what she says im not staying here, im going. Im getting out of this house now before i explode. I go to run past her but she grabs my arm. She practically pushes me to the ground, i full down to the ground cringing as i go.

They don't realise how much they hurt me, they don't realise im close to grabbing a blade and going deeper and deeper. They don't even know me. But i don't even know myself.

"You will regret this Hayley, we will win this court case you watch, why would the court want you to go away from your parents?" She whispers as she comes towards my face.

"Because your crap parents" I whisper back. She slaps me round the face, fine i guess i deserved that one. 

"Best get ready its in 2 hours" Mum smiles. Oh shit, Auntie Ellie got that quick. 

Am i ready for this? My last and first chance to get away from here. To get away from the abusive parents and finally start a new life. Is this about to happen? 

**

2 Hours later, my mum calls me down to get into the car. I can't believe this is happening, im about to get away from him, about to get away from my hell hole and start a new life. 

In some ways it hurts.. im leaving the one place i've grown up in, but its not somewhere a child would want to grow up around. Its the worst, but noone knows that, people just think im a freak, or a weirdo. But im used to it, i create my own pain to get away from the pain. I can say it works.. but i regret it when i look back at the scars weeks later. But i can't get away from it, i just wish my parents were normal so we didn't have to do this. But we have to.
