Chapter 5
Calla's P.O.V.
For the past week I have been hanging out with Sean as much as I could. HIM seemed to like that I wasn't home so he could invite his friends over or whatever he normally does. I have only been caught three times this week. Most of the bruises and cuts are healed and are easy enough for me to hide with cloths or make up.
Sean has been one of the greatest friends I've had. Well only friend. But he's still great. We were supposed to hand out tonight but he had other plans with his other friends. So home sweet home. Yay.
Reaching my house, I peek into the old run down garage to see if HIM is here. He is not. Thank god! Pulling out my key, I open the door and head inside. The smell of weed and liquor engulfs me. Coughing and gagging, I quickly make my way up to my room. Locking the door behind me, I plop down in my bed feeling exhausted. I feel myself drifting into sleep after lying there in the quiet house.

I woke with a start to the sound of a phone ringing. Rolling over I pat my bed looking for the stupid device. Finding it under my pillow I quickly answer it saying a sleepy hello.
"Hello sweety! How are you doing?" I hear an a excited voice that could only belong to one person.
"Aunt Nali? Is that you? Oh My God it is you! I haven't heard from you in a long time. I'm doing great by the way." I am instantly awake upon hearing her voice. I sit up so I'm against the backboard of my bed.
"Yes darling it's me. Sorry it's been so long. I was just calling to let you know I'm coming to visit this weekend. I was thinking about staying there for two weeks? What do you think?" If she stays for two weeks then that means no beatings but that also means that when she leaves, HIM won't hold anything back. I ponder the pros and cons in my head for a couple of seconds before making up my mind.
"I would be thrilled if you came over this weekend and stayed for two weeks. I missed you so much and I can't wait to see you!"
"Ah darling me too, me too. I'll be up at the house saturday afternoon. Don't tell your father" I winced silently when she said father. "I want it to be a surprise." I smirk at that. Yep. Definitely surprised he will be. Wait. Friday? That's this week! Now I'm even more excited.
"Okay! Well I have to go and get ready for school. See you tomorrow!" After she said her goodbyes, I ended the call and checked the time. Six-thirty. Sighing at how early it is I get up and ready starting with a shower.
Dressed and ready for school, I head out of the house quietly with a small smile on my face, making my way to school. Spotting Sean in the distance I rush up to him. Poking his side he turns to me with a smile.
"What's got you in a happy mood Call?"
"My Aunt Nali is coming to visit this weekend for two weeks. I haven't seen her in years!" I practically bounce with excitement as we enter the school heading to our lockers.
"Wow I haven't seen you this happy in like ever. You weren't this happy when you met me. This makes me sad." Just to add to the affect Sean goes and pouts with fake teas pooling in his eyes. I know it's fake because I can see the outline of a smile trying to break out across his face. I give him a small smile in return. Turning to my locker, I put in my code and open it. Taking out only the things I need.
Slamming the locker shut I turn to Sean to see if he is ready. "Ready to head off to Chemistry?" I lean against the lockers waiting for him to finish grabbing his stuff.
"All ready. We should hurry before we're late. You know how Mrs. Stabb gets when kids are late." We both shudder at the thought of her punishments. Instead sending us to detention or something, she decides to embarrass us by teaching the class for the day with no notes or anything. And we have to get it on the spot with everything, words and procedures.
We walk in right when the bell rings. I sigh in relief and move to the back where my table lies. Sean slips in beside me as well. After all this time he has been here, he became super popular. They turn there heads when they spot him with me like I'm not even here. But I don't mind. I'm just glad I finally have a friend. He may not know what goes on at home or why I sometimes show up to school with bruises but I think he has a guess. He has never brought it up which I'm glad.
I shake my head of its thoughts and try to focus back on what the teacher is saying about mixing nitrogen and helium could do.

School was petrifyingly slow. But getting home was slower. Even though I was excited to see my aunt this saturday, the thought of HIM being home early today drowns the excitement and dread fills its place instead. Reaching my house I make my way the steps and through the door. Already waiting for the yelling and hitting. But nothing came. I made my way to the living room to see HIM engrossed on some sport on t.v. He probably didn't hear me come in.
Trying to make it up the stairs silently, I freeze when I hear his voice right behind me.
"Calla Winter! Get your ass down here!" His voice was hoarse but still had an edge to it that I was fearful to ignore his command.
I turn around and see the fury and disgust in his eyes. I know for sure I'm not going to make it out this time. Before I can even utter out a word, he grabs a fist full of my hair and drags me into the living room. Tossing me into the end table. My shoulder slams into causing me to grunt in pain.
I didn't even move when I felt a kick to the stomach over and over again. After the third or so kick I start to cough up blood. Pulling me knees up so I'm in a ball I try to block most of the kicks. But he isn't have any of it.
HIM grabs me by the hair again and drags me to the basement door. Oh no! I know exactly what he's gonna do. Bracing myself from what he is about to do. I feel my body being lifted off the ground and thrown down the basement stairs.
I cry out in pain as my head slams fist down the stairs. Hitting the wall at the bottom. My whole body is throbbing with pain and black spots cloud my vision.
Not being able to keep my eyes open any longer, I shut them and fall into the darkness.
