"Dad, I'm going out!!" I yelled to my dad who was in the kitchen.

"Okay, be careful!" He yelled back.

"Always!" I yelled before walking outside and walking. I was on my way to the park, I've always gone to the park. It started when my dad was yelling at this women on the phone and he told me to go play outside until he's done. My names Toni Raine, I'm 18, and I live with my dad and our dogs. It's been that way since I was 13, after my brother became famous and my mom just dropped me off here, telling me Cameron didn't want me to be dragged into it.

Now don't take that as me seeing him as a perfect brother, he hasn't called or texted or even sent a letter ONCE! I've called, texted, and wrote just to give him updates. As I got to the park, I saw there was no one else besides an older looking lady on the phone looking pissed.

I ignored her and decided to do the mini exercise I usually did: walk 2 laps, jog 2, sprint 1, and repeat. But that was soon interrupted by the same lady starting to yell louder.

"You listen here, Jeremy! I have a right to see my daughter, her brother does too! I don't care if she- Oh, when? Okay, fine but I don't care what she says." As soon as she shoved her phone in her pocket she left seemingly in a mix of emotions, 15 minutes later my phone rang.

"Hello, Toni speaking." I said swinging my earbuds around.

"Hey sweetheart, so I need you to come home there's something I need to talk to you about." He said seeming sad.

"Okay, dad. Is everything okay?" I asked worried as I made my way back home.

"Depends, you'll see when you get home." After that he hung up. I picked up my speed as I saw my house in view but I soon stopped altogether.

"Ayo baby, how you doin'?" A guy yelled followed by a few hoots and hollers. "You looking fine baby! Come on over here!" I turned around and saw a group of guys walking over. The dude who yelled had blonde hair with black roots and a cigar dangling in his hand. Of course it was Angel, he's been doing this for years. He started touching me when I walked passed him a year after I moved here. After I started learning how to defend myself from a couple seniors from school.

"No thanks, I'm fine. I've gotta go Angel." I quickly turned around, which Angel saw as an opportunity to smack my ass, and ran to my door but I still heard them laugh and wolf whistle. When I walked in I let out a big sigh while moving my pink hair out of my face.

"Dad, you here?" I yelled, I heard foot steps before my dad motioned me into the kitchen. I slowly walked over, entering I saw the lady from the park. "Um, who's this?" I asked confused, pointing at her.

"Oh my god she doesn't recognize me, her own mother!" The lady said looking like she was on the verge of tears.

"Well, even if you are my mother, it's hard to recognize someone you haven't seen or spoken to in 5 years." I said running up the stairs to my room. I shut the door placing my forehead on it and breathing fast.

"Hey baby girl~, didn't think I'd be able to get inside so easy." A voice purred in my ear. I turned around and came face to face with Angel.

"Did you sneak in through my window again?" I asked, he only nodded before dragging his hand up and down my arm. "You've got to lock it better baby." He whispered in my ear.

"Wouldn't want someone uninvited getting inside, now would we?" He then licked my ear. I screamed at that point,

"DAD, SOME GUY BROKE IN!!" I yelled, but as soon as I did he covered my mouth and locked the door. He grabbed me and threw me on my bed, I could hear banging on the other side of the door. I looked back at Angel and he had his pants off a blade in one hand and his cigar in the other.

"If you don't stop banging on the door or call the cops, I'll slit her throat!" He yelled, the banging stopped and Angel turned back to me, " That's more like it, come back over here baby." He slurred pulling me back. I started to kick and eventually I got him in the face and junk, he growled at me before taking his cigar and burning it on the inside of my thighs. I started screaming, tears coming down my face.

He repeated it on my arms and a couple on my neck, after he started leaving hickeys. There were sounds of footsteps coming up the stairs and yelling outside but Angel didn't seem to care as he slowly started to go further down. Before he could do anything else, the door busted open and a police officer ran in holding a gun.

After that, Angel was arrested and I had to give my side of the story. Once the police left, I heard muttering from outside. My dad and my so called mother walked in, she sat beside me and sighed.

"So, Toni, I know this is probably against your opinion but we've decided you're coming to live with me for awhile. I'll be leaving tomorrow and next week you'll fly and your brother will pick you up from the airport." She explained, I only nodded, petting my dad's cat, Patrick.

"Can I come visit?" I asked looking at my dad.

"Of course baby girl. Anytime." He said sitting next to me, wrapping me in a hug.
