Love is Not a Game

Chapter 1: Renewed

3 months ago...

I walked downstairs and grabbed a sprite.
"Where's dad?" I asked my older brother Lucas.
"Out with the boys." He said and walked away
"Great..." I thought to myself, that means he coming home drunk. I walked around the house cleaning up all little messes that my brother and I had made so they don't give dad further reason to be angry. By the time my dad got home everything seemed to be cleaned up best it could.
"Whew" I sighed to myself and headed upstairs. Loud banging around downstairs alerted me dad was inside. I braced myself for the drunk yelling that was about to happen.
" LUNA!!! LUCAS!! WHERE'S MY OTHER BEER?!?"
" I don't know dad" I said.
" I don't know either" Lucas hollered from upstairs.
"LUCAS GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW OR YOUR SISTER WILL SERVE BOTH HER ANDDDDD YOUR PUNISHMENTS!!!!!!"
My brother is definitely the protective type and he rushed down in a split second.
"OK OK I'm right here" He slowly stepped in front of me.
"NOW WHICH ONE OF YOU SHITHEADS HAS MY BEER?!?!"
"Neither of us know where your beer is dad" Lucas said calmly. My dad banged his fist down on the counter hard enough to make the glass cupboards rattle. I flinched away. My dad noticed.
"LUNA GET YOUR STUPID MOTHERFUCKING ASS OUT FROM BEHIND YOUR BROTHERS RIGHT NOW BEFORE I LOSE MY SHIT!!!" I slowly stepped out from behind Lucas and looked my dad in the eye.
" I'm not scared of you." I said as loud as I could muster which was barely above a whisper.
"WHAT. DID. YOU. JUST. SAY.?!"
" I SAID I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU! I yelled at his face. He brought his hand hard across my face his ring cutting through my skin. I yelped and held my cheek then he punched me in the stomach. By then my brother stepped in and dad started hitting him.
"NO STOP! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I scream cried. He turned on me and tossed Lukes limp body to the side, I crawled over to him and laid my head on his chest sobbing.
"You gotta wake up Luke... come on wake up..wake up." My dad laughed and walked out of the house. I started to cry uncontrollably.
"Please wake up Luke." He stirred a little bit "Come on, that's it" He opened his eyes a little bit.
"LuLu?" He grumbled
" Yeah. It's me" I smiled through tears.
" I'm gonna get us out of here Lu I promise." He gasped

Present day...

"Hey mom? Do you know where I left my keys?"
"I think you left them in your brothers room kiddo." Ughhh I have to go into Lucas's room... before he's awake... possibly naked...?? Ewwwww!!! I took two steps to Lucas's room across from mine and knocked.
"Uhhh... Luke??? Are you awake??" I heard some stumbling around and then Luke opened the door.
"What do you need Lu?"
"Uhhh are my keys in there?"
"Hold on let me look" He shut the door and stumbled around for a little bit. Then he opened the door again.
"Here you go" He held out my keys.
"Thanks Luke."
"Sure, make sure you grab your stuff next time though I don't want to get up when I don't have to."
"Sure, sorry."
"Nah it's OK just remember."
He shut the door and I walked outside to get in my pink Mustang.
"Bye mom!" I called
"Bye sweetheart!" I heard faintly from somewhere in the house. I climbed in my car and plugged in my phone to play some music, I hit shuffle and Floral and Fading by Pierce The Veil was on. I started jamming out and singing at the top of my lungs. First day at Cherry Hill High here I come!
