Silence Is My Forte

Chapter 4: going home

Home Time

The fear that I felt when the clock stroke 3:15 was almost sickening. I hated going to that house; I didn't know what to expect when I get there. Was it gonna be a beating; or a burn; or even the night in The Room? I guess anything is better than a night on The Room.

The Room was a room in the basement of the house that was secluded to any visitors that came to the house. In there I would have to sit in a chair that had straps to hold down my arms and legs. They would keep in my underwear and throw ice cold water on me: burn me with cigarettes and cut me with a razor but shallow so it could heal without a scar. They gag me so the neighbours wouldn't hear my screams. When they are finished with their 'fun' the mother leaves the room and the father sits in front of me and explains what I have done wrong then will beat me with his leather belt. Then untie me and lock the door so I would have to sleep like a dog on the floor.

I have only been in there once and that was because I tried to report them to the authorities...well I learned my lesson that day and I never want to go into that room ever again.

I guess it was only for when I was really bad.

"See you tomorrow Court" screamed Vicky as she walked out the school and to a waving Cindy and Natalie. I waved back at all three of them as I made my way to the bust stop on the other side if the road.

I looked at the bus times and gave out a sigh as it read 10 minutes.

"Hmmm what do we have here boys?"

I turned around to see no one but Nathan himself and his 2 buddies......on motorbikes. I stared at them and their motorbikes in absolute awe.

Where the hell did they get motorbikes?

They all took off their helmets. The boy one on the left of Nathan had dark brown hair that was cut short into a fade hairstyle. From what I could see his eyes were light brown as the sun shined on them making them sparkle with mischief. He had had a black and green bike .He was just a little bit darker and very sexy but not as sexy as Nat- no no no no I did NOT just think that. Anyway moving on, the other one on his right side had caramel skin with hazel/blue/brown eyes that were mesmerising and highly confusing because they would change occasionally according to the way the sun shined. His hair was amazing. It was light brown and looked very soft and curly; it went down past his neck and at the moment it was in a pony tale. His bike was yellow and black. Nathans bike was full black with streaks of red.

In a nutshell they were all sexy AS FUCK.

I snapped out of my mesmerisation I turned back around to the direction the bus was coming in with a roll of my eyes and a huff that escaped my lips.

"Aww I'm touched that your so happy to see me." he said laughing with his friends. "The bus is still 8 minutes so I have time to fuck with you." he said with a smirk

I pretended like he wasn't even there and neither were his friends.

"Hey why don't we just leave her alone Nate. Looks likeshe doesn't want to be bothered and just wants to get home" said the light skin one. I turned and gave him a shy but thankful look to show my appreciation, but for some reason the playful look on Nathanial's face became hardened and cold for a split second then became playful again but it wasn't the same as before.

"Chill Jordan man I'm just fucking with her a bit, there was no harm done was there? No? Exactly." he said with frustration "We have to go anyway, we have... stuff to sort out for tonight"

Hmm I wonder what he is on about ?...You know what I don't care.

I saw my bus heading to my bus stop and I flagged it down preparing my bus pass.

"See you tomorrow Baby Girl," Nathan said with a boyish grin just before they all put on their helmets and rode away and just before I got on the bus Jordan stopped and snapped back the face cover of his helmet and looked back at me and gave he the cutest smile I have ever seen then continued to roar down the road and all the while I could feel the leftover students stare in astonishment and I honestly didn't care.

I was honestly surprised to see this playful side of Nathan outside of school because when he is in school he is so serious and closed of but when he is with his buddies he seems so carefree and even that bit more sexy.

The whole bus ride his smile was the only thing to occupy my mind not even the nasty thoughts of the rest of my evening could wipe the stupid grin that decorated my face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alcohol and cigarettes was the smell that greeted me when I got to the house. it was very pungent. Now that the authorities had visited for the month they had the freedom to do whatever and not get caught. The smell honestly made me feel so sick to the stomach and had to cover my nose with my school jumper.

"Finally your fucking home, your mother and I are starving here hurry up and start cooking we have been out all day and the least you could do is cook for us you worthless, ungrateful, bitch." he ended his rant with a harsh back hand to my face. He started out quite calm but progressed to get angrier with every word he spoke and the alcohol in his system that i could smell on his breath didn't help either.

I quickly put away my school bag in my room and made a beeline for the kitchen. I made his favourite which was Mac 'n' Cheese with salad was also a favourite to mother as well. Soon I had finished I set the table with 2 seat's and put the plates of food at each spot as I wasn't allowed to eat with them. just as I had finished he walked in with a bottle of Jack Daniel's in hand.

"Good girl now go and take your food to your room and don't let me see you again unless I call you. Understand?"

I was slightly confused but none the less I obeyed and took my plate to my room. I should be happy there wasn't a real beating but I couldn't, he could come whenever during the night and decide to trash my room or pull my hair or beat me till I couldn't stand.

So for the rest of the night I just I finished any homework I was assigned and stayed awake until I saw the light under my door switch off and I heard footsteps go to the room at the end of the corridor.

I sighed with relief when I looked at my clock to see that it was only 10:30 which meant I had time to get a good enough sleep.

But the question was what is up with my parents?
