Dreams become Reality: Book Two in the Carl Grimes Series

Chapter 4

I'm in a darken room. I remember last night. I was in bed, lying on Carl's shoulder. But this was not my bed and defiently not my room. I see a blast of light coming from ahead and squint my eyes so I can see. I see a fat man, green dark eyes like mine, lacking hair on his bald head. I noticed who it was.

My dad

"Molly. Oh you don't know what's coming." He held a belt in his hand. 

I tried to move but my body just stood still. I was in the basement of my house. The lights were dim and I couldn't see well. I felt a striking pain in my back. He was whipping me.

"DADDY! STOP PLEASE!" I felt burning tears streak down my face. 

He hit me a few more times till I felt liquid coming down my back.

"SLUT! WHORE! YOU FUCKING BRATTY ASS BITCH!" He chuckled and left the room.

I cried into my hands and took off my shirt. My back was covered in bloody scars that were purple and throbbing. It wasn't the first time. But then I realized my dad was dead.

"CARL!"

I saw a body next to me and his stringy hair plopped off the pillow.

"MOLLY! It's alright It was just a nightmare!" He put his hands to my face.  

I was crying into his palms and Lori was noticed in the doorway.

"What's going on?"

I sniffled.

"I I I had a nightmare. My dad..." 

Lori walked over to bed and held me tight, pushing Carl away for a few moments. She let out and gave my forehead a light kiss.

"It's alright. Your safe now."

I nodded and she left the room looking back a few times. I looked back over to Carl and just stared into his baby blue eyes. He pulled me to him and my head was in his chest. I choked on my own saliva from crying. His fingers went through my hair and I just wanted to pause this moment forever. After a few minutes, I pulled out and wiped the tears from my face. He had stayed with me the whole night. I smiled at the thought and pulled down the covers. I hung my legs over the side of the bed and put them on the comfy carpet, moving my toes down into it. I walked over to my closet pulling all my hair to the side. I grabbed a long sleeved white shirt with a white tank and some black yoga pants along witth a pair of panties. 

I looked over at Carl staring at me.

"I'm going to take a shower." He hung his feet off of the bed.

"That's what I planned on doing to. Just come back in here when your done." I winked and walked into the bathroom. 

I looked at my red face in the mirror. I took off my shirt revealing my black bra that I had wore to bed. Oh how my chest hurt! I pulled off my gray sweats and turned on the water. I had little soap and shampoo left but we planned on going to the store today so. I felt the warm water and stripped all the way down. I felt the warm water hit my head and let everything fall off my shoulders.

I had just finished drying my hair and had my white sweater on. It was really warm. I pulled on my yoga pants and looked up in the mirror. I grabbed my black hairbrush and ran it through my long brown hair. My green eyes sparkled in the mirror light. I grabbed a scrunchie from a drawer and heard a knock at the door. I see a fairly dressed Lori in the door.

"You look pretty today."

"Thanks. Um, can you braid my hair?"

"Of course hun."
