I was woken up the next morning at 10.00am by my mum in capital letter ‘GET HOME AS SOON AS YOU CAN!’ I shut it off and closed my eyes again and rested myself back in Eli’s arms. Eli woke up with me moving around and whispered “You awake?”
I look up at him and whisper back “Yep and I’m hungry.”
We both get up and head to the kitchen. Eli opens up the fridge and they have pancakes in there. He heated them up in the microwave. I ate mine covered with maple syrup and Eli had whipped cream on his. After I went upstairs and got changed into some proper clothes and styled my hair into a braid Eli asked “what time are you to be back at home?”
I quickly texted my mum ‘IM COMING HOME WHEN I WANT TO!’ I answer Eli as “I can go home whenever I want.”
Eli gave a suspicious look and said “Do they even know about me?”
I looked down in sadness and replied quietly “No…I yelled at them I was dating you just before you picked me up.”
He came over to me and gave me a hug and said “You’re scared that they are not going to accept us being together.”
“Yeah my other boyfriend was rich and handsome but terribly rude to me and never respected me. My parents loved him because they wanted some of his parent’s money. When I’m with you I feel safe, respected and loved properly, but my parents want me to date popular rich boys.” I replied.
“They’ll accept us eventually… I know it.” Eli whispered into my ear.
After packing my thing Eli drove me home. When I arrived I was greeted by my parents with one week grounding and I can’t go to anyone’s house for a sleepover, not even my friends or Eli’s! I stayed in my room and waited on my email for Eli to talk on chat message and then facetime me on our laptops.
In the bottom corner of my screen it showed that Eli came online and as soon as you know it I get a call from him on my computer. I answer it and he says “Miss me already.”
I smile and reply “I always miss you when you’re not with me.” He smiles back to me with another flirty smile my whole body feels like I’m melting. We talk for hours on to each other about anything; we even shared a few flirty things to each other. I heard footsteps coming up the stair in my house I tell Eli to keep it down a bit when he passes by but instead he slams the door open and stomps to me.
He screams to me “You’re not dating that vile boy!”
I scream back “Try and make me because he is better than all the other trash you made me date!”
Eli is still watching in shock and tries to say something to my dad but my father raises his hand high and slaps me across the face in fury. I lie on my bed with my hair been messed up and my hands covering my face in fear but my dad then turns me over and hits me in the face again…. I am shaking in fear and crying but the tears were painful as they came down my face. My father storms out of the room and jams my door shut, and left with no apology. I faintly hear my mum and dad screaming at each other then I hear glasses smashing, so does Eli hear in the background. Eli is shouting through his computer “Becky, can you hear me!” but I had already then been knocked out but the violent strikes to my face and head.
I lay on my bed out cold for 15 minutes. I start to hear things but I feel weak to open my eyes but I hear something hitting something else, and then smash in my room. I try to open my eyes but it’s only a little not even half way but I see an arm opening the lock from the outside to get in. I start to sweat thinking someone is breaking in… Eli jumps through the window I felt clam when he came in but in pain. Eli ran to me he sat on the bed got a cloth and picked up my water bottle on the floor. He rested my head on his leg and poured water into the cloth. He swiped my hair away and patted my wounds on my cheek, eye and fore head with the water. He noticed I have my own bathroom, so Eli replaced his leg with a pillow and ran into the bathroom. He grabbed some kind of scars, sores, bruises and bites healing liquid.
He came back over to me and poured some onto the cloth he whispered to me “this may hurt a bit.” He started to pat my bruises and I started to cringe my face and bite my lip hard. Once he finished he said to me “I’ll wait hear until you wake up again.
Eli had stayed in my room overnight and in the morning we both heard my brother yelling at my parents “Leave Becky alone, you’re both bastards and treat me and her like crap!”
Eli peered through the key whole and say Billy fighting off my parents especially my drunk, angry dad. I felt a bit of safeness inside my room knowing my brother wasn’t going to let my dad into my room. I got up and grabbed my essentials and packed it into a backpack Eli jumped out of the window and climbed onto the tree. As I was half out of my room my brother busted through the door and ran to me. He pushed me out before dad got to me. Dad threw more punches but my brother got them all. My brother scrambled to the window and dived out of it he just grabbed the tree. We all quickly hurried down the tree and ran. We ran as fast as we could and for as long as we could.
Eli yelled to us “Not to my house because your parents will come to my house first we will get a hotel room to stay in for the week.”
Billy and I followed Eli. We had got ourselves into a reasonable hotel. As we walked into the room Billy immediately dropped onto the couch. I aided Billy as Eli cooked us some food. I whispered into my brother’s ear “You’re the best brother I will ever have…. Thank you for saving me.”
Billy looked into my eyes and smiled and answered me “you’re my only sister…. I don’t want no sister at all.”
