《Jesy and her mom in the picture》

J E S Y

I was running as far as i could. This happend every single day. Or he would slap and kick me or just yell at me for 20 minutes or longer. Me forced to listen to his insults.

I stopped running when i reached the center of the city. Where could i go now? I mean, i had no friends to sleep and going home wasn't an option either.
I grabbed my phone and looked at my lockscreen. It was a picture of me and my mom. I was around 13 years old in it. I smiled softly.

Suddenly i got an idea. I clicked on my contacts and dialed my mom's number. My phone rang.
After a couple of seconds i heard a voice on the other side of the line.

"Hello? Melody speaking"

"Hi.. mom?"

"Hey Jesy Sweetie, how are you?"

I stayed silent.

"Jesy? Are you still there honey?"

"Y-yeah" i stuttered.

"What's wrong?" Her voice sounded worried.

"Are you home?"

"Yes sweetie" she answered.

"Can i come over?"

"Door's always open for you"

"Okay, see you in 5 mom"

Then she hung up.

I locked my screen and put my phone back in my pocket. I sighed and walked towards my mom's house. When i arrived she was sitting on the couch.
I rang the doorbell and my mom almost immidiately opened the door.

"Hey honey, come in" she said with a soft voice.
I nodded and followed her into the small living room.

"So, why did you want to come over?"

"Well.." i scrached the back of my head.

She raised one of her eyebrows and looked straight into my eyes. She grabbed my chin so i watched straight into her brown eyes.

"Honey, you know you can tell me everything"
"Everything"

I nodded and sighed again.

"I'm getting bullied at school and.. dad is always drunk" i said softly.

My mom covered her mouth with her hands.

"Oh sweetie i'm so sorry"

She pulled me into a hug. I felt her hand strike over my hair and her warm breath in my neck.

"You can always stay here" she said, looking straight into my eyes.

I nodded and hugged her again.

Then my phone buzzed. I grabbed it out of my pocket and saw the name "Dad" on my lockscreen. He was calling me.

Shit.

I answered the phone.

"Yes?" I asked soft.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" My dad sounded really angry.

I looked at my mom as my eyes started to water. She looked worried.

"I.. i uhmm"

"YOU WHAT? TALK YOU FAT MORON"

Tears slid down my face. My mom was already rubbing my back. She probably heard everything because my dad was literally yelling.

"COME HOME IMMIDIATELY STUPID WHORE"

"Yes dad.. "i said soft and then he hung up.

I started to cry really hard. Not as in movies. No. I was ugly crying. My mom pulled me into a hug and was rubbing my back as i was sobbing into her neck.

"Shhh, it's gonna be alright"

I stopped crying.

"You know what?" She said. "I'm gonna take you on holiday to Brisbane"

My eyes widened as i heard the word "Brisbane" i mean that's a city in Australia.

I smiled soft at her and nodded.
"Thank you mom"

She smiled. "I'll call you when i booked the flight sweetie"

10 minutes later

I was walking in my own street. I was afraid. Afraid of my dad. I don't wanna get beat up. I saw my house and started to walk slower and slower. Then i reached the house.
One light in the living room was on.
I grabbed my key and walked into the house.
I heard my dad mumbling to himself.
I hung up my coat and walked into the living room as scared as i was.

"There you finally are" my dad's voice sounded harsh.

"Where were you?"

"Mom" i answered.

He looked at me.
He had big eyes with big bags under it and his hair was messy.

"I just wanted to talk to her" i continued.

"About what?!" he sounded harsh again.

"School.. dad i'm getting.."

Before i could finish my sentence my dad started yelling again.

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!"
He stood up and walked towards me.
He grabbed my arm and squeesed it till it was blue/purple.

"Oww" i whined.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled.

Before i knew it i was laying on the ground with a burning cheek. He just slapped me.

Then i felt a couple of kicks in my stomach. I cried.

"YOU'RE WORTHLESS"
"YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING"
"FAT SLÜT"

Another kick.
I couched and collapsed on the floor.

He went to sit down again and i immidiately ran upstairs. Locking myself in my room.
I looked into the mirror.

My arm was blue, blood was running down my nose and there was another purple spot under my eye. My cheek was red like a tomato and my stomach hurted really bad. I fell onto my bed and fell asleep.

Crying.
