Bethany's POV
"BETHANY?!?!"
I was packing my bags, getting ready to escape the hellhole I call "home" when a loud voice shouted my name. It was my dad. My dad abuses me and keeps telling me I was a mistake. I hate him. I hate my dad. I knew he was going to come into my room so I quickly shoved my bag under my bed, closed my wardrobe and my draws and leapt onto my bed with a book in my hand, pretending I was reading. He bashed the door in and I could tell he was drunk as he had a bottle of Whisky in his hand.
"WHY IS THE BATHROOM A MESS?!?!"
"Dunno, why don't you clean it?"
"DON'T ACT SMART WITH ME, GIRL! IT WON'T END WELL!!"
"I'm not, I'm speaking the truth! Get off your lazy butt and clean it!"
I knew what was coming now. I was gonna get a beating. Again. For life the seventh time today.
"COME HERE, YOU NASTY PIECE OF WORK!!"
"Oh, you're calling ME the nasty piece of work when you're beating me like ten times a day? Righttt, okay then!"
He didn't say anything after that but his actions did. He dragged me off of my bed, along the carpet, giving me carpet burn, out of the door, into the bathroom and opened his cupboard where he kept his things that he beats me with. There's all sorts in there such as a rope, a needle, scissors, a cane, rolling pin and loads more. He's an evil man.
"NOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT TODAY THEN?!"
"To be honest, nothing!"
"OKAY THEN, BECAUSE YOU'RE ACTING ALL TOUGH, I'LL DO EVERYTHING!!"
I know that if I act smart, then I get everything but I just act smart so that maybe, just maybe, a little detail goes into his thick skull of his and makes him realise that what he does is wrong and that he needs to stop. He will stop though because I'm going to escape. And I'm going to do it tonight.
