The Cuts That Tell A Story.

Dad

Travis and Laurence stand there. "AHEM." Laurence says. Garroth doesn't stop. Travis walks over and pulls me up and Laurence pulls Garroth off. We walk home. Half way I stumble. Laurence helps me. He picks me up and carries me home. Once we get there. My mom comes out. "PUT. HER. DOWN." My mom yells at them. Laurence puts me down. My mom walks over to me and slaps me. "WHY IS LILLY CRYING?!" She yells at me. Laurence, Travis and Garroth sit by, acting like they aren't listening. "W-what? What do you mean?" Mom hits me again. "DON'T PLAY THE VICTIM CARD, MISSY. SHE IS CRYING AND SHE SAYS IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU. A BOY SHE LIKES PUSHED HER BECAUSE OF YOU." Lilly is in the window, smiling behind mom. Mom slaps me again. "THAT'S IT! I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND LILLY!" I yell at mom and run away. "DO NOT YELL AT ME." Garroth, Laurence and Travis look at my mom. Laurence walks over to her while Travis and Garroth chase after me. "You have the BEST daughter in the world and you treat her like THIS?! YES. I PUSHED LILLY OFF OF ME. But. For a reason. SHE'S A GREEDY, SELFISH, STUPID BRAT." Laurence yells at my mom and chases after me, too. I run to the hospital and I visit my dad. He's sitting in bed looking out the window. I knock and I walk in. He turns around. He smiles and I smile. I run over to him and hug him. Garroth, Laurence and Travis peek around the door and watch. We sit on his bed facing the window. "How's school been?" I sigh. "It's been ok, I guess." I say looking at the ground. "What's wrong?" He says concerned. "Lilly and mom... They're getting worse..  Everything bad that happens is blamed on me, dad." He hugs me again. Garroth, Laurence and Travis keep watching and listening. "Please.... Get better, dad.... I need you.." I cry while hugging him and he hugs me tighter and cries a little. *Beepbeepbeeepbeeepbeep* His heart monitor is beeping faster and faster. I see. "D-dad?" He's having a heart attack. "DAD!" Nurses come in. They shock him and do all the medical stuff they need to. A nurse comes out to me. "His cancer has gotten worse. He doesn't have long to live..." She says putting her hand on my shoulder. I cry more... She hugs me and Garroth, Laurence and Travis walk up. The nurse goes back in to make sure everything is ok. Travis, Laurence and Garroth look at me. I stand there crying looking at the ground. They're sad. They aren't crying but.. they are sad.. They come over and hug me. We all go home. I sneak into my house and pack up all my stuff and grab my 3 thousand dollars I've been saving up and keeping away from Lilly and Mom. I leave the house and I get my own apartment. My own rules. My own house. My own life. I go out for a quick walk.
