hurt

chapter 4

Brittany's P.O.V.

'uh I think I should get going'. I looked disappointed at her. 'oh okay'. I said with a soft voice. 'thanks for the ride again'. I just shrugged my shoulders 'it's okay'.

I got into my car and drove off. Well that didn't go the way I was hoping for. I arrived at my house. I unlocked the front door and got inside. As I walk to the living room I heard people talking. I opened the door and I saw my mother with Katie.

'Britt-Britt!' the little girl ran to me and jumped into my arms. I picked her up and looked at her. 'hey kid how are you doing?' Katie smiled and I mirrored her action 'good and you?'

'good so what are you doing here?' I asked a little curious. 'I don't know' I giggled a little at the answer she gave me. I turned to look at my mother 'what are you guys doing here?' I asked again. 'I wanted to know how things were going'. I nodded 'just the same'. I saw that my mother was inspecting me. I tried to cover my hands, because they were blue and red from the fight. But it was too late she had already seen it. 'what happened to you hand?' she asked pointing to my hand.

'nothing' I lied. 'Brittany they're blue and red so something must have happened'. I tried to think of a lie I could tell her. I cleared my throat. 'okay if you really want to know it that badly. I accidentally hit my hand against the lockers at school today'.

'you didn't get into a fight?' I shook my head. 'good'. I looked at the clock seeing that it was already half past four. 'I should go to my room'

'why? We just got here' she gave me a worried look. 'I know but I'm grounded so I'm not even supposed to be downstairs. And you shouldn't be here either, because if he sees you he's going to flip'. My mother slowly nodded 'I know. I just wanted to see your face. Plus, little Katie here misses you a lot'. I looked at Katie and felt sorry for her. 'I'm sorry. When my house- arrest is over I will visit more often okay?' I could see that her little brain was thinking of what to say next. 'promise?' I smiled. 'I promise, but you better get going he's going to be home any minute now. My mother simply nodded 'okay bye' I sighed 'bye'.

I gave my mother and Katie a kiss on their cheek. 'I love you Brittany'. My mother closed the door. I watched them drive off and went upstairs. I sat down on my bed and relived the moment Santana and I shared that amazing kiss. I relived that moment over and over until I fell asleep. I woke up two hours later and I heard noises from downstairs. I got up and walked towards the door and I opened it. My dad hadn't locked it this time so I walked into the hall. I walked downstairs and went into the living room.

'so you are home!' I gave him a confused look. 'yes I'm grounded remember'. I heard my dad scoff 'then why didn't you respond when I called your name'

'I fell asleep' my dad got up and walked towards me. I slowly backed away a bit, but then out of nowhere he hit me. 'hey what was that for' I laid my hands on the place where he slapped me. 'next time answer me when I call you' I groaned 'I was asleep'.

'don't care'. I took a deep breath to keep myself in control. 'you could have also looked in my room to check if I was there'. I said as calm I possibly could. My dad hit me again but this time harder. I grabbed my face with my hands. 'don't tell me what to do!' I looked at him with my eyes wide open. It stayed silent for a while.

'now go make dinner'. I nodded and I started to make dinner.

'dinner is ready' I said whilst placing plates on the tables. We sat down and ate dinner. 'you will be alone for the next coming weeks' I looked up with a surprised look. 'why?' I tried not make a smirk. 'I need to do something'. I nodded 'how long will you be gone for' he just shrugged his shoulders. 'then where are you going?'

'that's none of your business.' I sighed. I finished my dinner. I cleaned up the table and went upstairs. As soon as got into my bedroom I did a victory dance. My dad would be gone for at least the next few weeks so that meant that I wasn't grounded. Now I could visit my mom and Katie, and I could hang out with Santana. I sat down on my bed. I looked at the door and I saw my dad coming in.

'what?' I asked whilst getting up from by bed. 'plans have changed. I'm leaving tonight. Okay this night couldn't go any better. 'okay'.

'I'll see you in a few weeks' I nodded. 'so you're leaving right now?' he nodded and turned around and he walked away. I Listened to him grabbing his stuff and the opening and closing of the front door. I walked to my window and I saw that my dad drove off. 'finally alone' I sighed.
