The ups and downs

It started with a bang...

*pov of Daisy* Flashback to California
Crash. I shot up from bed shaking. What was that? Probably my asshole of a father. I've gotten used to waking up hearing loud scary noises. I was only 13 but felt ancient.

"Where the fuck is my daughter! I want to see her! Spend some daddy daughter time with her!" I started to cry, but I knew I had hide. I go to the same place. The crawl space. There's a little opening in the ceiling in my closet I managed to get into.

"She doesn't want to see you! I don't understand what you don't get! Neither of us enjoy you drinking or abusing us!" I heard the sound of skin hitting skin, mom. "Fuck you cunt! Don't talk to me like that in my house! Guess I can go find her myself."

I hadn't realized I was breathing heavy until I heard my father open the door," Oh Daisy honey. It's daddy, come out come out wherever you are. I just wanna play with you." Silent tears fell down my face, he can't find me. He never does he never has. Suddenly I heard him walk into my closet, he was knocking on all the walls.

He won't find me. He can't get me. I'll be fine. Everything will be fine. I tried to convince myself to no avail.

Within seconds my back was on my floor and I was hyperventilating," why would you hide from your daddy? I love you dear." He slowly moved towards me as I moved away," stay away from me, I-I-i don't like you!" I pleaded.

He frowned," awe don't speak to me like that." "F-fuck you a-a-asshole!" I yelled. The atmosphere changed, what have I done. The dark haired man of six feet jumped on me and started choking me. "DO NOT speak to me like that young lady!" He punched me in the face causing my eye to swell up.

He let go of my throats causing my lungs to get as much air as they could. I coughed," well, I guess we had to play rough today? Why not play a little more." My heart dropped when he grabbed me by the hair and dragged me out of my room. I screamed," Let go of me please!"

He held me by my shirt, he closed in on my face. I could smell whisky on his breath. "Now I'm going to show you a lesson you will not forget." He pushed me down the stair, I could hear my wrist crack as I landed on it over. And over. And over.

I laid at the bottom of the stair," well I'm off to bed, be sure to go to school tomorrow, slut." He walked off to his bedroom and I managed to get myself up. My mom walked over to me and put me in the car and drove me to the hospital.

"What happened to you little one? Looks like you got in a fight!" The doctor exclaimed. I looked at my mom who gave me a death glare," I feel down the stairs, how long will I have to wear this cast for?" He looked through his notes," around six weeks. You should be more careful. If you break your wrist again you may need surgery." Have I mentioned I've broken the same wrist two prior times? Well if I haven't now you know.

My mom drove me home without saying a word," mom why do you stay with him?" She shook a bit at the breaking of silence," he provides, he's a good man. Well once upon a time he was. Before you were born." I slumped in my seat.

"Why does he hate me?" I asked when we got home," she shrugged," you were a twin, but you killed your brother. Well he came out with the cord wrapped around his neck. Most likely due to you." I nodded and went to my room and cried. School will be hell.

"DAISY! Pay attention in my class! Or you will get a detention! Is that what you want?" I looked up at my teacher," no miss. Smith I apologize." I smiled at her and she groaned.

Everyone in the school seemed to be staring at me today. Maybe it's the black eye. Or broken wrist. "Like what happened to you? Did you get lost in like one of your emo band concerts and get beat up? Or was it your father?" I looked at up at father," what?"

She rolled her eyes,"we all know he like hits you or something. But I mean honestly you deserve it!" Her little clones laughed with her. Don't punch her. I gritted my teeth.

"I mean of you were my kid I'd of killed you by now! No, I would of aborted you!" She laughed louder. Don't. Punch. Her. My hand balled up in a fist, "you know maybe you should just kill yourself. Cuz no one here like you!" She shoved me and everyone around us began to laugh.

If i get a detention my dad will hit me even more. But the second time she shoved me I broke. "Fuck off you stupid whore." I loudly murmured. "I'm sorry you have to speak up, I don't speak satan."

"I called you a stupid whore, bitch. I don't do shit to you but you feel the need to be a complete ass to me! Like just leave me the fuck alone!" She looked at the crowd forming around us," you hear that? The thing speaks!" Everyone laughed" I guess she doesn't know her place, she thinks she can speak to me like that. Tsk tsk." She got close to me but the principle can to break the crowd up," Miss. Hope and Miss. Merigold! I do not want this type of behavior happening in my school! Deal with your problems outside of school hours!"

School ended and I walked home, well nearly. The bitch and her friends pulled me into an ally." You thought you could escape me? Ha." Two football players grabbed both my arms," let go of me you goons!" I struggled to escape.

The bitch got her boyfriend and whispered something in his ear causing him to smirk. Soon she left leaving me with the three boys.

"Wh-what do you want with me?" I asked terrified. "Oh don't worry," he held my face in his hands"we aren't going to hurt you, well not too badly." He kissed my forehead and pulled my shirt over my head. "Hold her still boys, we don't want her moving."

I felt the blade touch my stomach, I let out a small scream when he dragged it.

After an hour of torture they let me go. I walked home with blood dripping down my body. I waited until I got home to see the damage.

I cleaned the wound and saw what they wrote, FREAK I cried. Well at least everyone will know what I am from now on.

I opened my medicine cabinet and grabbed the first bottle of pills I saw. I took every last one, I didn't want to come back.
