Beautiful Distraction

Chapter 9

Chapter 9:

I felt another tear fall from my eye.

Than another

And then instantly I started sobbing.

I placed my hand up to feel my face,

It burned with heat.

I try everything to please my father and I'm treated like this?

I'm his daughter, and he has no respect for me.

I felt lonely, as I got up I quickly grabbed my phone and called Ally.

- Hey girl what's up??

"Ally can you p- please come o-over I'm afraid." My voice shacked the whole time.

- Jade wants wrong???! No time to ask I'll be there in no time!

I hung up and observed my surroundings.

It was such a nice dinner, why didn't he stay with me?

I need to stop asking these questions because I don't know the answer to even one of them.

Before I knew it the front door was slammed open by Ally.

I sighed with relief and a look of shock and disbelief went all over her face.

"JADE OH MY GOSH!"

She ran over to me and say me down in the living room. I told her everything, about the cleaning up, about dinner, about Susan, and most importantly about my father and his harsh words and actions.

"I can't believe this.. You have to come stay at my house Jade, you can't live with him if he's going to do something like this to you again!" She crammed into my arms and tried moving me quickly.

"We can get all your clothes and-"

"Ally, Ally, I tried to stop her. I want to fix this with him, I know what he said but I can't see him doing this to me again, he can't, why- why would HE?" I started to sob again.

"Jade, you can't stay here, that would be a terrible decision." She tried calming me, even though she was freaking out less than a minute ago.

I looked at her sorrowful eyes, she looked hurt, like this tragedy hit her as hard as me. She cared, and that made me feel happy.

"Ally I know you mean well, just let me try to fix things I want to make this right." Even if I was willing to stay at my abusive and alcoholic fathers house one more night, I felt like I could change this. I can't just give up this quickly.

"Jade this is BAD if you're staying then... She hesitated, than spoke, then I will too." She shook her head and looked at me with confidence yet shook with fear.

"No Ally you are not staying here. There's no way I'm letting that happen this is my mess not yours." I moved her towards the exit but she pushed against the force.

"Whatever mess your in is my mess too Jade!" She yelled with frustration and made her way under my arms and through the other side of me.

"Ally this is ridiculous I'm going to carry you out myself if you don't get out now." I steamed. This is stupid there's no way she's staying here.

She squinted her eyes and leaned forward with her hands on her hips.

"I dare yo-"

Before she could know it, I shoved her right out the door and before she could turn to argue.

I locked the door and grabbed my phone and started texting Ally but she beat me to it.

- Open this damn door, NOW!

I texted her back.

-this is my mess Ally, not yours okay?

Before I could set the phone down she texted back, but I felt it would be a continuous fight so I shut my phone completely off.

I had to come up with a plan.

Maybe my dad was out of it, these things don't happen to people like me, it can't.

But it did.

I need to wake up, this is my life and I'm going to make it better, I have too.

I head up to bed not bothering to clean up my dinner that was supposed to be a life changer.

I was tired, and worn out so I need to sleep.

I'll go to school tomorrow early.

Make my bed, clean up after myself.

But I will not clean after my father.

Not after what he did, it may be a stupid choice, or a smart choice.

I guess I'll just have to find out.
