Tough Love

Chapter 1

He's back.

I can hear him.

There was a time, long ago, when I wasn't afraid. When I was carefree, and I was happy.

I quickly made my way to the living room and sat down, watching tv. Well more like looking at the screen.

I wiped my palms on my pants, trying to calm myself down.

I heard jingling of keys and the door click. He slammed the door close behind him and I frantically looked at the tv, trying to act calm. Well more calm than I am at the moment.

He stumbled in the living room, holding the wall for support. He looked at me and curled his face in disgust.

"H-hey. Your back. There is some Advil and a glass of ice water on the counter, and your dinner is at the table. It's still warm." I forced a smile and climbed off the couch.

I actually had to reheat his food considering I made dinner hours ago, but he was out at the bar like always.

I cautiously walked toward him. I walked past him, heading to the kitchen but he grabbed my wrist and yanked me back.

I winced but tried to hide it.

" where's that pretty daughter of ours." He whispered in my ear and smirked. My nostrils were clouded with the same stench of vodka I smelt almost every night the last couple months.

" sh-she is sleeping." I said with a shaky breath.

" get her in here, now." He spat and shoved me to the ground.

I fell and grabbed my ankle in pain, which have him the satisfaction he craved. He laughed at my helplessness. The bruises on my wrist throbbed but I ignored it.

" sh-she's sleeping, she has school tomorrow. I don't want to wake her up." I whispered.

" what was that?!" He roared.

" I-I said I don't want to wake her up, she has school in the mo-" u was cut off when I felt a sting to my cheek.

" I didn't ask what you wanted to do, I gave you an order and I expect it to be obeyed!" He yelled in my face.

"J-Justin I'm sorry, p-please don't hurt me." I fought the tears threatening to spill over. If I show him I'm weak, it will give him the reaction he wants.

" I'm going to bed." He walked past me, kicking me in the process. I watched him until he walked in the room and slammed the door.

In slow, painful movements, I got up and headed to the kitchen to clean up the dinner he didn't eat. Once I was finished I grabbed the Advil and glass of water, heading to the room. I walked to the bed and placed them on the nightstand.

The light snores coming from his motionless body confirmed he was asleep. I pulled his jeans off and threw them in the laundry hamper.

It was gonna be another long night.
