    Natsuki was still proud about the fact that she basically tied for first place! Oh how she hoped she'd make her father proud Too. So once she had her stand cleaned up, she rushed home and walked through the door.
 
    "Papa! I tied for first place at the cooking contest today! In two days I need to have a breakfast meal prepared... However I need more ingredients.." Her father was sat on the couch reading the newspaper. He was rather big, not to mention am alcoholic and of course, he had to be drunk at this moment.

    "You TIED?! Yet you expect me to fork over more groceries?! Do you really think you deserve that?!!" he slammed the newspaper down on the table and stood up angrily. Natsuki knew what was coming

    "N-No sir! I-I'm sorry.." she was scared as tears were running down her face. Her father had grabbed the rolling pin off the counter that Natsuki had uses the night before.

    "You didn't even clean up after yourself yesterday!!" he swung the Rolling pin, hitting Natsuki right across the jaw, causing two of her teeth to fall to the floor. Natsuki cupped her jaw,    

    "I-I'm sorry Papa!! P-please stop!" he swung again, hitting Natsukis right arm. A loud pop and crunch sound could be heard and Natsuki screamed in pure  pain

    "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! TRYING TO TELL ME TO STOP?! Go to your room!!!" Natsuki quickly ran to her room and locked her door. She packed a bag of clothes and texted Sayori

N: Sayori.. Can I stay at your place for a while...?
S: Sure, what happened?
N: I don't want to talk about it o(╥﹏╥)o  I'll be there in 10.

    Natsuki crawled out of her window very carefully and made it to Sayoris with tears and blood on her face

    "Oh my god Natsuki! Come inside, I'll go get a wet napkin!" Sayori runs to the kitchen as Natsuki sits on the couch, crying. Sayori returned and cleaned up the blood, noticing that two teeth were missing and the broken looking arm. "Natsuki... Did your dad do this..?" Natsuki simply nodded "I think we need to get you to a hospital for your arm.. I'll be with you so don't be scared" Sayori gently hugged her friend, not wanting to hurt her in this fragile state. Sayori drives Natsuki to the hospital and they put her arm in a cast and a sling. When they get back to Sayoris place Natsuki sighs.

    "how am I supposed to cook now.. I might have to forfeit..." Sayori stands up

    "I can help! We can make if all tomorrow! And have it already ready for the contest!" Natsuki smiles and begins to jot down her ideas on her phone. She's thinking about making French toast muffins. With melted nutella on the inside with a side of sunny side up eggs. Sayori reads over the ingredients and smiles "yeah we have all of that here! Let's rest for now, tomorrow will be busy!" she helps Natsuki to her guest room and then she herself goes to sleep. They both are excited for Tomorrow.
