When Push Comes To Shove

Found - Chapter 1

I was quiet as I slipped on my leather jacket on over my band t-shirt, skinny jeans, and combat boots.

"Sissy?"

Crap I thought maybe not quiet enough...

I turned around to see my 6-year-old sister in her ragged tank top and ripped shorts.

"Yes, Izzy?" I asked as I picked her up and rested her on my hip.

"Where you go?" She asked in her tiny voice. It echoed all around the cold, empty room.

I laid her on the bed and pulled the towel that she used as a blanket up to her chin.

"Nowhere baby girl, just go back to sleep so we can go to school tomorrow ok?" I responded quietly. I knew, if I woke up my parents I'd have another scar to add to the others.

"Ok -" she paused to yawn "night night sissy"

I sat and watched her breathing slow to a steady pace, as her small frame went almost completely still.

As soon as I knew she was asleep I slowly climbed out of our two story window and clung to the pipe running down to the ground.

Once I got to the ground I took off running.

I shrieked loudly as I felt someone pick me up from behind and put a hand over my mouth.

I started kicking and punching fiercely but stopped when I heard the familiar voice.

"Geeze J! Calm the fuck down,"

I breathed a sigh of relief when Carter put me down. After I punched him in the arm of course.

"I deserved that"

"No duh," I exclaimed as I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. I had to stand on my tip toes as he was 6'1 and I was 5'7.

I relaxed slightly when I felt him wrap his arm around my waist.

"I missed you, love" He said as he nudged his face into the crook of my neck.

I felt a tear fall down my cheek as I replied quietly.

"I missed you too, but I don't have much time. My dad went to bed earlier last night so he'll wake up sooner."

I felt his arms tighten around me before pushing me back to arm's length away, with his hand on my shoulders.

"Is there any more than last time?" He questioned

Yes

"No"

"Please don't lie to me, Jamie" His voice was strained, and he looked like he was about to cry.

I moved my long, straight black hair to the right side of my neck, so he could see the partially  fresh cut I had gotten two nights before because I was late coming home from school. Which caused dinner to be late.

He breathed in sharply, his face paled like the moon when he saw it.

I looked around wearily the abandoned warehouse when I heard something move. Carter let go of my shoulders and looked around as well.

"Jamie! I know you're in there!"

I tensed up as the stress begin rolling off of me in waves when I heard the voice I hated most.

My father's.
