Race to the Finish

Race to the Finish chp.14

I park the car outside my house. The lights are all off. The wind is howling in the dark night. The moon seems dim and looks like it's hiding behind the trees out of fear. The whole scenery is creepy like from a horror movie. All we need is the chain saw because we already got the psycho. He's hiding somewhere in that house I have to call home. The difference between a horror movie and now is that first this is f*cking real life and that the movie isn't, the second difference is that the girl in the movie didn't know the psycho was inside the house and we do, and the third is that the girl in the movie knew she was going to die when she saw the psycho killer we, we don't know what the hell he will do to us. Sometimes I wish he will just finish me, but then I remember I have to worry about Jaiden and not myself she's so much more important.

Jaiden finds my hand and grips it tightly as if she was holding it as if her life depended on it. If she lets go she wouldn't be alive anymore. I look down at her and she looks up at me. Her honey eyes are filled with fear and unshed tears. It breaks my heart to see that look in her eyes after I saw them shinning with happiness and joy at Titi's house.

I take a deep breath and start moving forward. We go to her window and I try to open it, but it won't budge. I start to panic a bit. Never ever has this window been locked. I let go of Jaiden's hand and try to open again and again. It's locked.

"Shit!" I yelled looking up at the dark night sky. I run my hands through my hair and grip on it tightly pulling on it harshly. That bastard figured out we enter through the window in Jaiden's room and locked it so we wouldn't have any other choice, but to enter through the front door.

"What's wrong Alex?" Jaiden asks in a quiet, but panicked voice.

I grab her hand and walk towards the front door. "Come on."

We reached the front door and I turn around to face Jaiden. I kneel down so we could be eye to eye and I grasp her shoulders firmly. "Listen to me Jaiden. As soon as we go inside I want you to run to your room. Don't hesitate, don't worry about me or anything else, you just run and lock yourself in there. Do you understand me?" I ask her firmly.

"B-but Alex-" She begins, but I cut her off.

"No buts Jaiden. You run to your room and lock it!" I almost yelled.

A single tear escaped her eye and she nods. I hug her tightly and with so much love.

I then stood up and faced the door once again with Jaiden safely behind me. I take a deep breath and turn the knob slowly. The door yanks open and my father yanks me in by my hair. I hear Jaiden scream and run to her room and lock it.

"You bitch! What do you think you can go days missing and take your sister with you?! I don't think so!" He spats.

"What you all of a sudden care about us, bastard?" I said sarcastically with a grin.

He threw me against the wall and started punching me in the face. Blood trickled down my face which began burning. He back hand slapped me with huge rings on his fingers. He then took his belt off and beat the shit out of me with it. He even hit me in the face with it. All over the house you could hear the wiping sounds of the belt coming in contact with my skin... with my face.

"Who do you think has been feeding me?Huh? Not your mother that's for sure. You were supposed to cook me food everyday which you haven't been doing!" He yelled at me.

He grabbed my neck lifting me up the ground. I enclosed my hands in his big grubby hands trying to pry them open fro me to breathe. He dragged me to the kitchen and over to the stove.

"This is a stove! Where you are supposed to cook f*cking food for your father!" He spat.

He turned the gas stove on, igniting the fire and pressed my stomach onto the fire. I screamed in agonizing pain. A silent tear escaped my eye that I couldn't hold back. He pressed me harder against the fire burning my stomach. He finally pulls me back by my hair and throat. Most of the skin on my stomach was burned off. Now there's only sizzling red burning flesh. That hurts more than a motherf*ucking bitch!

"Guess who has been taking both yours and Jaiden punishments. That's right your good for nothing bitch of a mother!" He whispered in my ear. His breath hitting my face makes my skin crawl in disgust.

He yanks me to the side and smashes my head against the kitchen counter. He lifts my head back up.

"Where's my money?!" He yelled.

"I don't have any! I had to spend it all in the hospital for Jaiden!" I yelled angrily, but firmly back at him.

"You bitch!" He punched me right in the left eye. I screamed in pain and stumble backwards causing me to trip over a chair and land on my ass.

"I want money by tomorrow or I will do the same thing to the little pest that I did to you!" He yelled and walked, no swayed to the front door and left.

F*ck! I need money. I can't let him do this to Jaiden. I just can't it might even kill her. I have to go to the street race tonight. It's the only way I will get him money by tomorrow. What the hell am I going to tell Titi when he sees me like this?

Oh god! My mom. I feel like an awful daughter. I wasn't here for my mom. She had to take all triple the beatings. He beat her up for her, Jaiden, and me. This is all my fault I can't even imagine how she looks like. I should've been here!

I got up from the floor and my head began pounding. Everything was moving around. I put my hand on my forehead, suppressing the pain from touching my forehead where I'm sure I had multiple cuts and bruises, to stop the spinning in my head. Once I felt stable enough to walk I headed for the bathroom.

I turned the bathroom light on and turned to the mirror. I looked worse than hell. My left eye wasn't black, it was purple. My face was practically deformed. I had deeps cuts and bruises all over my entire face. Blood was gushing out of my head and dripping from my face. I washed the blood off my face and wrapped a bandage on my head and stomach. I looked slightly better, but not by much just no blood on my face. There's blood on my shirt so I have to change.

I went to my room to change my shirt, or rather Penelope's shirt.

There are burns and scars all over my body. Even if I do manage to escape this hell-hole I will never be able to forget my childhood or him for that matter. I will have these reminders for the rest of my life.

I shook my head.This is no time to be thinking about this. I have to hurry and get to the street race before it begins.

I changed into a maroon t-shirt that had a picture of Maroon 5 on it.

I couldn't let Jaiden see me like this and I couldn't leave without telling her so I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote her a note.

Jaiden,

I'm o.k. I just need to go out for a while. I'm be back later tonight. Don't wait up stay in your room and sleep. Don't unlock the door, but please unlock your bedroom window. I need to get in through there. I love you so much.

                                                               -Alex.

I folded the note in half and walked out of my room. I stopped in front of Jaiden room and I could hear her crying. I took a deep intake of breath before I bent down and slipped the note underneath her door. I stood up and walked out the front door and to my motorcycle.
