*Aria's POV*
I turn a corner then another. It's dark and lightly drizzling June rain that feels cool and refreshing against my skin. But I can't let anything slow me down. There's way too many trees in this park.
"Aria!"My brother yelled. I can hear his feet stomping on anything that was under him. I can't let him catch me but I'm running out of energy. My eyes keep going fuzzy and I feel dizzy but I have to keep running.
"Leave me alo-ouff!" I just had to trip on a tree stump. I went crashing to the ground. I landed on a sharp rock causing the gash in my arm to break open more. Pain shot threw my whole body. I tried to get up but I just fell back down. I thought this was the end for me. As I closed my eyes I felt my body become lighter and lighter till I was gone.
"Aria keep your eyes open! Don't leave me, I'm right here e-everything will be ok" my brother whispered. Then everything went dark.*6 days earlier*
"I think he's home Joey! I heard the door open." I whispered through my beat up iPhone.
"Stay calm Aria, it'll be over soon, maybe he'll be really drunk and out of energy." We both knew that wasn't true.
"Ariaaaa! Come'r darlin we have a problem." I heard my father's raspy voice shout from the other room.
"Joey I have to go! love you lots"
"Love you more sis." and with that said I hung up and slowly made my way into the living room.
I see my father slouching on the couch. Our apartment is quite big. He's a fisher so we don't have to worry a lot about being poor. I wonder what he's going to use on me as a weapon this time. He looks over at me and his face fills with anger and hatred. I didn't realize what he was doing until an empty beer bottle smashes against my face and I fall to the ground. I close my eyes trying my best to hold back tears. I slowly get up trying to hide my weakness.
"You were suppose to keep the door unlocked for when I got home Aria." He said while making his way over to me.
"I-I thought it was unlocked. How did you get in?" My voice cracked at the end.
"I went back down to the lobby and got an extra key." He said that part louder making me flinch. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer so my face was to his chest. Then with his other hand he punched my shoulder making me crash against the wall.
"You better be more quiet you worthless piece of garbage, the neighbours downstairs might hear you and get angry." he whisper yelled. He was 6'3 and I was 5'4 making him way scarier and taller then me. He kicked my sides about 6 times and stumbled away mumbling stuff under his beer breath. I can't move, my sides felt like they're falling out, I can feel my face bruising and my whole body feels numb. I don't know where my father went but I don't care. I hope he dies. I'm just laying here in the dark and the last thing I think of before I go to sleep is knowing I won't ever have a true daddy that loves and cares about me.〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰
