Secrets

Hurt

On the way home he says "when we get back I want your number" "Bossy much?" "You know it." He says with a wink. We pull into his driveway and he hands me his phone. "The password is 4332." Thats a good sign. Already giving me his password. "Okay." I type my number in and hand him his phone back. We get out of the car and he walks me to my porch. "Let's take a picture together, ya know, for my story. Gotta make my friends jealous since I'm with a cute girl." "You probably say that to all the mysterious girls that move in next door." I say, but I scoot closer so we can take a picture. "One two three" He says, but doesn't take the pic. I look up at him and say "you didn't take the-" but I'm cut off because my dad opens the door, obviously waisted. "Dad, hey, um, I just went out to eat." I say taking a couple steps away from Adym. "Like hell you were. Get in here now you little whore." "Woah dude don't talk like that to her all we did was talk." Adym says. I give him a look to tell him to stop but it's too late. "Boy you better watch your mouth before I beat your ass." My dad says. He grabs my wrist so hard I know I'll have a bruise and pulls my in and slams the door. "I told you about Adym so you could be friend with him not fuck buddies!" He screams. I can smell the liquor on his breath. He grabs my shoulder and puts his thumb above my collar bone and squeezes until I scream. Then he grabs my upper arms and starts shaking me violently. "Do I have to do this September? Huh? You know what you did wrong. Maybe now you'll learn." He releases me and I run upstairs and lock my door. I peel off my shirt and see the bruise on my wrist and collarbone already forming, as well as the shape of his fingertips on my arms. I throw myself on the bed and start crying. Even though I'll be 18 tomorrow I don't have the money to move out. I hate this! I wish mom was here to protect me...I doze off for a couple hours before I wake up from a nightmare. I check my phone and see a text.
Hey it's Adym
I set his name as Adym😜🤤 and say hey
Adym😜🤤:You okay? I heard your dad yelling earlier.
Me: Yea I'm fine
Adym: if your dad isn't around maybe we could chill since it's your birthday.
Me: he has a week long trip that starts tomorrow. He leaves while I'm at school.
Adym: okay cool😝 what do you want to do tomorrow?
Me: we could go to the mall, I need clothes and I have a little money.
Adym: okay I'll pick you up from school tomorrow.
