Call me Diana

Chapter 2- The escape

~Three years later~

Eleanor's POV

Three years...... After three years and everything was still the same. My dad would still come home home late and drunk everyday and I would still get beaten up everyday. Nothing has changed.

Well, maybe some things did change...

The bruises and cuts I received from my dad got more and more. The cuts That I created myself also got deeper and deeper. And the suicidal feeling got stronger and stronger......

It was my 17th birthday today and that could only mean one thing. Double the suffering as my little birthday gift from my lovely dad. (Note the sarcasm)

I've been abused for exactly 6 years now. I sighed as I headed to the bathroom with my clothes for the day.

I stripped off my sweats and stepped into the warm water that immediately relaxed my aching muscles.

~Flashback~

"No daddy. Don't hurt me. Please daddy!" My eleven year old self whimpered as my dad raised his hand. As expected, his hand came in contact with my face as I fell to the floor, sobbing.

"No bitch of mine cries! Get up you whore!" my dad snarled as he kicked me repeatedly in

the ribs. I screamed out in pain as his feet came in contact with my stomach again.

Soon, I was slipping into unconsciousness.

"Oh. Before you pass out, there is something I would like to give you," my dad walked away slowly and leaving me lying on the cold hard ground.

At least I was getting me something for my birthday......

I perked up at that idea. Daddy wasn't that bad after all.

A few minutes later, he came back with a spoon.

You mean he got that for me as a present?

I screamed as he picked me up by my hair and held the spoon dangerously close to my skin.

I screamed even louder as I felt the burning hot metal at my hip. I kicked and thrashed with all my might but his grip just got tighter and tighter. The fork was bound to leave a permanent mark there.

"This is for getting your mother killed in the fucking car crash. Why was it you? Why was it you who survived? It could be her! But it was you! A useless piece of shit that I have to spend money on and take care of. You're just a piece of junk but you had to survive! And your mother died! This is all your fault!" My dad screamed at me as he pressed the metal to my skin harder

I kept screaming and kicking but it was no use.

Soon, I fell limp in his grip as I lost the energy and voice to scream.

Seeing that I gave up on getting free, my dad dropped me to the ground and left me lying there, hurt and vulnerable.

~End of flashback~

I gasped as I got pulled back into reality.

I didn't realize I was sobbing until I felt the warm tears rolling down my checks.

After having flashbacks after flashbacks of what my father used to do to me, I made a decision. A decision that would change everything...... At least that's what I thought so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After my nice, long shower, I went to the basement where i would get ready for my plan. I sighed as I rummaged through the boxes of old stuff.

In the middle of my little search party, something hard fell on my head which made me wince in pain. I took the hard object and froze when I saw what it was.

~Flashback~ (A/N Bear with me. This will be the last flashback... At least for now)

"Daddy. Can you come and push me?" I giggle from the swing as my dad came 'flying' towards me.

I was 4 years old then and I had a perfect family and life. Everything was perfect.

I laughed as my dad pushed me lightly.

"Faster! Higher! Higher daddy! Higher!" I screamed in delight as my dad push me with a little more force than before.

I giggled even louder as my mum smiled at us from a distance.

"Daddy! Stop this thing!" I shouted and my dad immediately stopped the swing.

"Anything for you sweetheart," he said as he kissed my nose.

I giggle and made a disgusted face at him which he returned with a laugh.

"Come on sweetie. Let's take a picture," my mum came running towards us with her phone in hand.

All three of us smiled for the camera as my mum took a picture of the perfect little family.

~End of flashback~

I sniffed and blinked the tears away. That was my perfect little family. But sadly, it's all gone now. I smiled as the good memories flooded through my mind.

Well, I guess I should get going.

I went through every box I could find and finally found everything thatt I wanted and needed.

I took a deep breath and walked around the whole house, taking in my surroundings. This may be my last time seeing all of these... If I succeed...

By that time, the sun was already setting and I knew that was the perfect time to execute my plan.

I took a deep breath (again) and sprinted towards the open door that lead to my freedom but before I could even go pass that door to my eternal happiness, I bumped into something, or should I say someone......

I guess it wasn't the perfect time after all...
