Unheard

chapter 2

After a stressful day at school, Maddy dropped me of at my house. When I got to the door, I heard screaming; my heart started beating faster and i walked in only to see that it's exactly what i thought it was only, it was much worse.

My mum and dad were fighting again. I  had to stop my dad from hurting my mum; I know I wasn't that strong and I hadn't healed from the yesterday bruises on my stomach but I had to do something.

I quickly ran into the kitchen and I saw my dad holding a knife, inches away from my mum's throat, I froze as my mum slowly turned to me with tears in her eyes as she gestured at me to get out. My dad snapped his head towards my direction

"Don't you take a step closer or trust me I will slit her throat"

I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and I found myself hovering closer to him,
"Stay back" he warned.
But all I cared about was my mum and within seconds he had his hands on my throat and I felt my back on something hard.

"I warned you not to come closer now that bitch over there has to pay" he said with hatred
"noooo.." I managed to spit out .
He let go of my throat and I fell to the ground, he was inches away from my mum, I have to do something I thought to myself ,my hands came in contact with a wooden stick on the floor behind me; I guess he broke a chair or something.

Immediately I picked it up and hit him on his back; he groaned and faced me and I could see the hatred booming in his eyes at me. I flinched and kicked him where the sun didn't shine.
I took my mum's hand and ran upstairs to treat her wounds
.........................
"Sweetie you didn't have to do that, I had it under control" she said calmly
"Oh really, did you now ?" I asked angrily .
"I just can't see why you can't leave him mum, I mean he is an ass.." I stopped myself before I could complete my sentence and upset my mum.
"honey when you get married you will understand"
"I'm never getting married" I mumbled to myself.
"I'm done treating your wounds mum do you need anything? "
"No sweetie , I just need to rest "
"Ok mum, love you. I'm going to get some things from the store. Bye" I said, kissing her on her fore head, she smiled and closed her eyes .
I went to my room to get changed. I picked out my outfit for my performance that night. In case you don't know, I sing at a club called NEXT, few blocks away from my house. Singing helps me process anything and everything, it's my way of expressing pain but no one knows; not even my mum or Maddy. I'm sorta known as the masked girl there.

I quickly got changed and grabbed my things then headed out but before leaving the house I didn't see my dad, he must have gone to his usual mistress; of course, I sighed and left the house putting my mask on.
