the park

A/N: i officially hate this book-
______

The final bell rung ran that signaled that school had ended and me and Liam decided on a place to meet up. I texted my mother to inform her that I was going to be out.

perrie: hey mummy. im going out to see a friend. i'll see you later at home.

muma: you might want to spend a night with jade. jonnie and cat are at his apartment. your luggage with your stuff is there. I got a tip from one of his coworkers that your dad is visiting today.

perrie: oh. where are you going to stay?

muma: i picked up more shifts at the hospital so i won't be home for awhile.

I closed my phone and tears dripped out of my eyes. I realized I was sitting in the middle of nowhere.

I don't have my dad anymore, I don't care where he is or if he's off with another family. All I need is my mom and my siblings, that's it. I hated my father, he forced me to do things I didn't want to do at a young age. I'm glad he's gone, it means that there's on less person that's going to screw me over.

Jade walked over and asked what's wrong. I needed to be alone, but I needed someone to lean on. I hated that my dad couldn't just be a dad. He had to be a cheating, abusive alcoholic that cheats out his kids. He uses us, and one day he's going to pay. I want him to stay behind bars, I want him to be caught in his actions.

I hated that man. He hurt me, my sister, my brother, my health, and my mum. And I don't let anyone hurt my mother. My mum deserves the world and he's treating her like crap. That man made my life terrible for 17 years of my life.

"Oh nothing. Just some family matters." I nonchalantly answered her, stretching a small sorrowful smile. She couldn't see through me quite yet. I could really use Cher, my South Shields best friend, she would always help me through this. She knew what I was facing in my everyday life and she made it all easier. Jade also had that affect on me.

"Let me take you home. You clearly look drained, come on." Jade offered and took my hand but I stayed in place. I yanked my hand back as she was dragging me towards a car.

"No thanks. That's the last place I'd want to be. Plus I'm meeting Liam at the park. We can hang later at yours if you want and rehearse with the girls for tomorrow's show." I compromised, now, I could have a place to stay for the night. I just wanted to be with my mum and hug her. God only knows when it would be the last time. I wasn't afraid of my father; I was afraid that he might do something to my mother. He always hurt her and I wanted to slay him across the face every time her did. My dad was a secretive man. He worked as a construction worker but on the side he always dealt drugs and dealt with dangerous people.

I was always around when they bickered and I saw the bruises on my mums body. She would always say that she tripped but she couldn't hide it forever. So one day she set up a camera to show the police at how dad treated her. He was found guilty of things my mother didn't even accuse of him but the truth always comes out. He was charged with numerous counts of domestic abuse, three counts of rape, sexual assault, manslaughter, and use of drug trafficking. Some others accused him of those things and the all had rock hard evidence against him. He was granted 70 years on federal prison with a chance of parole at age 80.

"Yeah that sound really great! And if you ever need a place. Call me." She kissed my cheek and left. Friends.

I walked towards the park and I found that Liam was there sitting on a bench. I wiped all of the stray tears from before I approached the brunette lad. I was glad to have some friends, I thought it would be difficult to make some considering I'm stomping on their senior year with my fresh South Shields blood.
