"I'm sorry." The 16 year old girl said nervously as she handed her mother her test. She was really nervous about showing it to her parents since they were very strict and Alison hadn't done very good this time.
Her mother slammed her hand harshly on the table after seeing her daughter's grade of her chemistry's test.
"57%? What the hell is this Alison?" Her voice was loud and the blonde girl couldn't help but shiver a little at her mother's reaction. For some teens with her age, they would be completely relaxed in a situation like this, but Alison had experienced her mother's anger before and definitely didn't want to feel it on her skin again.
"I'm very sorry, mother. I promise, next time I'll do better." By her voice, you could tell Alison was afraid.
"Oh I'm sure you will, or you'll suffer some real consequences. I'm sure you remember what happend the last time you decided to come home with a grade like this." And damn she was right. How could Alison forget? Her mother was so angry at her that she slapped the girl in the face. It wasn't strong enough to leave a mark, but the woman was wearing a ring which ended up bruising Alison's cheek.
The blonde swallowed visibly and nodded her head slightly.
"Be happy your father isn't home or he'd be ashamed of you once again." Her mother stood up from the chair and after signing the paper and handing it to Alison, she looked at the girl with disgust in her eyes,
"Your brother would've done so much better."
Jason DiLaurentis, the golden boy ,had died in a car crash a year ago, the other driver was under the influence of alcohol and lost control of his car, ending up hitting Jason's car and ending the boy's life.
Jason and Ali had always been bestfriends, siblings that were eachother's rocks. Jason took care of his little sister with his life and Alison loved him like words couldn't describe.
Their parents had always been strict, but they used to be a happy family. Jason was the glue of that family and when he died, Alison felt like a part of her died with him. On his funeral, the blonde spoke a few words for him, a poem that described how she has been feeling since his death,
"You never said you were leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knew why. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would've died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place, that no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God took you home. I'll always love you, big brother."
Every time she'd visit her brother at the cemetery, she'd say those words again. Her parents on the other side, turned the hurt of losing their son into anger towards their daughter.
Now more than ever, her mother made the blonde work harder so she'd become a perfect daughter. And even though the girl accomplished things other teens wouldn't, it seemed to never be enough for her parents.
Her father was almost never home, after Jason's death, he seemed to work even more so he wouldn't need to be with his incomplete family.
Needless to say that they wished Alison had been the one in the car and not Jason.
They had said it themselves, oblivious that the blonde was sitting on the stairs, hiding and listening to their conversations at night.
She had heard things that no child should hear, specially not from a parent's mouth. Her life was a living hell, and sometimes, on her worst moments, she wished she was the one in that car too.
But Alison wasn't the only teenager on that neighborhood with family issues. And she definitely wasn't the only who had felt the pain caused by the hand of a parent.
Just a few houses from the DiLaurentis, was the Fields' house. Have you ever heard of that sentence, don't judge the book by it's cover? Well the Fields were the definition of it, in the bad way.
People from the outside saw them as the perfect little family. Two loving parents with a perfect sweet daughter. Don't get me wrong, Emily was a very sweet girl, but her parents became completely different people behind closed doors.
This day wasn't any different.
"Please! Please, dad, I swear it wasn't me! The kid in school lied, I didn't steal anything! " Emily begged her father who had his hand raised, ready to slap his daughter's face as he hold her tightly by her jacket with the other hand.
"He lied, huh? Than how the hell did his phone show up in your pocket?" Her father's eyes burned with anger, her mother standing behind him, shaking her head disappointingly at her daughter.
"I don't know, but you have to believe me, it wasn't me, why would I lie to you? Why would I even steal?" Emily kept crying and trying to get away from her father. She had felt his anger since she could remember and she would do anything to not suffer again.
She wondered who had put the phone there, and why her? She was a girl in school that everyone knew, and everyone liked Emily. But someone apparently didn't, and she would have to take consequences for something she didn't do.
"I don't know. But I'm sure that after today, you'll think twice before doing such things."
And with that, he slammed his hand against his daughter's cheek. The impact strong enough to make the girl stumble. Her lip already bleeding a little, and she knew it wasn't over.
Not even close.
