Emily
¨Why is the school calling, saying you missed 2 days of school?¨ Dad asks once I walk into the house. I look over to see him sitting on the couch a bottle of beer in one of his hands.
I watch him quietly, not really sure what answer can get me out of this situation.
¨Don't have anything to say huh?¨ He stands up and drinks the last of his beer before he throws the bottle across the room and it hits the wall next to me shattering. I scream and flinch away from the glass that flies everywhere.
I feel his giant hand grab hold of my hair as he throws me to the ground into the glass and I can feel it cutting my skin.
¨You useless piece of shit get up!¨ He yells and I flinch on the ground. I'm too scared to get up. To stand and have to look into his angry eyes once again. I can't do it.
¨I said get up!¨ He kicks me and I hit the wall. I feel his hands grab hold of me and pull me up as I fall limp not able to fight against him. It's useless to fight and just makes him more angry.
I sit on my knees now in the glass that digs into my skin. He grabs my face tightly making the insides of my cheeks hurt as he forces me to look up at him. ¨It's no wonder you're mother abandoned you. You're so pathetic. I'm surprised you didn't die in that fucking alley.¨
¨What?¨ I muster out between my squished lips and my eyebrows furrow. I never told him where I was left. The only people who know is, Lily, Rhys, and I. How could he know that?
He cocks an eyebrow at me a smirk on his face. ¨Now you want to talk.¨ He shoves my head back into the wall making everything flash white and walks away leaving the house.
I groan and stay still with my eyes closed as my body processes the pain. I feel my lip quiver as tears escape my eyes. I bite my lip as I slowly stand up my body shaking and blood now dripping down my legs. I stumble slowly towards my room and sit on the bed grabbing my phone.
¨Whats up sis? Guess what we are gonna be getting there a bit early, in maybe around an hour or less.¨ Rhys cheerful voice comes through the speaker and I break down crying. ¨What's wrong?¨ He says quickly.
¨My- my dad. He hurt me.¨ I shake my head even though he can't see it.
¨I'm coming to get you okay.¨ I hear him mutter something and peoples voice in the background. ¨Where is he right now?¨ His voice is angry.
¨He left.¨ I wipe at my eyes but more tears come down.
¨Are you okay?¨
¨Not really...I'm bleeding and there is a bunch of glass in me.¨ I look down at my legs and I feel my stomach turn at how it looks. I quickly set my phone down and reach for my garbage as I throw up the little bit of food that was in my stomach. ¨Sorry.¨ I say as I put my phone up to my ear.
¨Its okay...right now we are stopping at Tony's house to pick up his car. Damian is gonna come pick you up, Tony and I have to stop somewhere and take care of some things we will meet you later.¨
¨Okay.¨
¨Alright I love you and see you in a bit.¨ He ends the call and I stare at the wall blankly.

Someone knocks at my window and I look to find Tony. I open it and he climbs in.
¨I thought Damian was gonna come get me?¨
¨He thought it would be better if you're big bro came to the rescue.¨ He give me a small smile. ¨Let me take a look at you.¨ He bends down to look at my legs. The blood is now mostly dry but, the glass is all still in me. He sighs. ¨Fucking asshole.¨ He stands up. ¨It's still pretty bright outside I'm gonna have Lily take a look at it she's better at this stuff than me. Do you have any alcohol or something?¨
