Never Let Her Go

Snowfields High

Harmony Pov.

I looked at the clock and saw that it was 3 a.m. I just couldn't sleep.

I couldn't stop thinking about how could I be so stupid.

Berkley saw the bruises scattered on my body.

She can't know about what my dad does to me, she just can't.

" why is this my life? Why?" I say quietly.

I have to wake up in 3 hours. The next thing I know I'm crying.

" I hate my life." I cried.

There was noise coming from the left side of my room.

I looked to the left and saw Berkley snoring loudly.

It took me 30 minutes, but I finally fell asleep.

~ 1 hour 30 minutes later

I had been woken up by pounding at the door and I jolted up to open it.

When I opened it, it was my dad and he did not look very happy.

" y-yes s-s-sir." I stuttered.

" why isn't my breakfast ready, and would you STOP STUTTERING." He said.

I flinched.

" o-okay sir, s-sorry sir ." I say.

When he left, I closed the door. I went into the closest and started crying before getting ready.

Since I had my clothes out I went into the bathroom to get ready. When I was done I went to get dressed.

I chose a light blue long sleeve button up shirt, a beige sweater, black skinny jeans, and black sneakers.

Then I ran downstairs almost falling and started to make breakfast for my dad, Erin, and Berkley.

While I was cooking I started singing a poem that I wrote when I was younger.

My life is broken, so broken
I wish my life
Was better
If I stay hopeful

The life I live isn't good
The life I live isn't what I want
I don't think I can do this
No no no

I'm so broken I can't breath
Someone needs to help
I want to be strong
I need to be saved

I was so happy when I was young
It all changed and went downhill
I cry every day
I cry every night

Before the song ended there was a knock on the kitchen door so I stopped.

" h-hello?" I asked.

The person cane in and I saw that it was Berkley.

" you, have a beautiful voice." She said.

I blushed and continued to make breakfast. Erin came in and then my dad.

I grabbed 3 plates and put breakfast burritos on each plate.

" enjoy." I did the best fake smile.

My dad and Erin started eating, except for Berkley.

" Harmony why aren't you eating breakfast with us?" Berkley asked.

" why do you care?" I snapped.

" I don't fucking care." She snapped back.

I rolled my eyes and left to go to school.

Berkley Pov.

I saw Harmony leave and now I'm fucking frustrated. Why is Harmony like this?
