**Hailey's POV**

I walk past my mother in her coffin, as she looks peaceful, I plant a kiss on my fingers and then I place my fingers on her forehead, saying one last goodbye. I smiled a tearful smile thinking she's in a better place now. As I walked out, my dad was drunk from the after service, and he told me to get in the car. I shook my head no, not risking an accident.

His usual crystal blue orbs now dark with anger, he forced me into the car, and drove home, almost crashing several times. As soon as we made it home, he looked at me with anger and I took the keys and ran. I fumbled with the keys as my dad inched closer to me, his breath smelling strongly of alcohol. I ran into my house and up the stairs into my bedroom, quickly locking the door, pulling my dresser in front of it.

He gets scary when he is drunk. I look out the window, the moon making the snow sparkle. Then I had a flashback with my mother.

**Flashback to being 8 years old**

I was holding my moms hand as we walked down my driveway, snow falling into our hair, as her green eyes staring back at me. "I love you Hailey. I love you so much no matter what happens darling, I love you. I can't say it enough." she said. "I love you too mommy." I say planting a kiss onto her cheek, the wind blowing my blonde hair into my eyes.

**End of flashback**

I snapped out of my flashback by keys jiggling into my door knob, my dresser being pushed out of the way. That's when the beating started.
