Safe. Home.

They let me out of the hospital two days later telling me I need to not doing anything strenuous for a few days because my ribs was still healing and my ankle was still sprained. I had to keep off it for a little while longer. Unfortunately I had to go home with my father.

Daniel took him to court swaying that I should be with them because first I have no living relatives and second the reason why I was in the hospital in the first place was because of him and that he is unfit to be a father. The judge scheduled a court date at the end of the month and that I should be with my father until then.

Of course I didn't want to go with him that I rather be with Daniel and Miranda but I can't even see them until the court date. I didn't want to go back into that place where I was beaten and raped. Dad forced me into the car and drove away from the people that actually care about me. We didn't say anything on the way there. I just looked out the window while focused on the road.

When we got home I eased myself out of the car, got my crutches and crutched to the door which he opened for me and I landed on the couch in the living room. I carefully elevated my ankle trying not to hurt my ribs. Thank goodness the remote was right next to me or I would have been in deep shit.

I was watching a random show when my father came in and sat in the chair next to the couch. He picked up the remote and turned off the tv. I was about to protest when he began to speak.

"I saw that you lost your baby or may I say babies since apparently you were going to have twins. Of course they wouldn't be here if I was sober enough to remember to wear a fucking condom but I glad there gone. I don't have to deal with supporting you and those things and taking care of them. But I guess that's what you get for being a slut." He laughs harshly."Also I really hope you don't testify against me it's really isn't in your best interest. I'm the best lawyer in the state. They can't put me in jail. That little family can try but it's not going to work at least not in your favor."

"What makes you so sure that you will win the trail. I am going to testify against you because one, you've been like this ever since mom died. Second, it's been going on for years, so I have years of abuse that's been dying to come out. Third, hospital records. I can say what really happened when I went to the hospital. How you threaten me to tell a lie and then continuing what you were doing when I got better. You will go to jail for domestic abuse, child abuse/ neglect, and rape. So I would put yourself so high up there just yet. I would prepare or even yet have a lawyer represent for you instead of yourself just to make it fair. I hope to god thar I don't have to see you after this again."

I grab the remote from the table and turned the tv back on ignoring him. He gets up from chair and walks away He has nothing to say to me and I have said everything to him. He doesn't deserve anything. I glad I had my phone with me and it wasn't taken away or broken. I don't think i can get up those stairs so I guess I'll be down here for awhile.

A week has passed by since. I've been home and my ankle is much better but my rib is sore but now I can walk around without pain. Dad has been cooped up in his office everyday and I've been fixing everything for myself. I cook for myself and clean after myself. He has to cook for himself and I'm not cleaning any of his messes. Lucas comes over to keep me company and hang out when dad is at work.

He always talking about how his dad is working hard to get me to live with them. The trail is next week and everybody is ready for it. I've been lazy and just watch tv and text Lucas all day and when dad gets home we ignore each other. We haven't said a word to each other ever since that conversation we had when I first got home.

Dad must have took my advise because I've seen anther a man with him at home and they are in his office for hours. When he's home I go for a walk or some thing to strengthening my ankle again. I'm also preparing myself to testify against my father. I will be the turning point in the case. When I walk I think of questions they may asks me. Especially my dad's lawyer; they are going to try to make me into something I'm not and dad can threaten all he wants he's going to jail and I'm going to live with Buskers.

Everything is going to change when I walk into that room and when I come out I will be happy i rufuse to belive that my dad is going to win. I feel real love when I'm with the Buskers. They will be my new family. They will love me forever and I can be with Lucas. I will have a brother and a sister and Grace and I will do things together and annoy the hell out of her brothers besides she is not uneven anymore; I'll have her back and she'll have mine.

I'm just waiting for next week to come so I can end my relationship with my father and start new.
