~~ Emily's POV ~~

I don't think it's possible to stop crying. It hurts. It hurts so badly. The lump in my throat is almost strangling me. I can't breathe. I've had enough. I screamed. I threw my phone on the other side of the room, hearing the satisfying smash of the screen.

I had just read the message Sam sent me. That was enough to top me over the edge. Why did I do this?! Why did I let her go?! Why am I so stupid?!

The phone starts to ring. I glance over at the shattered mess of a screen, just making out it said Chad. I am not in the mood to speak to him, he'll yell at me either way. And he'll hurt me.. I deserve it. I deserve to be beaten. Kicked. Killed. I just want to pain to stop! I wish I could just sleep the pain away.. then I'll never have to wake up.

Somebody walked through my door. It was my father.

"Will you stop making so much noise. Put yourself together and get downstairs now. Somebody is waiting for you. And put some sensible clothes on!" Then he just left. He didn't even think to ask if I was okay. And who was here?

I obeyed my father's rules as much as I could. I cleaned my tears away, but silent tears still falling. I made my way down the stairs, to see my father and dick of a boyfriend Chad sharing a beer and joking over some game. Typical.

I silently made my way over the the pair.

"What do you want?" I ask with a hint of break in my voice.

"Oh god baby what's wrong?" He asks. Faking it of course, like he cares.

"I don't want to see you. I dont want to date you, and I don't want you.on my life," I spat at him, I don't want him anywhere near me. Its people like him that make me fake my existence.

"Chad," my father started. "I give you free will to do whatever you like with this bitch," Wait what?! Your my dad you can't do this!

"What?! Dad what the hell?!" I screamed at him. Chad nodded, face as straight as... Well, not me. Sorry.. no joke in serious talk.

He grabbed a tight grip on my arm. Damn it hurts. He dragged me to the kitchen and took hold of the... Rolling pin? That's solid wood what the fuck?!
"You dare say that again! I dare you!" He spat.

"I! Don't! Love! You! I! Don't! Want! To! Date! You!" I sounded out so his dead ass brain can understand. Rage fired up in his eyes. As if he could kill somebody. Anybody. He punched my face first. Just a little taste of what is to come.

"Oh so your going to hit everyth you dont like now?! Wait, that's what you always do! You never care about anybody but yourself and if something doesn't go your way then it goes no one's way! Your a selfish and horrible brat and you know what?!
I'm gay!" There. I finally let everything out. I'm gay. And everybody needs to know.

He let out a rage of anger. He took hold of the bat, and swung it across my face.

Darkness. That's all I could see. And what can I hear? Ringing. Just ringing.
