Hurt || 5H

My parents were still not back which didn't really surprise me. My bruise had gotten worse it would be way too noticeable to go to school. So I stayed home instead. It's not like my parents would be back anytime soon. They never have beat me to the point where I passed out it probably scared them and they probably left the state.

My house isn't as bright as it used to be, the walls are a darker shade, it's a lot less bright in the rooms. The outside isn't the pretty colour it used to be. There are weeds growing in our yard. My old room is now a storage space for their useless crap and alcohol.

Our backyard used to be so pretty but the grass is overgrown the pretty apple tree is gone. The mini pond is now a swamp with who knows what growing or living in there.

I don't want to live in fear anymore

"Remember, you can text me anytime."

I shake my head and push that in the back of my mind.

I walk to my mirror. My bones stick out, permanent bruises and scare from my parents were on my stomach, legs, and arms.

I don't want to live like this

The thought was back. I tried so damn hard to ignore it. Lauren's voice ringing over and over in my head.

I hate what I see in the mirror. I grab the scale from under the cabinet and throw it out of anger in the mirror. Both of them smash to pieces.

'You can text me anytime'

With a big sigh, I grab my phone out of my pocket.

5:57pm

'Hey, can we talk?' I text Lauren.

6:13pm

I lose hope on her texting me back. Just as I expected, no one cares for me.

Hey guys

Ah yeah, this chapters a mess, I'm super sorry.
