Save Me

Chapter 1

I've been with my parents my whole life, and never in my whole history, that I would ended up being this miserable in my life. I did felt love from them at some point, but when my teen years came, I don't know where it go. Everybody keeps on talking about me and also asking me the same damn questions, and I keep on telling them the same damn answer. I never wanted them to know what the real reason was 'cause I don't wanna see them getting pity on me and telling me everything will be okay.

"Ishiko! Get your ass up, we don't have time for your shitty laziness right now!" Mom burst inside my room, she took my belt off and whipped me with dad's belt on my arm, "all right, all right, I'm getting up!" I said. I stood up and fixed my bed, trying to avoid any more violent towards me, but little did I know, Mom pulled my hair, and slam me against the wall, "useless bitch," she muttered and left me laying down on the floor, "why does this keep on happening to me?" I whispered in pain. 

I don't have time to cry my eyes out, I stand on my feet, and put on my uniform, covered all my bruises from head to toe with a long sleeve and leggings, covered my scars on my face with a clean makeup. I went outside, I should feel the morning breeze, but I can't feel a thing, I walked my way to school, hopefully no one would notice a single scar.

I obviously got no friends, 'cause who would be friends with a abused girl living with an abusive parents, but I'm fine with it anyway. "Morning Ishiko, are you okay?" my classmate asked, I gave her a smile and nod to her, until I saw a student approach her and push her away from me, I even heard their conversation.

"You shouldn't be talking to her."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"You never knew? Her parents abuses her everyday!"

"Oh my god, really? Well I'll just leave her alone."

For some reason, I don't have to hide my bruises, mostly every student knows about it, I wanna scream my head off, but I don't have the guts to do it, so instead of looking like a pity ass in front of everybody, I decided to take my bag and ditch school for today.

"Miss Miyarozu, where do you think you're going?" my teacher asked, I stood frozen for a second until I looked back at her and lied with an innocent face, "I'm just going to the bathroom ma'am, a personal one." I gave her a slight smile, I walked away afterwards and left the campus. I wander around the city, and buy some snacks to stuff up my empty stomach, "let's see, if there's a boba shop and --- woah!" Through my excitement, I ran to the boba shop and ordered what I want. "Excuse me ma'am, can I have a one regular size milktea with boba, please."

"Sure, sweetie, but aren't you supposed to be at school?" the woman asked.

"Oh, our school's under construction, I literally forgot about it this morning, so I went there with my stuff, but remember about it, so I decided to stop by here." I lied again, I waited for a few minutes, until I have my snacks, I went to a park and watch people pass by.

"I never felt this kind of freedom in my fucking life!" I shouted, I layed down on the grass, watching the clouds move in a slow motion, the sun came through my face, it felt so warm , until somebody blocked it, I got confused and opened my eyes, holy shit it's my worst nightmare, "what the hell are you doing out here?! Aren't your ass supposed to be at school learning how to be a perfect person?!" Mom shouted, she grabbed me by my ear and drag me all the way to her car, "Mom there are people watching!" I shouted, I keep on looking at everybody, signaling for help, but none of them dare to help me, "you're all so cruel," I thought.

Mom tied my hands behind my back, and rush us home, "even if you didn't skip school, you're still going to get tortured anyway," she laughed hysterically, I guess, I was a mistake that's why they kept on torturing me, until my last breath. 

"Oh honey, we got some torture to do!" Mom called out Dad, and I can hear his footsteps going down the stairs, "well well well, looks like this is going to be a more painful torture for you, Ishiko," Dad gave a sinister smile, Mom went up to him and kiss his cheek, "that's my hubby!" Dad went to our basement and took out their daily weapons to abuse me, the belt to swing it across my face, the bat to knock me out like a bitch, the chains to tie my legs and arms tightly and bleed, but I heard the click of the gun, "what the hell?!" I thought.

"W-where did you get a gun?" I asked him.

"It's hidden in the basement for a long damn time, sweetie."

Mom made me stand on my knees, I couldn't stand on it properly since my knees are too injured, "this is the end for me," I thought. Dad pointed the gun on me, I took a deep breathe, and closed my eyes, "it really is the end," Dad put the gunpoint on my hand, and I heard the click of the gun, but my mind went blank, I felt knocked out, but not dead on the brain, like a head shot.

I don't know how long has it been since that afternoon, but my eyes are all closed, too damn hard to open it since I have no strength yet, I felt that I'm still breathing, "am I dead? Can I still get out of here?" I keep on thinking about those questions, until I heard the rain, right, my hearing is coming back since I'm starting to regain conscious. 

Until then, my eyes were open, I looked around, it's damn dark, I tried to move my body, but I'm in pain, still managed to get myself up a little, I was able to sit my ass down, and looked at my body as my vision's adjusting, "oh won't you look at that? Chain marks, belt marks, and one big hit on the head by bat," I said jokingly. I hold on to the table near me to stand up, until I noticed a more painful feeling on my leg, "what the shit?" I saw a gunshot on my left leg, "son of a bitch, why did they kept me alive anyway?" 

Until I realized, it's my chance to escape, I took a jacket with me and opened my door quietly, I secretly went to our basement, it has an exit door on it, "goodbye demons, hello freedom!" I said quietly, I tried to keep my pace and exited on our gate, and felt the rain down on my face and my body, "now this is freedom!" I shouted and started laughing, I started to walk away from my house, but in my suspicion, I felt somebody's watching me, "oh not now," I whispered.

I started to fasten up my pace, try my best to get away from whoever it is, the more I keep up on my pace, the more the footsteps coming in close, until I step my left leg, the scar triggered me and fell on myself, "come on, not now!" I shouted, I looked back and saw a person standing behind me, I couldn't react right away, he grabbed me by my jacket and pin me against the wall, "you have nowhere to go anymore, you little bitch!" it was a mysterious guy, it's not my dad, "I know there isn't, just do what you gotta do, I don't have a purpose on living in this world anyway." I gave the guy a cold face, but he gave me a "what the hell" face.

We looked at each other for a second until I flinched from the pain of the gunshot, he looked down and saw the gunshot, I might not see this person's face, but it looks like he doesn't wanna do anything bad to me, "I might sound crazy for talking to a mysterious kidnapper like you, but please, my life's already in danger, just take me with you, it didn't look like you really have the guts to kidnap me, so take me, I don't care."

I was losing my sight, until I heard his voice again "well then, let's go," he put me on his back, it felt so warm, and I could feel myself finally distancing from that hell hole, it might've sound misunderstanding and confusing for him since I can't think straight right now, but at least he get the point, whoever he is, I owe him one for saving me.
