True Home

The Night of Horror

I hear very loud, angered footsteps coming closer, and closer to my room. I freeze not knowing what to do and I feel like I can hear Jerid yelling for me but I am silent and unable to utter a single word. 

Before I even knew what was happening my door flew open and Edward came bursting trough with a beer bottle in hand. 

"What in the hell do you think you are doing little girl?! He screamed at me from my door frame. 

"I....I don't know what you are talking about..." I started to back away not realizing I was backing into a corner.

"Oh don't you dare give me that line of b.s! I know you are talking to that boy next door." He walks closer and closer towards me. "You know what I told you, you are not allowed to talk to him! And yet you go against my back and do it anyways. How dare you!" He raised his arm and hit me and it stung so bad but I know not to cry. Then he grabbed my arm yanking me up and threw me towards the window. "Now you get to let him watch the show and you will both now know not to go behind my back you understand me?!" 

I nodded and looked out the window and saw him terrified look was all over his face and I knew what was about to happen. Then it started the pain, I couldn't look out the window and longer. I was praying for it to be over and this time I couldn't help to cry, it took everything out of me and  I knew I lost my life, my chance to start over. And that only made me cry harder. I felt like I had lost my one true family, Jerid. So I try to look out the window and I don't see him, that makes everything feel worse. 

I started to black out, because I felt like giving up.  Then right before I completely blacked out, I heard the door open.

"Get off of her!!" Said a familiar voice, but I couldn't remember who it was. 

"Shut up boy! You know nothing, you hear me?" Speaks a raspy voice that I knew was Edwards.

"She is just a little girl and you know nothing about her, all you do is take your anger and frustration on her without even realizing it.  And you drink so much that it makes it even worse on you and Kendra." After that I smiled as best I could and passed out without knowing what went on next. 

"You listen to me boy, and you listen carefully. I can do whatever the hell I want because Kendra is mine and you can't do anything about it because it is your word against mine, got it? So just go back to your house and this never happened." 

Jerid started to walk back towards the door but suddenly stopped and turned around looking right at Kendra and then glaring at Edward. Then all of the sudden Jerid lunged towards Edward throwing a punch that distracted him and ran over to Kendra lying there. 

"I promise you, I will get you out of here if it is the last thing I do. I swear on my life my love." After that he planted a kiss on her cheek and took off out the door. 

"You get back here. I'll freaking kill you boy, you hear me??" Screamed Edward.

And he left me there laying on the bed until the next morning.
