Why me / Hiatus

Ch.10

(Payton's past starts now)

Payton POV

"Emily were did you go, dad's almost here." I yelled as I walked around the house.

The house was dark, the window cartons were ripped, there was glass piece and bottles all over the house. A photo of my family was on the table, it showed a happy memory of how it used to be. The photo had a woman's face crossed out, it was my mom her name was Willow. (The picture is at the top, but mothers face isn't crossed out.)

She was so kind and loving, she had short brown hair and blue eyes. She was a Secretary at a company. One time she took me and Emily there, it was big and me and Emily played hide and seek.

I stopped looking at the photo and started looking for Emily before dad was home. "Sis were are you, please come out dads almost here!" I yelled and went to our room.

"Emily are you in here?" I asked as I walked in. I looked to the left on her side of the room and saw no evidence that she was there. I looked to the right and saw that my closet was slightly opened.

"Sis are you in there?" I asked as I walked towards the door. I grab the door nob and opened the door a little bit more and saw her in the corner rapped in a blanket holding her stuffed wolf.

"Emily we have to start cooking, if we don't dad will get mad again." I said to my sister holding her hand. We got up and started to walk to the kitchen. I let go of her hand and started to get out things to cook.

"Sis here, you set the table as I cook." I said as I handed the plaits to her. "Ok, be careful Payton don't burn your hand again." Emily said as she walked to the table. 

I decided to cook something easy hotdogs and fries. I start putting the fries on a pan and placed the pan in the oven. I put some hotdogs on a skillet and watch them.

When the fries were done I used a hand mit and grabbed the pan. The hotdogs got done and I placed them on a plait and the fries on a plait and carried them to the table.

Emily already had the dishes placed and had drink in the cups. Now it was a waiting game, we had to wait for dad to get home to eat.

I hope dad isn't in a bad mood today. I don't want Emily to get hurt.

As we were waiting I heard the front door open and the sent of liquor came in to the house. I hate him when he gets drunk.

"I'm home,you brats." He said venom lasted in his voice. He came to the table and set a the opened seat and got him two hotdogs and some fries.

Me and Emily got our food and ate in silence with the sent of liquor and food in the air. When we finished we took the dishes and cleaned them.

"You girl come here!" He yelled from the living room. I look over to Emily. I don't want him to hurt her. "Sis you go and I'll follow you." I whisper to her.

We started going to the living room and she was in front of me. She went to dad and dad grabbed her and was about to throw her. I ran to her and turned my teeth to k-9s and bit my dad's arm.

He let go of Emily and he tried to put me away but I held on tight. "You damn bastard, your just like your mother!" He yelled as he stabbed me in the arm.

I screamed in pain and let go of his arm, but I didn't just stay on the ground I ran with my sister to our room and lock it. We pushed her dresser to the door and went to my closet.

In my closet there was a wooden panel that you could move only me, mom, and Emily know about this. We went up the steps after I closed the panel.

We went to the side that had medical care supplies and cleaned the stab and rapped it up to make it not get infected.

"Are you ok brother?" Emily asked. "I'm better now that you patched me up." I said hugging my sister.
