Andy POV
Being at home was a nightmare, for everyone. It was were I dreaded to be. I never wanted to be there, ever but it was my house and I kinda had to live there
In the morning, I wake up, I hear the violence that happens in my house. I hear the shouting, the screaming, all the bad and hideous things that happen on a daily basis. Me going to school is my way of escaping from the terrible shit that happens at home
Mikey knows about what happens and so does his mum because he is my best mate and knows when something is up with me or when I'm not being myself. Honestly, I knew he was gonna find out in the end but I didn't want to tell him. I am ashamed that this is my family, that this is how we all treat each other. It's not right, like at all but I've kind of come to terms now, that it isn't going to stop any time soon
My mum gets abused by my dad. And not just a few odd times...everyday. It happens everyday. I wake up I hear her screams of agony, I leave the house to her screams of agony, I fall to sleep to her screams and moans of the pain she is going through. This has been happening for 5 years now and it's getting to the point where I feel like I can't even walk into the house anymore or even look my dad in the eye without wanting to rip him to pieces because of all of the shit he has done to my mum and all the pain he has put our family through the past 5 years
I only told Mikey, last month, because I am so, so ashamed that I have to deal with this, no, that my mum has to deal with this bullshit, that I have to be an eye witness to all the bad things that happen in my house on a daily basis. But surprisingly, Mikey and his mum have been so supportive of me and have been there for me so much even though they think it has only started recently and they only think it's a small problem that will be solved but they don't know how bad it is. They don't know that it has started to happen to me
I get home from school and I see my dad charging towards me, ready to throw a punch at me, ready to beat me to the ground. And when he is finished, he doesn't care, he just walks off and goes and does what he wants. He doesn't care about anyone apart from himself. He doesn't care that he is hurting me and my mother to the point where we could have broken bones or even brain injures. He doesn't give a shit! And I'm so sick and tired off his attitude towards us! I wish he would just leave the house!
But he won't do that because we are all he has. We are his only family...he was an only child so he had no siblings, both his parents and grandparents have died and his only uncle wants nothing to do with him, so without us he is nothing. And that's the only reason he won't leave. Because if he leaves, he is nothing, he has nothing so he won't ever leave
He deserves to leave! He doesn't deserve to live in the same house as us! We treat him so well even after the shit he does and he still continues to do it. He is such a dick and needs to go die because I'm honestly so sick and tired of how my life is turning out because he is trying to ruin our lives
And you're probably wondering, why haven't you called the police? Because honestly, trust me, we've called them several times but every time they come, they never believe us, they believe my dad, because he is the 'man' of the house and he is big and scary and they will never disagree with him because that are always scared of him and I'm tired of seeing them believe him and not me and my mum
I'm honestly to the point, where I am contemplating on leaving and going to live with Mikey. They said I'm welcome there anytime, so I'm sure they will be fine with me living there. His mum has known me since I was 7 so I'm sure it will be okay. I will just bring everything I own with me. But I will feel bad for leaving my mum alone with him. She doesn't deserve what she gets off him but right now, I need to think about myself, about my future
I'm going to sleep on it and I'll talk to Mikey about it tomorrow at school, even thought it will probably be fine with him. I know it's the right thing for me to do but I'm still on edge. What should I do..?
