No Happy Endings

Why?

I rushed through the front door with my report card in hand.

" what's that?" Mother says with a big smile

" my report card and guess what guess what mommy!! " Luna says squealing with excitement

Mother " what is it darling "

Luna " it's all a's!!!"

Dad " all a's that's amazing sweet heart"

Teacher " luna! Luna!"

I jump back into reality as miss rippleson screams my name " what " I say tiredly

" You fell asleep in class again"
Miss rippleson says furiously

" Oh so nothing important, then if you don't mind I'm going back to sleep"

"Office now!"

I grab my stuff and begin my daily walk down to the principals office. As I am walking down the hall, I remember something that was said  to me yesterday. "Well too late now." I open the principal's door and walk in

" Again luna" the principal sighs "this is getting old"

"Stop acting like you care and call my dad already" I say frustrated

The principal sighs and picks up the phone and calls my father " hi is this Luna's d...yup,..ok.....I'll let her know" he looks at me with disappointment
and says "he's already here"

" Thank you and good bye" I say sarcastic

"Have a nice day"

"Have a shit day" I practically yell at him as I flip him the bird. I walk outside to my dad's truck and hop in.

"Really again" my dad says furiously

" Yes" I say

"You do remember what I told you yesterday right?"

"Yes" I say sighing

" What did I say, huh"

" That you were gonna kick my ass"

"Did you think I was lying"

" No sir" the rest of the car ride was silent. We walked through the front door and then.

" You piece of fucking shit, just die already!" He yells as he kicks me over and over again. Keeping his promise.

After my daily beating I go up to my room and carefully lay on my bed.
I barely fall asleep with all the pain.

I wake up, and look out the window to see it's dark outside. "Crap" I slept all day again. I get up out of bed and put on some shoes. I sneak down the stairs and outside. Then I walk down to the bridge."Finally I can die" I walk over to the ledge and stare down at the small little stream of water.

" Hey" a stranger says

"Ah, fuck what now" I say annoyed

"What are you doing out here so late"stranger says worried

"I could ask you the same" I say frustrated

" I asked you first" stranger says

" I'm getting ready to kill myself"

"Why"

"Because I saw your hideous face"

" That's not the way to talk to someone you just met"

"Really asshole"

"That's not my name"

" Then what is it shit brain"
