Alone (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 4 - I'm Sorry

Penelope POV

The school bell rang indicating the end of ninth period which only means one thing. School is finally over.

I grabbed my belongings not trying to waste a single second escaping this hell hole. This day has been a total nightmare and I'm just relief that I finally have a chance to wake up from it.

..... Well at least tell I get home. To some people when you think of home you think of a comfortable relaxing accepting safe place full of people that love and support you no matter what you've done in your life.

You shouldn't feel worthless and empty inside. You should be able to go inside and at least get a hi or how was your day today at school.

But instead of hey's I receive fuck you's

instead of warm meals I get Ramen and if I'm lucky some Moldy Bread.

Instead of hugs and kisses I'm constantly rewarded with Scars and Bruises.

I spent most of my nights over Vanessa house or rains hide out Which I was beyond grateful for. It gives me time to escape from my father and Im actually given a chance to feel loved around them. They're more than just my best friends There my sister and I would die for them by any means.

They've always been there for me. Rather I was depressed, suicide, lonely, or hungry they've taken care of me and for that I will love them and cherish them no matter what.

Today I was supposed to meet up with Taylor after school at her place so we could get a kick off on this project.

To tell you that I wasn't nervous would be a complete lie. I was beyond nervous, I was out of this world anxious. Wait.... What am I doing? Why am i so nervous about? She doesn't care about you, she barely know your name. I just need to act normal and focus on the important task on hand.

I collapse on the bus seat placing my bag right next to me sending a message to anyone that comes by my way that this spot is occupied. I stared outside the window looking at a little girl running up to a bigger guy name Franklin. He's the vice president of the debate team and was rewarded as most likely to succeed.

That must be his sister..... She's so cute and precious. She must have been excited to see her brother just by the way she was laughing and running around him in circles.

Kinda remind me of me and Jayden when we were younger. He would take me out for ice cream whenever mom and dad argued and we would stay there for hours. Just laughing and having fun.

But I shouldn't deweld on the past. I mean if we looked on the positive side yeah I lost a brother But I've also gained sisters.

I just hope they wouldn't leave me by myself alone in the dark like my brother. I wouldn't be able to survive let alone breath if I lost the last of my love ones.

The bus stop briefly at my Destination making me all around prepared for the worse to come when I enter this house. just stepping onto the porch sent chills down my spine.

My quivering hand made it extremely difficult for me to hold my keys in place so I could fit it into the slot. While turning it slightly hearing the click noise that would usually be Audible when it's unlock I sent a mini prayer to myself praying for the best today.

Praying that I wouldn't cross paths with my father today. That I could just Dash as fast as I could to my room locking the door behind me.

Huhhhhh well here goes nothing, it now or never and trust me facing this beast was the last thing I want to do.

On the count of three! 1...... 2...... 2 and a half........ 3!!!! I swing the door open only to witness a quite empty house. I must have been holding my breath in because i released a huge breath of relief.
