Half A Heart

Oh no

Coral POV

I woke up with an headache the next morning.

Suddenly I remembered last night and the fear came back.

I jumped out of my bed quickly, running downstairs.

I hit someone chest,I look up to see my dad.

Daddy,I ran to hug him but he pushed me off before I could even get close to him.

I looked at my dad shocked.

Dad,I called him but he was looking at me with disgust.

What did I do wrong,what was wrong with my dad.

I thought maybe he was disgusted because I was still in my pajamas and I haven't bathed.

I'm going to bath soon dad,I laughed nervously but when I looked at him he wasn't laughing.

Before I could process what was happening, he slapped me hard across the face.

I looked at him shocked.

My dad slapped me,I touched my face like I couldn't believe that my dad just slapped me.

I know he his drunk but he has never hit me,not once.

But now,I couldn't believe what's happening.

Are you going to stand there or go make me breakfast,he growled at me.

I quickly ran into the kitchen to make him breakfast.

I opened the cupboard and to my disappointment there was nothing in the house.

Dad,there's nothing in the house,I said nervously.

What do you mean,he snapped at me.

There's.... There's nothing... In the house,I stammered.

Stupid girl,he slapped me across the face.

It hurt so bad to know my father was hitting me.

He pulled my hair,I lost my balance and fell on the ground with my face.

Stand up,he shouted.

I quickly stood up with tears running down my cheeks.

Go and prepare for school,he said slapping me once more before leaving the kitchen.

I sat down on the floor crying,what happened to my dad over the night.

I cried more when I remembered how he took me to bed last night,how did he change from that caring father to this abusive father.

I got up quickly when I noticed that I was running late for school.

I prepared quickly for school,I was almost out of the house when my dad came out of his room.

I was shaking in fear now,I don't know if he was going to hit me again.

Luckily for me,he didn't even notice my presence.

I quickly open the door and ran out.

It's my second day in school and I'm already running late.

I ran faster and soon I was already at school.

I was sweating badly and people were looking at me like I was crazy.

I went to my locker to take out my books.

Coral,someone called my name.

I turned back to see Eloisa standing behind me looking like a model in her high waisted trouser and crop top.
