As I land on the soft grass of the backyard, I catch a glimpse of myself in the glass door. 

From head to toe, there isn't a single spot without blood on it. I sigh as I walk towards it and open it quietly. I walk to the doorway of the kitchen and poke my head out, making sure Cali and my dad aren't around. 

I sigh out of relief and start towards the stairs. "Who is that?" I hear Cali call from downstairs. I run up the rest of the stairs and to my room. I try to lock it but I look down to see my lock gone. "What?" I whisper to myself.

I decide to put it aside and deal with it later. I take my shirt and pants off and throw them in the trashbin. I grab a different towel out of my closet and some pajamas and hurry out my door. I shut the bathroom door and lock it. I take off my dirty boxers and jump in the shower.

**As I step out of the shower, I put my pajamas on and throw my towel over my shoulder. I'm exhausted. I walk back to my room, stretching.

As I grab my door handle, I notice a lock has been placed on the outside of it. What? I stand there confused before it hits me. It's going to be like then, huh? When my dad used to lock me in my room for hours on end. I sigh as I walk into my room. I take my shirt off as I flop down on my bed. I throw the shirt at the light switch and hit it perfectly, making the lights turn off.

I pull my covers over my head as I start to drift off. Suddenly, I hear a knock on my door. I sit up, aggravated. "What?" I say in an irritated manner. "Can I come in?" I hear Cali say on the other side. I throw the covers off of me and walk to the door.

I open it to see Cali's large brown eyes staring innocently at me. "What do you want?" I say tiredly. "I want to apologize to you. Can I come in?" She says. I sigh. "Fine," I say. This feels like old times. I step to the side as she walks in and sits on my bed. I shut the door, and as soon as I do so, she starts screaming.

"Dad! Dad! Help!" She screams at the top of her lungs as I rush over to her, trying to calm her, knowing that he's going to be angry. "Cali, Cali, please, be quiet," I say softly to her as tears well in her eyes. I hear angry footsteps approaching my door rapidly, and I instinctively cover her mouth.

My dad slams my door open, and his jaw drops as he sees me covering his nine-year-old daughter's mouth without a shirt on, and she's about to cry.

"What're you doing to my daughter?" He screams as he rushes over and grabs me by the throat, slamming me against the wall. His face grows more and more red by the second. "What'd he do to you?" He yells at Cali. "H-He-" Is all she gets out before his fist meets my face. I try to kick free but he's too strong, and I refuse to reveal my powers. I work out, and I'm still not stronger than him.

"He also skipped school today, the school called and said he wasn't there, and that they saw him kissing someone!" She says. I glance at her and she's grinning maliciously at me. He draws his hand back and slams me against the wall again. "I bet it was that boy, huh? That red-headed boy? Are you a homo? Are you a homo Kei?" He screams in my face, punching me in my gut on the last two sentences.

My lungs burn for oxygen and my body begs me to make it stop, but I can't do anything. "You're a homo, huh? You wanna know what we did to homos back in my day?" He says, getting his face close to mine. He starts to lift me up against the wall, his grip tightening. I try to kick my legs but it's no good.

"We beat the s*** out of them!" He laughs in my face. He punches me in the gut three times before he goes for the face, not letting up. I start to taste the metallic taste of blood as he stops. "You wanna go kiss a boy so bad? Go kiss em! Go **** a dog! It's the same thing!" He says, dropping me.
