One blow after the next. Over and over. Will he ever stop? Will he ever care? As I am asking this question, he is beating every little piece of hope and joy out of me. And as I lay here, curled up in a ball, praying for life as I am losing mine, I wonder if I'm going to make it out alive this time.
As I wrote this in my journal, Set The World On Fire by Black Veil Brides was playing through my earbuds. My foster father was drunk, as usual.
When he's drunk, I try to stay away from him and his friends as much as possible. He physically abuses me.
I put away my journal and got my phone out.
As usual, on Facebook I had hate messages and death threats. I wasn't the most liked person at school. I was the one kid that had a 3 foot radius around them at any given time.
I should probably introduce myself. My name is Ariandra Dani. I don't have a last name because my parents were killed before they got to meet me.
They were murdered just after I was taken to the NICU by the doctor. He was never caught.
I guess you want to know more about me. I'm 16, I'm 6'2, I have blue-green and black hair, I have piercing green/blue eyes even though they change color with my mood, and I love Black Veil Brides.
I am in the foster system, and I have been kicked out of several houses because I didn't meet up to their standards. They always expect this perfect child that's straight 'a's and does the right thing. Well, sorry, that's not me.
I'm currently in a hellhole of a fucking house. My 'father' beats the shit outta me. I'm planning on sneaking out of the house to go to a concert with my friend.
"Hey, you little slut, I'm home. What kind of shit are you writing now?" My father asked sarcastically.
"None of your business, asshole." I shot back.
He started to rummage through my stuff and found my journal.
"No! Give it back, you bastard!!" I yelled.
I jumped up and reached for the journal. He shoved me back and turned back to the most recent page. As he read, he looked angrier and angrier.
"You little bitch. I will show you beating the life out of you." He said as he reached for me.
I ran and jumped out the open window. I always leave my window open when he's home, just in case I get into a sticky situation.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING MISTAKE!!!" He yelled, his words cutting deeper than usual. I just kept running, tears daring to spill out of my eyes.
I ran over to my friend Alyx's house and knocked on the door.
"Ariandra? What are you doing here? It's not time for the concert yet." Alyx said.
Alyx was GORGEOUS. She had teal hair, black eyes, and was really short. If I was Andy, she would be Jinx.
"I just want to get ready early." I lied. She didn't know about what happened at my house. No one did.
"Ahh, okay, come on in." She said and let me in.
I stood in the hallway as she opened her door. Her room was a lot like mine, black/red/green color scheme, lots of Black Veil Brides posters.
I sat down on her bed and took a deep breath. I was still hearing my dads words in the back of my mind. It hurt more than all the other insults he usually throws in my face. But for some reason, I couldn't figure out why. Maybe I was a mistake. Maybe I was good for nothing.
All these thoughts ran through my mind as Alyx rambled on about Jinx. He was her favorite, by far, as I could tell. She talked non stop about him.
"Hey, you ready? It's time to go!" She shouted.
"Uhh, yeah! I just need to go grab my phone from my house. Be right back!" I said happily.
"Okay!" She responded.
I ran back to my house and quietly climbed through my window. I grabbed my phone and just as I was about to slip out, I grabbed my little wallet. It holds many treasures of mine.
I returned to Alyx's house as she walked out to her car and got in. I got into the passenger side and we drove off to the concert.
