Because of Her

A New Beginning

Melissa's P.O.V.

Finally rolling out of bed, I put on an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of worn jeans. Sliding on my old tennis shoes, I walked to my bathroom where I combed my hair and brushed my teeth.

Hungry, I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom making hash browns.

An important fact about me is that I absolutely LOVE potatoes. I eat potatoes every single meal, I will never get sick of them. Except, my mom experiments with foods too much and most of the time, the potatoes are dry. But, I still love potatoes.

"Hey sweety," She said smiling. But her smile faltered when she saw what U was wearing. "I just bought you a whole bunch of new clothes."

I just rolled my eyes grabbing a plate of hash browns. I do like clothes and dressing up, but my mom never seems to remember my size and either gets me something two sizes too big or two sizes too small.

"Matt is giving you a ride to school, I'm going to go for a job interview."

I nodded in response.

After I finished my plate of food, telling my mom to grab Matt. I try to not associate myself with him after what he had done to me in the past.

"Okay girlie, lets go," He said swinging his keys around his finger. It's been forever since he last abused me, but it's also been forever since we were last alone. I walked over to the car and got in.

When my mom would take early mornings to go biking, I would wake up to feel a pain inside of my lower region looking down to see him 'inside' of me.

It was terrifying. He had once gotten me pregnant, but had beat me until it died.

Life was horrible then.

When I was kidnapped as a child, my dad got so stressed that he killed himself 43 hours before I was found. My mom was left with nobody until she found Matt. He had told me things about my dad, he had condemned me for looking like him, and he had told me that like my dad, I was going to hell.

Life had become too hard for me with being abused and sexually assaulted. When I couldn't handle it anymore.... I'm sure you can guess what happened.

Here I am, stuck in deep though not realizing that we had already pulled up up by the school. It was deserted outside, meaning I was late.

"Thanks," I said quickly as I tried to slide out the door but he had grabbed my hand pulling me back into the car.

Grabbed my body and pulled me closer attaching his lips to mine. Not wanting him to hurt me, I responded.

I felt terrible, wanting to puke. He then licked my lips asking for entrance which I quickly granted, not wanting to disappoint him.

After quite enough time, I pulled away.

"I need to go, can't be late on my first day of school, even if it's just link day," I told him.

"Go then, I'll be waiting for you at home," He whispered in my ear trying to seduce me.

Gross! I wanted to puke! I really thought he had changed! Guess not.

Entering the school, I ran to the bathroom to wash my mouth out with soap and water... Gross, I know but if you were ever kissed my such a disgusting man, you would understand.

Being fast, I rushed to room C02. As I entered the room, I saw my group was small. A girl with medium length, blonde curly hair sat quietly in the back of the room. An Asian girl sitting in the front of the room chatting with a really hot guy.
