{in this part, you will be in Xowie's perspective}

I get home from school, dreading to do my homework. I try sneak upstairs, hoping my mum wouldn't notice me. Unluckily for me, she saw my bright, orange hair.
Xowie's Mum- Hello darling, care to join me to watch some films?
She speaks in a menacing tone, I didn't like it one bit.
Xowie- No I'll have to pass, I've got homework to do sorry.
Xowie's Mum- So you're saying no to me?
Xowie- Yes, I am.
She comes towards me, I try to back away but then I hit a stone, cold wall. I start to panic.

{flashback to a week ago}

It was late in the evening, and I was feeling hungry, so I went downstairs.
Xowie's Mum- Hey, what are you down here for?
Xowie- Oh nothing really, just getting a snack.
I open the fridge and then I feel an icy hand grab my wrist.
Xowie's Mum- Oh no you don't.
I shut the fridge door and turn to her.
Xowie- But why, I haven't eaten since dinner, and that was half past one and now it's seven o'clock.
Xowie's Mum- BECAUSE YOUR FAT OK! I DON'T WANT A FAT BLOB FOR A DAUGHTER, I WANT A SKINNY ONE!
I start to feel tears well up in my eyes.
Xowie's Mum- AND TO ADD TO YOU BEING A FAT , YOU'RE ALSO A WIMP! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
                                               ~
She grabs me, and leads me to the basement. I start to get concerned for myself. She shoves me onto the cold, hard stone floor, then turns on the light and locks the door.
Xowie's Mum- YOU'RE SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME, I HATE YOU!
And then she hits me, hard. I yelp in response then she repeats hitting me. She finally stops. I find myself covered in blood.
Xowie's Mum- You dare tell anyone about this, you retched girl.
She turns off the light and unlocks the door.
Xowie's Mum- Now you can do your homework.
And one last thing, clean yourself up because your filthy, besides your dad can't see all the blood, then he'll know somethings up.
                                               ~
I go upstairs, wash the blood off of my skin, then enter my room and do my homework. I sob my pain away whilst I complete it.

{back to real time}

I find myself in the same situation, being thrown onto the floor of our basement, the lights being switched on and the door being locked. She starts to hit me again and I start to yelp again. I cry. I can't hold it in anymore.
Xowie's Mum- GET A DAMN GRIP.
                                              ~
Suddenly, I hear the front door open, dad was home early. I thought to myself, 'If I shout loud enough, he might hear me, then he'll grab the spare key to unlock the door and catch my mum abusing me.'
Xowie- DAD, DAD HELP ME PLEASE. MUM'S HITTING ME, PLEASE GET THE SPARE KEY AND UNLOCK THE DOOR, I'M IN THE BASEMENT, HURRY PLEASE.
                                             ~
As I had hoped, he heard me shout, grabbed the keys and unlocked the door. My mum gives me a look, indicating that she wanted to kill me. I shot her the exact same one. My dad looked at my abusive mother, then to me.
Xowie's Dad- How could you do this to our amazing, beautiful daughter.
My mum laughs.
Xowie's Mum- Amazing? Beautiful? NO! Have you seen this retched specimen of a human? She's ugly and worthless. How do you see any good in her? I see my dad move towards me, seeing more blood then he did a few moments ago. His face showed a shocked and stunned expression.
Xowie's Dad- Lets get out of here sweetheart.
                                              ~
He pushes my mum off of me, and my dad and I head up the stairs.
Xowie's Dad- Come on honey, we need to move to my house, and quick.
We pack my bags and wash the blood off of my pale skin. Then we leave the house, without saying bye to mum, which angered her.

{711 words} I wanted this to take a turn, so I made this happen. I really hope you enjoyed this part, since it was a bit different.
