The Monsters In My Home

The truth.

After first hour I walked out of class. I saw Logan ahead of me with the girl I hated and I saw him look back at me with a sympathetic look. Really? He just said all of that to me and then looks at me like he's sorry? Screw him. I was happy that I had 2nd hour with Macy so I could tell her what happened. She would be beyond pissed with him. After I told her what happened she was stunned. "I can't believe him!" She exclaimed, "I need to talk to him!" I looked at her happy to have a good friend. "Just leave it be." I smiled at her, "I'm not gonna let it get me down. Most of second hour me and Macy just talked about summer, not paying attention to class at all. When class was finally over I dreaded having to go to any other classes. This day has already been eventful enough. I could skip school, but dad would just beat me for it. I decided I should take the chance, hoping dad and mom wouldn't find out. I told Macy I was ditching and she came with me. Her parents love her and will be pretty disappointed in her, but she was willing to take the risk rather than let me leave on my own. Right after third hour me and Macy met up and left while all the teachers were busy making sure everyone got to lunch. We headed out the side gate, not knowing where we were gonna go, just walking. We ended up at the park a few blocks away from the school when I felt my phone vibrating. Mom and dad never buy me anything but they got me a small flip phone so they could get ahold of me if they wanted to yell at me. I saw that it was dad calling. I slowly picked up the phone. "h-hello?" I said nervously into the phone. "Where are you and why aren't you at school!" He screamed into the phone hurting my ears. "I-I'm with Macy." I said hesitantly. "That bitch!" He yelled, "She's a bad influence!" I stated crying. "It wasn't her idea." I cried. "Get home NOW!" He yelled hanging up. Oh god I can't go back, he is gonna beat me and I know it. "I-I'm sorry Macy." I looked at her with tears in my eyes. "Yea...just go home." She smiled at me. She doesn't know how much is rather not go home. As I start walking home my heart pounds in my chest. I'm scared, maybe even for my life. Dad has almost beat me to death before. Right as I'm nearing my house I can barely breath. I walk inside and see dad sitting on the couch, drinking a beer and holding a belt. "Get over here!" He yelled. I walked towards him hesitantly feeling tears come to my eyes. "Don't cry you stupid girl!" He yelled punching me in the gas hard. My face stung and I cried harder, making him even angrier. He grabbed me sternly and threw me across the room hitting the wall and walked towards me. "I wish you were never born!" He yelled at me and hit me hard with the belt then proceeding to punch me in the face and hit me with the belt. After it was finally over I had bruises everywhere. I didn't know how I was gonna hide them tomorrow at school. Dad sent me to my room and I fell asleep, dreading going to school the next day. I texted Macy real quick saying "Hey Macy..I need to talk to you at school tomorrow, it's important." I was finally gonna tell her the truth. When I woke up I left before dad could say anything to me and walked to school, wearing the same shirt as yesterday. I saw Macy and she saw my new bruises. "Hey..." I said. "You wanted to talk to me?" She asked staring at my face. "Macy I'm just gonna get right to it." I said fast, "they beat me." I started crying while saying it. Macy grabbed me and hugged me holding me and letting me cry on her shoulder. "Oh my god Taylor we need to tell someone." She looked at me hard. "No!" I yelled looking at her sternly, "He'll just beat me more!" She looked at me sympathetically, "ok." She said to me and handed me some makeup, knowing I was gonna ask for some. After I put on the makeup me and Macy walked to class. I knew I wasn't gonna ditch today.
