Growing Better or Worse

Chapter 7

        I woke up in complete blackness. There is a weird ringing sound in my left ear. I saw the clock, it was 12:32. I feel the panging in my stomach, god I am hungry I haven't ate since 12 at school. Why was I laying on the floor? What had happened? I bet my dad hit me and I was unconscious. I have never been unconscious for over an hour. Well, that's weird. I suddenly feel a Luke-warm liquid. Ew! It is all over my hair, my body, everywhere. What is it? I slowly sit up, hoping not to pass out again. I stand cautiously and fumble around for the light switch. A screech slips out of my mouth. 

        I see her, my mother laying there. I look down at my body. It is covered in my mother's blood. There is a sharp, slanted object in her chest. I come closer, it is part of a bottle. "HOW DARE MY FATHER KILL HER?!?" I couldn't think. I start to scream, sobbing. Even though she wasn't the nicest, she kept my father from beating me many times. What would happen to me if she wasn't there? I am terrified of what the next week will be like. Should I call the police? I run over to T-Bone's house, not even thinking of the fact that he basically just dumped me yesterday. He will know what do to. I hope.

        As I come up to his house, I climb through his window. "What happened" T-Bone asks. I told him about my night, he sat their with his jaw open. "I would give you a hug but yer covered with blood, why don't you take a shower? I'll think of something to do while you are in the shower." T-bone said.

        He guided me to the bathroom and he showed me how to use the shower. I removed my clothes and went in the shower. The warm water felt extremely good! It took me over 20 minutes to get all the blood and dirt off of my body. I step out and dry off myself. As I was brushing my hair a man walked in. He was tall, with a slight build and curly blond hair. He had a long face and had the eyes of T-Bone.

        This must be his father oh no! "WHO WHAT, TOBONIE COME IN HERE NOWW! WHO ARE YOU?" The only words I could utter were "I----I-" I started to rapidly shake, I couldn't control my own body! There are spots in my vision. The last thing I hear is T-Bone yelling my name then blackness engulfs me, counter comes up to meet my face very quickly.
