My Story

Chapter Eleven

We ate snacks and talked a little bit.
"So what is one thing you hate about Ezra?"
"Him taking every thing away from me." He said in a sad tone.
"Exactly how again."
"He-well.. uh well let's say me and you were the best of friends, right. He'll soon take you away trying."
"So if he took me away from you that would upset you big time huh?"
"Yes, exactly, pre-fucking-cisely." He said making me laugh. "Shh stop it."
"I'm sorry it was a little fun." I said still laughing.
"I have a question."
"Shoot." I said grabbing a gummy worm from the center of the bed.
"So if my brother were to ever do that what would you do?"
"I don't know cause he is cute you know but then I know for a fact that I don't want to lose you as a friend."
"Aww, so sweet. You are a nice person."
I checked the time on my phone and it's been 4 hours since I've been here.
"I really got to go."
"You do?"
"Yes I really do." I said getting everything ready for me to go home.
I start walking out of his room and I run down stairs and out the door forgetting his house is farther then the school is. I walked home and creepy wanna be over here Ezra was driving by scaring me yet again. I started running home a little and I get a notification on my phone saying that my dad just got there. Oh no how horrible could my life be right now.

I walked to the back yard but I looked back to see if Ezra was anywhere. And no he wasn't which was good. Then I got a call from my dad. I sat down in a hammock  in the back yard and answered the phone.

"Where are you? You better not be hoeing like your mother."

"I'm in the back yard reading." As I'm talking I got out my health text book and opened it to a random page.

"No. You are just like her telling lies. Come home right now you fucking shit or else."

"Dad just go to the back yard if you do not believe me I'm there. You will see I'm reading."

"Just wait for your... your fucking punishment." He said and hung up.

Boy my dad is scary and I wish he wasn't like this. I heard the back door being opened. I saw my dad coming out weirdly angled. His right hand came around and I saw his belt in his hand.
"Dad please don't." I said softly.
He came faster towards me and hit my leg with it.
The stinging pain that I felt hurt like hell.
He grabbed the book out of my hand. Threw it to the floor and grabbed my wrist flinging me to the ground.
"DAD DON'T!" I yelled.
I saw his hand raise and he started whipping me with the belt. I was trying to get away and scream for help. My tears that were running down my face felt like little rivers. I kept crying and screaming.
Then finally I was helped from someone.
Someone tackled my dad and the other person came to me. I looked up to see Ezra helping me up and a cop on my dad.
This really can't be happening right now. It just can't.
But then only then does everything change....

I woke up. On the dirt ground.
