Forever & Always

Chapter 1

I guess I should introduce my self. My name is Sarah. I'm kinda tall, 5'5", I have brown eyes, and brown hair. I guess I look like my brother...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Shawn was the best brother I could have. I can trust shawn with anything. He knows everything about me and I know everything about him. I new I could tell him anything, he would listen. There were only two things I couldn't tell him. It was about our dad... Since our parents got a divorce and moved apart from each other our dad has been drinking. When he drinks... He gets drunk. And when he's drunk, he gets abusive. He only drinks when shawn is on tour. Dad knows shawn will get mad and kick him out if he gets caught...

About an hour after I got home from school and finished my homework I waited for my drunk dad to get home. He usually got home, made something to eat, and then got mad at me for not 'cleaning' up the mess. Usually he would hit me or something like that... "Get in here slut." Dad yelled from downstairs. "GET. IN. HERE!" He yelled again, this time louder and more angry. "Did you make this mess? You heard me! AWNSER" he spat in my face as he smashed a bottle over the counter.
"N-no dad. I was out today..." I stuttered trying not to have him hit me... "Get the belt. NOW!" He spat out at me as I stumbled to get the belt from the room. As I re entered the kitchen I handed him the belt and pulled off my t-shirt revealing scars from the previous lashes. "Now... Where were we." He asked as he let out 5 hits across my back, i felt the sting and the pain as he spun me around and slapped your face repeatedly. He punched me once before I hit the ground and did not move...

After I cleaned the glass and the kitchen i ran upstairs to mine and Shawn's room to have a quick shower. I ran the hot water and felt the sting on my back as it ran over my cuts. I carefully bandaged my back and threw on a sweater. I dried my hair and straightened it as I heard the door open. "Sarah?" I heard shawn call through the house as i ran down the stairs and gave him the biggest hug. "I missed you so much..." I said tucking my head into his neck letting a few tears escape my eyes. Shawn set me down and drove me to school. "Have a good day, I love you" shawn said as he handed me my backpack. "I love you too big brother" i said shutting the door to his car and heading into school. As I walked to my locker and as I went to place my books inside, someone slammed my locker shut. "Welcome back." I muttered thinking he couldn't hear me. "What was that bitch?" He asked me with a sarcastic tone in his voice. "I asked you a question. Now awnser it." He said once again this time pinning me against my locker.

"I. Said. AWNSER ME BITCH" he said in a strong voice as he punched my stomach causing me collapse onto the ground. "Should have told me what you said." He said as he walked away. I was sitting there for a matter of minutes before I saw a pair of familiar shoes. Shawn. "Hi I'm looking for Sarah Men- SARAH! What happened to you..." Shawn said pulling me up off the ground and into a hug. I hugged him for a matter of minutes before whispering something in his ear. "We need to talk..."
