Life at its Worse

Chapter 1

Emma's POV

I was getting ready for school when my Dad comes in.

" Get over here!" He demands.

I walk over trembling in fear. I reach him and he shoves me causing me to fall. He then starts beating me. I manage to get up and I scream at him.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!" I yell

He then rolls his eyes and walks off. I honestly don't know why he beats me and acts like its nothing! I really want to call the cops but he has my phone. If you are wondering why I don't tell my Mom, its because she is dead. She died of oblivion cancer when I was 12.

I make it safely to school and was greeted by my best friend Deana. Later into class my bruises from Dad start to show up and Deana asks how I got them. She doesn't know anything about my Dad, I tell her I slipped on the ice out side.

Deana's POV

Emma's face starts to swell up and I ask her again what happened, no answer. I asked again.

" What happened" I ask.

" I told you I slipped on the ice." she answered.

"How can ice do that much with just me knowing about it?" I said.

"I told other people." I could tell she lied

"Your lying." I say

She stormed off crying, I ran after her. She was in the bathroom with her makeup running down her face like rain. I instantly felt bad and gave her hug. She pushed me away.

"Get away I hate you!" she screamed

"I just asked a question, God!" I speak in a kind of mean tone

"GET OUT!" She yelled so loud it seemed like the school shook

I stormed off trying not to feel bad. When I made it back to class everyone was staring at me, I don't know if they heard us or not. I tried to act normal but I couldn't I was upset and nervous at the same time, I was nervous because everyone was staring at me and Emma might not be okay. I finally just got up and said,

"WHAT!"

That made the people that stopped staring at me do it again. I was so embarrassed but then the bell rang and I felt like it saved my life.
