Life at its Worse

Chapter 5

Emma's POV

It's Tuesday and I snuck out to go on my date. I told Adam to meet me at the park where we first met. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a white tie along with a white rose for me. I was dressed in a long blue dress with sparkles and ruffles. He told me I look beautiful, I was blushing. We went out to eat at Olive Garden. It was amazing! But then my Dad showed up. I saw him and I ran as fast as I could. I hid in the bathroom. Adam came looking after me. I quickly grabbed him and pulled him into the girls stall. He ask me what is wrong.

"I can't go out there." I replied.

"Why?" He asked.

"My Dad is out there." I said.

"Let's go say hi." he sounded all excited.

"You don't get it." I tried so hard to not tell him about my Dad.

"Just say it, you can trust me." He was now begging

"I just met you." I replied

"PLEASE!" He was on his knees

"You know what, I have to go." I stormed out of the place so fast hoping Dad wouldn't see me. I turn around and see him chasing me, not Dad but Adam. I ran even faster. I look back again and Adam isn't chasing me but Dads truck is. I give up and stop, Dad picks me up and slaps me. We make it home and I cut again on the same wrist and it was really bleeding, my head was starting to spin and everything went black.

I woke up on the floor, same spot as I was before. I didn't know what happened so I got up and called Deana on the house phone (Since Dad has mine) we talk about what happened and she came over. It was 1:00 in the morning and I remember getting home at 10:00 I must of been unconscious for awhile and Dad didn't even notice. She told me this had to stop and she was going to call the cops.

"NO!" I didn't want her to call because Dad would find out.

"I have to, its better then you being beat all the time and cutting." Deana was determined so I let her call the cops. She did all the talking and I sat there biting my nails (it's a habit a have when I'm nervous) The cops where there in 10 minutes. Dad hears the siren and runs up the stairs and he has a knife.

"DEANA GET OUT OR I WILL KILL YOU!" He said while pointing a knife at her. She gave me a quick hug and whispered in my ear,

"Things get better." Then she ran

Dad walked me down stairs with a knife at my neck. He was at the back of me and in one hand there is a knife ready to cut my neck and in the other hand he is holding my hair so my head is bent back. The cops broke the door down and every single one of them had guns.

"PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN OR SHE GETS IT!" Dad demanded

Every cop put there guns down. They told Dad to let me free but he denied. I actually manage to get loose! I went over to the cops. Dad ran after me and they grabbed him, he wrestled every single one of them to get to me, he even killed one cop. I ran over next door (Deana's house) and told her what was happening. We heared a gun shot and I run back over to see what happened Dad wasn't dead but he killed 3 more cops with a gun. They eventually got him and he was in prison for 45 years. I knew Mom was right "It always gets better." I miss her so much.
