It was happening again. Again the petrified 8 year old was standing in the lounge room peeking from the wall at the scene no 8 year old should see. This time it was happening in the dining room.
And it was worst than ever...
She whole body shook and her face was covered in tears. She felt so much pain just watching, she could never imagine what pain her mum was in. She didn't want to look at it. She didn't want to see what she shouldn't. She wanted to just stay standing behind the wall and listen like she always did. But this time something made her peek and watch. No matter how much she wanted to help or just look away she couldn't. She observed the blood all over the walls, the blood on the floor, the blood on the table but mostly......the blood covering her mum. She was loosing a lot.
And her dad didn't stop beating her....
She hated it every time he hurt the only person who ever showed her love. She wanted to disappear from the world. She wanted to run away from this house full of hatred and violence. She wanted to help her wounded mother but she was forbidden to. Even her mum told her not to interfere. And she was a good girl who did as she was told. So she simply hoped. Hoped that things would get better. Hoped that her father would stop abusing her mother one day.
But it didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon.
She gasped in horror as her mum received another harsh blow making her hit the wall from the impact. "Do you think I wouldn't catch you? You cheating slut!!" Her dad yelled in his booming voice making her flinch. "D-Dad...why would you c-call mum that?" She sobbed hearing what he said. She knew what all those 'adult' words meant since she heard them so many times. "Mum never did anything like that..." She cried but of course they couldn't hear her little voice. Still she cried as many tears as she could. "Mum never did such a thing....She only l-loves you dad....Why c-can't you see that?" Her small voice cracked as she sobbed watching how badly her father hit her mum. Her mum was a warm hearted person who was kind to everyone. She loved her dad and mostly loved her more than anyone....But her dad didn't seem to love her anymore. He just took advantage of her kindness which was passed down to her too. Nor did he love him daughter as he always wanted a son. The little girl watched her helpless mother cry in pain, continuously getting beaten. Her mum received yet another harsh hit and she gasped as her mum hit her head against the sharp table and finally collapsed. "Mum!!!" She finally yelled out loud. Her mum had fainted many times from the cruel treatment her dad gave her but this time.....the little girl knew something was wrong. Something was different.
Finally she ran into the scene. She ran up to her mum who was lying unconsciously on the floor with blood flowing from her head and her clothes soaked red. "MUM!!" She yelled again on the top of her voice. She knew it. She knew this was going to happen. But she hoped it couldn't.
Her mum was dead.
"NO!" She cried and held her beloved mothers lifeless hand, wishing she had saved her when she had the chance to. She cried more than ever as the only person who she loved was now gone and couldn't be there for her anymore.
She felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She knew who it was but this time she was afraid of his touch. She turned her head to face her father. She expected him to look horrified at what he had done.........But there was no regret or mercy on his face. Her father was a monster she decided.
"Minhee" He said as softly as he could. She tried to stop her tears but they kept coming. Her dad put his finger in front of his lips just like he always did when he hurt her mum. "Shh, you know not to speak of this to anyone right? Never repeat any of this to anyone. Be a good girl and stay quiet."

With her cheeks wet with tears she reluctantly nodded. Again being manipulated and forced to stay quiet.

She was good girl after all.

"Why are you so mean to everyone Minhee?" A random classmate asks with tears in her eyes as she rest against the wall crying over something with her friends in which I butted into. "Well I'm not a sulky little bitch who chases after a guy when I know you'll always just end up getting hurt" I say back rudely as she was sulking over being rejected by someone and her friends were comforting her while Jungkook for some reason was just standing behind me. "What do you have against someone liking someone else Minhee?" She says irritated at me.
