A Babysitter's Nightmare

Chapter 11

Craig P.O.V

It was 9:46 pm. My mom took Serenity and Mickel to Mrs. Felecia's house for a sleep over with her kids. She was going to be over there until tomorrow so unfortunately I was home alone with my dad. I was in my bed waiting for Andrea to come. I had to act asleep because every so often my dad would come in to see if I was talking to Andrea. Luckily, he only does it five times and that was the last.

About 10 minutes later, I got a text message from Andrea letting me know she was outside. I got up and went to the glass door to the right of my bed, slowly sliding it open and allowed Andrea to come in. She sat on my bed as I went to my closet and grabbed my laptop.

"So, what's wrong?" she asked as I laid beside her, opening and unlocking my laptop.

"Shh. Look." I put my finger to my mouth, pointing to the screen after pulling up a file of a newspaper article on my dad being accused of raping a 19 year old girl.

It was 4 years ago and she was my tutor and best friend. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday she would come over and my dad would always watch her every move. Then, the Tuesday I wasn't at home because my mom had dropped me off at football practice, Mariah had came over to drop of my homework I forgot at school. My dad invited her in and beat her until she couldn't move and threw her on the couch, tearing off her clothing and raping her. He only got off because he bribed the judge and she dropped the case. Later that week, Mariah killed herself.

"Oh, oh my god. He did that, Craig?" she asked, her hand over her mouth. I nodded.

"That's not even the worst part, this is what he does when I don't listen." I said, lifting my shirt to the deep scarring in the middle of my chest from him kicking my this morning. Andrea gasped really loudly and I had to kiss her to shut her up.

"What'd you do that for?!" she whispered loudly.

"No, you gotta shut up because he-" it was no use. My dad barged into my room smiling and licking his lips.

"Hi, Mrs. Andrea." his grin quickly turned into a sneer as he came towards us and our backs were against the walls.
