As El walks through the door of her mother's house, she feels a sharp pain in the side of her face. Her ear begins to ring. She looks up at her step-father, drunk as hell.

"You little shit. It's past your curfew.", Brenner says, though it's only 4 o'clock. "It's only 4 o'clock. My curfew isn't until 11.", El says.

He slaps her. "Don't you talk back to me!", he yells. She falls to the ground. A tear rolls down the brunette's cheek. "Get to your room. GET TO YOUR FUCKING ROOM!!!", He yells as he kicks her repeatedly.

She gets up and runs to her bedroom with tears in her eyes. "You don't get dinner!!!", He yells to her.

Her mother comes home. He slaps her a bit. She goes to El's room. "Hey.", Terry says. "Hi,", The teenager says.
"Sweetie, I'm sorry about Martin. He had a bad day at work and he started drinking and he had to let his anger out.", Terry says to her daughter.

"I know mom. You use that excuse all the time.", El says. "I'm so sorry.", She says. "It was because of my curfew this time.", Jane says.

"Even though he says you don't get dinner I'll bring some in for you when he's not looking. Okay?", She says giving her daughter a hug. "Okay.", She says.

Her mother kept her promise. She brought her food that night. Her mother had to pay the price and in the morning she will too. Thankfully, she's going to her dads the next day.

Her alarm woke her up at 7 am. She took a shower and brushed her teeth. She got dressed and headed out for breakfast. Her stepdad was cooking breakfast. "I thought I told you that you weren't allowed to have dinner last night?", He says.

"I know but mom-,", She is interrupted by him yelling, "I SAID NO DINNER!", and punching her in the eye. She looked at him with fear in her eyes before she grabbed her keys and booked it outside.
