"Dad stop!" I yelled as I dodged my dad's punch.
"Get out of my house you fucking little bitch!"
I rushed past him and ran outside without any shoes or a coat on. It felt only about 30 degrees. I kept running, listening to my feet hit the pavement until I got to the nearest gas station. I went into the bathroom, washed my smeared makeup off and sat on the ground to clear my head for a while. I had to process what just happened. When it hit me, I started crying and realized that my dad was drunk again. I reached in my back pocket, took out my phone, and pulled the case off to grab the razor blade hiding behind my phone. I pulled up my sleeve and dragged the razor against my skin a few times. I put the razor and phone back in my pocket, and washed up. When I walked out of the bathroom, I looked around the store and decided to get a blue monster. I only found a 20 in my pocket, so I payed with that.
I went back outside, walked a few blocks, and sat on the curb. I untied my earbuds from the belt loop on my pants, stuck them in my ears, and turned my music up as loud as it could go. I sat there looking like a lonely little emo girl, drinking a monster and listening to screamo. But that's only what people see from the outside.
