It was shortly after Tyler left for the bonfire party, mom decided that she wanted to go to bed early. I was working on some of my homework at the kitchen table since not long ago my mom and my brother were down here with me.
"Lottie" Not Dad says as he walks into the dining room and I look up at him confused, I ignore the small feeling of anxiety that I get from interacting with him. I want to fidget so badly right now.
"Yes sir?" I ask with a frown as I start chewing on my lip, did I forget to do something?
Not Dad sighs and my frown deepens when he sits down beside me almost gently, he's not drunk is he? "I've been thinking about setting you up with one of the older kids in town, it would be good for our family and we all know how your brother is."
"No" I say flatly as I try to go back to my homework when he smacks the table hard, my head snaps up, my eyes narrowed in annoyance and anger.
"It's not for you to decide girl. I am telling you." Not Dad says sternly as he glares at me, "I haven't picked which boy yet . ."
"NO" I snap as I stand up angrily, not dad does the same, "it's not the 1800s or the 1600s right now dad. If I get in a relationship with anyone it will be my choice. NOT YOUR'S"
Smack, my head snaps to side from the force of the hit, I hold on to the table to keep myself from toppling over, gritting my teeth in pain and anger.
God, I want to low key kill him, this is just getting so fucking frustrating.
"Don't talk to me like that young lady, I am your father. I am in charge. If I tell you that you will be with someone then you will be with that person." He says angrily, the sound of his voice nearly echoing in the dinning room.
I turn my head slightly while I look at him for a moment and my mouth twitches making him frown. This shouldn't be funny, it's not funny, but I start chuckling a little bit anyways. I was fucking burned to death, I am not going to waste my second life by being shackled to some asshole just because HE wants me to.
"You're not, out of everything you are, a father to me isn't one of them. I won't be with anyone that you choose for me father" I can see the anger cloud in his eyes again, I can see his hand twitching as he try's to take a long calming breath, closing his eyes as if he's counting.
For a second it almost seemed to have calmed him down but then he locked eyes with me again, his hand raised to quickly for me to try to move away, a loud SMACK echoed inside the dinning room as the strength behind his hit knocks me to the floor with a THUD. He moved so fast that I didn't see him move closer to me before he struck me.
I suck in a deep breathe as the pain hits me afterwards, my lip begins to tingle and I can feel the blood begin to drip from it, but I don't dare touch it. Not Dad always hits harder when there's a sign of weakness. Carefully I get to my feet and I see not dad breathing heavily due to his anger as he watches me with narrowed eyes, his hand is still twitching.
He wants to hit me again.
My jaw is clenched tightly in anger but I don't speak, but gods do I want to. I should fight back, but I am so soo close to being able to leave and my parents have the sheriff in their back pocket anyways. I know father well enough to know that he would find a way to put me in jail just out of spite for any retaliation I could possibly have against him. That's assuming he wouldn't dispose of me himself to avoid complications or making the family look bad.
