Chapter 7:
We sat there, still in the park. I was laying my head on Vincent's shoulder as a few hiccups would a casually come out. I curse myself for getting hiccups when I cry. I hate it. Vincent would rub his hands on my back slowly going up and down. It amazed me how he was still here. It was getting dark outside and he hasn't left my side once. Ring, ring! I picked my head off his shoulder and looked at Vincent. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and answered it.
"Hello?" I couldn't here what the other person was saying, but they sounded upset, and not like crying upset like pissed off.
"Yes, I know what time it is! I was just busy!" The person started yelling more. I couldn't exactly hear but it sounded like a girl.
"OK, BI! CHILL OUT! I'm at the park with Scarlett.." I recognized the girl's name even though it wasn't her whole name. It was Bianca, Vincent's sister. Bianca stopped yelling and she was talking low. I guess in her normal voice. I couldn't hear her no more.
"Ok... I'm sorry... We lost track of time.. I didn't exactly worry about the time or anything.... Yeah.... ok, I'll be home in a few. Bye." With that, Vincent hung up.
"I'm sorry" I said while looking down at my hands.
"For what?" I could just hear the confusion in Vincent's voice.
"For making you get in trouble with your sister.. for wasting your time.. for everything." I looked up at Vincent as he let out a sigh and hugged my body to him.
"Don't be. None of this is your fault." He said while resting his chin on the top of my head. We sat there in silence for a few more seconds until we decided that it was best if we went home.
********
Vincent and I were now standing in front of my door.
"Scarlett, if, when your mom beats or touches you in any way I want you to call me. Don't worry about what will happen to her or you. You will be okay." I nodded my head as he wrapped his arms around me as I buried my head in his neck. I felt him kiss the top of my head as he whispered a quick good-bye and walked away. I stood there for a moment trying to process what just happened from the time I left my house until now. I slowly turned away and opened the door. I walked in my house to see my mom sitting on the couch with a book in her hands. I walked towards the stairs and stepped on the first step right when my mom said something to me.
"So Daniella called a little while ago.. she said you were at the park with Vinny." I walked off the stairs and looked at her nodded.
"What were you doing with Vinny?" She looked up at me from her book.
"Nothing." She slammed her book on the ground and stood up.
"DON'T LIE TO ME GOD DAMMIT!" She took a deep breathe trying to control her anger. "Now, I'm going to ask you once and one time only. What were you doing at the park with Vincent?" I stood and held my ground. I wasn't going to let her hurt me again. This was enough!
"Nothing!" I seen the anger rise in her as she started stomping towards me. Usually I would run, but now I wasn't. It's time to stand up for myself. She grabbed me my neck and rammed me into the wall.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING LIE TO ME!" She tightened her grip around my neck as I pushed her off of me and she flew to the ground. She was shock just as much as me. I never knew I had that much strength in me.
"Don't EVER put your hands on me again! Got it! I'm sick and tired of you ABUSING ME! I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU! YOU ARE A FUCKING BIPOLAR BITCH! YOU GO AROUND BLAMING PEOPLE FOR YOUR FUCKING MISTAKES! IT'S NOT OUR FAULT YOU CAN'T KEEP IT IN YOUR GOD DAMN PANTS! I HATE YOU! YOU DON-" I stopped. Everything seemed to freeze. I was turning into her. I was doing everything she's done. My mom sat there on the ground shocked. I could only imagine the things going on in her head right now. I turned away and walked away. I walked out of the house leaving my mom sitting there shocked. I walked onto the road right as a police car stopped in front of me. Two police officers then got out.
"Ma'am, is this your house?" I stood there not saying anything.
"Ma'am," The other police officer said as he shun a flashlight in my face, "Do you live here?"
