Broken

Again

“Justice Journey McCarthy. Get you slutty ass in the house now.” My hoarded mother yelled out the door.

“Yes, mother” I called quietly.

I walked into the hell hole and instantly regretted it. A punch landed on my ribs as I walked through the door.

I cried out and fell to the ground, hitting my head on the coffee in the living room.

“You think you can come home late and not get punished. Who the hell where you sleeping with you little slut.” She screamed in ear.

“I-I got detention. I wasn’t doing anything I swear.” I said trying to contain my tears. I learned long ago crying only makes it worse.

I started to see black spots. She started kicking me. Everywhere. Over and over. More and More black spots started to appear. I don’t think I can hold on much longer. As I passed out the only thing that was on my mind.    

Where the hell is my knight?

Waking up in a cold sweat isn’t unusual for me. But this was awful. I had never had such a descriptive dream before now.

Getting up, I realize that I woke up from the living room. I quietly make my way up to the bathroom. Ugh more school, wonderful.

Getting a shower and picking out my usual outfit was as hard as it normally was. Reaching to high or bending to low, resulted in a stabbing pain in my stomach and ribs. I don’t know how much more of this I could take.

Sighing I put my thoughts aside and walked out my door. Headphones in. I don’t have my music as loud as I usually do. After yesterday I’ve been more cautious than I have been.

I felt my right headphone being pulled out of my ear.

“What the hell!” I turned to my right to see the one person I didn’t want to see.

“You look like shit.” He said.

“Shut the hell up jack.” I made my way back towards school. But jack just wouldn’t leave.

“Where do you think your going, again.”

“School you should try it some time.”

“I have. Yesterday.”

“Hardy har har.” I mocked a laugh.

“Just leave me alone.” I say.

“Hmm let me think. Oh yeah, no”  

I don’t think it’s possible to want to ignore someone so much. I’m trying my best. But he’s so persistent. He walks next to me in perfect silence.

I started walking faster, almost sprinting. I didn’t get very far before I felt a tug on my arm. I cursed in my head and tried not to show my pain.

“Shit sorry forgot.” He looked at me with regret before I turned away and kept my head down.

“Ok so I’m going to make a deal with you.” He started. “you tutor me in all the classes we have together and I’ll protect you at school.”

“What?” I was completely confused.

“You tutor me,” He said very slowly, “and I get people to stop bullying you at school.”
