Ella's POV
Hi I'm 13, love gymnastics, and my mom passed away 7 years ago, my dad has hated my guts ever since, and says I caused her death, which I believe is true now, and has made me realize I am not good enough so for that reason I try to have as little contact with anyone as possible.
John(dad)-
"ELLA GET YOUR AS* DOWN HERE RIGHT F*CKING NOW!!"
Ella-
Oh dear god! I brace myself for what could happen, and I run downstairs.
"Y- yes d- dad?"
John(dad)-
"DONT F*CKING STUTTER. ARE YOU AN IDIOT? ITS SO ANNOYING!"
Ella-
"S- sorry"
He slaps me across the face, it burns and hurts so bad but I try not to flinch.
I'm not letting him have the satisfaction of getting a reaction.
"Sorry, I mean sorry!"
John(dad)-
"Get your as* to the kitchen and make me some breakfast!!"
Ella-
"I'm gonna be late for school, you know it's the law right?!"
John(dad)-
"DONT BE A SMART AS*!!!!!!"
Ella-
He kicks me to the ground and starts kicking and punching me everywhere.
"Ahhhhhhh - owwwwwww please s- stop!!!"
John(dad)-
"I DONT F*CKING CARE, YOU BETTER HURRY THEN AND IF I GET A CALL FROM SCHOOL THAT YOU ARE LATE, YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S COMING TONIGHT!!"
Ella-
It's already 7:50 and school starts at 8:00
And I have a 30 minute walk from there
He walks away and I slowly get up, wincing every time I move
I go to the kitchen and make him breakfast
I gave it to him and he yanks the collar of my shirt and yells in my ear
John(dad)-
"GO CHANGE!!!! YOU LOOK DISGUSTING WITH ALL THOSE BRUISES, SO GO PUT LONG SLEEVES AND PANTS ON!!!!"
