CHAPTER 1

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I groan as I sit up in bed and immediately shut off my alarm for fear of waking him up. My heart is racing and slow my breathing and listen.

Nothing

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and stretch out my arms to ease out my stiff muscles. A pain lances through my side and I immediately drop my arms and wince. I had almost forgotten about last night.

I get out of bed grabs some clothes and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I let the steaming water ease the tension in my muscles and relax. When I'm done I get out and get dressed in a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I know right so simple for a girl, but to be honest I could care less about what people think about me.

I grab my bag for school and quietly head downstairs. I grab a granola bar and leave out the front door. I walk down the street heading towards my school. I don't relax till it is in my sight. He wouldn't try anything in public. Would he? Well at least hes never tried.

I walk in the front door and groan. Today. Is going to be a long day.

******

After school I head down to the coffee shop right around the corner from my house. If your wondering. Yes, I am avoiding going home. Why? Because I know he will be there waiting. I sit down and order my regular a double shot caramel frappe. Yes I'm addicted.

After another 30 minutes of stalling and drinking my coffee, I realize I have to go home sometime. So I start the longest walk of my life. Not really, but I make it one.

As soon as I'm standing in front of my door I freeze. I can smell the rancid smell of smoke and alcohol. I know he's in there because I can hear him pacing. He's angry, really angry. I know he's just waiting to get his hands on me and I'm trying everything to avoid it, but I know I can't.

I take a deep breath and let it out before slowly opening the door. Before I can even step in, the door is yanked open and there stands, Ryan, my father. He's red in the face and stirring with rage. If steam could come out of his ears it would with how angry he is.

Ryan grabs me by my hair and pulls me inside and I bite down my scream. He slams the door shut and throws me to the ground. I groan as my already bruised side slams into the counters edge. Before I have anytime to react I'm being pulled up by my hair and set on my feet.

"Where the hell have you been Katherine?!" He shouts in my face and I flinch back.

"I...I...I went out for coffee" I murmur terrified of what he'll do next.

"You what?!?" He snarls out

"I..I..I'm sorry" I tense up. He throws a punch at me and my lungs feel like they
are on fire. I cant breath and the side of my vision is filled with black spots. He keeps throwing punch after punch until he stops and I'm on the ground in pain and on the edge of unconsciousness.

Ryan walks out the house and I drift off

******

I wake up and squint due to the shining sun right in my face. I cant move, my muscles are aching and I feel nothing but pain. I try to stand up and pain slices through my side and I realize my ribs are bruised. Luckily not broken.

I stand up through the pain and make my way upstairs. I carefully lay in bed and curl up and let the silent tears flow down my cheeks.

I hear the front door slam hours later and I instantly tense up. There's stumbling on the stairs and I slowly get out of bed and creep to the corner. My door flies open and a very intoxicated very angry ryan walks in.

"KATHERINE!!!" He shouts angrily and he throws me into the wall "IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!!' He punches me in my side and I fall screaming as I feel my rib snap in half as the air leaves my lungs. I completely freeze. If I know anything, it's not to make a sound while he beats me. Ryan rips me up by my hair and drags me out of my room and throws me down the stairs. I black out for a few minutes and before I know it I'm being thrown into the living room . "This is all your fault!! This would have never happened if you were never born!"

"N...no it's not" I whimper out. Wrong thing to say, really wrong thing to say. His eyes turn cold and dark and I cower to the ground in fear. He drags me to the couch and throws me down onto it. My eyes are squeezed tight in fear of what's coming. I feel a searing pain on the edge of my back and I cant hold in my screams any longer.

"THIS WILL TEACH YOU! IT IS YOUR FAULT KATHERINE!" He screams at me. I'm dying. I start losing consciousness and my vision has black spots. I'm going to die. I'm still screaming in pain but my body is growing numb to the pain. The last thought I have before I black out is, I'm not ready to die.
