Chapter 1

Monday, December 21

Not the best, not the worst, but everything was okay.

I keep telling myself over and over again while examining the bruises on my arm. He did it once again; just this time it was worse, he says he loves me and he means it when in reality he's abusing.

I continue to look at the bruises, tears were streaming down my face at this point. I raised my right hand and touched the bruises lightly. They were pretty big for bruises,dark blue and purple. Such a pretty color isn't it?

I then stopped touching them and look in the mirror. I had freaking eye liner running down my eyes, my hair all over the place,  my arms bruised up,  my lip busted up. I tried smiling but I couldn't. My lips hurt so bad, it was as if someone busted it with a baseball bat. Luckily my teeth didn't fall out or get busted.

I then walk over to my towel rack and grab my little face towel. I run it underneath luke warm water and put it on my lip. The blood wouldn't stop dripping from my lip, I had to get out of here fast. I can't stand it anymore.

I finish cleaning up my mess along with my bruises. I winced every time I brushed over it. I get done and head towards the door. Before I do I turn the light off and open the door quitely, I step out the bathroom door and look both ways.

"Clear" I say to myself. I then tiptoe my way out the bathroom and head to my room. I try to be as quite as I can but these floorboards are loud and squeaky. I finally make my way into my room and close the door lightly. I walk over to my night stand and pull out this little box along with a tray.

I pull out my bag of weed and grab a couple of nuggets. I lay them flat out on the tray, I then grab my grinder and put the nuggets in there to grind them out. After I was finished I grabbed a swisher sweet and broke it open letting all the other crap go. I put my weed in and lay it flat along the paper, after I was done I licked it.

I then stand up and put the blunt behind my ear, I grab my skateboard and hop out the window. I'm not sure where I was going but I was going somewhere. I had to get out of here, it wasn't my scene.

I pull my headphones out of my pocket and play nothings gonna hurt you baby by cigarettes after sex.

"I'm craving a monster" I mumble to myself, instead of taking the way I usually go I end up heading to the store. "I hope Isaac is home" I think to myself. The clerk guy looks up at me and smiles. "Hello Skylar" he says while waving his hand. I nod my head and smile. I walk away and head to the drink area.

"Hmm which one do I want" I think to myself. *ding* the bell jingles which causes my head to go up. "Hey Hannah" the clerk says. "Oh SHIT NOT HANNAH" I yell in my head. I grab a monster and head to the counter. (It could be any monster you like).

I look over to see Hannah with two friends. My cheeks go red. "Hey Skyler nice skateboard" she says while smiling. "T-Thank you" I say and put my drink up on the counter. "She's still staring abort abort please" I scream to myself in my head.

I hurry up and pay then grab the drink, I open the door for myself and place my skateboard down. I pop the can open and drink a little while skateboarding and don't look back. "HANNAH!" I heard one of her friends say.

"WHAT" she yells back, I'm not sure why or what she was staring at but I'm sure she was staring at my bruises. I find that so embarrassing, this man is an abuser he needs jail time. I really want to call the police on him but I can't it'll hurt my mom.

I wipe my cheek from the tear that was falling. I just keep thinking about how he did it and what for. "HEY!" I heard someone yell at me, which causes me to get scared and fall off my board. "What?!" I yell back, the tall figure jumps off the roof and lands in front of me. "What are you doing Skyler it's late" the tall figure says to me with something in his left hand.
