'You're a worthless idiot! Why do even exist you ugly piece of shit!' my mum exclaimed angrily
'I'm sorry mum! I didn't mean to do it! It just slipped and..' I started to explain, but like always my mum had cutten me off with a hard slap to my cheek.
'What were you saying? Do you dare to disrespect me? How dare you talk back to me? I'm your mum, show me some respect! You're so ugly and stupid! UGH! I can't even believe it is possible for you to exist, why can't you be more like Kirsten?' with each word, my mum's tone just gets louder and louder until I'm pretty sure the whole street can hear it.
Secrets. Abuse. Betrayal. Abuse.
Life is full of surprises. Maybe too much for a girl to handle on her own.
-"Why are you crying?"
What, I didn't know I was crying.
-"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up.
-"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees.
-"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close.
-"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom.
*Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up.
-"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!"
I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest.
He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him.
As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact.
-"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you."
I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit.
-"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound.
