The sound of a screaming mother and slurred father filled the air. A young girl of age 16 burst into her room limping. The distant teen sat up against her closet door, clutching her knees tight against her chest. She could feel her hearts ever increasing rapid beat. Steaming tears flooded from her face as she caressed the open wound on her forearm.
This is Emily.
Emily was happy, on the outside.. She was a gothic hippie hybrid. She loved to draw both creepy and beautiful things, and listen to both creepy and beautiful music. However, the life she lived was, alone, a nightmare. and dawned her armor against words from her loved one's and a fake smile for everyone else every morning.
Abusive mother, drunken father, what were she to do? Ever since age 7 when daddy came back into the picture, Emily has been living in her own personal hell. Dad got messed up and "barrowed" moms money, then mom would get cross and take out her anger on little Emily..
She reached for her art pad and a pencil, and began drawing a scratchy bold black heart. "Why is it that tears come more easily to me than laughter?.." she thought to herself.
She quickly crumpled up the paper and tossed it aside. "No one understands the intense pain, both physical and emotional.. Forgive them father for they know not of what they do." she silently prayed.
Then, opening her eyes, she whispered "Or do they just not care?.."
She spoke aloud as she drew an imaginary world of sketchey landscapes and creepy friends.
"Words scrape the bone, and actions scream louder. Save me from this hell, and I'll promise to never return.."
Suddenly, a glass shattered as it fell to the hardwood floor in the next room. Her sadness lingered and turned to anger as she ran her fingers over her bruises, and scars.
"F*** it!" she yelled, although it was a whisper compared to the argument in action going on in the next room.
"I'm leaving tonight.."
