Authors note:
Hello there readers just want to say that this is my first story hence why the summary might be pretty dull and bad. Well I got the idea from a short story I wrote in my English 2 class last year. Any type of criticism is accepted. Well hope you enjoy!
In the middle of a room sat a young teenage girl crying. She was 16 years of age and her name was Sakura. She had bubble gum pink hair and bright emerald green eyes. Though at the moment, you couldn't tell since her hands were covering her face to cover up the tears. her whole body was trembling uncontrollably from the pain it was feeling. Though the pain wasn't as bad as it was like any other day. No today was a calmer day. She didn't get beat as much today. The most she received today was just being choked and dragged across the floor by her hair. She thought back to what her life was before. It was peaceful and calm. The perfect life any person could ask for.
She had a loving and caring parents. Both completely successful in the medical business. Her father was a doctor while her mother was a well-known pediatrician. That was before the accident. The accident that caused her mother's death which was 5 years ago. Her fault he said. It was all her fault. Or that's what her father had always said. He blamed her for the accident that to away his precious wife. Since the accident happened at the time that she was picking her up from her dance class. So for that he blamed her. At first he would just verbally abuse her hurting her with words he knew would hurt her. Then later came his drinking problem which was accompanied by physical abuse. Then after 3 years came the sexual abuse.
She wouldn't even try to fight him off because she already knew what would happen. The first night it happened he had sneaked into her room while she was asleep and she tried to get him off. Big mistake. It just made him more upset. He had broken her arm that day. Since he was a doctor no one really thought much about it he would write her excuses for her to miss school if necessary and make sure she caught up on school work.
Also since people knew his name from around no one grew suspicious and thought maybe she was just a clumsy girl. Everyone felt as if they were a perfect family even after her mothers death.
If only they knew! But they couldn't no she could never tell a soul. For what would people think or say? Would they even believe her that Mr. Takishi Haruno the renowned known doctor was abusing his teenage daughter for years and she never told a soul? Surely the blame would be put on her for the sexual abuse.
She couldn't tell a soul. Even if she wanted to whom would she tell? She had no friends she had been a loner ever since her mother died. Plus kids at her school always made fun of her calling her a freak and a teacher's pet just because she was academically advanced. When she was in 8th grade they had skipped her up to her freshman year saying she had brilliant mind.
Of course that only got her bullied her first two years in high school now she was 16 and a junior in high school. She didn't want to have to face more time being bullied at school and then come home to get abused by her father!
That's why for 2 years straight she would help out a restaurant as a waitress and save up money from tips and her pay check. Plus shed save her lunch money her father would give her and just eat the crappy stuff served at school. With all that money she had planned on being able to run away. She wanted to get away and start a new life. In one week's tops she would have enough money to support herself for a bit while she got a job and finished off school. she would rent a small budget apartment and go to a public school which would be a huge change from private school.
Shed have to change her identity and everything if she wanted to get away. She knew her father would track her down to no extent. She had already bought a black wig and blue colored contacts. She had a back pack set with clothes and certain items she would need for her trip. She planned on taking a train but knew that it would be the obvious place her father would track her down with so she decided on taking a bus.
She didn't know exactly where she wanted to go but anywhere was better the there.
Sakura quickly got up off the floor when she heard footsteps approaching. She braced herself for her father and she looked at the time. It was 10:45pm. She already knew what would happen and braced herself. Slowly the door knob turned and the door opened revealing her father's face. Soon he pushed the whole door open. She stared at his hard face and into his cold green eyes. The eyes that once caused her such happiness but now caused her so much pain.
He left the door open and walked towards Sakura. She already knew why he was here and waited for everything to be over. She didn't cry or say a word. She knew it would make it worst. In just a matter of moments It would all be over. She could smell the alcohol on his breath and she decided that tonight would be the last night she would leave tomorrow. Shed leave tomorrow and would finally be able to leave the hell hole she was in and never look back.
The next morning:
When she sakura woke up she woke up with a new mindset. Today she would be free with not having to deal with her father's abuse. She did her normal duties like every other morning so to not raise suspicion with her father. She cleaned the house and got dressed as if she was going to school. She grabbed the backpack that she prepared with all the necessities she would need, well until she was firmly stable that is, and walked to the kitchen. She silently started preparing her father's breakfast.
Moments later her father was walking down the stairs and into the question. When sakura turned around to greet her father she was surprised to see him on the phone. She kept quiet to not disturb his call to not piss him off. Not that it would make much of a difference. She decided to keep on cooking and just listen to the conversation he was having.
"no of course it's no bother, I'll pick you up on my way home from the hospital " he spoke into the phone "ill also make some sleeping arrangements at the nearest hotel for both of you as well…Oh you want to stay here?...Of course it's no problem I just thought you would want privacy….yes it has been awhile since I've seen you both…any how I will speak to you later I'll be at the airport to meet you both…of course I'll see you soon." With that the phone call had ended.
Her father looked up at sakura then spoke with a hard voice. "Listen and listen closely I do not want to repeat myself, were having visitors over this week so you have to prepare the guest bedrooms."
Sakura didn't turn to her father but responded to him none the less. "Who's visiting?" she asked curious as to who would be coming to visit when no one was ever really allowed to come here.
"just make sure the rooms are ready like I told you." With that he stood up and grabbed the coffee she had prepared for him. He drank the hot coffee down in one fell swoop.
When he was done he put the cup down with a hard slam. He started walking to the door breakfast completely forgotten. When he had gotten to the door he called out to sakura. "if I were you id get a head start walking schools a pretty long way to go and I don't want to hear later from teachers that you were late to school." with that he opened the door and closed it shut.
Sakura let go of the breath she didn't know that she was holding and grabbed everything to make sure she was ready. She ate a quick breakfast because she didn't know when would be the next time she would eat something.
With all the courage in the world sakura walked out the front door and closed it shut. She readjusted the backpack on her back and took a few steps forward. After deciding that this indeed was the best thing for her she started walking. She headed in the direction of the bus station. She was glad that she was finally doing this and escaping the craziness that was in her house hold.
