Chapter 1: Broken
Clare's POV
I thought this could never happen to me. I was Clare Edwards. The perfect girl. The smart girl. But i guess everything went wrong when my parents were bickering. I was annoyed with it, but didn't really budge in because I didn't think it would be such a big deal. Parents bicker right? Then it turned to fighting... a lot. Then it just became heartbreaking. When you look at a picture of my family, you see perfection. But behind that picture...it's broken. And I don't know when it's going to end or if it is ever going to end. I just wish things were back to where they are. I can't tell Ali this kind of stuff because she wouldn't understand. Neither Connor, Wesley, or Dave. Then...there is him. Eli Goldsworthy. He's basically how I try to survive the fighting of my parents. I can't explain him exactly...he just gets me like no other and he's fearless. I love it.
No One's POV
Clare was interrupted by her thoughts when she heard a smack and crash coming from downstairs. Bad thoughts swirled her mind when she came across her dad...hitting her mom. Clare remained silent..until her dad saw her...
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? GET UPSTAIRS RIGHT NOW!" screamed her drunk father.
When Clare didn't move... her father smacked her and screamed again,
"DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID BITCH? GET. UPSTAIRS. NOW.!"
Clare rushed right upstairs and put on the headphones trying to ignore the screams and the fighting. For another night in a row... Clare cried herself to sleep. Wishing tomorrow would come again.
Sorry if this is short, I will write more later today. Should I continue ? Give me constructive critism!
