Such a disappointment

by lettersfromyou

When Bella Swan moved to forks, she never imagined how much her father had changed. Now Charlie had become a violent, bitter man, but she is too scared to tell anybody the horrid things he does to her. will anyone be able to save her?

I pulled my fingers up to my bruised lips, brushing them lightly over the cracked skin. After a shot of pain rampaged there, I pulled away, and lay back down on the floor. The wood smelt of damp, in clear contrast with the perfectly cut, bright wooden flooring in the rest of the house.
I never used to be like this, I never used to resort to sleeping on the cold floor with my knees pulled up to my chest in an attempt to calm the raging pain in my stomach; I used to be somebody.

Charlie had never been so violent before. He used to be so gentle, so delicate that one touch would break him, but now, now he was a violent, masochistic excuse for a man. But he was my father, and nothing could change that. I was never given a reason for why I was beaten so badly, or for why he hated me so much, all I was ever given was another kick in the abdomen for being such a disappointment.
"Get up, you have school" He told me in a firm voice, showing me his authority. His hands were in the pockets of his worn denim jeans, and he wore a baggy white t-shirt. He didn't stay long, instead he walked off, and left me to do what I did best; cover up the evidence. I was always inspected before I left the house, just to be sure that every bruise and cut was hidden by a layer of clothing, or make-up. Today, due to the cold weather, was an excuse to wear more layers than usual. I opted for a grey, long sleeved sweatshirt, which covered the bruises on my arms perfectly. I never wore skirts, so it was a choice between black jeans, or grey sweats, so I chose the black jeans. Trainers were perfect for a cold day like today, and a decorative scarf to conceal the marks on my neck, and shoulders. As for my face, there wasn't much I could do. I tried my best, I really did. The make-up was layered on thick, and made my pale skin seem slightly orange. I hated that look. Despite my efforts, the blue and black marks still showed slightly, and the cut on my lip was too noticeable to do anything about.
