20 Years Ago
"You stupid son of a bitch!" a man yelled
He strikes a 13 years old in the face.
"Dad Stop!" a girl yelled
"Get the fuck off of me Velvet!" Dad yelled
He then shoves Velvet to the ground.
An older much buffer man comes from the kitchen and takes the man down and begins to wail on him with thunderous rights and lefts.
"John stop!" Velvet yelled
Velvet then tries to pull John off but John was too strong.
"John stop!" Velvet yelled
But John didn't listen and he continued to beat the man which led Velvet to slap John in the face.
"Stop John!" Velvet yelled
John then got up and ran upstairs while Velvet went to check on the boy.
"You alright AJ?" Velvet said
"Yeah little sis I'm alright." AJ said
"But Velvet where's John?" AJ said
"He's upstairs but come on AJ just lay down for a while ok?" Velvet pleaded
"Ok Velvet but just for you." AJ said
"Thanks Big bro." Velvet said
As Velvet helped AJ to bed she went to check on John who had a huge bag.
"Uh John?" Velvet said
"What little sis?" John said
"What's with the bag?" she asked
"I'm leaving this hellhole." John said
"Yeah right John." Velvet said
"Velvet I'm serious." John said
Velvet then looked into John's eyes and also listened to his tone of voice and Velvet could tell John was dead serious.
"John please don't tell me you're actually leaving." Velvet said
"Sorry little sis but I got to." John said
"Why? did I do something wrong?" Velvet asked
"No it's not you nor AJ it's Dad." John said
"John you have to stay." Velvet pleaded
"You saw what happened I almost killed the man who could've killed AJ." John said
"But what about me and AJ?" Velvet said
"I'm really sorry but I promise I'll come back for you." John said
Velvet began to cry as John took his bag and began to head for the door.
Velvet then ran down the stairs and clutched on her older brother's leg.
"John please don't leave he's gonna beat on AJ and then he's gonna beat on me." Velvet cried
John then grabbed Velvet by the arms and they were face to face.
"Velvet I need you to be a strong girl for your big brother you understand?" John asked
"Yes." Velvet said
"I'll be back I promise I love you Velvet." John said
"I love you too John." Velvet said
John and Velvet then hugged.
"I have to go." John said letting go of Velvet.
"Be a strong girl ok?" John aske
"Ok." Velvet said
John then opened the door and began to ran really fast.
"Hey Daisy!" Dad yelled
"It's Velvet." Velvet said
Her drunken dad responded with a slap to Velvet's face.
He then grabbed Velvet and tosses her into his room.
"Dad what are you doing?" Velvet said
"Shut Up!" Dad yelled
Dad then began to unbuckle his belt and then began to whip Velvet.
Velvet screamed loud and began to cry.
"You will listen to me no more fucking attitude!" Dad yelled
AJ then got up and went after his Dad.
"Leave her alone!" AJ yelled
But his dad throws AJ right into the wall and began to stomp on him.
"Don't ever talk to me like that again you little piece of shit!" Dad yelled
Velvet opened the window.
"JOHN!" Velvet yelled
John had made his way through the woods and heard the screams of pain from AJ and Velvet.
"JOHN!" a voice yelled
John was caught between a rock and a hard place and decided to keep going.
