S.P.O.V.

i was at home awaiting my fait. i was thinking about how my mother died. I Hate him.

I was cut of thinking to myself when the door opened and in came my step father. Drunk and all.

'He is the one that killed your mother!' the little voice inside my head was telling me. My step father came in not noticing at all. 'Run while you still can!'.' I cant I told myself mentally. My step father abuses me. He killed my mother and now he abuses me worse then when my mother was alive.

"ALLISON!!!" .he yell and I winced. I still had my bruises from last nights beating. "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU STILL SITTING AROUND FOR?!?!"

He roared. "I-I-was just sitting, and thinking of new sketches to do for my show." I lied in a fragile voice.

"WELL THEN SENCE I SEE YOUR DONE MAYBE YOU CAN GO GET THE WHIP,!!!"

I started crying but did as he told.

When I came back and gave it to him , he snatched it and with a loud whipping noise brought it down to my already broken ribs .He started hitting where all the bruises were from last nights beating. I whimper in pain. He didn't care . "please stop." I cried but he started kicking me and slapping me across the face. He flung me against the wall and threw our back window .Thank go there are only two houses on my street and the other house lived a little further so no one can hear us. My step dad comes out and drags me back inside. I cried as loud as I ever did before when he took out his pocket knife and sliced my arm all the way from my shoulder to my wrist. But he only did it to make it look like I giant cat scratch or something. "PLEASE STOP "I cried louder begging. He just ignored me .

I just waited till he was finished beating me and telling me how worthless and stupid and ugly I am. I tried to hold on but all I could see around the room was blood. I soon let the darkness take me. But I knew I would still be here in the morning.

The next morning….

I woke up to see my step father passed out on the couch. I tried to get up but I fell down again .But I fell in blood." as usual" I whispered to myself.

Once I finally got up, I went and looked at the clock. It was 6:05am. I still have time. I went in the shower and had to hold back a scream as the water hit my back, sides and face. While I was washing blood out of my hair I was wondering why he always called me Allison. When him and my mom first met he to would call me sonny. He changed. I got out of the shower and ran into my room. I out on a long loos sleeved baby blue shirt. Hopefully this one doesn't reveal anything. And put on black jeans and a pair of black converse. I put on my make up I gathered all my stuff and went out to my car. I must say for a girl who get abused a lot sure has a nice car. I had a silver Mercedes Benz SLR. My mom got it for me before my step dad killed her. I wasn't allowed to tell nobody. When I got in my car I had to actually force myself to bend just to get into my car. This car was the only thing my step dad allowed me to have that wouldn't get ruined or have blood splattered everywhere.

When I finally arrived at the studio and got to my dressing room tawny was there . We had finally become best friends and she started to care about others as much as herself. When she looked at me threw her mirror she gasped. "SONNY WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!!?"

"What?" I asked .

"you have a big bruise on the side of your neck"

"what!!?!!" I must have sounded alarmed because she asked again " what happened?"

"I…I -uh-..fell down my stairs this morning and must have hit it against the railing." I lied . It felt terrible.

", are you sure?" she asked kind of suspicious.

"yeah totally." I said walking over to my makeup table, covering it up with some skin toner to match my skin.( AN:SORRY I DONNT KNOW THE NAME OF THE STUFF USED FOER LIKE COVERING UP LIKE YOU KNOW UP PIMPLS OR WHATEVER.)

"I'm going to go to the cafeteria and get fro-yo. Want one?" I asked

"no thanks I already had one before you came"

"Ok"I said leaving the room. Once I closed the door and walked down the hall I started looking at my bruises threw my sleeve. I started crying because of how much I remembered about all the years I have been abused and then there were all the scares from the knifes. I was so caught up in it that I didn't know that I was about to walk into someone. When I collided with that person I let out a loud shriek because that person rammed right into my rib cage and where most of the bruises are. I quickly closed my mouth.

"Watch it Munroe" I heard the voice of a person who I really didn't want to see.

"I'm s-so-sor-sorry Chad." I said trying my best not to cry from the pain.

"sonny are you okay?"

He now asked in a concerned tone. "yeah I'm fine " I said getting up and trying to leave. But he did something I didn't think he would. He used one hand of his to grab my waist and the other my wrist. I Let out a shrilling scream , but recovered my mouth .

"god sonny what's wrong?" he said , noticing my tears.

"n-noth-nothing" I said. "Yeah right nothings wrong. You screamed as soon as I touched you. You were even looking at me". he stated. Busted I thought.' just tell him' the little voice in my head commanded. "NO I WILL NOT!!" ii guess I said that out loud, because Chad was looking at me like I was nuts." are you ok sonny?" he asked in a concerned voice. "I'm s-sure." I said . He didn't buy it. "Really?" he asked letting go of me. I missed his touch. "yes" I said I bit to fast, and began to turn around and leave when he caught my arm again. I screamed a high pitched scream loud enough the josh the mail guy came out screaming "WHAT HPPEND" but was quickly dismissed by Chad saying "nothing, go away, Jake"." it's josh" he mumbled walking away. When he was gone, Chad gently took my arm. I whimpered when he touched it. He gently pulled up sleeve and gasped at what he saw. He had concerned written all over his face when he looked at the scars , cuts , bruises and the long cut used by a blade ."so-sonny what happened to you? Who did this?" . I ripped my arm from his, instantly regretted it when my arm started hurting. I said "No one did this to me" a little bit to fast. "sonny I doubt you did this your self.". I was about to reply when my phone started ringing indicating a had a call. I took out my phone and looked at the caller ID. It was my step dad. My eyes widened and I started crying. Chad must have noticed because he said ." Are you okay?" ."yeah" I lied . I answered my phone." hello?" I said in a small voice. "ALLISON!!! I NEED YOU TO GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW YOU LITTLE BRAT!!" he said." I can't , my rehearsals are in 10 minutes." I replied innocently.

"FINE BUT AS SOON AS YOU ARE DONE YOU COME RIGHT AWAY!!! I'M HAVING MY FRIENDS OVER". he replied coldly. I started to cry even more saying "okay". and heard the dial tone. I knew what he meant he was having his friends over. My step dads friends would come over and would take turns beating me. "Sonny what's wrong?" Chad said sounding alarmed. I hadn't realized he was still there. "Nothing" I said. I started to walk away, but he followed me." you were okay before you got that call". "Chad its nothing, please stay out of it . It has nothing to do with you. You should be happy it doesn't." I replied ice cold." I have to go now." I said. "okay I will see you later then". he said. "maybe but don't count on it" . I said. And I made my way to rehearsals.

C.P.O.V.

I looked at her arm. I was screaming on the inside . Who would do this to her?. I knew something was up when I saw the long cut. That could only be made by a knife. "So-sonny, what happened to you?. Who did this to you?" I started to get made. She pulled her arm out of my grasp. I Heard her whimper and knew she regretted it. "nothing happened to me." she replied to fast. 'she's lying.'. the little voice inside my head said." sonny I doubt you did this to yourself." she was about to reply when she got a call. When she looked at the caller ID she started to cry." are you okay?" I asked her "yeah" she said. She picked it up and said' hello' in a small voice. I saw her shut her eyes tight as I heard another person scream in to her phone. She started sobbing before she hung up. Something is defiantly going on. " sonny what's wrong?" I asked her sounding alarmed . " nothing" she said. She started to walk away. I followed her "you were fine before you got the call " I said. " Chad its nothing. Please stay out of it. It has nothing to do with you. You should be happy it doesn't.". she replied coldly. " I have to go now" she said. " okay I'll see you later then" I said. "maybe but don't count on it." she said before fully disappearing. What does she mean by that?. I admit it I Chad Dylan cooper cares and truly loves sonny Munroe. And I am most determined to find out what's wrong with my sonshine. Maybe I will follow her home tonight and see what's going on. Maybe I can find out why she has those cuts and bruises.

S.P.O.V

Rehearsals went fine today. Whenever I'm acting I always do it the way I'm supposed to. I don't act like a teenager who gets abused acts. I can never where anything revealing when I am out. My step father watches the show to make sure I don't. But what I'm really worried about is that Chad saw the cuts and bruises .I got out of the car waiting for the pain to happen. I opened the door and saw my step father and his two friends waiting for me. They all came and started beating me at the same time. I didn't even plea for them to stop they just kept going. I soon let the darkness take over me again.
