She slowly crept her way down the hall. 'You're almost there,' she thought. 'Just a little farther…'

"Where the fuck do you think you're goin'!"

'Damn…' She slowly turned around. Chad sneered at her and took another swig from the bottle in his hand. "What's the matter bitch, you scared or sumthin'?" He made his way towards her, and she backed away.

"Get the fuck away from me." She backed into her room and slammed her door shut.

"Hahaha scared little shit, aren't ya." He took another swig, chuckled to himself, turned around, and headed back to the couch where he had previously been watching TV.

Alex let the breath she had been holding out, and slid down the door. She rubbed her eyes tiredly. She never understood how or why her mother, Emily, always chose the seems-good-but-really-bad guy every single time, but she did, and here was number ten, Chad, who seemed to love to not just attack his girlfriend, but also his girlfriend's daughter. Of course, Emily didn't know about it. Alex could have told her plenty of times, but she figured that Emily had too many problems on her hand. So, she kept her mouth shut, and took the beatings with as little noise as possible.

Alex sighed, got up, and looked around her cluttered room. It was the middle of a Saturday afternoon, and she had absolutely nothing to do. She didn't want to hang out in the ravine because Jay was probably there and she wasn't really on good terms with him after the whole cheating on her with her best friend thing, and she didn't want to go watch TV because, well heck, Chad was out there. So, here she was, Alex Nunez, the Queen of the Badasses, stuck at home with her mother's abusive boyfriend. How exciting.

Sighing again, she headed towards her bed and lay down gingerly. The bruises on her back from a week ago when she had accidentally dropped a plate were starting to go away, but they still hurt like hell. She put her arm over her eyes and tried to relax a little more. 'Maybe if I fall asleep, this shitty world won't seem as bad…'She laughed bitterly to herself. 'Riiiight.' She rolled over onto her side, and slowly began to fall asleep.

But what she didn't realize was that her world was about to change…very dramatically.


Tell me what you think!
