(Next day)
I walk into school to embarrassed to look up from my feet. I had hicks all down my neck and bruises on my legs.
"Amu-chi, what's wrong?" Yay a asked me.
"Nothing, I just fell down the stairs while vacuuming and got a bunch of suction marks" I replied with a sigh escaping my mouth trying to make it sound believable she giggle and walked off to class. More and more people asked the same question and I kept the story the same.
I went home today and attempted to run to my room, only to be held back by my stepfather. Again, it happened AGAIN.
I was slowly getting used to the abuse I received at home. It happened every day for the past week.
"Amu, your mother wants to talk to you." His voice called from the downstairs. I walked down grabbed the phone and went back to my room.
"Mom" I started tears falling out of my eyes
"Amu, honey, what's wrong?" She asked sympathy in her voice.
"Come home please. He... He.." I fumbled to spill the words that were piled in my mouth.
"What is it?" She asked
"He had his friends rape me" I state quietly and squeaky with tears flowing from my eyes.
"Amu Hinamori, just because you miss your dad doesn't mean you can lie about your new dad. Let me tell you something, you know if you want to blame someone for your dads death, it's you. You could have walked home... He would have still been here then" she said shakily I could tell she was crying. I hung up not wanting to here another word from her.
