BPOV
I woke up and there was a dull pain originating from my chest slowly intensifying with every breath I took. I hesitantly opened my eyes glancing to see if Charlie was lingering, waiting for me to regain consciousness before he continued beating me. I pushed myself of the stone cold hardwood floor and my bones protested in agony a small groan of unsatisfaction escaped my lips. It had always been like this and since my mother had died it had just gotten worse. Everything changed when my mother took on Charlie's last name, she had once told me it was like a split personality a Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde type of syndrome, that when they first met he treated her like she was a princess always taking her thoughts into consideration then his demurer changed as soon as she said "I do". I was born a year after their marriage not planned of course; just the aftermath of Charlie's drunken irrationalised behaviour towards my mother. After I was born my mother, Renee decided to get a hysterectomy so that no more children would have to suffer the wrath of Charlie later in life. Renee just lived with his behaviour until I was 7 years old, i always knew there was something different about my family so being at an inquisitive age i asked Charlie why he hit mummy and made her cry when everybody else's daddy's didn't do that. He replied by hitting me across the face, i fell into a glass vase on the side unit and cut open my forearm. Renee immediately took me to the hospital before Charlie could inflict more damage onto me. That was the night Renee decided me and her had to leave, i would love to say we got away and now live happily in Florida drinking drinks with a umbrella's dangling of the side and laughing until the sun set's but as you can see not everyone gets their fairytale ending. Charlie came home early that night and found me and Renee by the door holding our suitcases, long story short that was the night my mother died of a head wound that was inflicted by her "Falling" and hitting her head on the corner of the marble worktop. There were no suspicious circumstances associated with her death, Charlie was cleared and became the sole guardian of me. And ever since then my life has been like this. Worthless.
