I was surely not expecting this much feedback! Thank you all so much for reviewing, and following and adding this to your favorites! Glad to see people are enjoying it.

Rachel picked up her stuff from the auditorium and started walking out. She set her water in her backpack and started to skateboard home. Rachel was quite scared to go home. But then again, when wasn't she. Going home was like a living breathing nightmare. She took out her keys and walked inside. Her father (as usual) was equally drunk, and saw her walk in.

"Hey slut!" He said his words slurring. She sighed and rolled her eyes without him seeing.

"I'm just here to get my uniform for work." She said starting to walk up the stairs. He got up.

"Oh you must think you're so good don't you. Ugly bitch." He said walking up the stairs following her. She was at the top of the stairs and somehow he had gotten to the starting point of the stairs so he was in front of her.

"Dad why can't I just get my stuff to go to work?" She asked clearly tired.

"Cause I said you stay. Me and you have unfinished business." He said stroking her hair. Rachel was clearly frightened because her breathing got heavier.

"No please." She begged. Her father got angry at this. He growled and pushed her. She fell down the stairs very hard. Her arms and legs started to bleed. Her father was coming at her and he had a object in his hand. It was what looked like a belt. Time felt like it was in slow motion. She looked at her surroundings. On the floor right next to the door was her light leather jacket, her bag and her skateboard. She thought for a millisecond. Then it hit her. My bag! She thought to herself I have my gym clothes in my bag! And I have some other clean clothes I was gonna wear if I dirtied myself skateboarding. I could grab it quickly along with my skateboard and jacket and run out. She started to get up. But it seemed like he was coming fast at her. She looked for any weapons to defend herself with. She suddenly remembered. Her switchblade! Her older brother Zac had always told her to carry a switchblade. She took it out of her back pocket. Her father was alarmed. But that didn't stop him. He came even closer and punched her in the face and kicked her in the stomach when she was down. While he was busy, trying to find another weapon in the kitchen Rachel slowly and quietly got up. She clutched the switchblade tightly like her life depended on it. As he turned around she inserted the blade into her fathers stomach. His face went from angry to calm as he slowed down and fell down. Even though the knife exited it's place from his stomach she still clutched on it. Her hands were shaking like it was winter and she didn't have a coat. She finally registered what happened. She felt something running up her throat. She was gonna be sick. After throwing up, she realized something. She had to go to the police. She was gonna go to jail. She was a murderer. The thought made her sick. But it was in self-defense! However, the police wouldn't know that. She got out her phone ready to call 911 when it mirrored her surroundings and there was a number on the top right hand corner that read 3:23. She was confused for a second but then she realized it had been recording everything. From when she got home to when she put the blade in her fathers stomach. Even though she didn't want to she watched the video. Luckily, it was in her pocket so it showed everything instead of just audio. She quickly grabbed her skateboard and rolled over to the police station. She told them the whole story. From her being abused to the moment where she- nevermind.

"Miss Berry we will have this figured out just wait right here." The officer told her as we walked away. She looked around and realized she was alone.

Life's too short to even care at all oh,
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control.
These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh,
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum.
Oh.
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart
Oh oh oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
Life's too short to even care at all oh
I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control
If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now
So I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down
One more spoon of cough syrup now [x2]

The officer came back with a glass of water and a file. He handed her the water.

"I made your school fax this over. It says your legal guardians are…. The Puckermans?"
