Don't Hurt Me, Don't Leave Me

Chapter 4: Your Lies Hurt

Dani's father wasn't joking when he said he'd only just begun, and she knew I was going to get worse… a lot worse.

He took his foot off her head and began kicking her in the ribs, and face. Then, stepped back to admire his handy work, and grabbed for a clean dish that had yet to be put away.

"Wow you really should have put these away, then I wouldn't have been able to throw them at you. You really can't do anything right, not even if it means saving you life." He scolded her as he picked up anything he could get his hands on, knives, forks, glass cups, plates, bowls, and threw them at the wall above her head, so the glass rained onto her.

When he ran out of dangerous things to throw at her, he went back over and pulled her to her feet by her hair. "What do you have to say now, hmmm?"

"That, that was pretty stupid of you. Now you have no cups, plates, or bowls to eat off of, and that now one less thing I have to do around here." She laughed at him.

"You're more of a stupid bitch than I thought," he slammed her body against the wall repeatedly.

"No I'm not and I was going to die anyway..."she began "unless Adrik comes" she added softly to herself, but Jack heard her and cut her off.

"Adrik as in the lead singer of Darkness Chosen, ha what would he do with a little slut like you…" he paused, but at her shocked silenced he continued "Oh you mean you didn't know, he's gonna use you, until he's sick of you. Then he's gonna toss you out on the street, just like I told him to." He revealed as he dropped her on the floor, letting more glass dig into her skin.

"Wait, WHAT!?!" she shrieked in pain, and looked up at him, her face covered in blood, and more dripping from the corners of her mouth.

"Haha yeah I owed Adrik for a favor he did me. So, I told him he could have you for a bit; a some fun and a little laugh at how pathetic you are. I never thought he would agree to take it this far, as to actually asking you to live with him, but hey just don't get too comfortable. You'll be outta there soon enough, I'd give it a week before he's sick of you. Then you'll come crawling back to your good old man, begging for a place to live. And ya know what I'll give it to ya… but your gonna have to work twice as hard for me as you have been." His laughing bellowed.

"You're both disgusting!" Dani spat a small puddle of blood onto the floor so she could keep talking, but her father jumped in "And you're the whore who fell for Adrik, so as far as I'm concerned its your own damn fault."

"Okay, and how does me dying fit into your little scheme?"

"Oh what I've done won't kill you. It'll bring you just the sweet brink of death and hurt like a bitch for a very long time… Now get out of my sight; you're too disgusting to look at." Dani began crawling away, but not fast enough, and her father kicked her down then walked away laughing loudly.

Dani finally made it to her bathroom and crawled over to the sink, pulling out a used razor she'd just thrown away and picked it apart. With the strength she had left she sliced deep into her wrist and cut a third of the way up her arm, then scribbled something on the floor in her blood.

By the time she'd done a second cut, everything was getting fuzzy and she was so light headed they room was spinning out of control. Dani shut her eyes, and let the numbing pain take over her body. "I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough, I couldn't take this anymore." She mumbled just above a whisper, as she lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, just as Dani was beginning the cuts, Adrik walked into the house and surveyed the scene; the shattered glass, and blood spatters on the floor, blood running down the wall, and the large puddle of blood expanding across the floor.

Adrik stormed thru the house looking for her, but found Jack instead.

"Hey, Jack Asshole what the fuck have you done? Where the hell is she?" he shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to hold back the fear he felt overwhelming him.

"Oh its nothing out of the norm. I just needed to put her in her place again. And she's upstairs, probably bawling her eyes out like a baby." He laughed.

"You are a true bastard, and deserve to die." Adrik spat and punched him square in the nose. It cracked and blood began gushing from both nostrils.

"You cunt!... Oh I see you've fallen for her, well she's a slut and a winy bitch so take her! I sure as hell don't want her anymore!" Jack finished and stormed off to take care of his nose, beer in hand.

Adrik took the stairs two at a time, and ran to her room, but found it empty. Next he went for the bathroom door and ripped it open. The sight that lay before him made him sick to his stomach. There lay his sweet Dani covered in cuts, bruises, and blood… So much blood. It flowed freely from her wrist and dripped steadily from her parted lips. As he ran to help her he noticed a small note written in her blood!

It read "Jack, and Adrik I'll see you in hell!"

Adrik was taken back by message and wondered what Jack had told her. He dug for a towel and quickly wrapped it around her wrist and applied pressure to slow the bleeding.

He then gently picked her up, knowing if he moved her he could hurt her more, but f he left her there she'd die in his arms, and began carrying her out.

Jack stopped them just before Adrik walked out the door saying "She's not worth the trouble, just leave her here."

"She is worth more than anything else, and if I left her she would die for sure. And so help me God if you ever get near her again I will kill you slowly and painfully with my bare hands,: Adrik finished with a cold snarl, and left.

Laying Dani gently in the back seat of his truck, he made sure she was as safe as she could be, then jumped into the drivers seat and sped off. On the way to the hospital he began praying for maybe the first time in his life that she would live… live and still want him.
