Ahhh I am so pleased that people are reading my fanfic and I am so sorry for making you all wait so long, I'll try to write every Saturday from now on but I have my GCSE's to study for so I'm pretty busy. So here's the story thanks for being patient. P.S get ready for your emotion Sadness to become your dominant emotion.
Dillistra's p.o.v
I can't exactly remember where he hit me or how but I can tell you it's like being in a car crash. The adrenalin, and the force of the hits is like flying through the air… you feel like you can't control your body, and sometimes it's even like you're looking down on your own body, and with each fresh strike that comes makes you wish you were numb... so you couldn't feel it. The rush of adrenalin can make you feel a little bit aware of your body. Each punch or kick, you can just the little cells in your body burst or bruise never to be the same again. You can hear and feel your heart beating in your ears, and your vision becomes weird, you can see his face as though your seeing it through one of those tubes that you look through to see the stars in the sky.
Someone once told me that all good people went to the stars and watched down on you. I always used to wonder if my mum was up their looking down upon me, but then I thought how could someone watch their child be beaten up and just frown to the side. So I think that my mum hasn't found me yet, and when she does, she'll help me find a good home with a mum and dad and maybe even some siblings, but for now I just have to take everything I get.
Jack always says you get used to pain. I don't think I'll ever be able to get used to this pain. The first slap sends all my self-control flying back into the depth of my head. I hold my cheek as a thin trickle of blood runs down my face from his nails. I whimper and crumple to the floor as a well-aimed kick hits my lower abdomen. I curl up into a ball as the torcher continues. This only seems to excite him even more. He laughs and points at me with his evil smile as I look up at him, "Please," I manage to say in a raspy voice, "…No more." Every blow sends a sharp searing jolt of my pain through my body. Then suddenly, the bit I yearn for arrives: the blackness covers my eyes and calls me to finally I give in to the call of sleep.
Piper's P.O.V
I rode down the road to Dillistra's house taking my time since I still had time to get to school and from Dillistra's house to school was like a twenty-minute walk so there was plenty of time left.
In about seven minutes I was at her doorstep and I was about to knock when the door flew open to reveal a skinny tall boy who looked like he had just woken up. He had black messed up hair and I face that said: what do you want?
"Hey is Dillistra here?" I asked.
"If you don't know if she's here don't go knocking on peoples doors asking, you could get in some real trouble around here." He didn't say it in any way that could be considered like a fret, he spoke like he was giving me a much-needed piece of advise.
"Okay… thanks for the advise but I need Dillistra to come with me now for school." I replied. He lifted one finger to ask me to wait a minute and then closed the door. After a while Dillistra came to the door dressed in some jogging bottoms which were a size to big for her and a dark blue top which had worn out letters on it which you could only just make out. She also had a big plaster on the corner of her forehead.
"I'm ready to go now." Dillistra said in a small voice, while looking down at her feet.
"What happened to your forehead?" I asked bending down to take a look at it.
"My little sister was seeing how many spins she could do in a minute and hit me in the face." Dillistra said in one go, she seemed to be in a lot of pain but she just strived forward leaving me at her front door. 'Okay' I thought and went to catch up with her.
All of a sudden there was a honk behind us and I turned to see who it was… and you couldn't guess whom it was…
"Piper!" Thalia shouted waving her hand out of the cars window, and Jason was sitting at the drivers seat, looking like he was trying to sink into the driver seat. "Hey Piper want a lift."
"No I'm okay we'll walk." I said. Thalia suddenly seemed to notice Dillistra (who was behind me trying to block herself from view of them).
"Who's this?" Thalia asked giving Dillistra a smile.
"This is Dillistra, I'm walking her to and from school for a while.' I replied but didn't say anything about her being a foster kid (It wasn't anyone's business).
"Well why don't you two just hop in since were all going the same way?" Thalia argued. She was not going to take a no for an answer so I just gave in, I could have sworn I heard a sigh of relief but I wasn't sure whom from so I just ignored it.
Thalia continued talking to me and a little to Dillistra, but Dillistra only gave yes and no's. After a while we entered a silence and I starred out of the window. Normally I would be the one supplying all the questions but for some reason my mind was just not working properly and I kept quiet.
The silence continued until Jason put on some music. I hadn't heard it before but it sounded pretty dam good.
AARON BURR:
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished, in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
JOHN LAURENS:
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by workin' a lot harder
By bein' a lot smarter
By bein' a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
THOMAS JEFFERSON:
And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted
Away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
JAMES MADISON:
Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip, drippin' down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
BURR:
Well the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man!"
Took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came, and
The world's gonna know your name! What's your name, man?"
ALEXANDER HAMILTON:
Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait
ELIZA HAMILTON:
When he was ten, his father split, full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother, bed-ridden
Half-dead, sittin' in their own sick
The scent thick
COMPANY:
And Alex got better but his mother went quick
GEORGE WASHINGTON and (COMPANY):
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride, somethin' new inside
A voice saying "(Alex) you gotta fend for yourself"
He started retreatin' and readin' every treatise on the shelf
BURR and (COMPANY):
There would've been nothin' left to do
For someone less astute
He would've been dead or destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and other things he can't afford
(Scammin') for every book he can get his hands on
(Plannin') for the future, see him now as he stands on (oooh)
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man
COMPANY and (HAMILTON):
In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In New York you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In New York you can be a new man
WOMEN:
In New York
MEN:
New York
HAMILTON:
Just you wait
COMPANY and (COMPANY):
Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
We are waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
When America sings for you
Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh
BURR and (COMPANY):
The ship is in the harbor now, see if you can spot him
(Just you wait)
Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom
(Just you wait)
His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him
MULLIGAN/MADISON AND LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON:
We fought with him
LAURENS/PHILLIP:
Me? I died for him
WASHINGTON:
Me? I trusted him
ANGELICA SCHUYLER, ELIZA, MARIA REYNOLDS:
Me? I loved him
BURR:
And me? I'm the damn fool that shot him
COMPANY:
There's a million things I haven't done
But just you wait
BURR:
What's your name, man?
HAMILTON & COMPANY:
Alexander Hamilton!
By the time the song was over Dillistra was leaning back in her seat looking at the stereo mesmerized by the music and paying no attention to anything else. A few more songs played until we arrived at school and I thanked Jason and Thalia for the ride and Thalia, Jason, Dillistra and I went our separate ways.
