Bittersweet
Prologue
It was an oddly chilly summer evening in Surrey, England (a/n-we dunno where Surrey is so bear with us). Outside of a dimly lit town home a man staggered drunkenly through the front door. Upstairs, a young girl by the name of Lily Evans sat quietly on her bed.waiting.
"LILY! Where are you?" The man growled.
The pretty redheaded girl cowered and shrank under the shelter of her duvet. She shook as she heard the resounding sound of large feet tromping up the stairs. Moments later a door creaked open, only it wasn't her door, but Petunia's.
"I-I'm not Lily." "Stop lying. I told you not to lie..."
WACK! A scream bounded through the house as Petunia yelped in pain. Lily grabbed the nearest pillow and pulled it firmly over her head. Her knuckles turned white as she heard the familiar tromping feet of her father nearing her doorway.
"LILY!" the slurred voice called.
Lily dropped the pillow and resided in her nook underneath her covers. She hoped and prayed her father would be too drunk to see her. She peeked from underneath the covers and watched the doorknob slowly turning. But before the door had a chance to swing open Lily heard a choked voice cry, "NO!"
"Petunia." Lily whispered.
Lily bit her bottom lip, drawing blood in the process. She choked back sobs. She continued to peek from beneath the protection of her duvet. She hadn't heard anything in a few minutes and gained hope that Petunia had talked him out of what ever he was planning. Her hope was shattered by the sound of her sister falling at her father's feet.
"No!" Lily sobbed, "No, no, NO!" Lily jumped out of bed and threw open her door. She was furious. She looked at her father, loathing the mocking grin he wore on his face.
"Damn that stupid bitch," he said, staring at the motionless body of Petunia.
"That. Stupid. Bitch. Is. My. SISTER." Lily said, venom spitting off her tongue.
She simply stared at her father, eyes squinted, but her look of pure hatred didn't falter her father. As she glared at him, he pulled back his arm; fist clenched tightly, and punched Lily's delicate jaw. She, like her sister, fell to the ground. However, unlike her sister she wasn't rescued and had to suffer numerable cowardly kicks in the side. But as her father started off for another kick at his daughter, CRASH BANG BOOM
"Shit!" was yelled as Lily's father suddenly plummeted down the stairs. Lily carefully pulled her self off the ground. She looked down the hallway to where her father had fallen. Her attention was grabbed by the moaning of her sister to her left. She quickly abandoned watching the stairs and ran to her sister's side. Petunia looked up at her younger sister. The left side of Lily's face was badly bruised and her nose and lip were bleeding horribly. She also noticed the numerous bruises showing through her ripped nightgown.
"Oh Lily!" "No, it's-it's nothing." Lily mumbled. Suddenly noticing the absence of her father Petunia perked up and demanded in a panicked tone, "Where is he?" "He...fell down the stairs." "From here?" "I-I guess so." Lily really had no clue how her father had suddenly ended up on the bottom of the stairs down the hallway, but she was positive it'd happened.
"Well...let's get you cleaned up Lils." Petunia said, giving Lily a watery smile. She noticed the look of anguish on her sister's face and said, "Don't worry. He doesn't mean it." "I know...."
