special when you do.
Haley rushes home to try and get there in time, but alas its not to be. She can hear the yelling from the inside. "He" was drunk again and sounded like "he" was in a rage. Hurrying inside Haley's gonna try and put herself in the way of his anger hoping to distract him from her other siblings. The Protector never the Protected, always what she is. I can handle the pain and the insults, Haley thought, but HE will never get a chance to do what he has done to me to my innocent brother and sisters.
Running up the steps into her house she opens the door. She flinches, glass shattered right next to her head, the pieces go flying everywhere. Feeling something trickling down her cheek, she puts her hand up and wipes it away. Looking at the blood smeared on her hand her temper flared. That was mom's favorite crystal vase!!! It was grandmas before that and Great grandmas before that. It was ages old and he just smashed it like it didn't matter. Not thinking that that is what he could do to her, Haley stormed through the house into the kitchen. "He" was standing in the middle of the kitchen waving a knife at her siblings. Haley's temper went up another notch.
"Get away from them" She growled. "He" turned towards her
"Is that any way to greet you father" He said sweetly "I deserve more respect from you brat, especially from you slut!!! Late again I see. Bet I can guess where you were, with that bastard son Lucas. Huh? Am I right? Has he knocked you up yet?" Laughing gleefully sneering at her.*SLAP The force of the blow stunned him. Then he turned purple with rage.
"BITCH!! Your gonna pay for that!" He charged her and stuck her one in the stomach "how'd you like that?"
Sucking in a deep, tears came to her eyes from the pain but she wouldn't let him see that. "Hey Danielle" she said to the oldest of her siblings "get them out of here for me k?" Her eyes said they didn't need to see this. Her sister understood quickly and quietly ushered them out.
"OH, you don't want them to hear the truth about you huh? The truth is that you're a slut and a skank and you need to be punished for it?" he grinned and did and upper cut to her jaw. Followed by a punch in the eye, nose and ribs.
By then Haley was gasping on the ground from pain. Blood oozing from her lip and nose. Dragging her up by her hair her so-called father screamed in her face and then kneed her in the gut.
"I see you like it rough" he whispered in her ear. Grabbing her by the elbow, he pushed her on the table and started roughly groping her. Feeling his ******** grow she closed her eyes tightly to keep the tears of shame of knowing that this was her father touching her like this. Haley's eyes popped open when she heard the zipper.
"I bet this is how your lover boy Lucas touches you" he growled in her ear. Her anger sparked through the pain and she shoved him and kneed him in the crotch. Bending over howling in pain, her father cursed in pain never letting go of her arm. His grip tightened with his pain. She winced but said coolly
"If you want to keep your privates intact don't touch me again today or speak to me in such a repulsive way." She growled at him. He twisted her arm one last time then let go. Turning to go upstairs she thought of one more thing "Oh, and don't even think about even looking at my siblings in a wrong way, you can treat me like this but don't ever do it in front of them or to them. I'll kill you in your sleep so help me god I will if I ever find out that you have it will be the last thing you'll ever do."
With every last ounce of fight and energy drained from her body, she walked on unstable legs up the stairs to her bedroom. Closing the doors quietly she locked all the locks on it and pitched into Blackness *blacked out in the middle of the floor, not even making it to the bed.
~Many hours later~
With a groan, Haley rolled over on the floor. Opening her eyes she didn't know where she was right away, her room spinning all over the place, then everything came slamming back in place. The force of what happened hit her and tore a sob from her and she couldn't stop the tears that would be ignored no more. It was late the sun had gone down long ago. Looking at the clock it blinked 11:30. Rising from the floor she shuffled to the bathroom connected to her room. When she looked in the mirror she decided she was going to throw up and did just that. After flushing the toilet she looked at herself closely in the mirror, her lip and eye were puffy. Dried blood was all over her face, on her lip, corner of her eye, there was still blood oozing from the cuts the crystal made. She felt like one big bruise, achey and sore all over. Her eye and jaw was a deep purple with a little hint of some other color. Lifting up her shirt was an effort. She figured her ribs were bruised and from the way they looked on the outside she was lucky they weren't broken. Bruises covered her whole back and side with a few spots of color on her stomach. But that wasn't what hurt the most, it was the shame of knowing that she deserved what she got. It was her fault she, aggravated him and egged him on. She knew better. Damn she knew better. She felt gross all over and dirty. She could still feel his hands on her, it made her shiver with disgust. Finishing undressing wasn't an easy chore. Her bra was the hardest with all the bruises on her ribs and back. Finally she was free and climbed into the tube. A good long soak is what she needed with lots of bubbles so she didn't have to look at her punishment of her body. Slowly the bath was filled with steaming water and the room filled with steam from the water. Her eyelids got heavier and heavier and she soon fell asleep not a deep one but a restless one.
Waking up because she couldn't breath, Haley realized she was underwater. Gasping and choking in air she pulled herself out of the tub of now cold water. She dried off and wrapped herself in a towel. One of the crappier ones, she didn't want to get blood one the nice ones. Standing there staring at the calm water in the tub she realized how easy it would have been to just let go, shaking herself out of that train thought, she couldn't afford doing that not with her brother and sisters to keep safe. She would not be broken by "Him" she thought with disgust. Her survival instincts were just to strong, they wouldn't let her. Shivering now with cold she shuffled into her bedroom, turning her head when she passed the mirror to avoid looking at herself. She slowly and painfully got dressed into pajamas and Turned out the lights. Very carefully, she sat down by the window and looked out into the darkness. Dark behind her and dark in front of her, just like her future she thought. Shaking her head, she climbed out of the window seat and crawled into bed. Pulling the blankets up to her chin to get rid of not only the chill in the room but hopefully inside of her too. She fell asleep thankfully with not thoughts or dreams at all.
Getting up with a long groan she went into the bathroom to throw up again because of the dizziness and her stomach was still rejecting being socked by one hard fist. After washing out her mouth she took one look in the mirror and knew there was no way she could go to school. The bruises were hideous and grotesque; they weren't possible to cover with makeup. Better to stay home and tidy everything up so "He" wouldn't go into a fit again. Unlocking the door, she went down the stairs very carefully, trying to avoid as much pain as possible. Nobody would be home, they all left before she got up, after not setting her clock last night this is the latest she had slept in for a while. Moving around the house slowly, she cleaned up the left over dishes from breakfast. One wrong move and pain would shoot through her body so fast it would take her breath away. Being very careful she began the long grueling process of cleaning the big house by herself.
~same time different place~
Where was she, Lucas thought, He hadn't meant to lose his temper like that. Look what it cost him, his best friend, the one who stood by him through everything. Something was up, Hales had never pushed him so far away from her at one time, all at once. It was like she didn't care about him anymore or worse she didn't want him to care for her. It was getting all confusing in his head he didn't know which was up or down with her. And what was really weird was that she hadn't showed up at school today, it was like her to avoid him when she's mad but not miss school over it. Something big was going on with his best friend and he needed to know what it was. Slamming his locker closed her decided since it was third period, his free period he would go see if she was home and if her could talk to her.
Walking down the street to Haley's house Lucas had his whole speech planned, out from her responses and his. He stopped right at the end of her sidewalk in front of her house and just stood there. His whole plan just flew out his the door. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea, she might be still really pissed at him, and he couldn't handle it if she meant all those word she had said to him. Building up his courage, he marched up the sidewalk and jumped up the steps to her door. Waiting a couple seconds to gather himself he pounded on the door.
~ just inside the door~
Haley jumped and the sound of pounding on the door. Trying to figure out who it was, she went through the list of whom she was to call so they wouldn't show up at the house. There was school, which she had to fake that she was one of her Guardians to call herself in sick, then there was Karen to tell her she wouldn't be into work to day because she had a "bad cold". Nobody else she could think of. The pounding came again, she flinched before the person had come she had been picking up the broken pieces of the crystal vase, which had been left there for no apparent reason. Many decorated Scooby-Doo band-aids covered her fingers and palm. She quickly grabbed her sweatshirt hanging on the chair next to her to cover the bruises on her arm where "he had roughly grabbed her. They were also deep purple and you could see where his hands/fingers had been. She peeked out of the side window and quickly backed away from the door. The one person who shouldn't have been there was, LUCAS!
"Damn, Damn, Damn" Haley whispered. The pounding came again there was no way in hell she was going to answer the door like this. Backing into the kitchen to stay out of sight, she leaned against the pantry door. Slowly sinking to the ground her heard Lucas growl out a couple swear words the leave. What a relief!! Haley thought to herself. He will never find out about this. She swore to herself.
~Outside by his car~
Lucas stood at the end of the sidewalk just staring at Haley's house. Maybe she wasn't there, maybe she meant those words, the thought of that was just too painful. Maybe she's in trouble or maybe she's hiding something either way he was going to figure it out. She couldn't hide forever. I'll talk to her tomorrow, he thought. With that, he left her inside her house leaning against the pantry door and swearing he wouldn't find out. Scare of how long she could hide or keep him at arms length. They had been through too much to not know when something was definitely wrong.
He was late for class again but what else was new. It wouldn't matter for only one day. He had more important things to worry about, like his best friend from since forever. She couldn't keep avoiding him forever. When she came back, he would be waiting and would get to the bottom of whatever it was. Something was wrong and he had his need to protect her from whatever it is. This feeling he never had so strongly before. Sure, he felt he had to protect others from bad. But this was different, extremely different feeling and he wasn't sure if he likes it or not. Shaking it off as nerves for the upcoming test in 5th period he went to class not have any clue that it was so much more serious than that.
~Back at Haley's house~
Haley was still leaning against the pantry door. Deep in thought of how she was going to handle all that was going on. How much longer she could hide these bruises and keep "Him" at bay. Not much longer, she knew soon "he" would take the abuse to the next level and she didn't know how she would cope with it.
A/N I probably repeated myself more than once sorry I was getting tired. Your probably more confused than before sorry again. Hope you enjoyed. Still more to come. Review plz.
