This is what Keely's life is like when she moves to New Jersey with her father.
Keely's life is defiantly no life anyone would want. To the eye Keely's father is like the picture perfect dad, getting you things you don't even ask for, being there when you need him, and just everything you can picture, but behind closed doors, things are different, they sometimes can get real ugly.
One night Keely was sitting on the living room couch watching some TV, and then her father came home drunker then she had ever seen him, "Keely what do you think you are doing?" asked her father.
"I-I am just watching some TV" Keely said stuttering, "I thought you wouldn't mind".
"Oh I mind alright, now stand up" ordered her father, "This is for not obeying my rules, you live in my house, you live by my rules". All of a sudden he took the back of his hand slapped her across her face.
"I-I'm sorry" Keely said trying not to cry.
"Now, go to your room" yelled her father. When she got to her room she called Phil right away. His mother picked up and said he went to go look for her mom; She felt as though she was trapped in the house was no escape.
Around 20 minutes later she tried to reach Phil again at her moms new phone number, and he was there. "Phil, I am so scared here, please come and get me, pl-!" Keely said without even telling him what was wrong or why she wanted to come home.
"Keely, what's wrong? Why is it you want to come home? Phil said cutting her off.
"M-my dad is drunk, and he slapped me across the face, just because I was watching TV, when he got home, and it's not the only time he has abused me, the other day he hit me so hard, I-I-I bled" after that Keely burst into tears. "And-and…."
"Keely, Keely, calm down, everything will be ok, just stay there, I will come as soon as I can".
