What would happen if Steve had a little sister about 14 years old? Would their father beat her too? Or would life be different?
Cassie woke up to the sound of arguing in the house and knew it was between her older brother Steve and her father. She hated when they fought and knew it could get ugly. She tried to block out the screams and cussing, but somehow it got to her.
She walked over to her closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a pink shirt. She thought that maybe she could get a ride to a friends house and spend the day there instead of in the hellhole that she called home. She slipped past the living room door and into the bathroom to brush her teeth and do her hair. She put her hair in a sloppy bun and walked back into her room to get her shoes. She got up and started to go out to the living room when door slammed and heavy angry footsteps stomped her way. Frantically she ran to her window and struggled to get it open, but finally did. Just as she started to scrambled out a hand grabbed her by her hair and drug her back in.
"You stupid bitch!" he said angrily pushing her to the ground, "You were a mistake, you know that, We weren't suppose to have you at all, but you came anyway," he backhanded her good across the face, "You didn't listen then, and you don't listen now,"
She diverted her attention elsewhere trying to block out what he was saying.
"Look at me!" he snarled.
She ignored him.
"I said you look at me!" he roared knocking her so hard that her head hit off the wall and knocked her unconscious for several hours.
I know it was short but please review!
