A bird chirped and beth ran out of the cemetary and straight to Jane's house. She ran through the door kicked off her shoes and straight into Jane's bedroom, wehre to no surprise of Beth's she found her one and only bestfriend. She gave her a big hug and said "I missed you!"
They talked for what seemed like forever just acting like kids again. They then went to sleep after gabbing more, and when Beth woke up she realised something; she had slept without crying in her sleep. that was the first time she can remeber being able to wake up without sore eyes or a puffy nose or wet pillow. She felt so refreshed, it was a great feeling.
She walked down stairs and met Jane's mom and thanked her and headed out the door. She walked home and began to make breakfast for her dad.
He loved becan and eggs, so she put them in the pan. She made some coffee, and brought it out to him where he was passed out in the living room.
He looked at her and his face turned bright red, all of a sudden she realised what a mistake this was.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" He barked at her
"I.. I'm sorry dad, I thought you'd like some coffee before your breakfast." Beth replied uneasily.
" You worthless peice of shit. I was sleeping couldn't you see that you blind bat." Beth's dad screamed at her and he got up; Beth jsut winced and reliquished any happy feelings she'd had moments earlier.
She fell up the stairs into her room and sobbed on the bed. Pain shot through her arm and a bruise was appearing on her stomache. Hot tears stung her eyes as she tried to gain control of her emotions.
"Why me? I didn't mean to bother him, I was only trying to help" she thought to herself. Just then BRING. "Bethany answer the god-damn telephone you lazy whore!" Demanded her father, now eating the eggs and bacon.
"Hello" Beth stuttered trying to sound normal.
"Hey, it's Corey. Beth, Hunny. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm fine. I can't talk right now... Can I call you back in about an hour?"
"Umm, sure. Thats fine but please I'm here for you to talk to. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you."
"Thanks, Love you."
"Love you too."
Click. Beth knew she was yet again alone. What she couldn't understand is why she didn't just tell Corey everything. She wanted to, she wanted someone to know. She needed help, but she didn't know how. Her father had no right to treat her like that, but deep down in her heart Beth couldn't get over the feeling it was her fault. If only she was better, skinnier, prittier, smarter... If only she was more... Then maybe her dad would love her.
