I was walking slower than
usual,dragging my feet on the ground. It only took me about twenty
minutes of walking that slow to get to my house. Go figures,I
thought,When I actually want to go home it takes about and hour,but
the time I'm dreading coming home it takes twenty minutes.Just my
luck.I was slowly making my way up the paved path leading up to my
front door,when I heard a commotion coming from inside and a girl
wearing a blanket ran out and down the door and down the path.I was
just opening the door,when dad ran up and opened it. He seemed a
little stunned that I was there for a second,but then he came to his
senses and started yelling real loud. 'WHERE ARE THEY,HUH? WHERE ARE
YOUR MOTHER AND SISTER?' He yelled a lot more than that,but I was
zoned out.I couldn't listen to him,I just couldn't,all I could think
of was getting my bag and getting out of there.
But then he said
something that I just couldn't ignore.What he said was 'You just wait
until I get my hands on that little ---- Lyndsey.I'm going to beat
her senseless,that little -----. The little brat that ruined my
life,I'm going to kill her.' I couldn't take it any more.I just
snapped. Looking back at it,I even suprised myself.I stopped and
stared at my dad for about ten minutes,his words echoing in my
head.He continued yelling but all I could hear were the words in my
head 'Going to beat her senseless,Ruined my life,Going to kill her!'
He looked over at him and just punched him.I tackled him,and I just
kept punching him and kicking him until I could no longer feel my
arms.I looked down at him.His nosewas bleeding,and he had a bruise
forming around his eye,he was clutching his stomach and groaning.
I
ran up the stairs,and walked into my bedroom.I looked around the mess
on my floor until I found my bag.I was running down the stairs,when I
realized that I should go get my pillow,since I was the only boy,I
slept on the floor in our hotel room and it was real hard to fall
asleep without a pillow.
I went back and got my
pillow,and when I was running back down our spiral staircase,I
realized something.Something looked different.My dad,he was no longer
laying on the floor clutching his stomach.I looked around,he didn't
seem to be anywhere close,so I ran stealthily into the living
room.Iwas about to grab the cash off the table when my dad came
running at me with a heater.He didn't realize that hte heater wasn't
loaded,I had found it under his bed a few weeks ago and took out all
th bullets in case of an incident like this.
He was running at
me,when I suddenly remembered the 6-inch switch blade that i had in
my back pocket.I pulled it out and flicked it open,hoping to scare
him.But at this point nothing mattered to him,not his life,not my
life,not anything.He was a lost man,and nothing could save him from
himself.He tackled me,and I took the switch blade and stabbed him in
the leg.He winced and moaned.He fell back onto the coach,I figured
that after I had just stabbed my father I would feel bad or angry or
something but I ddint.I just felt nothing.Then all the memories from
the past six years came flooding into my head and I felt pure
hatred.I felt glad,that I had finally gotten half the revenge I
deserved for all those years of him beating me and hurting me,and
mentally scarring my family.My real family,my Mother and my
Sister.
Everything that happened after that,happened so fast that
thinking about it, it seems just like one big blur.Nothing could have
prepared me for the events that had happened in that one week.
