Before I even opened the door knob, a hand grabbed my arm pulling me inside.

"HELP!" I screamed before I could even think about what I had just said.

Once I was inside, someone let go of my arm making me turn around to see my fake dad.

" Who were you screaming help to?"

" No one I swear."

" Why were you at those boy's house?"

I wasn't sure if I should lie or not.

" Why were you there?!" He demanded.

" They got in a fight so I helped them clean their cuts."

" How many times have I told you never to go over there!"

He then grabbed my arm throwing me into the wall. I slid down the wall trying to get up but getting kicked in the ribs. I layed on the hard floor when I heard the door fly open and the gang was there. Someone picked me up and I saw Pony at my side. They laid me on the couch at Pony's house.

" Did he hit you?" It was Two-Bit.

" I'm okay. Thanks for asking."

Then I heard a sound I have hated for years. The sound of a gunshot. I jumped up from the couch following them out the door.
