Chapter 2 – Everything Has Changed
I woke up on Sunday and had never been in so much pain and I had to force myself out of bed and to the bathroom and it was only when I was going through my shower I noticed the bruises.
Big, black and blue bruises all over my body and there was no skin that had been left untouched, but I knew I had to act like nothing had happened.
I went out the bathroom and heard banging and my senses immediately made me defend myself but turning the corner I saw it was only my sister Kacey kicking her football against her bedroom door.
'Morning Bro'
She came over and like she did every morning gave me a hug and I usually love them but today I was trying not to scream in pain.
'That film must of being scary last night I heard you screaming'
I smiled and followed her downstairs for breakfast
Everyone was already sat down and Dynasty like always was applying her lip-gloss
She smirked at me 'Enjoyed the film did you?'
I just sat there playing with my cereal; dad was acting like nothing had happened but to be fair I don't even know if he remembers it.
'Why don't you and me go out for some father- son time son and let the girls here have a nice girly day in?
I lifted my head and looked at him, he was smirking and he knew that he had control of me.
'Erm I promised Kacey I would play footie with her'
'You can do that later'
He said it as a way of saying it was final and I had no choice but to agree.
When I got into his car he started driving but I was too scared to ask where he was going.
'I hope last night taught you a lesson'
So he did remember last night, in that moment all love I had felt for him went down the drain especially when he stopped the car and started on me again.
'HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COME WITH ME'
He hit me round the head a few times and then finally let me leave, but from that day on everything could set him off and if only I had known things would get a lot worse and fast.
