They were arguing, again. I never understood why Mum always felt determined to have the last word. They're arguing because of you, I wanted to hide, crawl under my bedsheets and never return. A loud slam of their bedroom door told me it was finished, the panic is over. Well, at least I thought it was until my door began to open, the loud creak filling the house. It was Dad. He didn't say anything, I blinked and he was already at the side of my bed, we locked eyes not saying anything. What was he gonna do? grab my phone? at the thought of that I gripped it tighter, my sweaty fingers going pale. He moved his hand over to the neck of my pajamas and dragged me out of the place I thought to be the safest. My blanket still on me but slowly sliding away almost as if leaving a trail behind me. As he opened the door to the kitchen a voice escaped me that I didn't even realize to be my own,
'STOP'
He ignored me and finally let go, placing me by the door. It felt weird to stand up, almost as though I had chicken feet.
'LEAVE, JUST FUCKING LEAVE, WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE'
His face didn't match the one I once knew, it was as if a demon had possessed him. I wanted to scream, yell, anything but instead I just stood there tears making my eyes go blurry as I felt them gather in my eyes. I attempted to walk away but he decided he was going to try and slap my leg first, something took over me and I dodged it. That just made him worse, he picked me up and threw me on the floor as if I was just something being put in the bin. He walked away and left me there. I lifted my head up and I felt as if i'd been on one of the worst rollercoasters of my life. My dog came over and licked me, almost as if he was trying to help or maybe it was just because he liked the taste of my tears, either way I appreciated it. My mum was around the corner and didn't even ask if I was okay, just told me to go to my room. She really did care a lot, didn't she?I told my friend about it the next day, and they said to report it but there was something in me screaming louder than my dad ever did, telling me not to. I was becoming the person I never once understood, it won't happen again.
