Chapter 4 Darkness

A/N: Trigger warning. I won't advise you to read if you're not mentally comfortable with abuse scenes. Good luck

I stood in front of the highschool forcing myself to smile sweetly at Luciana who is still trying to force me to get in her car. I casually ran my hand on it "this looks pretty expensive".

She giggles "I like to travel in style" It was a Rolls Royce sweptail worth about 13 millon dollars "This is just a little gift my brother and boyfriend adore me a lot so I extort them a little"

I stared at her, she called this a little! This was pure daylight robbery. 'Just how rich are you'. I asked underneath my breath not sure that she could hear me

"Come on! I'll drop you off" she slid into the driver's seat.

"Thanks for the offer but I bet my father is already on his way to pick me and I could easily take the bus. You have done a lot for me today". I was getting worried, the more I tried to convince her, the more difficult she gets. At this point, I'm getting punishments tonight because I'm going to be so late.

"Oh stop being so modest and get in".

Okay, here I go. I got in and she was very happy "I would need you to direct me to your house".

I nodded as I began directing her, I was feeling very self conscious and ashamed, this was the first time I'm making a real friend, how would she feel if she saw where I lived, compared to her who was living a life of a princess. My house was shabby and unfit to stay in for a long time...it had depreciated in worth and value. She can't see that or she might feel disgusted.

So i gave her directions to a eye catching estate before mine. "I'll be getting down here Lucy".

She pulled to a stop at my request "wow, how'd you guess my nickname".

I shrugged "it suits you" As I got down "Thanks for the ride, I really appreciate it".

I waved at her as she drove away and began walking to my house. As I opened the door, a bottle was being tossed in my face, instinctively I ducked and flinched as I heard it shatter

"Whore! Who were you tangling with" I saw his face, he was furious and he was drunk. He stomped over and grabbed me by my hair before tossing me on the ground "How long will it take you to get back from that hell godforsaken school of yours. You're a slut, just like your mother"

Hell! That stung and I felt tears in my eyes, not from the pains I was feeling but from the words he was saying about my mother. He was drunk but that didn't change anything.

He kicked my ribs and I felt a few cracks followed by a more intense pain, darkness dotted my view and I felt like drowning in it as my only solace, a way to finally end my suffering. He was taking of his belt, no, I pulled my upper body up and tried to excape, I'm so pathetic.

As he swung the belt at me, the heavy metal buckle hitting my leg, numbing it instantly, I screamed, I wanted the pain to stop.

"Bitch, I pay your fees but you sleep around with guys, by the time I'm done teaching you a lesson, you'll be able to keep those your wimpy legs closed for good. Your mother being the same slut as you, she didn't teach you good morals. I can only instill better once at you at this point" He stuck with the belt a few more times before he began to punch me...he punched my face. That would leave a bruise for a very long time.

At this point, I was weak, helpless, I wanted death, I craved it. Out of the corner of one of my swollen eye, I noticed him grabbing a knife, in an instant the knife was lodged in my left thigh. I felt the darkness overwhelming me and I embraced it.

I felt peace.
