Chapter 1.
(Sam P.O.V.)
I woke up with my body screaming in agony. It happened again last night. He beat me unconscious. All remember was the way his face looked as he inflicted every punch, kick, and whip. Then finally, when he used the knives and broken glass to cut my skin open. I could feel every bruise and cut on my skin with the slightest movement made. I looked down at my skin, I could see all of the marks on my skin because I was only in my bra and underwear.
I remember after the first hour of being beaten I zoned out. I felt numb. I had gotten so used to this in the last fourteen years of it happening that nothing he did to me anymore had surprised me.
Looking at my surroundings, I noticed that the sun was starting to appear behind the tress of the forest that surround my house. I looked at the clock on the wall and it said that the time was 6:30am. Today was my first day back of my last year in high school.
I listened closely to see if the beast was asleep or not. When I heard his snores, I made my way up the stairs and to my room and through to the bathroom to see what I could do to cover the marks and clean and bandage the cuts. I noticed my face in the mirror and noticed that there was no mark there that I would have to cover up so no one would know what happened behind closed doors.
After I had finished in the bathroom, I selected my outfit for the day which consisted of a pair of blue skinny jeans, a blank top and my black hoodie. I collect my belongings for school and walked quietly out my room, down the stairs and out the door. I didn’t bother collect food because I knew that I would be up to eating anyway. And so I started on my 20 minute walk to hell #2, kidding I mean school.
As I walked through the doors of the building, I immediately felt people’s eyes on me. I tried to blend in but it was no use, I was the nerd and they were the populars. They made my life living hell here as I was bullied for being too ugly, always in baggy clothes and that I should kill myself so no one would have to put up with me anymore as I was just a waste of space.
