He Saved Me

Chapter 1

Kara's POV
(Btw that's Kara in the pic)
I thought my life was normal... For the most part. I have a best friend, Matthew, and straight A's just like my parents have always wanted. My name is Kara and I'm 16, a Junior at Cerritos High. I have a twin brother Kyle. My mom died in a car accident when Kyle and I were 5. Our father, Dexter, abuses us and has ever since my mom died. Kyle and I share a room so that we are constantly together. I don't blame Dexter he just has a drinking problem. I play soccer and I'm the best on the team but Dexter never comes to watch, it's only ever Matthew and Kyle.
It's Saturday morning and I'm getting ready for the first soccer game of the season. Kyle and I were talking when we hear Dexter banging on our door to let us in. Kyle ran to me and dragged me to the corner of the room standing over me. I kept thinking "This can't be happening not now if they see at the game they will wonder. Coach won't put me in." I was broken out of my thoughts when Dexter got the door open, threw Kyle to the side, and grabbed me. I could smell the alcohol. He grabs my hair as pulls me out of the room. He threw me on top of the glass coffee table, which broke on impact, and locked the door so Kyle couldn't get out.

Dexter picked me up and kept slapping me, which sent a stinging sensation to my face. After slapping me he threw me to the floor. He kicked my stomach and I couldn't breath, I could already tell this was gonna bruise. " GET UP YOU SLUT IM NOT DONE" he screamed at me. I got up as fast as I could. He threw multiple punches to my face and I knew he was waiting for a reaction that I wouldn't give to him. Next thing you know he passed out and fell on top of me, tackling me to the floor.

Kyle threw the door open and ran over to me. "Oh my gosh are you okay sis?" He asked worriedly.

"Fine" I said emotionless.

I looked at the clock and saw it was 10:30 AM. "The game starts on 30 minutes!! We're gonna be late!" I screamed jumping up. I ran out of the door. I am so lucky the school is close. I ran to the soccer field and went to coach breathless, " I'm so sorry I'm late"

She looked at me for a second and noticed the bruises but didn't say anything. "It's fine Kara just go warm up and practice with the team. Get ready for a tough game." She said. I laughed a little and ran over to the team and started stretching. I looked around and found a worried Matthew. He mouthed " are you okay?" I nodded yes but I could tell he didn't believe me. I focused on the game.

The game was about to start so I called out the cheer due to the fact that I'm team captain. "WHO ARE WE" I screamed.

"WAR EAGLES!!" They shouted back.

"WHO ARE WE?!!" I screamed even louder.

"WAR EAGLES!!" They said louder. We broke out into our team chant, or as I called it our war cry, "WAR, WAR, WAR, WAR!!!" We shouted then broke the circle and ran to our positions on the field.
***skipping to the end of the game still Kara's POV***

" Good game ladies" I yelled. We had won the game 9-3. I scored a double hat trick, 6 points, and I was proud. After I put on my sandals and put my cleats in my bag I was looking for any sign of Kyle. I saw him with some girl and laughed to myself. Then I was pulled away by a worried looking Matthew.
"Kara, seriously what happened?" He said worriedly. So I told him the whole story. And I mean ALL of it. I told him about my dad and how I felt about him. After I told him I saw a blank looking Matthew. I started walking away when all of a sudden Matt grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace.
" I have liked you ever since we first met in kindergarten." He said and kissed me. He put his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck playing with his hair. When I kissed him it felt like electric and I could've sworn I saw sparks flying. We were the only two people in this world that mattered at that moment, our moment, here and now.
He pulled away breathless and looked at me. We had our foreheads together and he was staring deeply into my eyes as if he was swimming in them.
" God I've been waiting to do that for the longest time." He said.
