The first hit was the worst.
It started off as words. But words hurt more than one thousand knives piercing through your heart. And then it got physical. I didn't fight at first. But then as I grew older, I grew wiser. I hoped that someone would hear my screams during the nights he would stumble into the door and beat me until I was broken and bruised.
But then, I found my escape.
At first I found a group of kids in my school, called the "wrong group" but my parents couldn't care less.
So, I started smoking.
One night, my dad came home while I was smoking, and he beat me until the sun rose. Someone must've heard the screams, and called for help, because before I knew it I was seeing spots and on the floor, my dad struggling to continue to hurt me.
The police searched the house, finding my secret stash of cigarettes and vaporizers.
They sent me to live with my mother and my stepfather.
But that's where they went wrong.
