So today was more terrible then normal, not only did i have to be partners with Justin, the school's Bad Boy, but i was also running late to get home before my father. Great, this is just perfect. Why does this world hate me so much? I ask that question everyday as i walk home from school. Today it is raining, which only is delaying me more. As i turn the corner onto my street a voice catches my attention. I quickly whip my head around and come face to face with Maddie James. Maddie is the head cheerleader at our school, so she is your typical cliche girl, Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect body that every girl would kill for, all the boys fall for her.

"Hey Freak!" she says standing under her umbrella with a smirk. I hold my books to my chest and look down and she laughs. She has been bullying me since the fifth grade, and it only gets worse as we entered high school four years ago.

"Well, since you refuse to talk," she says shoving her book at me, "Here, it needs to be done by tomorrow so don't forget about it, or else," she threatens as she walks away.

I shake my head at her retreating figure and keep walking. One of these days i might actually grow a back bone and stand up to the girl, but today wasn't going to be that day. I had more important things to worry about, like the fact my dad's car is in the driveway already. He is early, and i am late.

I quickly run up the driveway and into the house, closing the door softly so i can go unnoticed. I got my shoes off and made it up to my room. So far so good, right? I set my bags and books down just as my bedroom door opened. I quickly spun and looked at my father, who was clearly drunk already. He walked in and looked around for a few minutes. I watched his every move very carefully. 

He smiles, "You're late young lady," he says flipping through my math book before looking at me with his killer eyes making me shake in my place.

"I..I'm sorry dad. I had to stay behind and do some work for the teacher, i swear," i say freaking out as he stepped closer to me and just looked down at me for a few seconds before slapping me hard across the face making me stumble backwards.

"If i give you a time to be home, you better follow those orders," he says grabbing my hair and making me look at him, "Do i make myself clear?" he snaps at me.

I hold back a cry of pain, "Yes sir," i whisper as he throws me to the ground making me slide across the floor. I hit my back on the dresser and just lay there for a while until i know he is leaving. 

I hear my room door slam shut and i slowly get up. Great, this is going to be a long night i can already tell. Might as well get started on that double homework, right? I grabbed my book and did the work, only to copy it down again for Maddie's homework as well. I then moved onto my History lesson. By the time i was finished it was around 11pm and i was beyond tired. I closed my books and stacked them on my desk in a neat pile. My room was super clean, only because i had to keep it that way or my dad would freak out.

Half way through the night i woke up to the front door slamming, which means my dad just got back from the bar. I pulled the blanket closer to me as i listen to his footsteps coming up the stairs. Please just let him forget about me tonight, just this one time, i think to myself. But of course, my prayers never are answered because he walks in. I can tell he is totally wasted and tonight might be bad.

"You worthless excuse of a daughter," he shouts at me as he pulls me out of the bed by my arm and drags me intot he hall. I fight his hold and regret it right away when he punches me. "You are just like your mother, no good... You are a disappointment," he shouts hitting me over and over again.

I fall to the ground hoping that would be his cue to stop like it normally is, but tonight he kept going. He kicked me over and over again until i couldn't breath. He bend down closer to me and smiled, "Nobody want's you here Jessica. Nobody will EVER love someone broken like you," he says getting up and walking to his room.

A single tear slowly slides down my cheek as i lay there on the hard wood floor in the hallway. I tried over and over again to get up, but the pain was to bad and i just stayed there. I laid there replaying the words he had just spoken, he is right, no one could ever love someone like me. I let another tear fall and i slowly drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be the worst day ever.
