He nods making his curls bounce. He went back into his room and locked the door and I did the same. I changed from my clothes and I decided to not even put my clothes into the basket so I tossed them on the ground and put on my shorts and top. I threw myself on the bed, face smushed into my soft pillow. I still couldn't wrap my head around everything. How could someone I care about dearly be somehow involved with such an asshole, wanna be player, dick wad like Tyler? That was one of the questions that floated around my mind. I screamed in my pillow from frustration. After a couple of minutes I finally fell asleep.

**************

I woke up 3 hours later. I checked the alarm and it read 5:30am. I woke up from a nightmare. It started with a younger version of Nathan and Tyler. My head made a unknown face of a girl, but subconsciously I knew it was Hailey, Tyler's sister and someone Nathan cared about as a sister. In the dream I saw the younger version of Nathan talking to the girl. The dream or should I say nightmare moved to another scene. It was Nathan talking to Tyler, it seemed like Nathan joining Tyler's gang. Lastly it was like I was outside and what I saw, was what made the dream turn into a nightmare. Tyler had a gun to Nathan's head. He said something to Nathan, but I didn't catch what he said. Finally Tyler pulled the trigger making Nathan fall to the ground. I saw the exact moment the life left his eyes and that's when I shot out of bed. I figured I wouldn't be able to sleep again so I took a shower, got dressed in a pair of black ripped skinny jeans, and a t-shirt that said 'Fuck with me, I'll fuck with you'. 

I walked down the stairs and unfortunately for me, my dad or should I say, sperm donor, was in the kitchen drinking coffee, but a bottle of tequila was on the counter, telling me he poured a lot of that in his coffee. "What the fuck are you doing up so early?" he asks me so grumpily. "Is that the sound of caring I detect in your voice? I wouldn't know, you never really gave a shit about me or Eli." I said sarcastically. I know I shouldn't have done that, especially if he was drinking, but my mouth just couldn't help it. "Better watch your mouth bitch." he growled. "Awww is daddy dearest getting mad because he regrets not pulling out fast enough?" I coo. He stood up from his stool and the next thing I feel is his big hand smack almost half my face, making my neck snap to the side. I inhaled deeply, holding back the tears from the pain. "Got any smart ass comments now?" He sneered. 

"You. Slap. Like. A. Bitch." I spat. I pushed it there. He punched me so hard in the jaw I lost my footing and fell to the ground. One tear escaped my eye, but I made sure he didn't see that. I cupped my jaw and looked up at him with a smirk. "You better hope there isn't a bruise there. Don't want the school finding out you abuse your child right?" I ask with sarcasm dripping past my lips. I was honestly signing my own soul to the devil for doing this, but my mouth was outta my control. "You are so fucking lucky for that bitch. One more smart comment out of your mouth slut, I'm going to start beating your brother also. Make your move." With that he took his coffee and stormed out the house, taking his car to god knows where. I was still sitting on the ground, holding my jaw. I finally let the tears fall as I thought, what did I do to deserve this type of life? I see kids at school talking about how bad their parents were for not letting them go to the movies, the mall, or whatever, but little do they know they should be thanking God so much for that because they do not have my parents as their parents. 

I wiped away my tears and stood up from the ground, and walked out the kitchen as if nothing happened. I decided I wasn't hungry anymore so instead I grabbed the keys for my motorcycle and left the house. I got on and drove away from my driveway driving to nowhere in particular. I zoomed down the streets, obviously passing the speed limit. After an hour of riding my bike I found an abandoned clearing. I parked my bike next to a tree and walking deeper into the clearing. I walked until I heard water rushing and that's when I discovered a small waterfall. I sat down on a rock watching the water run and right when I was about to relax and put my guard down, I heard someone clear their throat. I shot up from the rock and turned around to see Tyler standing there with a cocky smirk lingering on his face.
