Grey Matter- JO MFZ [COMPLETED]

Chapter 21; Daddy's Gone

"John," I say weakly. "It's hard to move past it."

"I can understand but, sometimes, talking about it to someone can help," John suggested.

I sighed and looked at him, "you don't want to listen to me."

"Yes I do. I can listen. I want to help," John countered.

I take a deep breath. "My dad abused me and Maddie for as long as I could remember. Since the time I was like three or four, until I was eight or nine. Then he walked out on us. The asshole left us, not with out beating us first of course," I explain.

I closed my eyes and then I see it.

Flashback

"Daddy! Stop!" I cried.

He didn't, he ignored my screams of pain and terror. He kicked me in the ribs and slammed me against the wall.

I continued to cry harder and harder. Hoping and praying he'd stop.

"Shut up!" He shouts drunkenly, smacking me in the face.

Eventually he stops, he looks at me, curled up in a ball on the floor. In the back there's screams from my mother and sister. They're locked up in the closet. After dad beaten them.

He just looks and laughs. Giving me one last kick, he grabs his bags he left at the front door and leaves. I hear his car drive away and I close my eyes letting the tears slip down my cheeks.

I got up and walk over to the closet, unlocking it. Mom and Maddie run out, they look around trying to see where he was.

"He's not here no more," I mumbled. "Daddy left."

Mom takes a deep breath and starts crying. I can't tell if it's happy or sad tears. Maddie just wraps me in a hug and lets me cry into her chest.

Daddy's gone

End of Flashback

I open my eyes again and turn to John. I tackled him in a hug. Crying hysterically.

"Please don't tell anyone," I begged.

"I promise," John mumbled.

I cried into his shoulder. He didn't need to say anything. Just him being there was good enough.

Here's Mackenzie's big secret. What'd y'all think?

Anyways I'm going to try to get more of a story I've been writing for like almost a month and half, two months done bc I'm planning on working on another story.
