Scars To Your Beautiful

Chapter 1

  Eva's Pov

    "Eva! Eva!"
 
I heard Shirley call me but i had already zoned out again,and i'm sure Shirley was already getting frustrated with me..
  
  "Yh yh",
 
   i said shaking my head to clear my thoughts.

"You zoned out again for the 3rd time,what's going on with you?",
  
  Shirley asked her voiced laced with concern as she stared at me

   "I was just thinking",

   i said, knowing there was no use lying to her,she had always been my back bone since i moved last year.
   
    After the incidence with dad,mum and aunt Anne decided it would be better if we moved,it was pretty easy since we had no relations whatsoever except dad.
  
    Shirley became my friend when i was a junior and now  we are seniors,it took a while for me to open up to her,cause i'm a big introvert,that's what most people tell me at school,but i could care less about them..
 
  I was walking to lunch when a bubbly girl grabbed my arm and said
  
"We're gonna be bff's"
Since then we've been best friends and she's always been by my side since then....
 
   "You know he's not gonna come back"
  Shirley said placing her hand around my shoulder in a form of side hug.
  
     "I know", i said leaning into her hug.. We were currently spread on the bean bags in my bedroom going over some homework.
     
   "Enough sad stuffs,lets just watch a movie",Shirley said grabbing my laptop that was placed on my desk,switching it on and scrolling through my Netflix,we decided on A Night In The Museum, great movie by the way.
  
    We fell asleep after a while,mum woke us up by yelling for us to come down for dinner..

  "Hey mum"i greeted as i sat down on the counter top munching on an apple.
 
  "Hey Mrs W",Shirley said to my mum who just shook her head at her,a small smile playing on her lips, while i just chuckled.
  
   "Shirley,you know my rules,if you call me Mrs W one more time...",mum said playfully glaring at Shirley
 
   "Sorry,Mrs..,um i mean Laura,"Shirley said grinning innocently.
  
    "So mum,what's for dinner?",i asked getting a waft of home made pasta...Yum!
  
    "Pasta",my mum said smiling at us.
    "Great",Shirley said pulling out a chair to sit on.
    
    "So,girls,school starting tomorrow",my mum said trying to make a conversation, even though she is an introvert like me.
  
    "Yep,and its the beginning of senior year,just 3 more months and were done with high school",Shirley said waving her arms about dramatically,as she munched on her pasta.
  
    "Yh,can't wait to leave our very cliché high school",i said in between bites of pasta.
  My mum just laughed and continued eating.

  Dinner ended 10 mins ago,so i and Shirley are just playing call of duty,which by the way I'm a boss at,not to brag or anything..
 
   "Oh come on!",Shirley groaned as her character got shot,making me the winner.
I just chuckled at her actions.

   "Shirley,it's late,you should probably get going before your parents start worrying",mum said,even though she knew that Shirley's parents know she's at our house. I guess she doesn't want any trouble,cause before Shirley's mum knew about our past,Shirley would always spend a lot of time with me and my mum,making her parents worried and angry,but when we decided to tell them,they understood and were so supportive,Shirley's mum even became my mum's best friend.

"Yh,ok Eva see you tomorrow at school,bye Mrs W",Shirley said as rushed out the door to avoid my mum's wrath.We just laughed at her.
  
  "Young lady,i think its time for you to go to bed",my mum said placing her hands on her hips,looking intimidating as hell.
  
  "Sure mum",i said knowing there was no use arguing with her.
  
    I went to my bedroom and got dressed for bed,as i stripped,i couldn't help but notice the still fading scar on my left side,as memories began rushing back..
 
  **************
Warning,abusive part ahead,skip if you'll feel un comfortable reading it....
        ************
    "Dad please stop,mum's really hurt",i said staring in horror at my mum's bloody body.
  
   Dad just grinned wickedly at me,taking slow but long strides towards me as if stalking a prey,i couldn't help but shrink back in fear..
  He yanked my arm,dragging me towards the kitchen counter, he was about to hit me when mum let out a muffled scream,begging him to let me go.
    He ignored her,dragging me by my hair,he used my body to hit the glass table so hard that it shattered to pieces and i had a huge piece of broken glass stuck to my side,making a huge gash which had blood flowing out like water.
I passed out not long after,hearing my mum's pleas
***********
   Abusive part has ended, carry on.....
***********
 
  I felt the tears running down my face,i quickly wiped them away,earlier i had promised myself that i would never cry no matter what happens, i had learnt to bottle up my feelings,not allowing myself to breakdown or show emotions, and i'm not gonna start now.
  
    With that thought in mind i went to bed dreaming of what it would have been like if dad was still with us...
