we pulled into the house to see that dad was already home, if his car in the driveway didn't give it away the stench of alcohol and weed lingering in the house definitely did. 

"cassidy?" he slurred "maddison...where have y'all been all day?" he said stumbling up from his couch

"we-we were in chapel hill daddy." said cass, i knew it would be better for her to talk because he had a soft spot for her. or he didn't hit her as much and would most likely believe whatever she told him.

"don't lie to me you whore." he said getting closer to her as i stepped in front of her slightly,

"cassie, go upstairs." i said.

"but-" 

"go." i said more sternly,

"where were you?" he asked me, 

"she told you. chapel hill?"

"you think i believe a word that comes out of your dirty mouths?" 

"where else would we be?" i asked 

big mistake.

 before i had time to react, he had socked me in the gut, i stumbled backwards in shock, leaning against the countertop for support. he knocked me down with a blow to the head with what i was assuming to be a broken beer bottle, because seconds later i felt a hot liquid dripping down my forehead. i brought my hand up and sure enough, it was covered blood.

"you know what tomorrow is?" he asked me walking over,

"..yes." i croaked.

 tomorrow was the anniversary of my moms death

"it's all your goddamn fault!" 

of course this wasn't true, our mom died of lung cancer. cancer isn't something given to you. it's not something someone does, it's just there. cancer doesn't care what your race or ethnicity is. it doesn't care if your rich or poor. it just takes you away leaving your family to pick up the pieces and try to put it back together.

"i kn-know.. i'm sorry..." i groaned. it's easier to let him win i learned after time.

"you fucking mistake! you're worthless, you hear me? worthless!" he screamed at me, rolling me over on the floor to admire the work he did to my side, blood was seeping through my halter top

"how did you go out like that? dressed like a fucking slut." i felt hot tears drip down my cheeks and onto the floor, as i was laying on my back

"you're practically asking for it."

"maddy?!" cried cassie running downstairs "maddy, are you okay?" she asked, i nodded my head slowly,

"wait-wait here, i-i'll do something, i'll-i'll get some-" she told me running upstairs, i closed my eyes suddenly really tired. 

i woke up in my bed.

"maddy?" cass asked looking up from her phone and coming over,

"what uh, what happened?" i asked sitting up and groaning at the headache i had, 

"you got into it with dad." she said "i think he um...i think he.." i sighed as i nodded slowly,

"wait, what time is it?" i interrupted

"like 7?" she said

"shit. shit shit shittttt." i said standing up "i'm fucked."

"sorry?"
