^where Amelia lives
Ugh, could I be any more bored than I already am? Let's find out, if only. Ya know it gets really really old when I have to go up stairs with Jonathan (my brother) and into my room to watch him so he doesn't get scared, and it could only be two people's fault, and who's fault is it you might ask? My parents, wow didn't see that one coming, they need to sort out their problems, I just want to run away and never come back, but I wouldn't be able to take Jonathan with me, and I couldn't just leave him here, he's 9, he wouldn't know what to do. "Jonathan, it's okay, you're okay, you're safe with me, mom and dad aren't gonna hurt you." Jonathan sleeps in my bed almost every night, he's too scared to sleep in his own room, so I get to sleep on the floor every night, woohoo.
-Time skip-
"Jonathan." I whisper. No answer "psst... Jonathan.... wake up." I whisper a little louder. Great he's dead asleep, I have so much homework to do, but a bad grade won't kill me will- (knock knock) I quietly get up to the knocks at my door and open it quietly, great it's my mother. "Yeah mom?" I whisper trying not to wake my brother. "I'm done with your father" that's not the first time I've heard it before. "I am going out of town for a couple days, your father might be going somewhere, I honestly don't fucking know with him. Anyways, you have your money Jonathan has his money, I'll leave a car for you to take him places like school wherever you and him need to go, and when or should I say if your dad leaves, please tell me, ok honey?" She whispers. Of course your leaving, doesn't surprise me..... I want to leave, if I could I would. "Yeah mom. Thanks for letting me know." She usually never gives me a heads up, I just have to find out all by myself. "Oh and Amelia, take Jonathan to his room, you two have your own rooms for a reason, and-" she looks down at her watch and rolls her eyes. "Shit, I have to get going, Im going to miss my ride, bye hun love you, don't do anything stupid." She raises her voice just a little, but not too loud. "Psst, mom." I loudly whisper. "What Amelia." God why is she giving me a attitude, I've done nothing. It's not my fault your marriage is falling apart. That was kinda harsh... "Jonathan hates sleeping alone is his room when you too fight." My voice softens. "Well I don't care now I have too go, put him in his room before I have your father make you." Oh please no, I already hate living with him, and I hate when he talks too me. "Ok" I say as my voice croaked. "Have fun on your trip." I try and say with a smile. "Well I'll try, it'll be hard too if you guys ruin it." She mumbles under her breath. God! Why does she have to be such a bitch. I roll my eyes and turn around too see Jonathan sitting at the edge of my bed just watching me. He's going to hate what I have to say. "Hey Johnny." Johnny is his nickname, whenever I call him that it's like I'm reassuring him that he is ok, I like that he feels safe around me, I mean I'm his sister he should always feel safe around me, but he doesn't feel safe with my parents:( pretty relatable tbh
He knew he had to go to his room, and he did, without talking, I know he was scared to go, but I couldn't go with him, he would have been yelled at, and I would have been hit, my mother is definitely aware that my father hits me, only me, sometimes he goes on too hurt Johnny, but I don't let him, I have to take the hits for him. I would feel guilty if I didn't.
As I look down the hallway too see Jonathan walk into his room, a sigh of relief came out of me, I was just relieved that my father wasn't upstairs, god I've never felt safe with my parents, not once. God I wish my sister was here, she was my best friend, but now I don't really have friends, well I have friends. But none of them I trust, not even a ounce of trust, but it is what it is. Oh! Except for Christian, my actual best friend, he is always there for me, and has been for like what.. 11 years now.? I'm just glad that I have him, I honestly don't know what I would do without him.
The next day....
Surprisingly my dad was gone. YES! Excitement went through my body, now all I have to do is wake up Johnny get him breakfast and go to school, of course we have to get dressed, brush our teeth, wash my face brush my hair, take a shower, blah blah blah
After my shower, Johnny was already downstairs watching his TV show while I was picking out a outfit to wear to school, today I really want to dress lazy, I don't want people seeing my bruises from when my dad hit me last week, that's all I've been wearing to school, just oversized hoodies. I'm not proud of my scars.
While looking at my body in the mirror, all I see is a small scarred girl, great. Now the water works are coming. My parents are always pushing me to go over my limits on everything especially eating, they call me a sack of bones, or they make disgusting comments about my body, and of course, that brings me down, I mean come on, I'm 5'4 and 114 pounds, I'm the average weight for my height, maybe not my age, well I'm 17. Well who knows what the average weight for a 17 year old is.
I roll my eyes then walk over to my closet, I pull out some red lace panties and a matching bra, now tapping my foot on the hard wood floor and my hands on my hips, questioning what I should wear. -Ding- a lightbulb goes off in my head, finally something cute but lazy to wear
^the outfit Amelia wore for school, but without the purse and sunglasses
-Time skip some more-
As I was opening my locker my boy best friend came up and picked me up off the ground to scare me of course "Christian! Ahh! Put me down!" I laugh out. Christian makes me happy, and before you ask. No! I do not have a crush on him, if we were dating it would just be awkward. finally Christian puts me down and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear "How have you been Amelia? I missed you." He says with soft eyes, I love Christian, I really do, he cares for me and loves me, not like in the girlfriend and boyfriend kind of way, but just friend way "I've been good, what about you?" I say in a plain tone "No, tell me, is it your dad again?" He knows my dad hurts me, and he knows that my mom is aware of it, he frowns. "No, I have the house to myself, again. Besides Jonathan being there, but you can comeover if you want." Johnny and Christian are like brothers, Christian helps me take care of Jonathan, THANK FUCKING GOD HE DOES!!!
Christian nods with a smirk planted on his face "Yes I would, and also I'm spending the night whether you like it or not." Christian says in a playful mood, even if my dad came home he wouldn't mind cause my dad likes Christian, but if my dad knew that Christian knows what he does to me.... well then that my friend would be definitely something to watch. "Ok, erm- can you um.." I think he knows what I'm about to say. "You want me to pick up Jonathan, yes?" I shyly nod. "Ok I will Amelia." He chuckles, "Love you, and go too my car when lunch starts so I can get us some food!" He shouts while walking away, all I can do is smile and nod "I love you too!" People always think we are dating, I mean sometimes we act like we are but we don't like each other like that, well I don't like him like that, we are just really close.
As I was closed my locker, I started walking in a hurry to first period, science ... woohoo great when you have to start off your morning with science, I mean better than starting off your day with math, I used to wait for one of my friends Gisele so we could walk to class together, but she is ALWAYS LATE, so I don't bother, but when she comes to school she always find a way to get both of us into trouble, but mostly her.
While I sat down in my seat, I could just feel a pair of eyes watching me, staring holes into me, god I hate when people stare, but of course I can't look behind me, it would just be too awkward for that, I guess I'll just have to suffer.
