prologue
"daddy stop, please don't hurt me" realising I am 8 years old again, I can't shake it, "daddy please" I yell as I run to the kitchen and lock myself in a cupboard, shaking and scared for what was about to happen.
The cupboard door swings open revealing my dads angry face, red with anger "daddy, no, don't hurt me" I plead as he grabs my arm and drags me out of the cupboard, he drags my into the living room, sitting me on the sofa, "daddy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, it was an accident" the anger flaring up in his face again as he chenches his fist, pulling it back and slamming it into the side of my head, tears fall down my face at the pain this caused.
My dads current fiance laughing as she sits at the computer doing god knows what, I quickly stand up "I HATE YOU DADDY" I scream as I run up the stairs and lock myself in my room, I look in the mirror and scream at my ear that has now turned blue, my cheek is swollen and my jaw aches.
I hear my baby brother crying in the next room, my dad is now shouting at his fiance but I wasn't listening because I knew it was about me, I pick up the courage, leaving my room and entering my brothers room, I notice him standing up in his crib holding onto the sides with tears streaming down his face, though I can't blame him from all the shouting.
I pick him up and take him into my room, tucking him in bed next to me, I atrock his face as he falls asleep, he is only 8 months old, he shouldn't have to hear this everyday, I slowly fall asleep as the shouting has now quitened down, at least my baby brother was safe.
A/N New story, it is quite personal to me as in some ways it reflects my life, although the characters I will be using will be fictional, most of the story will be true to me and I hope you enjoy it, I know this chapter is short, please vote and comment, it will mean the world to me...
