1 The Hellhole

I wake up to a sudden buzzing sound. I groggily reach over to my bedside table and grab my phone. 'mmmh.....oh... i was spammed...' I say in my head, careful not to wake up my baby sister. 'It's from Gabriel' *Ollie are you up?* *OOOOOllllie!* *It's urgent!* *Pllllllz answerrrrr!* I then text back. *What is it? it's 2 o' clock in the morning Gabe.* Gabriel immediately texts back. *Guess what! Guess what!* *What Gabe?* My Mum said We're moving back to Blackwater Isles! I'll be attending the Blackwater state High School!* I freeze. Did... he just say... that's my school! Oh... oh no.... *Gabe* *Yeah?* *I know how excited you must be... but you won't be able to see me much, because Father often comes to the school, and he absolutely hates when i socialize...* *Crap... I'm sorry... I forgot...* *It's okay Gabe.* Then out of nowhere my baby sister starts crying and wailing. Oh no. Oh no! as I'm about to get up Father rushes in the room. When he notices me... I know it's not good. I slowly put the phone down. And look to my Father with a tired and emotionless look. He then says "What in Christs name are you doing on your phone so early in the morning??!!!" I say detached "My alarm went off. I must've set the wrong timer." "Bull hockey. Lemme see your phone young man." I hand it to him. The poor phone. so many cracks and missing shards. Barely staying together. Father Looks through it's contents. "Who is this boy named Gabe?!!" I decide answering will just bring me more pain. So I don't answer. "ANSWER ME!!!" With quick movements he pounds my face in. My name is Oliver Everstein. My Father is a preach at a local church. He hurts me. I'm hurt. One more year. I'll be free in one year. I... am... religiously...broken... I black out.
