Chapter 1 The Beatings

Katherine's Pov

BEEEEP!!!!! BEEEEP!!!!

I hear the stupid alarm go off and pulled blanket over my head trying to go back to sleep in my warm bed.

"Katherine wake the fuck up you ungrateful brat!! Shut that fucking alarm!! Get the Fuck down here and make my Fucking breakfast!!"

My father yells from outside the door making me jump out of my bed in terror and run into the bathroom to start the shower to make it sound like I was already up.

Oh Shit!! I think to myself.

I heard him walk away and then I hopped I to the shower. After I was done I went to my closet and picked out my outfit for today. I had to choose something that would hide my bruises. So that means my long black sleeve shirt and jeans with my black converse and my black jacket just to be safe. After I was done getting ready I went downstairs to start on breakfast for my father. I'm not allowed to eat anything in the house but only when he let me. Like in school I have to buy my food but my dad doesn't give me money so I usually I have to wait for 3 days because he doesn't want people to notice. When I arrived in the kitchen, the first thing I fell was a fist in my face that made me fall to the floor.

" YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! WHEN I SAY COME DOWN AND MAKE MY FUCKING BREAKFAST I MEAN NOW!! I WON'T HAVE MY fUCKING BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU TOOK YOUR SWEET TIME GETTING READY!! NOW IM GOING TO BE LATE BECAUSE OF YOU STUPID UNGRATEFUL BRAT!!"

My father yelled at me. I was hoping with all my might that he doesn't beat me up but to my luck, he lifts me up by my elbow only to punch me knocking me to the floor once again.. He kicked me a couple times in the stomach and pulls me up by my hair causing me to scream and punches me in the face. With that he throws me back to the floor and walks away not before he kicks me again, walking to the front door and slamming it. Then i hear his truck start up and speeds down the street.

Looks like I gonna be late to school. I have to put on makeup on my face to hide the bruises and change shirts because the one I'm wearing is covered in blood.

It took me 15 mins to get up from the floor and another 15 mins to walk up the stairs to my bedroom to change. After I was done I grabbed my bag and picked up my house keys and went to the front door and locking it before I left and then headed to the hellhole I call high school.... Great....

As I walked to school my body was pulsing with pain, its getting harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want to graduate and go to college major in science. I want a place of my own away from my father and this stupid town. i used to want to get married and have kids but if my father has taught me anything is not to trust anyone even blood.

School is about 10 minutes away from my house but it feels like 10 miles, my body hurts so much.
