I open the door my step mum pulled me by the ear into the house.
“Arrgh! I growled
“Why are you coming home by this time when school closes by 2:00,” she said with an angry tone.
“Am sorry mum, but I have to walk all the way home,” I replied looking down.
She started hitting me on the back continuously with a whip it was penetrating my skin it’s really painful, I fall on the floor and started crying.
“Stop crying and come do the dishes,” Lisa said and kick me hard on the back. I scream in pain and continue crying I stand up from the floor and grab my books I run to my room and lock the door behind me. Resting my back on the door and slowly caught my breath.
“Open the door this instant or you are dead.” my step mum snapped banging the door I ignore her crying continuously. I walk to my wardrobe and remove my cloth, I walk to the mirror and stare at my back bending my neck to see my back, it’s totally disfigured with a lot of scars from being beaten a lot by my dad and his wife.
I try to apply ointment on my back with tears still pumping out of my eye.
I apply ointment to the place my hand could reach and rub ointment on the wall. I use my injured back to rub the wall although the pain was increasing. I wanted to apply it on my back that way.
I fall on the bed. This rebellion will make me starve till tomorrow, I should just sleep I said and lay on the bed facing the bed with my back up, I remembered the super handsome guy I encountered today and smile. I hope to see him tomorrow too I said and cover myself with my blanket.

“Hello honey, Rachael is a good for nothing girl she just came from school and lock herself in her room, she isn’t opening the door.” Mrs Ray said.
“Mum, you have treated her nicely for far too long,” Lisa said starring at Rachael’s room.
“Okay I will do just that thanks hun,” she said and hang up
RACHAEL’S POV
I wake up in the morning due to the sun rays that was entering my room, my back still hurts so much I said and stripped naked and wear my bathrobe, after struggling the bath my back I manage to wear the not so good clothes my step mum buys for me. She always treats Lisa like a queen she has designer clothes and I don’t sometimes I wish I could just die.
I wear my baggy clothes and open the door of my room looking around and to my greatest surprise, my step mum was standing right in front of me. I gaze up at her and meet her eyes which were burning with fury, I swallow saliva.
“So you have finally decided to open up huh.......
