I grabbed Jacob's hand. "We have to go! NOW!"

He looked confused. "Why?"

I resisted glaring at him. It wasn't his fault. He didn't know. Even if it wasn't dad, I wasn't taking any chances. I had to go.  Now. "We just have to go."

I hurried along pulling his hand hoping dad wouldn't turn around. Jacob looked disappointed, but that wasn't a priority to me right now.

"Why are we leaving? I thought you were having fun?"

"I am," I corrected myself, "I was. "

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Then..."

"What do you mean, then?"

"Why do you want to leave then?"

I sighed, frustrated. I didn't have time for this. The moment dad turned around I was dead.  I remembered what dad told me before he left.

FLASHBACK

Dad was limping. I was laying on the kitchen tiles, bloody, bruised, and broken. Chase shoved him down once more, and I heard dad's leg crack.

I looked away and sobbed. I managed to choke out, "Chase! Please, that's enough, that's enough." I was holding up my bleeding head two or three inches off the ground trying to keep it steady, so I could see what Chase was doing to my dad.

But I couldn't take it anymore. I dropped my head, hard. I was pretty sure I heard a crack, but who knows? Maybe I was hallucinating. I was bleeding pretty bad. Maybe I was losing consciousness or something. Is this what it felt like to die? To faint? To choke? Did everyone my age feel this helpless? I was pretty sure my friends didn't deal with this.

It all started when I was four. Well, at least for me. Who knows how long dad had been doing this to mom. Dad would hold me in his lap and lift his hand under my shirt and crawl it up and about. It got worse. When I was 7, our family went to a professional photographer's store to get our Christmas pictures taken. I was put in Dad's lap and Chase stood slightly in front of me, hiding Dad's hand. Where was dad's hand? Oh I think you know. It was down there. His hands were massaging me outside my underwear. Disgusting.
