Chapter Nine:
Julia POV:
Beep beep beep!!!
I open my eyes and sit up slowly.
Damn fucking alarm.
I grab my phone and turn off the alarm.
Why do I have an alarm on a Saturday again?
Right..
I have to exercise every weekend, and tonight was the party at Mandy's house.
I get up and pull on my jogging clothes.
A tank top and jogging pants along with Nike shoes.
I pull my hair in a high ponytail and grab my earphones.
First of all, I hate exercise, but my therapist said I had to at least jog to keep my depression out of the way.
Yes, I could get depression, but my parents made sure I don't.
I got tips from my personal therapist and as long as I follow them I will do great.
Yeah right. The goddamn woman is robbing us from our money and I wish they could see that.
Plugging in my earphones, I make my way to the door.
Usually I would skip Sunday exercises, because I am lazy.
But sadly, today is Saturday.
I start to jog down the sidewalk and last night's images flashes through my mind.
Hunter's worried eyes haunts my dreams.
I can't forget him, no matter how hard I try.
He knows something...
Mum and Dad finally exploded.
They didn't even stop screaming and shouting when I walked in.
They just kept on, ignoring me.
Mum had thrown about five plates at Dad and I was left to clean it up.
Dad even shouted at me.
I was shocked, and I still am.
After I fled the kitchen, I heard a horrifying scream and when I went back to the kitchen my mother was hunched over the counting, holding her eye.
My dad was shocked, and I stayed in my room after cleaning up.
My dad raised his hands for the very first time at my mother and I have no idea how to handle it.
I don't know what Hunter is thinking about my life now, probably what everyone else thinks.
I am a miserable girl that has abusive parents.
Or maybe the poor girl that can't even smile at a joke.
I jog a little faster and try to ignore the aching tug in my stomach and the burning in my throat.
Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
All I wanted for Christmas last year, was a peaceful family.
All I wanted for my birthday was a happy ending.
And all I ever got was unhappiness, parents trying to kill each other, rumors and back stabbers.
I had the same wish ever since I was thirteen.
I feel hot tears sliding down my cheeks and I start to run.
My feet are hitting the sidewalk hard and I can feel the burning in my chest.
