Callie's New Life

Chapter 26

Callie's POV

I woke from another nightmare and saw that Liam was no longer beside me. I rubbed my eyes and struggled to get out of bed. I go down the stairs and when I reach the top of the first level stairs I stop. Samuel was drunk and he had blood all over him. I begin shaking, I was very scared that he would hurt me again. He was always mean when he drank but he never abused me, but this time I feared different. I rush back upstairs as fast as I could, I go and hide in my play room. 'I'll make him a card' I thought to myself. I sat down at my desk and start cutting colored paper to make him a card using his favorite colors, which was blue and purple. He couldn't get mad at me then Right? I wondered

Liam's POV

"No I'll go check on her" Samuel said as he stood up. I got out of his way and he went upstairs. Callie was not in her bed. "Callie Bay Gidion!" Samuel yells but he gets no answer. He stomps down the hall slamming every door open looking for her. "Callie, get you as out here now!" He yells but she doesn't answer. "Callie! I'm not playing, get your ass out here or I will belt you" he yells as he takes his belt off. "No daddy!" She cries running out of her playroom with one of her stuffies and a piece of paper. He grabs her by the arm gripping it tightly. "Are you saspost to be out of bed?" He screams in her face, she starts to cry and shake, since she can't fit in her underwear No more, she accidently pees the floor. She starts to bawl her eyes out. "Nasty, bad girl, get into your room now!" He yells and smacks her across the face. She screams and he raised his hand to do it again, but this time I stop him just like before. Callie runs off to her room and slams the door. "Get your hands off of me" Samuel spats trying to get out of my grip. I smack him in the face a few times. "You hired me to watch over and protect her, and right now I have to protect her from you" I yell. I forced him down the stairs to one of the empty rooms and push him in. "I suggest you sleep it off" I said slamming the door and locking it from the outside. He pounds on the door for a long while, screaming just like a toddler having a tantrum. After a half hour of this he stops and gives up I hear him walk over to the bed and fall down onto it, before to long I hear him storing. I peak my head in to make sure he wasn't faking and when I was sure I locked the door back up and went back upstairs to check on Callie
