|Teddy's Pov|

"Dad! I'm home." I yell as I walked through the gates of hell, also known as my front door.

"Good," He slurs "I'm hungry."

"Dad I have homework I need to do." I sigh.

"Did I ask you what you needed to do? I said I'm hungry!"

"But my hom-"

"Shut up!" I breathed in, deeply. I got ready for an impact that was surly to come. I sobbed as his larger hand crossed my face. I felt hot tears run down my face as i slowly but surly backed away from him. I go into my bathroom and picked up my listerine bottle flipping it upside down. I took off the tape I put on the razor blade and stared at it, feeling powerless over this small object.

Am I really doing this again, I said to myself as I cried my eyes out.

I traced over lines with my finger that was already there, feeling like crap I look up and saw a light red spot that looks like a fading handprint. Why don't he love me? What the hell I do? My mothers death have nothing to do with me.... I didn't kill her. Right? I'm hurting just like everybody else but I don't go around hitting useless people in the face. I formed two perfect lines on my skin and decided that was enough knowing if I cut a vein my father wouldn't care to take me to the hospital. That being said I can't leave Stefan here with that crazy man, he'll hurt him just like me. My baby won't go through that.

The handprint is nearly gone but my crying never stops. I hear the doorbell ring but I pay no mind to it.

"Teddy! Open the god damn door! And where's my food? If I have to say I'm hungry one more time." He warns, sluring his words once again.

"Coming!" I yell as I wrap a white cloth over my cuts. I should have picked another color because I see red bleeding through it.

I pry the cops were at the door but when I opened it I almost closed it as fast.

Matthew Anderson.

He's here. Damn.

"Hey Teddy, you ready?'' He asks with a cocky smile.

"It's not even eight.'' I rush my words

"Who is at the door? Teddy if I get up your not going to like it."

"Who's that?" Matt looks confused but worried at the same time.

"My dad. Look you have to g-" I was cut off by my hair getting pulled back. I screamed in pain as I was thrown into the ground. "Fucking shit"

"Dude! The hell is wrong with you!?" Matthew shouts "She's a fucking girl!"

"Get out," My dad spat "your fucking him but you won't fuck me? Get the hell up." Nice way for somebody to met my dad.

"Teddy I'm taking you with me , let's go." Matthew said this. I look at him but he was too busy looking at my dad, like he seen a ghost or something.

"Can my brother come? I'm not leaving him here." He nods and I turn around just to hit my dad's chest.

"Your not going anywhere. I told you I want food." his hand shot up and I got ready for him to hit me for the second time today. It never came though. I opened my eyes to see Matt on top of my so called father.

"Teddy hurry up!" I do as I'm told and run to my brothers room.

I can't help but to think that I just met this boy not even 24 hours ago but he saved me. This must be some type of joke on the nerd. I'm a nerd why would he want to help me .... Or even take me on a date?! I grab money to buy Stefan ice cream so he would think everything was alright. When I came back my dad was laying in our chair I guess he passed out or something but I really don't care.
