"Kennedy wake your ass up!", my dad yelled kicking my bed. I hate this shit man. I honestly wish I had my mom in my life but she's gone. I don't even know what she looks like.
"I'm up.", I said with an attitude getting up. Once I stood all the way up I was smacked back down.
"I'm tired of your slick ass mouth. I swear if you weren't my daughter I'd fuck you up. Dumb bitch." He left after saying all that. I just cried even though it's nothing new. What did I ever do to deserve this?

After I got dressed I started walking to school.

I didn't put on any makeup today cause I want people to see what he did to me.
When I made it to school people were looking at my face but I don't care. I just want a teacher to approach me so I can tell them what goes on. "Can you come with me?", the principal asked after I made it to my locker. I followed him to his office. "What happened to your face Kennedy?", he asked.
"My dad hit me.", I said lowly looking down. "Please don't send me back home. He always hits me.", I said before he could say anything. "Look.", I said showing him a bruise on my arm from a day ago. "Please help me.", I pleaded.
"We're gonna get you some help Kennedy." Thank God.

My dad's in jail. I believe he's gonna be in there for a while. They found a lot of drugs in the house and he tried fighting a cop. "Do you have any family?", an officer asked. Well I didn't think about this part.
"Umm no.", I said.
"We'll put you into a temporary home until we find somewhere permanent for you."
