Chapter 22

"Cause this house don't feel like home

Today it's Sunday, I'm going back to school tomorrow...
What happened on Wednesday is still shocking to me..
I honestly kinda need him in my arms right now but whatever..

It was late in the afternoon, i was downstairs watching television when i heard a loud noise in the kitchen followed by screams..
I got to quickly and hurried to the room.
I saw my mom on the floor, picking up pieces of broken glass... With my father hovering over her.
"MOM? WHAT HAPPENED?"

i yelled making my dad look at me with anger...

"Nothing just your worthless mother dropped this"

My dad said... My blood was boiling.

"She is not worthless!"

I yelled at his face..

He just laughed..

"Yeah she is and so are you, like mother like daughter"

I went up to him holding in my anger..

"Mom is the most powerful woman i know"

He laughed..

"Oh honey, you are both worthless whores"

"YOU ARE THE WORTHLESS ONE IN THIS FAMILY"

I yelled at him and his expression changed..

"SHUT UP!"

was all i heard before feeling something hit me in the eye and falling to the ground..
My mother was crying her eyes out..
He did it...

"You hit me.."

I whispered, with my voice cracking...

I then run up the stairs before anyone could say anything and locked my bedroom door, i looked at the mirror, my eye hurt but there was no bruise around it yet..

He really hit me.. My father ... I never expected that..
That night i went to bed crying..
I woke up the next day with a huge headache...

I slowly started walking towards the bathroom and when i looked in the mirror, i froze..
I had a black eye.. Flashback of yesterday came to my mind and i almost started crying again...
How am i going to go to school like this?
Its huge..
Concealer..

I applied some concealer on my left eye, the bruise was not visible thank god..
I can't believe he did that to me..
I hate him more than I've ever have..
I'll just walk to school.. I woke up before my parents so i wouldn't have to face them..
Let's hope the concealer plan works..

It was the fourth period, lunch..
We got lucky, This was the last period of the day for today. I don't remember why the let us leave earlier because i was only paying attention to my eye..
My plan had worked fine until now.. No one had noticed.

It was the last five minutes, we were just talking about random shit because we jad finished our food..
Then something horrible happened...
Someone pushed a boy on me.. His land Landed on my face.. I didn't realize that the concealer was gone.. Making thr bruise visible.

"Hey, watch where you're going! "

I yelled furious..

He apologized and i flipped him off..

I then turned around to talk to the boys.. Only to catch them looking at me with widened eyes..

Mattia's hand touched the area under my eye making me hiss in pain..
He looked at his hand and noticed the concealer all over it.. Fuck.. I couldn't speak.

"Gabriella? Why do you have a black eye?"

SHIT
