‘Yes sir.’ I mutter. I watch him walk out and run to my bathroom and splash water on my face. Once I’m calmed down a little I head towards his office. Once inside I see him sitting on his couch pouting whiskey from the bottle into a cup and taking a big drink. I stand and wait for what’s coming.
He abruptly stands up and comes at me. I don’t try and defend myself or run because I know that will just make it worse. He shoves me up across the room but I catch myself before I fall which I know is a mistake but if I land on the floor I’m close to his feet.
He walks up to me and grabs me by my shoulders and spits in my face. ‘Your mother would be ashamed of you. Hanging out with a bunch of guys dressed like a whor*. Those clothes are for work alone not for you to flaunt your sh*t like a bitch in heat. You disgust me.’ He spat.

Normally I would be cornered up against the door but I didn’t close it behind me. Stupid move on my part. He follows me and shoves me again causing me to fall down the stairs.
When I finally roll off the last step I groan. My back, head, neck and legs are killing me. Son of a bitch that sh*t hurts. I feel hands grab me at my arms causing me to flinch and whimper away from the touch.
‘Liz angel, can you hear me?’ The voice asks. Why does that voice sound so familiar? Where have I heard that before? My head hurts too badly for anything to actually make sense right now. I try and open my eyes but the light makes my head hurt worse so I snap them back closed and grind my teeth. Again, wrong move because that makes my head pulse.
‘Oh my god. Liz are you ok sweetie?’ a voice I know as my dad’s asks.
‘Yeah, I’m such a klutz I fell down the stairs.’ I mutter. I force my eyes open and swallow my groan of pain.
I look around and see that none of the guys have left and they are all staring at me with concern, anger, sadness and pity. Super. Matt and Mikey look livid. Chris, oh my Chris. He is leaning over me with a blank mask on which makes me a little scared.
I try and stand up but the room starts spinning. I start to fall and close my eyes waiting for the pain of another fall but my eyes pop open when I feel hands on my waist steadying me. Chris is holding me at arm’s length which confuses me until I see my dad standing on the last step of the stairs. I immediately try and push out of Chris’s grasp but he’s not letting go.
I shoot him a pleading look which he ignores completely. After a few moments he finally lets go and steps back clenching his fists and his jaw.
‘I think I’m going to have a lie down. I’ll see everyone later.’ I mumble and head towards the stairs limping as least as possible.
‘Let me know if you need anything sweetie.’ My dad says not looking at me. I scoot my way past him and grab onto the banister so hard my knuckles are completely white. I struggle up the steps, stumbling a few times.
Once I’m in my room I close the door and make my way to the bed. I lower myself on it as gently as I can without hurting myself. I let the tears pour out my eyes but I try and silent let the sobs out. Ouch, sh*t my ribs are starting to hurt. I hope I didn’t break any, that would seriously suck considering all the chores I have to do daily.
Oh sh*t, my chores. I look over at the clock to see it’s already 1 pm. I might as well start soon so I won’t have to be up late. Tomorrow is Sunday and I luckily have no plans so I can relax a little tomorrow unless dad has anything he wants me to take care of.
I get up slowly again accidentally letting a cry of pain which I cut off as my as I can. I walk over to my closet and put on a pair of socks and work boots. sh*t, this hurts. Once I have my boots on I head over to the bathroom and grab a few pain relievers. I pop them in my mouth and grab the cup near the sink filling it with tap water and swallow it.
