Dark Past

Black out

After my Father's meeting with the principal, the drive home was so tense and i had started sweating. I didn't even see David and Sharon because the school has not closed. As he drove into the garage and packed, we got off the car. While he walked at the front, i walked behind, i was shaking as hell and my hands were sweaty.

Almost getting to the front door of the house, he turned around to face me, glaring daggers at me, i could see that he was also clenching his jaw before he spoke

"Kneel down at the living room"

I headed to the living room and followed his instructions while he left to go upstairs. I could feel my fear building and settling in my stomach.

About 5 minutes, he still had not showed up making me panic, i had tears rolling down my eyes and i was shivering immensely as i awaited for his wrath on me.

Finally, he showed up with a bucket of water at his right hand and the other, a belt. With his sleeves rolled up and his tie sagged. I could feel his anger as it showed in his eyes. So he settled the bucket of water to the ground and sat on the couch putting the belt by his side.

"Your grades were dropping"?" he questioned.

" uhmm...Yes..Dad.." i stammered making it seem more like a question rather than answer.

" Do you know how much i pay for your tuition fee and you go to that f*****g school and not focus on your studies,You ungrateful dullard," he shouted,standing up to come and meet me.

" You are a worthless piece of s**t" he said, as he kept saying these insults to me, i feel the pain piercing my heart, i felt useless, i realized that I wasn't important, i was just a mistake, a scum on earth. He took the bucket of water and poured it all on me, i screamed as the water touched me, it was so cold and it made me shiver. He started beating me and driving kicks to my stomach making me fall to the ground. I was so weak, screaming and crying until i was out of strength.

" Please Dad, stop" my words came out in whispers but i was sure he didn't hear me, my body ached but he kept on beating me brutally.I couldn't stand the beating anymore as i felt my vision blur and i blacked out.

The next day,i woke up and my body ached and i had a serious headache that i had to place my hands on my hair but immediately,i put my hands to my hair,i winced in pain. I had to place my hands back gently and found out i had a bump there, although it wasn't obvious since my hair covered it but i sure wasn't gonna comb it. I really didn't feel like going to school but if my Dad found out, i was gonna be in a big trouble and I didn't need any more pains so i prepared for school.
