9 : 0 C 1 stop off at the local chemist after college and look around the shelves for something to ease the pain in my stomach i desperately need something to numb the agony . I'm still dressed in Jake's clothes , my own still damp inside my bag . " Can I help you ? A voice asks , directing the question at me . I snap out of my little daze and turn to face a worker in her early forties , smiling at me . " Yes please . My brother is a boxer and he's in pain with his stomach . I wondered if you had anything to help him ? " I lie , knowing I'm babbling way too much . I can't help it , I'm a crappy liar . " Has he been treated professionally ? " She asks me , frowning a little . My eyes widen at her question and I feel my heart pick up pace . " Y - yes but he's also been recommended to take painkillers , strong ones , " I mumble quietly , staring at the floor . " Follow me , " she responds politely , disappearing down an aisle . I breathe a sigh of relief , following her in the same direction she disappeared . " Tell him to take these three times a day after food . They are strong painkillers so no more than three , " she informed me strictly . I nodded and thanked her , paid for the tablets and left the chemist . Once I was outside and around the corner , I immediately swallowed two without water . " Please help me , " I whisper , shuffling myself in the direction of home . *** I'm halfway up the stairs when Trevor stops me , slurring his words once again . " What the fuck are you wearing ? " He yells up the stairs . I turn slowly , feeling exhausted from the day . Much to my dismay , my heart begins to pick up speed in fear . Trevor is stood at the bottom of the stairs in his pyjamas even though it's the afternoon . Slob . I can feel him glaring straight at me , eyes burning holes through mine . He was clearly growing impatient , his foot tapping against the floor . " It was raining this morning so I changed into some dry clothes , " I explain myself quietly , signalling at Jake's clothes . I turn back around , wanting to escape to my room as soon as I could . " You filthy slut . You disgust me . " Filthy slut ? " What did you just call me? " I ask , turning back around and narrowing my eyes at him . " You're a filthy slut . Do you let every boy have a go on you in school ? " He snaps back , his eyes flashing with hatred for me . I don't miss the smirk that grew on his lips as he tore me down with his words . I immediately feel my chest tighten with anger . My fists clench by my sides and I narrow my eyes into thin slits , staring directly at him . 1/2 9:02 Tue , Oct 14 B Chapter 7 See the hatred in my eyes for you ::. BA I can feel my chest rising up and down as anger and adrenaline swirled together , becoming dangerous . Without thinking about my actions , I spit down , aiming directly for his face . I was taught growing up that it was the most disrespectful dirty thing to do . That's exactly why Trevor deserved it . My spit lands directly above his lips and slides down onto his upper lip . " Bullseye ! ' I grin , feeling proud of my work . Trevor's whole body tenses up and he flares his nostrils at me , getting ready to charge like a raging bull . I immediately turn and bolt up the remaining stairs , heading for my bedroom door . I quickly lock it , pushing the chest of drawers in front of the door . My heart continues to pound and it isn't long before Trevor hammers on it with his fists , hard . The door threatens to come off it's hinges and I stare wide eyed at them . It's the only thing separating me from the beast . Please go away . He's raging behind the door , screaming at me so much , I can't make out the words . I imagine him frothing at the mouth , fists slamming into the wood . He suddenly stops , silence filling the house . I can hear my heart beating inside of my ears and I frown , leaning closer to the door . " What has she done this time honey ? " Mum asks him , her voice small and timid . The fact that she doesn't stop him sickens me to the core . Imagine the person who is supposed to protect you the fiercest in this world , standing back and allowing such pain to come to you .
