Chapter 1 Chapter 1 - Betty's pov- I'm staring up at the black night sky, counting all the stars to try to become tired enough to get some sleep before I have to get ready for another day of hell. But the pain in my stomach and dislocated shoulder made sleep impossible! I had been five minute late for my curfew and Victor, also know as my dad, did not like that I didn't have his and Margarethe's diner ready when they came home high as fuck. Since it is my responsibility to make sure their stomach is filled especially when they are high! They are my parents but I no longer call them mom and dad, they lost that right many years ago! They don't even want me to call them mom and dad, if I do I get a good beating. I always have to respond with 'sir' and 'Ma'am'. For as long as I can remember I have always been beaten, starved and neglected. I have and still wish for my parents to show me real love, because I know they are not treating me right. I just want my mother to say that she love me and that my father to call me his little princess. But deep down I know that will never happen! So right now I just sit here on top of the roof looking at the night sky and trying not to move a muscle since everything hurts! But I know its starting to get early morning and if I'm want to make it to school in time I have to get ready now and make sure breakfast is ready for Margarethe and Victor and make sure the chores is done or I will look at another beating when I get home from school. I slowly get up from the roof to walk inside threw the window to my room that's also the attic. I try to move as quiet as I can so i don't make any noise, i want to stay away from Victor as much as I can! I slowly make it inside and walk into the little bathroom I have up here. It's a rundown bathroom that have a broken mirror, a tiny shower, a toilet in the corner and a little sink under the broken mirror. As I was staring at the broken mirror the memories from when that broke slowly made its way to the front of my mind. It was one night I had been coming home late because I had to work a bit overtime at the diner where I work as a waiter. Flashback (trigger warning - sexual content) It was a full dinner tonight and I just couldn't leave Oscar and Karen handle a full dinner alone. They are always so kind towards me, and they always give me all the tips we are making. They also give me some hand down clothes from their daughter that she don't fit anymore. So helping them is the least I could do even though I know I will pay for it when I get home. Now on my walk home I'm already dreading what will be awaiting me when I open the door! I know he will be waiting. But I just have to get it over with. 1/3 Chapter 1 I got home, and as predicted, Victor was waiting for me as soon as I got in the front door I felt his big hand around my throat and he was squeezing it so hard that I struggle to breath while he dragged me upstairs towards the attic which is my room. When we got up here he first tossed me towards the wall and I was laying on the floor gasping for air. And I was just waiting for the beating and verbal assault to start. "How many have you been fucking today bitch?" Victor was screaming at me. "You know you are only my slut if I'm not the one that say you can go whoring around" he was saying in a more calmer voice this time but I know the more calm he talk the angrier he is, and now I know I was in for a hell of a night. And I also know, no matter what I say he will not care one bit about it, and he will just look at it as an excuse and the beating will become worse! "Get your sluty ass inside your shower right now to wash off the whory smell and come out here to me and let us make things right". I slowly got up from the floor and made my way to the bathroom, my right side hurt like a motherfucker after the hit at the wall. I slowly got undressed and walk into the shower, started the cold water since i'm not allowed to shower with warm water. I started to wash my hair and I could see the water turned a bit red which indicate I got hit in the head as well when I hit the wall. "Hurry the fuck up bitch and don't bother to put anything on!" I could hear Victor starting to get impatient which is never good! I hurried up washing my body and got out of the shower to dry myself off before meeting my doom. I slowly open the door with the towel around my body and walked into my bedroom and I could feel Victor's hungry gaze on my body. Then suddenly my towel get ripped away from me. "I said you shouldn't have anything on didn't I?" Victor said while putting his greasy hands around my waist and a smirk on his face. Then he forcefully put his lips on mine and all I wanted to do was puke but I know I can't do anything or I will not be able to walk for a week. I didn't kiss him back though I just let him do what he wanted so I could get away from him faster. I know I don't have any dignity left, and i'm tired of fighting the two people that is meant to love me more than anything. I felt he started to unbuckle his pants and heard they drop to the floor and he took one of my hands and guided it towards his tiny dick. Then I felt his creepy voice in my ear whisper: "Baby, show Daddy how much you love him". During these times is the only time I'm allowed to call him Daddy and I know that is only for his benefit. I felt one of his hand on my shoulder to push me down on my knees because I know he want me to suck his tiny dick. When I'm on my knees he take one hand on my jaw and force my mouth open and drive his dick in my mouth. After sucking him for a bit I had enough and I decided to bite his dick so I did. He screamed so loud and punched my face. He lifted me up by my hair and threw me first at the bathroom 2/3 Chapter 1 door then again towards the mirror. Chapter Comments 24 POST COMMENT NOW Chapter 2 Betty's pov I heard how the mirror broke into a million pieces and 1 first landed on my little sink before I fell completely to the floor. I felt so many pieces of the mirror got stuck in my skin. During all this I have not made a noise at all, but now I couldn't help but letting out a little whimper. Victor run out out of my room and I had to get up to take care of all the new injuries he left me with. End of flashback I looked at my body in the mirror and I won't lie, I feel nothing but disgust when I look at my own body. Its a color chart of black, purple, blue, red, yellow and green. I have so many scars from cuts made with everything you can think of! I look at my shoulder and I see its dislocated but I can't put it back in place without some help. Maybe I should call Kai for help with that after school, he is good with that kind of stuff. I made a mental note to call him when I'm walking towards school. But for now I need to take a quick shower and make breakfast to Margarethe and Victor. After I got out of the bathroom I was already done dressed, brushed my teeth, my long blond hair was put up in a messy bun and I had some sweatpants, hoodie with a sports bra on under it. I had also put some waterproof concealer on the bruises that is visible on my face and hands. I made sure my school backpack was packed and I also have all my savings in there because I don't trust that Margarethe and Victor to not snoop around in my room when I'm not here. I need to save a little more before I can safely get away from this hell. I make my way downstairs slowly because my shoulder and ribs hurt like shit. Once I'm down I make my way to the living room first to pick up all the trash they left there last night and empty beer bottles. I have to clean it up a little if not I will end up with a new beating tonight. I start with all the trash first, I pick it all up then head towards the kitchen to toss it in the trash bin. I walk back to the living room to pick up all the empty beer bottles, then make my way back to the kitchen to put them in the bin for empty glass bottles. When I'm in the kitchen I hear some movement upstairs and I know I'm in for it now, I most have made a bit too much noice so I woke one of them up. I go to the fridge to take out some things to make breakfast with. Looking inside the fridge I don't see much there so that means I have to go grocery shop after work today. But I see we have some cheese and ham so I guess they will get a cheese and ham sandwich. Once I finished the sandwiches and put some plastic foil over to keep it fresh and not have some of these nasty flies get on it i suddenly felt a wack to my head and I heard some glass break. I starting to see some stars but I take a slow deep breath and turn around to see my dear ol mom standing, 1/3 Chapter 2 there with a broken beer bottle in her hand. 'Because of all the noise you made you stupid slut, you woke me up' she sneered out. I look down on the floor because they don't like it when I make eye contact. I'm truly sorry ma'am, I will be more careful and quiet from now on" I whispered just loud enough for her to hear. "You better your ungrateful bitch or I will make sure Victor fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk for a few days" she said with her usual sneer before she took her plate with her sandwich and went to the living room to watch tv while eating. And I took that as my que to leave, so I grabbed my school bag I put by the front door earlier and made my way out. I was walking slowly towards school, its about a fifteen minute walk from home to school. When I got about five minute away from home I figured I was far enough so I pulled my phone out of the little room in my backpack and called Kai. Kai "Hello sunshine" I chuckled a little hearing his groggy morning voice. Me - "Hello Kai" I said with with a small smile on my face. Kai - "What have I done to get woken up by the most beautiful girl in the world?" I could hear the smirk he had on his face by now. Me - "Well that my dear is because you are the best friend I could ever ask for and you are the brother I never got" I said with a little laughter in my voice. Kai - "Way to shoot a guy down honey" He said with a chuckle. Me - "I'm sorry dear, but I actually called because I need your help with something!" I said while turning my voice a little more serious at the end. And I could hear Kai sat up in bed though the phone. Kai - "Honey you know I will always do whatever I can for you, what can I help you with?" I could hear the concern in his voice, because he know I normally don't ask for help. Me - "You see, I fell down the stairs yesterday" (which is not really a lie) "It ended with my shoulder dislocated and I need help getting it back in, and you know I can't really go to the hospital for that, and if I go to the school nurse they will call home and my parents don't like it when I bother others with my medical shit." I explained to him, it's more that Margarethe and Victor don't want me to reveal that they abuse me. That will just get me in more trouble. I did do that one time before, and that ended extremely badly for me, but I know I can trust Kai and our friends. Me "So I was wondering if you could set it straight after school so I can function at work today?" I asked with hope laced in my voice. Kai - "Honey, are you telling me, you are walking to school with a dislocated shoulder right now? And are 2/3 Chapter 2 planning to walk around like that till after school, get it straighten then go to work with an incredibly sore shoulder?" I could hear the frustration in his voice when asking me this. Me "Yes to all of that, you know I can't afford to take time of work, and you know my parents are strict when it comes to school!"
