Beth: Annoying Brat

All her life her dad had been abusive to her, her mom didn't say anything cause he was rich and why should she lose her reputation. He was a drunk as well, drunk every night, no one knew that side of him, only her and her mom. To everyone else he was this rich doctor, with a perfect wife who was always there for him, a housewife, a gossip, wine mom, but in reality she was a cheater, she had a different man in her bed every night. On her side of the house. They didn't even share a room.

She has never seen them do anything loving together in a long time, the last time she can remember was the day they were leaving England for the second time, they were happy, starting off somewhere fresh. But after that it all went down hill. As soon as the family moved here. The USA ruined her life.

Her dad was at work most of the time but when he was home, he drank, was high, an abusive piece of shit. The amount of makeup she had to use to cover up the bruises he would leave all over her body. Then in sophomore year she even got a boyfriend who was also abusive as well. At this point she is so used to it. Beth called the police once, but they didn't believe me, why would they, her dad has all the money he could just pay them off. After that one time she never called them again. She got a hell of a lot more beatings after that, she even had to go to the hospital once.

Her whole life is a lie, everyone thinks it's so perfect, she hates it. Her friends are all fake, other than Daniel, but he has his own problems and can't be there for her. She hates it, most days she wants to die, the only thing that keeps her going is the fact that everyone always compliments her, it helps her, but also the fact that maybe Beth and Nathaneal would ever become on good terms. But for now he hates her and she guesses she has to hate him back then, so for now he's her enemy even if she would like them to be friends not even friends just not on bad terms. It's a horrible life. one she wouldn't even wish on her own enemy

Back to the story, It was the first week of her senior year, she only had one year to leave this hell and go to this little cottage in the middle of nowhere, so that she could live out her life in peace and become the writer she had alway dreamed about being. No one knows she likes to write, it's her secret. She's had her eye on this cottage for years.

Like every year there was a party to celebrate the new year, because she was part of the popular group she needed to be there, she hated these things, but they are mandatory for her for her status. She always had to ask my dad to go to these, every year he had said yes. But this year he said:

"No."

She was mad, she needed to go, a rule for being part of the popular group is that in every year four people need to go to a party otherwise you are banished from the group. It's a shit rule but everyone follows it anyway. In her year she has six people part of the group, her core friend group. Daniel, Sophia, Alaska, Chad, Jeramy and Beth. Daniel and his Girlfriend Sophia were going on a date, so she needed to go, she couldn't be banished even if she didn't like it, it was the only family she had, plus Daniel needed her.

As soon as he said the words, she was fuming. She didn't want her whole life to be crashing down. Tears started to break through the walls she had built. She wiped them away quickly, her dad would think she is weak if she started to cry, everyone would, everyone would think she is weak. She asked again.

"No!"

And other times.

"No!"

And once more. By this point he was fuming. You could see the steam coming out of his ears. The bottle he had holding in his hand was starting to get cracks. And the more she asked the more angrier he got. Soon she had crossed the line:

"Can I go to the party, Dad! Please!"

She said with a pinch of sorrow, tears had started to form in her eyes.

"No!"

He screamed. She started to open her mouth to say ok. Then he moved his hand, the one with the bottle in it, slowly backwards. Fear spread across her face like a blanket. She knew what was next to come.

In one quick movement the glass bottle landed on the floor in front of her. The newer glasses falling onto her feet. Red fluid rushing out of her feet, like when a dam breaks. She yelled. She cried out in pain. She knew not to ask again, his answer was clear. He started to scream at her.

"You little Bitch. I said no! Don't ask me again"

"But, Dad"

Don't talk back to me. You know what, I'm going to teach you a lesson you annoying brat."

With that he picked up his phone

"Hello Police. Yeah, I found Cocaine and Meth in my daughters room."

He said our address then hung up. He rushed to his office. He came out with a small bag and rushed to my room. That's when she realized what he was doing, she rushed to him:

"Dad, no please don't do this, please dad I'm begging you. I won't ask again to go to any party ever. Just don't, please"

Tears started streaming down her face. she was kneeling on the floor. Begging! She was in this position till the police came. With tears in her eyes the police pulled her to their car. And they drove the long way to the station, still with tears in her eyes. They arrived with tears in her eyes. She was pushed into the holding cell with tears in her eyes.

A person, with heavy eyeliner and dark makeup was sitting on the other side. They smiled at her.Beth smiled back. She had seen this girl before, at school.

"Gothy"

She blurted out. They stared at me

"What are you doing here, miss perfect"

"It wasn't me, I was framed"

She spilled out. They scoffed. She smiled!

"Long story. What about you?"

She asked, She had heard about the fact that they had gone to jail. They ended up telling me what had happened that day.

"You know, I couldn't have guessed to see you being put into jail."

"I know, my phone is probably flooding with texts, and calls from the others, asking where I am, all wondering why I didn't make an appearance at Becca's party."

"Right, that was today."

"Yeah, I mean it wouldn't have been fun anyway, the boys all think they can do what they want. I mean last time at the beach party I was wearing my bikini and apparently that meant that I could be treated like an object. One of the boys even thought that what I was wearing was an invitation to get down and dirty with me without my consent, luckily Nathaniel was there and he ended up punching the dude."

She smiled remembering,

"What's the deal between you and Nathaniel anyway?"

"Well we used to be best friends, now we aren't"

"I want to know more, but I won't push you"

"Thats nice."

"I have a question though, why do you call me Gothy anyway."

"Ummm, well you look like a goth to put it bluntly, I don't even know when we started calling you that, I think it was Sophia who started it"

"Ugh Sophia, I hate her, she so much more worse than you, no offense"

"None taken"

She laughed while saying that they were right

"Like at least you try to be nice to everyone and we can all tell, but she is so fucking fake, like we can all tell her hair is dyed, and how she laughs at the fact that her grades are so bad and she laughs about it."

She started to form a smile on her face, they seemed nice.

"And like please why hasn't Daniel dumped her fake ass, like we all now she fucked Oscar"

"Oh I know the answer to that, so basically ummm Daniel, first off hates rumors but the more likely thing is that umm their parents, so the only reason they are together is because his dad his forcing him to be with her due to his work cause like their parents are co-workers and stuff."

"Wait OMG thats so juicy!"

"Don't tell anyone, or I will rip off your head, maybe even Daniel will do it."

"Noted"

They both burst out laughing.

"I mean Daniel and Sophia's relationship always seemed forced"

"I know right, like no one knows, the only reason I know is because I saw Daniel kiss someone, and he then told me. So I wouldn't tell her."

They opened their eyes so wide, and looked at her surprised, like they were thinking 'What?'

"I know right I said, answer the question she had been thinking about answering."

She smiled, we ended up talking for a while. She had fun, way more fun than she would have had at the party, which is hard because she loves getting drunk and forgetting everything, that's actually something not many people know, she gets shitfaced every-time she goes out but apparently people think she's an angel who only gets good grades. But he was thrown in at 8:30pm and ruined it.
