"10 O'clock in the evening, great great great" he claps thrice. At horror I’m shock.

But I never mind him this day was too much. I’ve decided to pass through him and totally ignore my stepbrother but he pulls my hair so bad

"Ahhh" I shouted at pain.

" don’t you ever dare to ignore me when I am talking, nod if you get it" he shouts at my face. "You slut, why don’t you tell me that you sleep with men" he said in gritting his teeth. "No. it’s about school works that’s why I’m late" I reply in a low voice.

"Do you think I will believe in your lies. " "you think" he shout like a madman .

I’m trembling in horror when he says "You will sleep at the basement tonight" again he pulls my hair so tight and drag me to the basement. I don’t want to be in a cold and dark room

"Please Eliot, please-" I cry while pleading. He listens not but instead he got angrier. I cry badly, I crawl and compacted at the corner. I am tired of this life. I’m tired of living all of my life, Battered.

What if I die?

I am so tired. All of my life I was treated like a trash. When will I’m going to be happy, If I’m dead?

Well I guess this is my fate. How pathetic I am. But no- I won’t give up. I won’t end my life they aren’t worthy to be the death of me. I’m going to make sure that—

'low grin'

I think it’s time to take action, slow-ly. I smile widely. Uhuh

I’m going to love this idea.

The door creek. open.

"get up, your late" watching in his Rolex. I stand up and pass by I didn’t even take a glance of him but he suddenly spanks my ass 'nice ass'. I just give Devin a blank look and leave. I have no time to deal with him.

At the hallway everyone is staring at me specially those bitches.

"Hey, hey nerd" Alice. then Macy interrupt “how are you?" while Sammy doesn’t say anything. Good for her not to interfere, I am totally drain physically and mentally.

I don’t know why Sammy’s like that. In fact, she's my neighborhood, probably she knows how battered my life is. They supposedly know it. They shouldn’t ask. I just ignore them.

They throw a crumpled paper on me and laugh wickedly. I was caught off- guard. They keep throwing and laughing. Then someone push me and their laughs grew bigger when I suddenly fell on the floor.

"my butt oohhh” I moan in pain. But they just leave me hanging after seeing me weeping.

"Oh poor Elizabeth, let’s go girls". as she rolls her eyes and leave like nothing happens.

But Sammy stay unknowingly and says "You better stay out of the sight so that you might not get hurt." Then leave.

I compose myself and get up. I must be strong; I can endure it- I must. Apteral I’m a graduating and all of us will part ways. Sounds better.

Classroom. Same scenario. listening to your professor. take notes, quiz and dismiss.

It’s time for me to go home. Home? I don’t know.

Birds are chirping, there are so beautiful and it’s like a melody that can calm one soul. I look up in the sky feeling the breeze of the cold wind. So peaceful and relaxing. "Yeah" I think I should go. chuckle I must go now I’m having a moment at the front of the University what an embarrassment Elizabeth

I felt the coldness of the doorknob as I open it. I am always welcome by the emptiness of this huge house. A spiral stair, a huge wedding portrait of my not so-called biological parents, in beside of that stair there is a grand piano oh I wish I can play with joyfulness in it. I can say that this house in where I’m staying, is beautiful but the people living inside this huge mansion. I don’t think so. They are so cruel as animal. After checking the house, I went to my room. Even though of what they have treated me. I still have a beautiful room. "Yeah!" rolled eyes

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth" a voice coming from downstairs I think in the kitchen.

"I’m coming" I hurriedly head to downstairs

"Elizabeth in the kitchen" someone added. I go the kitchen

"Yes?!" "Ahmm, my dear I bake some cookies come on try to pick one." I extended my arms to pick then suddenly someone hold my hand "Oops sorry" he says at the back of my ear.

"Come on my dear," as he unbuckled his belt. He grabs my hair and pull me closer to his body. I’m trembling "No! please" I pleaded with tears "Liiiieee Dowwwwnn" he shouted at me.

"Hey! " he snaps in front of me. he leans slight and

"laters" I shivered. I hate being here in this stupid house. But I have no choice.

Well force me to do things, beat me like an animal and insult that’s his hobby.

And make himself satisfy by touching every part of my body, I felt molested and dirty. After he was satisfied he will leave with a devil grin on his face and me crying and felt disgusted.

That him the devil one whether drunk or not.
