lost And Found Chapter Six
I really like you. I said.
That's not the secret. You liking me doesn't create bruises on your wrist. He said.
Maybe is not the part me liking you but the fact that you keep grabbing my wrist. I said.
I highly doubt that. Come on fess up. He said.
Jeremy. I groaned.
Victoria. He whispered as the sino rang.
I got up and literly ran to lunch. I was starving.
I grabbed my lunch and sat down. Jeremy saw me sit down and then he spotted Vicki, a girl he has been liking for a long time. It was sad, she was with Tyler who was a football jerk. But Vicki only used Jeremy to get drugs. He really really like her. It was ridiclous how much he liked her and it was sad how much she used him for getting drugs.
Jeremy looked over at Vicki and than back at me. I shook my head no, I didn't want him over here bugging me. It was annoying and frankly I didn't want him know anything. No matter how hard I wished Jeremy still came over to my table.
Spill the beans. He demanded.
Stop being a jerk. I said.
oi I'm just wonder why you are skipping so many school days. He said.
Do you really have to know? I asked.
Yes, I would like to. Jeremy said.
The bruises you saw, there from beating, from my dad. I said almost whispering.
Beatings. He said.
Yes, when dad is sober or drunk he beats me for stuff that I do wrong or he take his frustration out of me. Ue blames me for my mother's death. I said.
I pushed my sleeves up on my jaqueta and show Jeremy the bruises.
Can't you stop him? Run away or something? He asked concerned.
No I can't stop him. It's too hard. I can't run away he's the only family I have. I said.
I'm sorry. You can come stay with me so he won't beat you! Jeremy said ethusatic.
I can't. Dad doesn't even like me going to school much less stay at your house. I said.
Leave him come stay with Elana and I. It will be safer. He said.
I cat he'll come over, take me home, and beat me even worse. I said.
Is that why you were gone for three school days and didn't come into town all weekend? He asked.
Yeah. I said shyly.
I don't understand how a father could do that to his own daughter. He said.
Because I took his cerveja away. I thought it would make the beatings stop but it made them worse. At least he can't catch me when he is drunk. Because he can't walk a straight line. I said.
That beating was for taking his cerveja away? He asked stunned.
Yes. I said meekly.
Wow, I'm sorry Victoria. I didn't know it would be something as bad as this was. And I am even mais sorry that I kept grabbing your wrist so hard. Jeremy said.
It's okay. You didn't know. I said.
We sat in silence for a few minutes.
I rolled down my sleeves so no one else could see the bruises.
You aren't allow to tell anyone. I will deny it if they ask me. I said.
I won't tell anyone. But why would you deny it. You could make your dad go to prision. Jeremy said.
He's family and he's my father. I said.
An abusive father. Jeremy added.
I know that but he's all I have left. Without him I have no where to go. I said as the sino rang.
School was over and I headed home.
I got início and dad had started his drinking earlier than usual.
Ruff dia at work? I asked.
Where have you been? Dad asked.
School. I said.
It's almost four o'clock. He said.
It take a while to walk from school to home. I said.
Don't get smart with me young lady! Dad yelled.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I was being smart. I said.
You have tothink Victoria! Dad yelled.
Im sorry. I said.
As the night went on dad got drunker por the your. It was aweful. Something set him off on a ram-page. Dad was shoutinf and I couldn't understand. Dad got his gun out and I grabbed my emergency bag and backpack. The emergency bag was for a time like this. I ran out the door and into the woods.
I didn't dare look back. I was too scared of what might happen. Dad couldn't follow me out into the woods. He was too drunk.
It started pooring rain and I couldn't see where I was going because it was dark. I tripped over árvore limbs so many árvore limbs I had lost count. I finially gave up and sat down. It was useless to run around the woods when I couldn't see anything so I just sat down. Right were I just so happen to be standing. I sat there and listen to the rain. I didn't left my mind drift off to other things. I had to stay alert because only God knew what was in the woods.
I really like you. I said.
