FLASHBACK

"PLEASE!!!"

"All we really want is to see your dead body"

"Make sure to have some fun with her first"

"Why would i need you as a Daughter"

"Daddy won't know about this"

"Your death won't be painful at all"

"Go ahead"

I snap back to reality when I feel hot tears run down my face, did all that really happen?. Would they really go that far?.

I need to find out what happened but when I try to stand up my body fails me. I'm about to start crying when I notice a phone on my bed. Call for Help. I pick up the phone and lucky  for me it's unlocked so I scroll through the contacts to find my dad's or our maid's number.

I decided not to call my step family, Family?. They can't be called family if they really did all that to me. I thought all this was normal, those years of hatred, those years of deceiving my father, those years of never-ending torture. I thought one day they'd wake up and have an epiphany, realize that I just always wanted to be loved.

I remember those times that after being bullied by them, I'd go to my father but he NEVER did anything. He thought all this was normal too and left it for me to bear all by myself.

As I basked in my loneliness while still searching for someone to call, I realized that this whole thing, my whole life could have been the opposite way round if only I had some courage. They'd never treat me the way they do if I had as much courage as they did and then maybe we would have been one happy family I decided then and there that I'll never be the girl I was before, I have to make some changes and then find out what happened to me.

I finally found our maid's number and called her in then I briefly explained the situation and how I needed help.

"Should I tell your father" she said with concern. "No, it's better for him not to know yet" I replied. she nodded.

I spent the rest of the day laying in bed and thinking about my life. Maybe all this is for the good of it anyways, I can finally escape this horrible life and find one worth living. Finally, I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

I wake up the next morning feeling way better than I have ever felt, I get up take a quick shower and put on a red crop top with some black shorts. As I brush my hair I'm interrupted by a knock on the door and then our maid walks in.

"Good morning" she said with a bright tone as usual. "Good morning" I replied with a tone darker than hers. "May I get you some breakfast?" she asked. That's a risky move so I decide to take a move worse than that. "Can you just make the breakfast, I'll get the food from the kitchen myself" I said. She turns around to leave and I stop her "Wait".
