Cassandra's P.O.V

I had a took a long nap. I needed it. My mind was filled with so much shit and I needed to rest my mind. I woke up and started to make my way downstairs. I stop, startled by a voice I did not regnozize in my living room. I stay still, trying to listen. I immediately recognized the voice, it was Lucas.

 What the hell was he doing here? Why is he talking to my parents? If that bastard wants to talk to anyone about our situation it should be ME.

"I feel like I should come to talk to you guys. Your daughter has been acting different lately" Lucas said. I rolled my eyes.

I just wanted to punch him so hard in his chest right now.

"Acting differently? In what ways?" My mom asked. She sounded concerned.

"She's been hanging out with this guy named Jose. He's no good. They've been giving each other hickeys and who knows what else they did behind closed doors. She also went to a party with him without you guy's consent," He explained.

Friends don't snitch you out. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. At this moment, I knew my friendship with Lucas was COMPLETELY done. It got really silent downstairs. The silence made my stomach ache in nervousness. My parents were probably REALLY mad at me.

"Thank you for letting us know Lucas, but you should really get going,"

I heard the door close. I go the run back to my room and act like I was sleep, but I feel a strong tug on my shirt. I fall down the stairs, my head hitting them pretty hard.

 "CASSANDRA! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THEN THAT! HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THIS GUY DIDN'T GET YOU SCREWED UP AND PREGNANT!'' My dad yelled at me and I just froze. I tried to sit up, my head ached so bad I just fell back to the floor.

"Well, we didn't do anything so stop thinking so negatively! Why don't you trust me? I'm not a little girl anymore!'' I yelled back him, finally getting the strength to sit up. 

My dad forced me back down and climbed on top of me. I smelled a strong whiff of alcohol as he started to hit me, hard. My mom pulled my dad off of me.

This explained a lot. Lately, my mom had really bad bruises on her for the past week. He must have been hitting on her too. My foster dad had always had a bit of an alcohol problem, but I didn't know it was this bad.

 ''What the hell are you doing Rob!'' She yelled at my dad. 

They just kept arguing and arguing, this was my chance to slip out and call for help because I knew my mom didn't have the guts to. I look to my left, seeing my phone laying there. I silently reach for it. I dial Jose's number. I couldn't think of anyone else to call. He answers.

"Please help me. Pick me up now. Please please please I'm at my house," I literally beg him as tears stream down my face.

"I'm coming babygirl. I'm coming I promise," He says. I could hear the concern in his voice.

My dad takes my phone and literally chucks it at the wall. What happened to the nice and caring foster parents I used to have? How can someone be the best thing that happened to you than be your worst nightmare in a matter of seconds? I then think of Lucas. How can someone just be so 2 faced and turn their back on you? Why has everyone betrayed me?

My thoughts were interrupted when Jose entered my house. I look at my dad and he pulled a gun from his pocket and was threatening Jose with it. Everything was just happening so fast. I hear a gunshot, then another.

Who did I just lose?
