(The image is Stephanie! P.s there are some abuse and cutting in this one)
I've been sleeping over at Veronica's place for a while now until her parents said it was time for me to leave. I was so happy that I finally had w friend that I totally forgot about dad.
Once I returned home, I opened the door and was instantly dragged in side then thrown across the room and smashed into the glass cabinet.
"Where the hell have you been!?" My furious father asked as I slowly started to get with blood all over the shattered glass. "I was doing something that teenagers enjoy doing, it's called being free!" I remarked sarcastically and boy did that piss him off. My father stared at me with raged filled eyes, he snorted like an angry bull and almost blew flames like a ferocious dragon. He stormed up close to me, grabbed my hair and started dragging me up the stairs. I screamed and cried for him to let me go but he only tugged harder and we got to his room where he hit me with a baseball bat, smashed me against walls and slapped me.

Later on in the afternoon he left to go to the pub to get wasted like the dumbass he is. I sat in the tub that night and just cried. I cried for my mother, I cried for a better life, I cried for it all to end. I couldn't stand it no more so I grabbed the razor and started taking them out and that night the bathtub was mixed with water, tears and blood.

The next morning I woke up, put on some bandages Put on a long sleeved shirt and ran out of the house as fast I could. I arrived at school and started talking to Veronica, my only bestie, and  I told her everything.
" oh Stephanie you have to tell the police!" She said urgently and worried.
"I can't. If I do he will kill me..." I said sadly. But that didn't Stop the determined look on her face.
"What if your not the one to tell on him?" She questioned with a rebel tone.
"No you can't he will kill you Veronica!"
"Stephanie I would take a bullet for you it's fine nothing will happen to me." She said courageously. Before I could retort the bell rang and we all sat in our seats.
Time skip to lunch
Veronica and I sat with the test of her friends and I got to know them and they got to know me and we all got along really well I was so happy.

That night I got a call from Veronica saying that the cops are in their way to pick up ur dad and take him away for child abide you were so happy but the bad thing was that your dad had heard the whole conversation and before she hung up she noticed her father and quickly asked Veronica to help her before she started screaming. All she heard from Veronica was I'm coming and she was gone.
"Ha you think you can get away with calling the cops to arrest me uhh I don't think so!" He taunted then he forced her against a chair and tied her there in this living room while he left to get something.
Veronica's point of view
Run. I had to run to get to Stephanie. I will not let her dad hurt her anymore! I got to her place and slowly opened the door and quietly sneaked into the house. I hid behind a wall and watched what was happening. I saw Stephanie's dad walk away and I was about to go to Stephanie but then he'd dad came back out. WITH A GUN!!! No Stephanie oh no! I saw Stephanie wiggle around to get free and I heard her cries.
"Hahaha now I won't have to deal with you any more Stephanie!" Her father cackled evilly. I saw Stephanie close her eyes crying and her dad was about to pull the trigger so I kept what I had said in mind and ran out in front of her screaming,"NOOOO!!!"
Stephanie's point of view
I closed my eyes and silently cried awaiting death to come but then I heard a scream of no's and heard something on the ground. I opened my eyes and gasped and cried harder at what I saw... Veronica actually took a bullet for me but before my father could shoot again, police came crashing in and tackled dad and let me free. I stayed next to her side crying, holding her close as some ambulance came in to see her but sadly they looked at and shook their heads. She was gone, dead. The only person who finally realised they should stop torturing me. My best friend was dead and I'm the reason why!

I didn't sleep that night I stayed up all night in my room and get dead corpse in a coffin downstairs we had a quick funeral here at home and her parents were so devastated. It's all my fault I told myself. I don't know how I can keep on living without you Veronica I thought before I passed out and went to the realm of nightmares
