lost And Found Chapter Six
I really like you. I said.
That's not the secret. tu liking me doesn't create bruises on your wrist. He said.
Maybe is not the part me liking tu but the fact that tu keep grabbing my wrist. I said.
I highly doubt that. Come on fess up. He said.
Jeremy. I groaned.
Victoria. He whispered as the campana 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.
hola I'm just wonder why tu are skipping so many school days. He said.
Do tu really have to know? I asked.
Yes, I would like to. Jeremy said.
The bruises tu saw, there from beating, from my dad. I dicho almost whispering.
Beatings. He said.
Yes, when dad is sober o drunk he beats me for stuff that I do wrong o he take his frustration out of me. Ue blames me for my mother's death. I said.
I pushed my sleeves up on my chaqueta and mostrar Jeremy the bruises.
Can't tu stop him? Run away o 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. tu can come stay with me so he won't beat you! Jeremy dicho 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 tu were gone for three school days and didn't come into town all weekend? He asked.
Yeah. I dicho shyly.
I don't understand how a father could do that to his own daughter. He said.
Because I took his cerveza 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 cerveza away? He asked stunned.
Yes. I dicho meekly.
Wow, I'm sorry Victoria. I didn't know it would be something as bad as this was. And I am even más sorry that I kept grabbing your wrist so hard. Jeremy said.
It's okay. tu 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.
tu aren't allow to tell anyone. I will deny it if they ask me. I said.
I won't tell anyone. But why would tu deny it. tu 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 dicho as the campana rang.
School was over and I headed home.
I got inicial and dad had started his drinking earlier than usual.
Ruff día at work? I asked.
Where have tu 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.
tu 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 árbol limbs so many árbol 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.
