Dark Days

chapter 10

Aiden's POV:

I heard an instrument being played it was quiet at first but my feet were taking me where the sound was. The music room I was just outside the door and I heard someone play the piano like if it was second nature and I heard one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I wanted to see who it was but the door was locked I cursed quietly to myself so instead I just sat on the floor next to the door and listened to whoever was singing and playing the piano. I could listen to it for hours and never get tired of their voice. Next thing I knew I fell asleep on the floor. 

Jailyn's POV:  

When it was lunch time I originally hoped to go to the garden but maybe Karissa was going to be there. I went to my second option, the music room. I made sure no one followed me but then again no one ever did so I made it to the music room and locked it. Just in case anyone heard me they wouldn't be able to get inside. I take out my lunch bag and calmly and happily start eating my sandwich sighing in relief when my taste buds touch the amazing sandwich I made myself. After that I ate my juicy crisps grapes and drank some water. I throw away my garbage and clean my hands and sit at the piano bench I close my eyes and take deep breathes I look around as if anyone would be there. I start playing the piano and soon I did what I always did when I was alone and wanting to get my emotions out. I sang... singing was my true escape yes I know "Wait if you sing why don't you talk" Well smarty pants I sing because the words are already chosen for me to sing and say but talking with other people is scary. I get nervous and I get paranoid by the fact I might slip out to much info that no one needs to hear so I don't talk and I only sing to myself no ones has ever heard me sang well other then my mom. She loved hearing me sing she said I had a sweet angelic voice but I soon quit singing for a while that's when I stopped talking. 

I sang with all my heart the songs I felt like touched my heart and related to me and my feelings. First singing "Lovely" By Billie Eilish and Khalid, "All I want " A cover version I heard, "Someone you loved" and "Bruises" by Lewis Capaldi, and "Jealous" by Labrinth. These songs felt like I related to and some I interpret in a different way then what they were written for. Soon after finishing my singing session I quietly start to cry remembering what was going to happen in a few hours. I wanted to run away I wanted to fly away somewhere safe somewhere that he couldn't find me... but I knew if I tried to it would just make it worse... I had no choice then to obey. Soon lunch was over and I exited the room to find someone sleeping on the floor next to the door I didn't know who it was since they used their hood to cover their face I didn't want to wake them so I just made my way to my next class being there early so I start getting my things out and start doodling on a piece of paper. Until class started, the day went on and I kept my eyes glued on the clock wanting to stop it and make it stay frozen in time forever, I always hated when my father told me beforehand. I hated it either way but more when I knew it was going to happen whether I wanted or not. My heart drops and eyes water slightly when school was over and I had to return to my house... I had to face those disgusting and horrible monsters again. 

With heavy feet I went to get my bike after successfully avoiding Aiden and Karissa I check my phone and my heart races knowing I had to be home before 3:30pm and it was 2:45pm. I hopped on my bike making sure I had everything and raced my bike home. Panting and lightly sweating I made it to my house my heart dropped seeing two familiar cars I quickly look around and decide to chain my bike up to a tree making sure it was sturdy and a little hidden. I fixed my clothes and hair and made sure my breathing was normal so they wouldn't get suspicious. I stare at the door for a good five minutes realizing I'm about to meet the face of true evil and disgust. With a shaky hand I opened the door and step inside.

"Ah there's our little maid slut, I'm glad we didn't have to chase you down this time" The first skinny bone like man said making my stomach churn and flip in ways I hated. I bow to them that being rule made by my father. "She isn't much of a talker so you could do whatever you please with her just don't fuck up my furniture." My father told the men. I wanted to die and yell for help I wanted this to be a dream and wake up in my Eomma's arms but I knew that wasn't going to happen.

"What the fuck are you waiting for?! I'm fucking hungry and you're standing there like a fucking idiot get in the fucking kitchen and make me a sandwich. " I flinched with the fat beer bellied hairy greasy man's voice. I quickly scramble to the kitchen putting my backpack aside and start making them sandwiches knowing how they like them and I get them their usual beverages. I give them their sandwiches and they start eating them the beer belly man ate his sandwich quickly engulfing it down his mouth crumbs and Mayo getting all over his mouth causing me to grimace in disgust 'Pig.' The skeleton man looked at his sandwich and took one bite and threw it on the floor and stomped on it making a mess. I flinch and jump and wait for him to finish his fit and look at him waiting to hear his complaint. "It had too much Mayo, what are you trying to do get me fat like this piece of shit here?! " he yelled furiously at my face while pointing to the beer bellied man. I shook my head shaking slightly he wasn't satisfied with that so he kneed my stomach causing me to hunch over and fall on my knees grunting and getting the wind knocked out of me. Being able to hear the fat pig laugh at me, my pain being his entertainment. "Fine you won't use your mouth to talk I'll make you use it for something else. " He hissed he pulled my hair making me let out a pained whimper and I tried taking his hand grip off from my hair but it was no use. As this was happening I saw my father go up to his room and slam it shut. 

'What did I do to deserve this life.... '
