I Love You.
Chapter Twenty
STEPHANIE'S POV-------
The ride to Jinxx and Sammi's place was silent, until Andy asked a question that was probably bugging him.
"I thought you got along fine with your dad. What happened?" Andy asked. I sighed.
"My dad is only nice to me when he's sober, when there's company, or when he's really tired." I said.
"Okay, but he was obviously tired, sober, and there was company...me."Andy said. He sounded confused.
"All I know it's that he hates you. I'm going to tell you something not even Walter knows.I need you to hear this." I said.
"What is it?" Andy asked.
"My dad... he beat me. Only once. He was shit faced drunk and I was all alone in my room listening to you sing, Andy. I thought he wanted to ask me a question. I was stupid enough to open the door and that was it. He layed his hands on me." I said.
"What. The. Fuck." Walter said.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Where did he hurt you?" Andy asked.
"My face, my stomach, my arms, my back." I replied.
"Oh man. Babe, I am so sorry." Andy said.
"No. You have nothing to apologize for. It was my fault for not telling anyone. Walter, do you remember the day last year when you said I looked like a skank?" I asked. His face flushed.
"Uh yeah, why?" He asked.
"The night before that he beat me. You were out somewhere when he did it. I don't know why he said all those nice things to me the morning after. Maybe he was embarrassed. I was afraid that if I said one wrong word he would beat me again, so I just went with it. I should've told you earlier, but I couldn't find the courage to do it. So I'm sorry." I said. I felt a single lonely tear run down my face. I did nothing to get rid of it. We sat in silence after that. We reached the house and took the rest of my things inside. I just wanted to be alone. I didn't even want Andy around at this moment, even though I knew he could make me feel better, but I didn't want that. I wanted to feel my moment of sadness, because we all fall down sometimes. I reached my breaking point today, so I let all my sadness out and cried myself to sleep four hours later.
