Survivor; Chapter 1

 

I'd barely been back from summer camp a week when it all started. The name calling, the pointing. And this is how it all began...

"Freya!?" I heard the gruff voice call from the kitchen. I trudged down the stairs, not daring to look in that direction. Finally, I entered the kitchen. My father was stood there, face red with either anger - the most likely - or embarassment - the least likely. He was holding my phone, scrolling through texts. "Who is this boy, Brandon, who you have been messaging?" He clicked on a message and pointed at the words.
'Theres a prty 2nite r u comin? x ;)'
"D-dad he's my boyfriend, you know that, Jessica said she told you." I muttered. Jessica was my step mother, a woman I neither trusted nor spoke to. He moaned on, complaing how she never told him, how I shouldn't have a boyfriend and how I was grounded for a week. Then he stormed off into his study and slammed the door. It was all fine, all those years ago. We'd been a picture perfect family. I'd been the innocent daughter, daddy's little girl who'd wear the pretty dresses, go to church, never have a boyfriend, and get the highest grades. Mum had been the stay at home type, spent every spare moment perfecting the new house, making sure no one would spot the odd coffee stain on the cushion, the mark on the dining table cloth where Dad spilt his wine. Mia, my older sister was always in her room, writing heartfelt poems, drawing portraits and painting happy things. It was then that Mum had met Cameron. She'd fallen deep in love with him, divorced Dad and moved miles away. Dad spiralled out of control, resorted to drink. Mia turned Goth. Hid away in he room more than usual. My grades dropped to a C average, lost the glasses, skipped church, and wore short skirts. Dad finally moved on, found Jessica and married her.
I sent a text to Brandon back, saying yes, I was going to the party, and pulled on a skimpy dress. I wanted to live again
