"It feels like my life will always be this hard... Having to battle everyday alone, not knowing how to survive, and wondering if I should continue living... I hate this so much..." I cried hard into his chest. I just wished he could just make everything better but I'm sure he wished he could to. I'm sure Thomas feels the same. I just continued to sob as I hugged him as tightly as I could manage without hurting him or more so myself.

"First of all, you'll never battle alone. Second of all... it does get better, Crystal. I promise."

I sighed and cried hard into his chest. "I love you so much..." I felt myself getting tired. I wouldn't allow myself to fall asleep again though. I couldn't have another dream like I'd been having...

"I love you too." I tilted up her chin. "Try to sleep. If you even whimper, I'll wake you."

I nodded softly. Of course I had another memory. I knew instantly what day this was. It was one I could never forget...
When I got home from school I looked at my mom knowing she knew what happened at school. "When your father gets home you're gonna get it..." she said with her eyes narrowed. It only took her saying that to make me know what I had to do. I got up to my room and snuck out of the house easily. I ran as far as I could go. It began to rain so I ran inside a nearby abandoned house. I hid in there and cried, until my dad had found me. He grabbed my wrist and I tried to fight him as he pulled me off the ground. He popped me hard and grabbed me and lifted me into his arms. I cried when I saw the burning fury in his eyes. "I found her," he said to my mother. There was no warmth in her eyes or anything showing that she was grateful that I hadn't run away. She simply said, "Beat her with the metal part of the belt really good and then bring her to me," I cried when he nodded and took me upstairs. He stripped off my bottom clothing and bent me over my bed. He pulled off his belt easily and hit me hard with the metal part. I cried and begged him to stop but he just beat me harder. Once he finished he brought me downstairs. I didn't bother putting my clothes back on. My mother grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside in the backyard. I saw that she was holding a long black leather cord in her other hand. When we got outside enough to where the rain was hitting my burning skin she threw me to the ground. She slammed the whip against my skin. The rain was causing it to burn more than it normally would. She struck me five times and then she stopped. I couldn't get off the ground so my dad carried me inside the house and into my room. "You're grounded for a week and every day of your grounding your going to get twenty hard licks with the metal part of the belt," he said and then slammed my door shut. I cried myself to sleep. The pain hurt too much and I just wanted to die...

"Crystal." I shook her gently. "Principessa, wake up."

I cried softly into his chest. "I just want them to go away... It's hurting me too much..." I cried softly.

"I know," I murmured softly, not sure what else to say.
