Sakura's P.O.V. -

I sat quietly in my room with my door closed, I wanted to block out as much of the shouting as I could. My mother and father were fighting for the tenth time in one day. I hated when my parents argued. Anytime they did, they'd involve me in their argument too, for no reason.

I looked at myself in my cracked full body mirror. Bruises and scars covered my body from head to toe. Turning my head, I could see the fresh bruise that stained my left cheek. That was from when my dad had hit me last night.

Tears streamed down my cheeks. Why couldn't I have had a normal family? Why couldn't I have had a kind and loving mother that took care of me? Why couldn't I have had a strong and caring father that I could bond with?

My thoughts were suddenly disrupted by a loud, cracking sound. I looked over and saw that a humongous crack was now across the bottom of my door.

"You're nothing but trash, all you'll ever be is trash!" I heard my dad shout, outside the door.

"Don't touch me! I'll call the police!" My mom yelled back. "Take one more step and I'll-!"

A sharp smacking sound and a cry of pain from my mom filled my ears. Various other smacking and hitting sounds were followed afterwards. Out of fear, I quickly got onto my hands and knees, and crawled under my bed.

"Please stop! Stop it!" I whimpered softly.

No sooner after I said that, it did stop. I peeked from under my bed and saw no one was longer in front of my door. I slowly crawled from under my bed and listened for a while. I heard my crying in the other room. I wondered if she were okay or not. My dad is a big guy and-

BANG! BANG! BANG!

I heard my mom scream out terror. My father had a gun; he's going to try to kill my mom! My heart began pounding harder than before. I was afraid, but I couldn't just let my dad kill my mom. Quickly, I crawled out from under my bed and scrambled to my feet. I slowly opened my door and peeked out.

My eyes immediately take in the scene; my mom was on the ground defenseless. Her face was now red and swollen. Blood is running down her nose. Her eyes were wide with tears in them, it's the first time I've ever seen her look the way she did that. She looked… afraid.

My dad towered over her beginning to pull back the trigger; I threw open my door and ran swiftly down the hall, "Dad don't do this! Don't shoot her!" I cried.

"Shut-up, you idiot! Go to your room and stay out of this!" He bellowed, not even looking back at me.

"No!" I shouted, leaping onto his back. "Mom, go now! Run while you have the chance."

I covered my dad's eyes with one of my arms and held onto to him with the other. My mom quickly got up and ran into my parents' bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

"Let go brat or I'll knock you into the next century!" My father shouted, pulling my arm off his eyes.

After a short struggle, my dad managed to grab both my arms and throw me down on the hard wood floor. I looked up at him with fear in my eyes; I had saved my mom, but now, who was going to save me?

"Instead of knocking you into the next century, I'll send you to the afterlife instead!"

He stepped on my ankle, preventing me from escaping him. My dad slowly began to crush my ankle, I screamed out in pain as my eyes shot closed. He laughed. "You should've stayed out of adult business!"

I looked up with him tears in my green eyes. I thought would always end like this, dying by one of my parents. My dad aimed the guy right at my head, I would instantly die.

His finger pulled the sliver trigger, but to my surprised, nothing happened. He must've run out of bullets while shooting at my mother. My dad's face turned red with anger and threw down the gun. He stared at me in disgust and stepped on my ankle a little harder, before marching into the kitchen, cursing under his breath.

I began to crawl back to my room, with my ankle in total pain. But, before I could even get to my room, someone began banging on the door. I jumped a bit from the loud beating. Who in the world could that…?

"This is the police! Open the door!"

My father ran back into the room, cursing aloud, calling my mother every bad name that was known to man. I continued to crawl back to my room, crawling at a faster pace. But, before I could reach my room, I was grabbed by the collar of my shirt.

"Where do you think you're going? You're not answering the door!"

"I wasn't!" I winced in pain, as I slowly sat up. "I was going to room!"

"Yeah, right, and I'm supposed to believe that, you stupid, little liar!"

My father was threw me on the floor and began to kick me. I cried out pain as his boot made contact with my stomach over and over again. The banging and shouting outside the door kept going on. I began to lose all consciousness as my father's heavy assault continued.

"I can't…" I whispered, as blood dripped from my lips. "Move…"
