They arrived home and dad had finished moving all the stuff. "Hey sweetie did you make any new friends?" He asked, smiling, sweating from the hard work. "Good dad, I became Stacy's friend. But…" Amanda placed her hand behind her neck. "I kicked a girl in the face" "You did what?" Her dad was starting to take off his belt. "Wait it was for a good reason. It was because the girl was a babysitter and promised to take care of my brother. But I found out she was abusing him." "How?" "I heard him screaming while there was a lot of beating sounds.
Her dad lowered his belt. "But why the hell would you lend your brother to strangers? In fact, give me your wallet and you're still getting 10 across the ass just for that. But where is this girl?" "Up on an abandoned hill." "A stranger you meet that takes care of kids in an abandoned hill is abuse. Wow who would've known if they were not a dumbass thought before they did. Once the TV comes you won't be able to use it." Amanda was now looking down holding back tears. "I'll confront this person tomorrow. For now, go to your room and wait for me, thank God I brought a first aid kit.
Amanda went upstairs and into her room where she saw nothing but her suitcase and a clean mattress on the floor with her blanket. She also noticed that there was a pile of some of her favorite books her dad must've packed for her. She plopped down on the mattress wiping tears from her eyes and after she finished crying there was silence. She could only hear whimpers of Jeremy probably having to have antiseptic rubbed on him.
Amanda sighed with some small tears still forming in her eyes, she slowly picked up one of her favorite books, The Giver. And read it until she fell asleep.
The next day she woke up early where light was cracking through the window onto her face. She got up and yawned and got out of bed and walked out of her room where she saw Jeremy that still had some bruises on her cheeks.
"L-look Jeremy I didn't mean to" "Why didn't you hewp me?" Amanda on the verge of tears started to sob. And she dropped to her knees. Jeremy slowly walked to her and hugged her until she wiped all the tears from her eyes.
