Don't Let Them Grind You Down

Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall

Frank POV

The door slammed open and revealed the angry face of Jeff.

"Your mother told me about your tantrum!"

"It wasn’t a tantrum, she passed the line! And it's none of your business!" I spat

Next Jeff was in my face.

"Don't you dare talk back to me!" his bad breath reached my nose and made me want to puke.

"Why not?" I demanded

Jeff was fast, and I wasn't expecting it. He grabbed my neck and threw me into the wall, not letting go

"Get off me you bastard!" I yelled while trying to get his hands from around my neck

"That's no way to speak to your future step dad, is it?" He smirked tightening his grip

"There's no way my Mom would even consider marrying a jerk like you!" I screeched, feeling my lungs getting light from the lack of air.

"Oh, you mean she hasn't told you? The weddings in a couple of months!" he laughed

"No!" I gasped

"Oh I’m afraid so, so now on, you'll be calling me Dad!"

"Like hell I will!

That was it, his grip was too tight, and I couldn't breath. My eyes were starting to water. My lungs felt like they were on fire, I could feel my heart pumping through my veins, even that was becoming painful.

He just watched me squirm and laughed.

"Pathetic little emo" he mocked

He shot some other insults at me but his voice was sounding distant. And then my mind faded from reality into a world of darkness.
