Chapter 10

• "Move bitch!" My father shouted at me, and he slapped me across the face. I was shell shocked. My ears were ringing and for a moment all I could hear was the ringing. My jaw was throbbing hard, and I opened my jaw to stretch out and loosen the pain. It was so sudden that I didn't even see it coming. My hair fell across my face and I brought my hand up to my cheek. I brushed the hair of my face and looked at my Father who was still coming forward.
• Aidan stood up then and pushed my Father back.
• I grabbed Zac's hand again and began pulling him towards the front door.
