Buckley's POV
That night, I found myself in a screaming match with my father. I was defending my baby sister. She was standing behind Bradley. Our father had overheard her tell us that she kissed her best friend.
Being the oldest, I've always taken all of hits, kicks, punches, cuts, cigarette burns, and roofied drinks.
My dad slammed me up against the wall. He wrapped his hands around my throat and started choking me. He lifted me me off the ground. I was trying to rip his hands off me.
"DAD! GET OFF HIM!"
"FRANK STOP!"
"DAD STOP! HIS FACE IS TURNING BLUE!"
"DADDY STOP!! PLEASE! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!"
Bradley jumped onto his back and put him in a chokehold. Our father didn't let go of me. His grip only got tighter.
"YOU'RE GONNA KILL HIM! LET HIM GO!"
"NO! HE NEEDS TO LEARN HIS PLACE!"
I started clawing at his face.
My eyes started getting heavy and I felt myself losing air. When my eye closed, my arms fell to the side. My body was completely limp. I felt my father drop me. I fell to the ground and landed on my side.
I heard bones crack but didn't know which bones made the noise.
Goddamnit...
I shouldn't told her.
I should've said that...
I love her...
I should've said it!
