Lie to Me // Part One.

And here it is, right on time(: I may decide not to stop this after 4 parts, and instead make it into a fulll series, but I think 4 or 5 parts is going to be enough. I hope you like it!

My name is Elizabeth Logan Martin. Im 17 years old. Ive lived my life much differently, I guess you could say, that most 17 year old girls have.

In those 17 years a lot has happened. Where can I start? How about the source of the problem. My father.




My father gambles, does drugs, comes home drunk almost every night, and is abusive to my mother and I.

My mother got pregnant at 15, lost the baby, got pregnant again at age 17, and had me. Right before I was born, my mom was forced into a marriage with my father.

He would come home in the wee hours of the night, stumble down the narrow hallway leading to his room. He would go inside, then beat my mother until he passed out.




Being a little girl living right across the hall from your parents room, it was a little hard to ignore the agonizing screams of pain and cries for help.




After years of this, one night alone, vividly kept replaying in my mind.




My dad came home at 3:14am, completely wasted. I was 14 at the time. By then I had grown used to being awake at night, so like always, I was lying in bed watching movies.




I heard the front door slam shut, ran to my mothers room, climbed into the bed with her, and barely had enough time to warn her before he came crashing into the room.




My mom had attempted to call the police many times, but my father soon unplugged the phone lines and threatened to kill me if we tried to reach them any other way.




2 hours after my dad had arrived that night, he was passed out on the bathroom floor, and my mother and I were tightly holding onto one another in her bed, sobbing.




She was covered in purple bruises, with multiple red slap marks covering her face.




Awhile ago my father had forbidden us to leave the house, so no one ever saw my mothers bruises, and so no one I knew ever found out. I was homeschooled online, and my mother didnt work. We depended on dads money to pay our bills. My mother had to order food to be brought to the door every so often, so we didnt starve.




I fell asleep that night in my mothers arms with tears still streaming down my face.

The next morning when I woke up, my father was gone and my mother was sitting on the couch watching the morning news, holding an ice pack to her stomach and pale, red face.




I told her I was going to take a shower, and walked away.




I remember sitting on the floor of the shower, crying, and allowing the water to soak me. That night was the first night I had ever personally witnessed my father hurt my mother like that.




An hour of sitting on the shower floor crying was all I could handle.




I climbed out of the shower and threw on a white pair of sweats with a gray tank top. I pulled my dripping wet hair into a messy ponytail and went to talk to my mother.




She wasnt in the living room; no problem, she probably went to get something to eat.

She wasnt in the kitchen; its okay, she may have just gone to take a short catnap.




She wasnt in her bedroom; where on earth did my mother go?!




I checked the final place I could think to find her.




Was she in the bathroom? Search is over; I found her. Didnt think Id find her the way I did though...




I looked down, brought my hand to my mouth, and took in what I saw.




It was my mom, lying on the tiled bathroom floor with a pair of sewing scissors by her hand, covered in blood, dead.

Part 2 will be uploaded Friday, December 11th. And I know I said I was going to use clips & voice overs, but I decided to go with this. Hope it's still okay(:
AND, sorry it's written all weird. This was the only way YT would allow me to upload showing where the paragraphs begin&end.
