Chapter 1: Mom Leaving Family Monique and Jessica were sleeping until they heard their parents arguing in the living room. Jessica
got up out of bed and walked to her sister’s bed scared. She started to wake her up. Paulella woke up and looked at her sister being tired. “Jessica you okay?” Paulella asked her. Jessica nodded no and wiped her tears off with her hands. Paulella wiped her eyes. “What’s wrong? Why did you wake me up this early sis?” Paulella asked. “Mommy and daddy are fighting.” Jessica told her while pointing at the door. Paulella looked at the door confused while hearing them arguing. Paulella got up out of bed while they both hold hands walking to the door. The opened up the door a little bit for both of them to see what was going on. “I don’t have anything to say to you. You turned into a nightmare that I didn’t expect.” Christina said being ashamed of him. “You turned into a know it all girl that I don’t like.” Antonio diss back at her. “I’m a know it all girl Tony? Christina asked while pointing her finger at her chest. “You heard me.” Antonio answered quickly. “No say it again then. If you’re not scared. I’m a know it all?” Christina asked him again demanding him for an answer. “Technically, yeah you are.” Tony got back at her with. “How am I acting like that?” Christina wanted to know. “You think what I do is not good for the family. And everything you do is. Well guess what, it’s not true.” Tony told her getting angry. “The only reason why I said that is because you barely get to spend time with your wife and kids.” Christina said getting frustrated. “I do see my kids when they need me. I get money. That’s why I bought this house for my family.” Antonio responded. “You act like I don’t do anything in this house. I do work in the ER. So we both bought this house, together.” Christina said. “I can’t take this no more, I’m leaving.” Antonio told her getting angry. But Christina grabbed his arm and he looked at her funny. “You’re not going anywhere. We need you. You can’t just walk out on us. If you do, then you’re not a real man.” Christina told him upset. “Get your damn hands off me. Don’t ever touch me like-.” Antonio yelled while getting her arm off him but he was interrupted. They both looked at their kids. Tears were running down Jessica’s and Paulella’s eyes. Their father walked up to them and kneed down to them. He wiped their tears off with his hand while trying to have them stop crying calmly. “Please don’t cry. Y’all are my beautiful babies. Some parents have to go through these things like this. That’s how marriages are sometimes.” Antonio tried talking to them like he cared about his kids. “Are you going to leave us?” Jessica asked her father. “Daddy might have to leave for a while so things can get better.” Their father revealed to them. “Will you come back?” Paulella asked him. He looked at her and Jessica. Then looked at their hands and kiss them, and hold them tightly. He looked back up at them. “Yes. I will never leave my kids behind. That’s a promise from me to you both.” Tony told them and gave them a kiss on their forehead. “You don’t have to lie to the girls for them to get happy.” Christina said getting mad at him for lying. Antonio got so frustrated that he put the girls back in the room and shut the door behind him. “Why you can’t just shut up for once? I was having a good conversation with the kids until you ruined it. And I didn‘t lie.” Antonio told her mad. “Yes you did.” Christina told him “No I didn’t.” Antonio responded knowing that he didn’t lie. “You’re a liar.” Christina came at him with. “Don’t start with me.” Antonio warned her. “That’s what you are to me.” Christina said with a serious face on her.
“Alright then. I’m a liar. You right about that.” He responded with a smile. “It’s sad that your kids have to know sooner or later.” Christina told him disappointed with her arms folded. Tony was sitting on his living room couch looking at her. “You know what, you can say anything bad about me and it won’t hurt me. But,” Tony got up and walked up to her while she was getting scared about what he might do to her looking at each other. “I will get some respect in my house. If my children have to, so will you.” Tony told her. “I am your wife. Not a crack head from the streets.” Christina told him upset. “Oh well get over it.” Antonio responded sounding careless about it. “How are we suppose to have a marriage and you’re treating me like a slave?” Christina asked him so he can stop sounding like she was going to cry. He shrugged. “I don’t know figure it out since you a know it all.” Antonio responded like he didn’t care. “I can’t take this any more. I’m leaving you.” Christina said while trying to walk away. Tony got a hold of her arm so she won’t leave him. “You’re not leaving since I can’t leave either.” Tony responded making sure she won’t leave. Then he let her
go. “It’s a sad shame that I get married to a dummy like you. Other guys have wanted me from the start and I had to pick you.” Christina said feeling stupid. “Same here but with females. At least they’ll give me better sex in the bed than you.” Tony diss her with a smile knowing that he won the battle. Christina looked at him shocked of what he said. Had her mouth round like an O. Then she closed it. Nodded her head no. “This is, too much for me. I have to leave from you. And I’m taking the kids.” Christina told him while trying to walk to the kids’ bedroom. “You’re not taking the kids.” Tony told her getting frustrated. “What you just say?” Christina asked while turning around to look at him. “You heard me,” Tony said while walking up to Christina getting all up in her face. She was starting to get worried of what he might do. “You’re not taking my girls.” Tony responded. “They’re my girls too. You can’t take them away from me.” Christina yelled at him. “You’re the one that wants to leave me and my girls behind. So you can’t have them. Not now, not ever.” Tony told her in her face. Christina got so angry that she smacked him in the face. “I will do whatever it takes to keep my children and bring them with me.” Christina demanded. Then she walked upstairs to go the kids’ bedroom. Antonio followed her and grabbed her by the arm and pushed her to the ground. He kneed down by her and started punching her. Christina kneed him in the balls and fell off of her in pain. While she crawled to her daughter’s bedroom door, she tried reaching for the doorknob but Antonio got up and grabbed her leg and pulled her back to him. Antonio stood up and took off his belt. “When you don’t do things that I say, this is the consequences.” Antonio told her getting angry. “Please don’t do this Tony.” Christina cried out while he was getting a tight grip on the belt and let go of her foot. Tony started wouping his wife while she cried out in pain for help. Begging him to stop. He kept doing it. She was bleeding and dragged herself to the door closer by her arms. But Antonio turned her around and got on top of her while covering her mouth. “Don’t you dare say a word and try to do something girl.” Antonio warned her. He unzipped his pants and pulled it down and he took off her underwear and starts to rape her. She was crying while it happened. After he was done, he zipped up his pants and got off of her. He stood up looking down at Christina panting. “Now you will do as I say. Won’t you?” Antonio asked her. No response from her and he walked to his bedroom and went to sleep, while Christina was still on the ground staring out in space. A while later, Paulella and Jessica was sleeping until their mom opened their door and walked to the bed, waking up Jessica and Paulella. “Sweetie? Girls wake up. I got to talk to you, it’s really important. Please get up for me.” Christina said. Paulella got up and looked at mom. So did Jessica. “Mom what’s going on?” Paulella asked wiping her eyes so she won’t be sleepy. “We’re going to be leaving daddy for a while until he gets better.” Christina told them. “What’s happening?” Jessica asked her mom scared. “Your dad is starting to hit on me. And if he gets use to it then he’s going to start hitting on you guys. I don’t want that to happen to my girls.” Christina told them frightened about it. “Don’t worry about it mom. He won’t do that to us. Okay?” Paulella asked her to have her mom not become scared about it. “Okay sweetie I love you both.” Christina told them wiping her tears. “Love you too mom.” Paulella responded. “Me too.” Jessica responded. Until their dad came in the room and snatched Christina by the arm. “I told you before you are not taking my kids.” Antonio told her getting angry at her for not following the rules. “Let me go Tony! I can take them if I want to.” Christina cried out so he can let her go. “Daddy please let her go. I don’t want you guys fighting.” Paulella begged her dad to let her mom go while getting out of bed. “Paulella please don’t start, I don’t want you in this. I love you too much for you to do that. Stay out of this.” Tony warned his daughter. He looked at his wife. “And you haven’t learnt your lesson yet. Huh?” Tony asked her getting a tighter grip on her arm. She was in pain and worried that she might get beaten in front of her kids. “So you gonna beat me in front of our kids?” Christina asked him having tears run down her cheeks scared. They both look at their kids. Antonio looked back at Christina because he didn’t care. “I’m a beat you, but not in front of the kids. They don’t need to witness the hell I’m about tot do to you.” Tony responded. “Don’t do this-.” Christina cried out but he interrupted her. “Shut up! I don’t want to hear it. Accept the consequences.” Antonio told her. He started dragging her while she was crying out for him to stop. Paulella quickly ran to them and stopped them. “Daddy please, don’t hurt mommy. We can’t take it anymore.” Paulella cried out. “You will understand someday Paulella trust me.” Antonio tried telling her so she can let go of them. He kept dragging her but Paulella was trying to take his hands off her mom, while Christina was crying so was Paulella. Antonio was yelling at Paulella to let go and he pushed her back in her room and her sister started crying and ran to her. “Stay in your room Paulella. I’m not going to repeat myself.” Antonio demanded. He slammed the door shut and dragged his wife to their bedroom and slammed the door. He started to beat on her while she was crying out for help and begging him to stop. Then she started to scream. Paulella and Jessica hold each other tight in their arms while crying. Time passed by and Paulella was playing holla hoop with Jessica. Jessica stopped and walked to her to see if she was okay. “Paulella you still upset about what happened to you this morning?” Jessica asked her. “Yeah. I was just trying to help. He didn’t have to push me.” Paulella responded. “I’m worried that dad might start hitting on us.” Jessica told her. “Don’t say that. Don’t you ever say that again. You hear me?” Paulella told her while she gave her sister a hug not to do it again. “I’m sorry Paulella.” Jessica told her sister. “It’s okay.” Paulella responded. Paulella hold her sister close until they heard breaking dishes and arguing from their parents. Christina and Antonio started walking outside to their kids. “I can’t be in this house another day until you stop hitting on me.” Christina yelled at him. “Fine then you stupid hoe. Get the hell out of my house and don’t come back either.” Antonio yelled back at her. He saw that she was trying to take the girls and grabbed her arm while she was trying to get away from him. Jessica was crying while walking to her and mom and dad begging him to stop. He was hitting on his wife. “Daddy stop hitting on mommy.” Jessica cried out. Jessica walked closer until Antonio accidentally hit Jessica with his elbow trying to hit Christina. He looked back at her and she was bleeding from her nose. Tony kneed down by her and wrapped his arms around while having tears running down his face feeling guilty. “Jessica I’m so sorry. Please forgive me sweetheart.” Tony said sounding guilty. Christina got Jessica away from him and put her in the car. Then Christina walked back in the house while Tony followed her trying to have them stay. Christina and Tony were in their room packing her things. Walking back and fourth from the dresser to her suitcase with clothes in her hands packing them in her suitcase. “Christina I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hit her.” Tony confessed. “Shut up, I don’t want to hear it.” Christina yelled at him. “Just stay I can’t live without you.” Tony confessed. “But you can’t love me without hitting on me can you?” Christina got at him with giving him the look like she wants an answer. “It’s like that?” Tony asked her. “Yeah.” Christina said with an attitude. “I’m telling you the truth I didn’t mean to hit my daughter.” Tony told her. “How?” Christina wanted to know. “She was in my way trying to stop me.” Tony told her with his arms out looking like he was telling the truth. “She was trying to help her mom get away from you beating on me.” Christina yelled at him. Christina walked to her kids’ bedroom and packed all of Jessica’s things. Tony followed her. “I won’t do it again.” Tony tried telling her. “You’re a liar.” Christina called him out. “I’m not lying to you.” Tony told her sounding like he was inasant. Christina got her things and Jessica things and put them in the car. Then she walked back in put her jacket and purse on in the living room and looked at Tony. “Don’t leave me please.” Tony begged his wife by walking up to her and getting a hold of her arms with his hands. But she pushed them off and pushed him away from her. “It’s too late Tony.” Christina told him upset. “I’ll do anything for you and Jessica to stay.” Tony tried telling her but she wouldn’t fall for it. “You should’ve thought about that before you started hitting on me.” Christina said. Then she went to the kitchen and got a piece of paper towel and wiped the blood off her face. Looked at her husband. “What’s the use of me staying? It’s not like you’re going to change for me and the kids.” Christina responded. “Yes I can.” Tony said. “How?” Christina asked with a serious look on her face. Having one hand on her hip and all the weight on her left leg. “In a lot of ways.” Tony said while walking up to her. “Look into my eyes and tell me you will.” Christina demanded. “I can’t do that.” Tony told her with so much guilt in his heart. “Why not?” Christina asked looking confused at him. “You won’t believe me.” Tony tried telling her. “How do you know if I will or not?” Christina asked. “I know you Christina. You’re my wife.” Tony said with a blank face. “Not anymore. I’m filling for a divorce Tony.” Christina told him. Tony got so angry that he banged his fist against the cabinet while looked at somewhere else in the house. Then looked back at her when he was done. “How you going to do this to me? I love you really much. That’s why I married you.” Tony cried out wanting her back. “Like I’m supposed to believe that.” Christina told him. “Just give me a chance please baby.” Tony begged her. “You know what I made a lot of mistakes in my life. But this is the worst one I ever made.” Christina tells him. Tony could do nothing but just look at her in guiltiness. Jessica was outside with Paulella wiping off the blood off her face with a small face towel. “I’m sorry all this happened.” Jessica told her feeling sorry about the whole situation. “I was just trying to help mom get away from daddy.” Jessica said confessing. “You did the right thing too. I should’ve been the one to get hit instead of you.” Paulella tried telling her. “It’s okay Paulella. You care about mom just as much as I do.” Jessica said to help her sister feel less guilty. “Are you going to be okay?” Paulella asked changing the subject. “Yeah I’ll be fine with this.” Jessica responded getting done with wiping the blood off her face. They both laughed. “Just remember I love you.” Paulella told her showing her love. “Love you too sis.” Jessica responded. Paulella gave her sister a hug showing her that she cares about her. “I can’t support you. Not even this marriage.” Christina told him shrugging her shoulders. “What tough love.” “Tough love? You gave me abusive love.” “I can’t fight back?” “You’re not supposed to hit a woman.” “You hit me first.” “It’s a major difference.” “Fine then Nina just leave.” “I’m a go. But if you lay one hand on my daughter while I’m gone with Jessica. I promise you going to wish you were in hell yourself when I get through with you.” Christina told him upset getting all up in his face pointing her finger in his face. “We’ll see about that.” “You won’t change at all. You the hell that came from the devil himself.” Christina told him. She opened the front door and walked out and kneed down in front of Paulella by the car. “Paulella, we’re going to be leaving for a while. But I promise I will come back for you.” Christina told her sounding like she wanted her daughter to understand what she was telling her. Paulella took a deep breath. “Okay mom.” Paulella responded understanding what her mom had to do. “I love you.” Christina said wanting her daughter to smile. “I love you too.” Paulella said while she smiled. “Don’t forget to get me. I don’t want to be left here all by myself.” Paulella said about to cry. “I promise I won’t.” She gave her daughter a kiss. Christina gave her a hug while Paulella’s smile went to a frown because she knew her mom was not going got come back for her. Then her mom got in the car and her and Jessica closed their door. Her mom was pulling out of the driveway until she looked at Paulella and blows her a kiss. Paulella caught it and then waved at her sister while her mom drove off until she couldn’t see them anymore. Tears ran down her face and she wiped them. She walked in the house and closed the front door. Saw her father cleaning up the mess they made in the house. “Daddy is you okay?” Paulella asked. “No, I’m not sweetie.” Tony responded. He wiped his tears and finished cleaning. Until he saw that Paulella was helping him and he was surprised. “Paulella you don’t have to help me. You know that, right?” Tony told her so she know and not think she’s taken advantage. But Paulella didn’t think that and smiled at her dad. He looked at her. “It’s fine dad. You had a stressful dad. Well, we both did. I’m suppose to help you. You’re my dad and I’m the daughter. And I love you.” Paulella told him smiling sounding that she said it from the heart and meant it. Tony smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead. They finished cleaning up the house. They watched a movie laughing. Ate dinner together talking about things. Prayed together. Paulella was upstairs in her room getting ready to sleep. Her dad was in there getting her tucked in. She looked at him smiling. “Okay dad I love you.” Paulella wanted to tell him. “Love you too. Sweet dreams baby girl.” Tony responded smiling at her. “Dad?” Paulella asked getting his attention. “Yes sweetie?” Tony asked wanting to know what she wanted. “Will mom come back for us?” Paulella asked hoping for an answer. “I don’t know baby. We’ll find out one day.” Tony responded with a good answer. “Just wondering.” Paulella told him getting sleepy. She yawned. He knew that was her time to go to sleep. “Uh oh you know what that means.” Tony told her making sure she was tucked in. “Yep. That means bedtime.” Paulella said sounding happy. “That’s right.” Tony responded. He walked to the switches by the door and looked at his daughter that he only had in the house with him. “Paulella,” Tony told her wanting to tell her something real quick. “Yes dad?” Paulella tried to figure see what he wanted to say. “Always remember that I love you okay?” “I know that. I want you to know that I love you too.” Paulella responded. “Goodnight.” Tony said with a smile for the answer that her daughter gave him. “Goodnight.” Paulella told him. Tony turned off the lights and closed the door while she was sleeping. Then he went to bed himself.

Chapter 2: Hits Paulella 4 years later, Paulella turns 16 years old. Paulella was outside waiting for her friends to come to school. Then she went inside to get her things from her locker. Until Tracey walked up to her upset. “I thought I told you to wait for me.” Tracey told her trying to figure out what happened. “15 minutes wasn’t enough. I’ll try to work on it. Not going to happen.” Paulella said then gave her friend a smile. “You cold girl.” Tracey said laughing. Paulella looked her picture of her, her mom, dad, and sister Jessica. She kissed her two fingers and put it on Jessica and her mom Christina. Then she closed her locker feeling down about it. “Don’t worry about it P. They’ll come back for you.” Tracey said trying to give her joy. “No they won’t.” Paulella said sounding sad because she knew the truth. “How do you know?” Tracey asked her getting tired of her bringing herself down and lying about it. “It’s been years since they said that. That’s how I know.” Paulella responded. “So.” Tracey told her sounding like she didn’t care how long it was. “So? They shouldn’t leave me behind if they weren’t going to come back for me.” Paulella told her friend knowing that they’re coming back for her in a long time. “Girl stop trippen. It’ll be alright okay?” Tracey said having her arm around her shoulders trying to give her some joy. Then she gave her a hug. Making sure she was okay. Paulella nodded until the bell rang and they both went to class. Mrs. Stone was sitting on her desk in front of the class. “Good mourning class. Today we are going to be talking about the Constitution. Does anybody know about it?” Mrs. Stone asked her class. People raised their hand. Paulella was one of them. Mrs. Stone picked on Paulella. “Yes Paulella.” Mrs. Stone called on her. Everyone else put their hands down. “It was mostly a freedom document. Wanting the US to change and become nice to other countries and ourselves. There was the Preamble, the 6 goals for the country. I mean there were a lot of things that worked to make what our country is today.” Paulella responded with a powerful answer. “Very good Paulella. Anybody else?” Mrs. Stone was impressed with her answer. Looking for someone else to call on. A while girl name Stacey raised her hand and Mrs. Stone picked on her. Stacey put her hand down. “The Constitution was nothing but a waste. I agree with the Anti-Federalists. They were right about not having the Constitution. It was a help for the black people to have more freedom. That’s why they came with the 3/5 Compromise.” Stacey told Mrs. Stone her answer. “It was never for black folks. Emmett Till, Rosa Parks, M.L. King, the Scottsboro Boys and all the other Civil Rights Leaders is what changed you white folks to start becoming nice to us in the first place. And they helped us to have us black people have freedom. So don’t try to start with this racial crap.” Paulella got back at her with. People clapped their hands and whistled for her. “What a nigga.” Stacey said to Paulella sounding like she didn’t care. “What you say?” Paulella asked her looking at her with a serious look wanting her to say something stupid. Getting all up in her face and tightening up her fist. “You heard me. You are a nigga. So is every other black person in this class. There I said it. Now what you going to do?” Stacey asked trying to have Paulella get more depressed. “Oh shit.” Mrs. Stone said to herself because she knew what Paulella was going to do and once she does it no one can’t stop her. Paulella punched her and got into a fight while people were making noises and side comments about it while they fought. All of a sudden, she was sitting in the principle’s office talking to Principle Lee. He closed his office door, sat at his desk and looked at Paulella in a disappointment. “How many times do I have to tell you to ignore ignorant folks like Stacey?” Principle Lee asked her. “Millions of times I know but I can’t help it. That was too much for her to say. Trust me if you were in my shoes, you would’ve done the same thing that I did.” Paulella tried telling him. “Fine then. I’m giving you a warning. Detention for 3 days. Stacey will have I.S.S. for a week.” Principle Lee looked to see if anybody was looking or listening then he look at Paulella. “I’m letting you slide easily. So don’t push it.” Paulella got up and look at him. “My pleasure Mr. Lee.” Paulella sounding sassy. Gave him a wink and walked out of his office with a smile. Paulella’s friends waited for her by the office and Paulella had walked up to them smiling. “Girl what did Principle Lee tell you?” Carla asked her. “I hope you you’re not suspended.” Tracey said sounding upset. “If you are and she not I will cut them.” Tracey said sounding crazy. “Even if I was and she wasn’t you wasn’t going to cut a damn thang.” Paulella told her looking like she was all that and she knew her friend wasn’t going to do anything. “And calm down Left Eye, I’m not suspended.” Paulella told her so she can calm down. “I was about to say, get Tupac up in here.” Tracey said relieved about it. Done acting crazy. They all laughed. “I got a detention for 3 days and Stacey has I.S.S. for a week.” Paulella told them. “That’s good enough.” Carla told them. “Yeah I know.” Paulella responded. They all went to their next class. School was over and Paulella was about to get on the bus. Until she heard a horn honk and it was her dad. Paulella walked to his car. “Hey dad.” Paulella said pretending like nothing happened in school today. “Don’t hi me Paulella.” Tony said to her sounding mad and smoking a cigarette. “What did I do?” Paulella asked sounding inasant. “You know damn well what you did.” Tony told her sounding angry. “It’s not that big of a deal.” Paulella tried telling him so he can stop yelling at her. “Get in the car.” Tony told her sounding like he didn’t want to hear her mouth because she was going to get in trouble at home. Paulella walked to the passenger door and got in the car and closed the door. Looking frustrated. “When we get home, you about to get it.” Tony tells her so she knows what’s about to go down at home. He drove off while Britney and Tracey watched them leaving the school to home. Tony and Paulella walked in the house and closed the door. He grabbed her by the arm. “Dad get your hands off me.” Paulella yelled out at him trying to get away from him. “No. You really stupid for beating up a girl over a stupid racial comment.” Tony said getting frustrated at her looking at her mean. “I had to. I couldn’t take it.” Paulella told him. “Ignore it stupid.” Tony told her knowing she sounding dumb to him. “You better get your hands off me.” Paulella tried warning him with. “Or what?” Tony asked her knowing that she won’t do anything. Paulella smacked him and ran upstairs to her bedroom and locked it. Tony tried opening the door while banging on the door. “Open this door. Open this door Paulella I’m not playing with you.” Tony yelled scaring her so she can open it getting serious. “Go away dad before I get the cops.” Monique screamed out so he can leave her alone. He banged the door even harder. Paulella screamed out scared. “What the cops going to do with me?” Tony asked getting a temper. “I’m a call mom and she going to get more than the cops on you.” Paulella yelled out at him. Tony was done trying to open the door. “Alright then. I see how it is.” Tony said while getting away from the door. “It not over. You going to regret it when you a step a foot out that bedroom. Don’t even think about coming out.” Tony said then he went to his room and closed the door to go to sleep. Paulella was relieved while panting, and slid down her against her door. Then her cell phone rang and it was her friend Tracey. She answered it “Hey girl. What’s popping?” Paulella asked then she panted. “Are you okay? You pant a lot. What happened before I called?” Tracey asked sounding worried about her. “We’ll talk later about it. It was tragic though.” Paulella responded and then took a deep breath and was done panting a lot. “Oh well you remember Emily Smith?” Tracey asked her. “Didn’t her house get set on fire last summer? And I though she was dead?” Paulella asked her sounding confused. “Naw girl she’s not dead. She was in a coma. Emily told a lot of people that she came back from the dead. But I think she was never dead at all. But anyways, she’s having a party and Emily invited us. I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house. Britney coming over too. So what do you say?” Tracey asked her hoping she say yes and come over. Having her fingers crossed. “Fine then. I’ll be over there.” Paulella responded. “Yes! I knew you would say yes.” Tracey said happy and excited. “Yeah yeah whatever.” Paulella said about to hang up. Then she rolled her eyes. “Oh, do you want an outfit or are you going to bring your own?” Tracey asked just to make sure. “It doesn’t matter.” Paulella told her sounding like she didn’t care. “I’ll take that as a yes. See you in a little bit.” Tracey said before she hung up. “Alright then. Bye!” Paulella said pretending to be excited. They both hung up and Paulella was nervous on how she was going to leave the house. Paulella looked up at the ceiling talking to God. “Lord, bless me to sneak out the house for once. So I can get away from my dad. And bless me to have a great time at the party. Amen.” Paulella prayed. She closed her eyes and opened it back up. She got ready and had her purse hanging off her arm. Paulella got nervous about leaving and started walking to the door slowly. Slowly opened the door and fit her head through the crack and looked at her father’s door. It was still closed and silent in his bedroom. She exhaled her nervous out. Started to tip toe downstairs to the front door until she heard noise from upstairs. But it was nothing, she open the front door and quickly got out the house and shut the door. Paulella was happy and looked up at God. “Thank you Lord I owe you.” Paulella told him. Paulella started making her way to her house until her dad was in the living room looking out the window looking at Paulella walking to her friend’s house. “When she come home, I’m a give her so much hell that God going to have to take me out this world and bring me there himself.” Tony told himself and went back to sleep. Paulella got to her friend’s house and rang her doorbell. Her friend opened it and let her in. They both walked to her bedroom. Picking outfits for the party. “So please tell me what happened with your father.” Tracey said wondering what happened. “My dad found out that I got detention and I slap him. Even though he had the right to discipline me but he was going too far. I had to do something about it. And he told me not to come out of my room. So I snuck out.” Paulella confessed to her. “Why didn’t you tell me that you snuck out? I would’ve told you to stay home.” Tracey told her sounding shocked about it. “He was going to beat me even more. I had to leave. I knew I should’ve stayed home but I had to leave. When I come back I’m going to get some worst hell from him. Damn, why did I do that?” Monique felt stupid and sounded guilty. Tracey smacked her lip and sat next to her on the edge of her bed. She put her arm around her. “It’s okay girl. Next time don’t do that again. I don’t want you getting in trouble like that. Just be honest with me and he’ll understand okay?” Tracey told her sounding like she forgave her already and wanted to have fun. Paulella nodded and gave her friend a hug. Tracey got ready for the party. Paulella, Tracey, and Britney were walking to Emily’s house and there were a lot of people at her house. They walked in and saw Emily. Emily walked up to them exited. “Hey girls! I’m glad you made it. So you guys having fun?” Emily asked super happy. “We just got here. So I hope it is fun.” Tracey told her. “Oh my bad sister. I mean, Tracey.” Emily told her. “Stop trying to act black white girl.” Tracey told her with an attitude. Emily looked at her pretending she didn’t hear that. “Well you guys have fun now. I’ll talk to you later.” Emily said then she walked off. Paulella and Britney looked her at disappointment. “Girl why did you have to say that? And she invited you? You need to say sorry to her because that wasn’t right.” Paulella told her. “She’s just showing off because people feel sorry for her. And that wasn’t her before her house got set on fire. Now she wants to act black.” Tracey told them with an attitude. “It doesn’t matter just leave her alone. And so what if she acts black let her be. It’s good that white folks want to act like us so we can have more peace.” Britney responded back upset at her. “Let’s go get something to drink.” Paulella told Britney. They both walked away from Tracey to the kitchen so they can get a drink. Paulella saw a boy looking at her and checking her out. Paulella was blushing. He waved at her and she waved back until she walked back to the dance floor. But the guy cut her off and smiled at her. Paulella was nervous and didn’t know what to do. Emily and Britney were watching them. So was Tracey. “Hey.” The boy told her nicely. “Hey.” Paulella responded sounding nervous. “How you doing?” The boy asked her making sure she was okay. “Good. How about you?” Paulella asked. “Cool. Hanging out with my home boys.” He responded. “That’s good.” Paulella said and swallowed real hard. He realized that she was nervous. “Are you okay? I can tell you nervous.” He asked her with a smile. “Yeah I am. You just so fine.” Paulella confessed to him. “Thanks, so are you.” He said while he holds her hand. She looked at their hands holding together and then back at him. He smiled. “Um, do you want to dance with me?” He asked her. “Yeah let’s do that.” Paulella responded. He laughed and started dancing with her. “By the way my name is Anthony.” Anthony told her. “Paulella. Nice to meet you.” Paulella told him. “You too.” Anthony responded and they kept dancing. A while later, the party was over and everybody went home. Paulella, Tracey, and Britney were waiting outside hanging outside with each other. They were talking about the party until Anthony walked up to them. “Hey girls.” Anthony told them with a smile on his face. “Hey. Oh, were you looking for your girlfriend Paulella?” Tracey asked while she, Britney and Anthony looked at her. “Shut up Tracey.” Paulella told her and rolled her eyes at her while the laughed. Then she smiled at Anthony. “Hey Anthony.” Paulella told him sounding happy to see him. “Hey Paulella.” Anthony responded. “We going to leave y’all two alone and we’ll talk tomorrow about everything.” Britney said while she gave her a hug. So did Tracey and they both look at Anthony. “Nice to meet you Anthony.” Tracey said. “Nice to meet you girls too.” Anthony responded waving at them goodbye. They both walked home. Anthony walked up to Paulella and she started to get nervous again. “Are you nervous again?” Anthony asked her. “Yeah I know that’s okward but I can’t help it.” Paulella confessed. “It’s okay. You’ll get use to being by yourself with me soon.” Anthony responded. “Cool.” Paulella responded with a smile. They started walking while they were talking. “So you like LA?” Anthony asked her looking at her. “Yeah I like it. It’s real cool but crazy with a lot of things.” Paulella responded with her head down. “Oh cool then. I’m from Compton. But I moved in this city because Compton got too many people dying over there. That’s why I can’t wait until I graduate. Become a NBA player, and move to Atlanta and bring my family with me so I won’t leave them behind.” Anthony told her. “That’s beautiful.” Paulella responded. “Thanks.” He looked at her because she was down. “Are you okay girl?” Anthony asked her looking at her to make sure she was okay. “Not really. I’m having a good time talking to you and everything but I’m just upset.” Paulella told him while looking at him. “What’s wrong?” Anthony asked her. “Me and my dad got into a bad argument. And I snuck out just to come to this party and be away from him.” Paulella told him sounding stupid. “Why did you do that?” Anthony asked her. “My friend asked me that same question. I didn’t mean to I just had to get away from him.” Paulella confessed. “When you come home daddy fit to get you.” Anthony said trying to scare her. “Whatever Anthony. Now you making me feel stupid and guilty.” Paulella told him sounding sad. “I’m sorry P. I won’t say anything about it anymore. Sorry to hear that though.” Anthony told her. “It’s okay Anthony. At least somebody understands.” Paulella told him. “I have been meaning to tell you this. But I really like you and I want to go out with you.” Anthony told her afraid of what her answer might be. “Sure I wouldn’t mind.” Paulella responded. “Yes.” Anthony whispered to himself. Then they got to his car. Paulella liked the car that she fell in love with it. “Oh my goodness I love this car. It’s so shiny and beautiful. You drive this?” Paulella asked him with a smile. “Yeah. My dad got this for me. It was the best present ever.” Anthony responded. “I didn’t know you drive.” Paulella told him. “Of course you didn’t know that. You just met me.” Anthony told her and he laughed. So did Paulella. “That was stupid of me to say that.” Paulella told him. “It’s okay we all have our moments.” Anthony said and they both laughed. “Well I got to go home right now. I’m really tired from partying with you and my friends.” Anthony told her. “Oh well I have to go home too. So I’ll see you later.” Paulella told him and started walking. But Anthony got a hold of her arm and she looked at him. “Do you need a ride home?” Anthony asked her. “No I’m okay. For real I’m fine.” Paulella told him blushing. “We’re going out now, so technically I should take you home. It’s some crazy people in this city. Don’t be afraid of me, I won’t bite. I’ll protect you because I’m your man.” Anthony said with a smile. “Fine then you can take me home.” Paulella told him. “Thank you too. I really appreciate it.” Paulella told him with a smile. “You’re welcome. Sit back relax, and enjoy the ride.” Anthony told her. They both laughed and he starts his car. Then he drove to her house. He pulled up in the driveway and put his car in park. Then he looked at her. Making sure she was okay. “You okay?” Anthony asked her. “Yeah. Just worried of what I’m about to face with when I step in that house.” Paulella responded. “It’ll be alright. You got to face it and deal with it. Like I have to deal with my little sister.” Anthony responded. They both laughed. “You funny.” Paulella said and laughed. “Can I have your number?” Anthony asked her. “Yeah. Let me get your number too.” Paulella told him. They both exchanged phones and put their numbers in the cell phone. Then after they were done they exchanged back their cell phones. “Well I hope you had a good time.” Anthony told her while Paulella was getting ready to leave. “I did.” Paulella responded. Until she realize she forgot her purse at Emily’s house. “Oh no.” Paulella said sounding worried. “What’s wrong?” Anthony asked her seeing what was going on. “I forgot my purse at Emily’s house. Damn.” Paulella responded and lay against her seat with her eyes closed then she looked at Anthony. “I can go and get it for you.” Anthony told her to make her happy. “Thank you so much.” Paulella said relieved with a smile. “You welcome.” Anthony responded. Then out of nowhere he leaned toward her and started kissing her. And then they stop and looked at each other smiling. “Love you baby girl.” Anthony told her smiling. “Love you too.” Paulella smiled back. “Have a goodnight.” Anthony told her while she was getting out the car. “You too. Talk to you later.” Paulella responded while looking at him after she got out the car. “Okay. See you tomorrow.” Anthony told her. Then she walked to the front door and he pulled out the driveway and honks her horn while he drove off. She waved at him until she couldn’t see him anymore. Paulella realized the door was unlocked and she walked in. She saw her dad sitting on the couch and she closed the door. Didn’t look at him but he was looking at her with a serious face. “Where have you been Paulella?” Tony asked her angry. “I was at a party.” Paulella responded sounding worried. “When I told you not to leave this house?” Glenn asked her. “You said not to leave my room.” Paulella corrected him. “It’s still the same thing.” Glenn responded with an angry tone while he got up. “Okay dad I’m home so can I go to my room?” Paulella asked trying to walk to the stairs. But Glenn cut her off and she got scared. “You’re not going anywhere until I get done with you.” Glenn said angry. Paulella didn’t know what to expect from her dad. Until he smacked her. She falls to the ground and had her hand on her cheek and looked at her dad. “Dad please let me go to my room. I won’t do it again.” Paulella cried out. “No I’m not finished yet.” Glenn told her while taking off his belt and getting it ready to whip Paulella. Glenn started hitting her with the belt while she started crying and yelling out for him to stop. But Paulella kicked him his leg and fell to the ground. She quickly got up while her father got up and she ran upstairs while her dad followed her. They got halfway and her dad pulled her shirt and they both fell down the stairs. Glenn and Paulella were in pain and he dragged himself to her and turned her around. He punched her and blood came out her mouth and got on the carpet. “Look what you did. You got blood on my carpet.” Glenn told her upset. He smacked her and she kneed him the balls. She pushed him off her and he was on the ground in pain. Paulella slowly got up because she was bruised up and ran upstairs. Her dad got up and ran upstairs but skipped a step and fell on the ground. “C’mon dad come and get me.” Paulella yelled at him. “When I catch I’m a whip your ass.” He got up and Paulella ran in her room and locked it. He tried opening the door but couldn’t. Then he kicked it open. Paulella screamed and he grabbed her and started hitting on her while she was crying. “Dad please stop!” Paulella cried out getting abused. “Don’t you ever, in your life sneak out when I told you to stay in the house. You understand me?” Glenn yelled at her. “Yes I won’t do it no more. Now let me go.” Paulella cried out with her eyes tightly shut. Having her eyes tightly shut looking down. He let her go and started to walk towards the door but Paulella pulled out a knife from under her bed and headed towards her dad. He looked at her and realize she was about to cut him. He quickly grabbed her arm and turned her around so she can have her back face him. He pushed her to the bed and she fell on the bed. He pulled her onto the bed all the way and got on top of her. Having the knife pointed at her neck. “You trying to cut me?” Anthony asked Paulella. He cut her cheek and then her arm. She screamed out in pain and he covered her mouth. He pointed the knife to her neck while he had an angry face at here wanting to kill her. Paulella was scared of what her father might do to her. “I feel like killing you so bad P. But something is telling me not to. Don’t try to pull a knife out on me like that again. Because I will cut you and this time I won’t stop.” Antonio told her frustrated. Paulella was worried and he gave her another cut on her face. Paulella cried in pain while Glenn got off of her and threw the knife on the ground and he walked out of her bedroom. He went to sleep. Paulella got some tissue from the bathroom and wiped herself to get all the blod off her face. Until her phone rang and she ran back to her bedroom and see what is was. It was a text message from Anthony and Tracey. She opened it up from Tracey and it read: “Girl what’s going on?” Paulella responded saying: “We’ll talk about it tomorrow Tracey. It’s not the rite time. C u later.” Then she sent it to her. She open up Anthony and it reads: “I really enjoyed that kiss.

Anthony texted back by saying: “Okay © u 2. MUAH!” Paulella smiled and kissed her phone. Paulella was tired so she changed into her pajamas and turned off all the lights in the house and looked at her dad’s door. It was closed and he was sleeping silence coming from the room. She went into her bedroom and closed her door and went to sleep for the next day.

It was time for lunch and she walked by Anthony and his friends while trying to walkto her friend’s table. “Hey baby girl.” Anthony said while smiling at her and walking by her looking at her. “Hey Ant.” Paulella responded with a smile. Anthony went to his table and was talking about their relationship checking her out. Paulella went to her table and was looking down. Tracey caught her attention. “Hey miss lover. What’s going on with you? Why you so down?” Tracey asked her wanting to get in her business. “Nothing really. But what’s been going on with y’all two?” Paulella asked her. “Nothing going on with us two. But we see there’s a chemistry with you and Anthony over there.” Britney told her while pointing at Anthony and his friends at their table. Paulella looked at them and Anthony was looking at her smiling and then talking to his friends while he was looking at her Paulella was blushing. “Okay we have a chemistry but what’s the point y’all try to get at?” Paulella asked while eating her food. “What we trying to say is that you need to have him hit that. You been a virgin for years, now is the time for you to give it up.” Tracey said while smiling at her playing around with Britney. “Become a non-virgin like you? No I’ll take a pass. Besides, when the time is right, which is after marriage. I’ll give it up. Not when I’m in high school Left Eye.” Paulella got back at her with.

Tracey looked at Britney. “Something’s up.” Tracey whispered to Britney. Britney nodded and lunch was over. They all dumped their tray and was left the cafeteria until Tracey pulled Paulella aside to Briteny. They was upset at her. “What’s that?” Tracey asked her, having her next to Paulella against the wall and having her head down getting angry about the cut mark. “What’s what?” Paulella asked them back pretending she didn’t know what they were talking about. “Paulella don’t play dumb. What is that bruise on your face?” Britney asked her getting frustrated. “It’s nothing just don’t worry about it.” Paulella responded trying to walk away but Tracey pulled her back against the wall. “We supose to worry about it. We’re your friends.” Tracey told her looking at her upset. “Then just drop it if y’all my real friends.” Paulella tried telling them. “I hope Anthony ain’t hitting on you.” Tracey said getting mad. “How dare you say that.“ Paulella told him disappointed about what Tracey said. “Well you did met him for the first time.” Tracey said having a point. “That doesn’t mean he will hit on me.” Paulella responded getting upset at her friend’s comment. “My bad dang Paulella.” Tracey told her so she won’t get mad. “You barely know the guy and you talking mess like that.” Paulella told her getting frustrated. “We’ll I’m just trying to get to the bottom of this.” Tracey said. “You’re not my momma Tracey. Stay in a child’s place.” Paulella warned her. “Remember you use to have a mom? Now she left you. And how you going to tell me to stay in a child’s place and you’re one yourself?” Tracey asked her trying to get under her skin. “You going too far Tracey. At least my daddy wasn’t a crack head.” Paulella diss Tracey with. “Wow so old news. But he changed his life and now he’s a cop working for the LAPD. Making boo koo dollars.

With a teddy bear and a sorry note. So he cares for me. He keep on hitting me as long as I get that paper.” Paulella said flashing out her money out to Britney and Tracey. “You think you better than us but you’re not no where near to me. Not to Britney, not to nobody, not even me. You can’t get on my level little girl. You can go to daddy and tell him I said that because I’m not scared of no one.” Tracey said sounding crazy. “Well I got the flashy clothes, money and a nice house. So actually I am at your level. You just a wonna be bad girl so the world can revolve around you. But guess what it doesn’t. Then the other thing you should do is stop getting in my business.” Paulella responded back sounding like she was all that. “I’m just trying to help you out.” Tracey said with a attitude. “Well thanks but I don’t want it.” Paulella said because she knew this conversation was getting them no where. “Why you got to get mad at us?” Tracey asked her looking like she had an attitude. “Because you won’t drop it when I say to drop it.” Paulella got back at her with. “Then who is doing this to you? Please tell us.” Britney begged her. Hoping that she would tell the truth. “It was my father. He did this to me because I snuck out the house.” Paulella confessed. “That was real stupid to do. He had the right to beat your ass and do all that cutting’ stuff to you.” Tracey told her. Paulella gasp and laughed but she didn’t mean it. “I can’t believe you said that. You know what, don’t talk to me. I’m a be late for class.” Paulella told them trying to walk away but Tracey grabbed her arm. “You ain’t going no where until we get done with this.” Tracey said getting angry at her. Paulella looked at her and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Her own friend is putting her hands on her and acting just like her father. Now she knew that she had to fight back and tell her friend what the real deal is on not to put her hands on her. “We are done with it.” Paulella told her back at an angry tone. “And you better get your damn hands off me you crazy girl. I’m not playing with you. Do that one more time and I’m a knock you out.” Paulella threatened her. Until Tracey pushed her and then they was about tot fight talking mess to each other putting their fingers in their face and Britney had to push them away from each other. “I’m done with you Tracey. If you keep becoming the crazy girl that you is. Ain’t no way you going to make some friends. How you suppose to make it in this world and you acting crazy. You better stay away from me from now on.” Paulella warned her while walking away. “Fine then stupid hoe. See how fast your dad about to kill you if you don’t stop acting stupid and get away from him. See how much help you about to get from now.” Tracey yelled back at Paulella while Britney was holding her back.

He text back by saying: “No I’m not r u ok?” Anthony sent back to her. He got in the car and Paulella text back and it read: “Come over my house my dad is coming home late so u can come rite now if u like.” He text back saying. “Cool I’ll b there.” Anthony sent to Paulella. She text back n it said: “J © U!!” He smiled and he drove to her house. He parked his car on the side of the street and turned off his car. He got out the car and started walking to the front door. He looked at his car and pressed his lock button and his car beep. He got to the door and ranged the doorbell and waited for Paulella. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs and to the front door. He wanted to make sure it was Paulella. She open up the door and smiled so did Anthony. She gave him a good hug and he kissed her. “I thought it was your dad that was coming to the door. I was about to dip and go home.” Anthony told her happy. “I’m glad you’re here.” Paulella kissed him. “Because I really need to talk to you.” Paulella told him. “Okay then let’s talk.” Anthony told her and he picked her up and carried her upstairs to her bedroom and placed her on her bed. She started laughing while smiling. “That’s was real sweet Ant. I loved it.” Paulella said smiling. He climbed on top of her and started touching her and Paulella liked it. “I knew you would like it. I’m a sweetheart.” Anthony said trying to flirt with her. Paulella and Anthony got up and sat on her bed and looked at each other. “So what did you wanted to talk about?” Anthony asked her having his arm around her. “Well I just needed to talk to you about last night and today.” Paulella responded sounding guilty. “Oh yeah you was suppose to tell me what happened with you and your pops.” Anthony said with a smile. But Paulella had her head down and her eyes watery. Anthony lift her head up by his finger under her chin and realize that she was about to cry. “Baby what’s wrong? Did I say something out of pocket?” Anthony asked making sure he didn’t do anything wrong and wanted her to be happy again. “No it was never you. My dad and I got into an argument and he did something to me.” Paulella responded sounding sad. “What did he do?” Anthony asked trying to figure out what was going on and what her dad did to her. Paulella showed him the cut marks on her arm and face that her dad gave her yesterday night. Anthony was worried about what is going on with her relationship with her and her father. “Paulella are you okay? Your dad went too far.” Anthony asked worried about his girlfriend. “Yeah I’m fine but then my friend got into an argument trying to make fun of me and thinking my life is hell and their life is better than mine. So now me and Tracey don’t talk anymore. I’m just going through so much with things in my life. The bad thing about it, is that my mom doesn’t know about it and if she does, then he’s gone to jail while I move away with her.” Paulella told him while sounding sad and tears ran down her face. But Ant wiped her tears away. “Baby it’s okay. You had the right to stand up for yourself and your family. I would’ve done the same thing if I was going through the same thing and my friends would make fun of me about it. There are things that we go through in life and we have to deal with it. Just keep your head up through the ruff times and let it not get to you. I know you Paulella. You’re a strong black beautiful woman that I love. And there won’t be nothing that can stop that.” Anthony told her letting her know that he meant it from the heart. “I love it when you make me feel happy inside. That’s how I know that you love me from the heart and I’m going to give you the same love that you give me.” Paulella told him from the heart. Anthony and Paulella looked into each other’s eyes deeply. Then Anthony leaned in and started kissing Paulella while they leaned back onto the bed until her dad came in and caught them kissing looking shocked and mad at the same time. They quickly got up and Paulella was in front of Anthony while she hold hands with Anthony behind her back. “Paulella what’s going on?” Her dad asked her getting mad. “Nothing was going on. I just wanted him to come over so we can talk.” Paulella confessed. “You call this nothing? I just caught you two kissing on the bed. Ain’t no telling what else y’all would’ve did if I didn’t come.” Antonio told her upset. “Please dad can we not argue. This is not the right time for me.” Paulella begged him. “No I think this is the good time.” Antonio told her getting frustrated. Paulella rolled her eyes and turned around to look at Anthony. Anthony looked at her. “I’m sorry about this. Trust me I did not wanted you to get caught.” Paulella tried telling him. “It’s okay baby. I still love you. I guess I got leave.” Anthony said. “Yeah it’s time for you to go home boy.” Antonio told him didn’t even want to look at him. Anthony and Paulella looked at each other and gave each other a kiss. Then Anthony walked out and got out the house and drove home. Antonio was disappointed and mad at his daughter he took a deep breath and looked at her. “Dad I can explain. I didn’t mean to have in the house like that. Trust me. I just wanted to talk to him.” Paulella told him sounding inasant. “I don’t think I can trust you anymore. I just saw you with a boy in my house in your bedroom on your bed about to do I don’t know what. Now you want me to trust you? How can I trust you when I caught you with a boy in my house?” Tony asked her getting angry. “Dad it was nothing just calm down. Can you please leave my room?” Monica asked him. “No you not going to tell me that you want me to leave the room. I’ll leave when I want to.” Glenn told her. “I thought I told you I don’t want boys in my house. You 16, and you screwed up.” Glenn told her upset. “I’m sorry dad but what you did to me last night made me frustrated. And I had to talk to someone.” Monique told him. “All the friends you have in the world. You picked him over your home girls?” Glenn asked couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “He’s my, boyfriend.” Monique confess. “What else you got to hide from me?” Glenn asked her getting upset about the secrets he’s telling him now. “Nothing I was just telling him about the fight last night that we had.” Monique told him. “Why the hell you telling people? Especially him about our business? You act like I was hurting you for no reason. You did try to cut me first.” Glenn was telling her so she can know what she did. “It was self defense.” Monique responded. “Even though I wasn‘t doing nothing to you.” Glenn told her knowing she was lying. Giving her that look knowing that he wasn’t dumb. “This isn’t taking us no where. Can you just leave me alone and leave my room?” Monique begged him to leave the room. “I’m not through talking to you yet. Now sit your black ass down right now. Or I’ll beat it until it turns purple.” Glenn told her and she sat down on the edge of her bed listening to him. “You got a lot of nerve to go around this neighborhood and tell people that I beat you. Knowing that I beat you because of discipline. So now I got to clean up all this shit you be telling people so they won’t think I’m an abusive father. Thanks a lot Mo. You made my day. I already got enough to deal with then to be dealing with your ugly ass.” Glenn said out of frustration. Monique looked at him upset for what he just said. “What did you just say?” Monique asked him while standing up. “You heard me I already got enough to deal with then to be dealing with your ugly ass. That is what I said. You got a problem then we can do this.” Glenn told her. Monique walked up to him and smacked him. He looked at her upset. “You going to wish you never did that.” Glenn told her. He hit her in the face and they got into a fight. Monique was hit in the face and she fell he got on top of her and starts beating on her while she was yelling for help. But he covered up her mouth and she tried screaming out but it didn’t do her no good. He hit her in the face and she kneed him in the balls making him fall off her in pain. She gets up and ran downstairs and realize that there was no noise coming from the bedroom. She started walking backwards and saw that her dad was behind her and he put his arm around her neck trying to choke her. “You think you can run from me Monique? But you can’t. And I’m a give you a bad beat down from having a mouth like that on you.” Glenn told her knowing that he wasn’t taking back what he said. He pushed her into the wall having her bleed from the mouth and nose. Kneed her in the face by his knee and she had blood coming out super bad. She fell to the ground and was looking up at her dad, getting a black eye, and busted lip with her nose broken. She looked at Glenn beaten up. He walked up to her tired from beating her up. “Look at you. Fucked up because you didn’t follow the rules. That’s what you get when you disrespectful. I don’t want to hear another word from you either. Oh yeah,” Glenn kneed down by her to look at her serious and let her know that he wasn’t playing at all. “And if you ever try to tell people that I beat you, I won’t hurt you this time. I’m a kill you.” Glenn told her trying to get an understanding and getting her scared. No response from Monique; she was just looking at him getting worried what he was going to do next. But he stood up still looking at her and then he left the house driving to his friend’s house. Leaving her on the ground. She had to help herself get up and she went in her room. Later that night, she got up from her bed and went to her bathroom. Turning on the light and looking in the mirror, seeing that the bruises were healing up until she heard noises from the hallway. She went out to check on it and saw that her dad’s door was open a little bit. Monique closed the door and got back on checking her bruises, until he came in and put his arm around her neck. Monique was trying to get his arm off her but it did no good, while he was looking at her mean getting ready to beat her again. “Look what you made me do to you Monique. And you got the nerves to tell lies about me.” Glenn told her while having his arm around her neck. “Dad let me go please.” Monique begged him. Until she step on his foot and he let her go being in pain and he smacked her in the face. Having her fall to the ground and putting her hand on her cheek because it was pain and she looked at him. With tears running down her eyes. He looked at her angry ready to fight her. “You trying to hit me, again? Now you cross the line and you about to get it in a worst way.” Glenn told her before he started beating her up. Glenn grabbed her leg and pulled her to him a little bit. But she kicked him and he let her go because she kick him in the stomach and tried crawling to the tub but he pulled her back to him. Getting on top of her and beating on her again. Hitting her in the face, and on her body while she was screaming for help. “SHUT UP MONIQUE!” Glenn yelled out at her. “Dad please stop it, please.” Monique cried out covering up her face with her hands. “I don’t want to hear it. You made this put this on yourself. I really want to kill you. No joke, I really want to kill man. But something telling me not to even though I want to, I can’t do it. You making it hard for yourself to live another day in this house. I don’t want to hear nothing coming from you or that room. Do you hear me?” Glenn asked her wanting an answer. She didn’t respond and he slap her in the face having her cry a little bit. “I said do you hear me?” Glenn asked her in a more angry tone. “Yes.” Monique cried out. He let her go and got off her, standing so he can be looking down at her. Her face was bleeding because the bruises bust open a little bit. “All I wanted was some respect. And for some reason it was hard for you to do that. Just follow directions and you won’t have to go through this.” Glenn told her before he left the bathroom to go to bed. He left her there and went to sleep. Monique got up and took a small face towel with her and wet it with hot water. Then she turned off the light and went in her bedroom, closing the door behind her. Monique turned off the light and went in her bed. Putting the towel on her pillow to sleep on so it can heal up before school tomorrow.
Chapter 4: Didn’t Come To School Monique got up and saw that the bruises was taking a while for them to heal. She got ready to go to school and she was in the living room. About to go to school until her dad stopped her. “MONIQUE, I’LL TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL IF YOU CAN COOK ME SOME BREAKFAST!” Glenn yelled out to her before she left the house. She rolled her eyes. “Now you want me to cook some food for you after all that time you beat on me.” Monique whispered to herself while walking to the kitchen to get the things ready. “GIRL SHUT UP AND COOK ME SOME DAMN BREAKFAST BEFORE I LET YOUR BLACK ASS WALK!” Glenn yelled at her again because he heard what she said. He was in the bathroom getting ready to go to the studio to record music. She rolled her eyes again and started cooking. The eggs were almost done and the waffles were in the toaster. Until they popped up and the scrambled eggs were done. She put them all on a big plate and got the butter out and put butter on his waffles. Monique open the refrigerator and saw the red juice and took it out and poured some juice in his tall glass cup. But she realize that there was not much syrup for two waffles. All of a sudden Monique put some juice on the waffles and put it back in the refrigerator. The food was ready and set for him and she started laughing. Until he father was walking downstairs and caught her laughing for no reason. “What your black ass laughing about Monique?” Glenn asked her having new fresh clothes while his daughter looked at him. With the plate in her hands ready to hand it to him. He had on black pants, a blue sweater with a brown tan jacket over it and some black Jordans. He was eating his sausages, eggs, and biscuits on his plate that tasted so good. But she saw that he was about to eat his waffles, so she had to hurry up and walk to the door. Glenn can tell that juice was on the waffles to have it be like syrup and he dropped them back down on the plate. Getting frustrated, he walked up to Monique and grabbed her by the arm. “Close that damn door before I hurt you.” Glenn warned her. She closed the door getting scared of what he might do to her. “You think you really slick. I’m a show you what you tried to do that was not funny.” Glenn told her in an angry way. He had his hand on the back of her neck taking her to the plate with the juice on his waffles. She was shocked that it didn’t look like syrup. Monique thought she had him but she was wrong again. “Putting juice on my waffles? You is really stupid to do this to me. But you going to learn not to do something stupid like this.” Glenn told her before he was about tot hit on her. Tears were coming out her eyes. Then he pushed her to the cabinet and she bumped her head against the cabinet. Having her in pain and crying because she was getting hurt real easily. She fell to the ground knowing that she made a mistake by doing this her dad. Glenn was standing over her looking down on her angry. He saw that a pan that was still hot was on the stove, and he grabbed it. Looking at the pan, then at Monique. She didn’t know what to expect from him. All of a sudden, he started hitting her with the pan, while she screaming and crying because it giving her burnt marks. He hit her a couple more time and then he stop. There were brunt marks all over her body from the pan. He bent down to look at her more closely with an angry face at her. “I‘m trying not to hurt you. But you do things for me to beat on you don‘t you?” Glenn warned her with the pan pointed in her face. “Maybe if you stop hitting on me, then I won’t have to.” Monique told her in pain. He hit her one good time with the pan having her bleed from the mouth and parts of her body was bleeding from the burnt marks. He stood up all the way and threw the pan by her. Having her move out the way from the pan a little bit. “You can forget about getting a ride to school today. Why don’t you tell the school what you did for me to give you those burnt marks all over your black ass body. Clean this mess up, before I get home. I don’t want to see anything dirty or this time you’ll get set on fire.” Glenn told her trying to scare her to death. Putting on his orange and white hat on, then he left to go to the studio. Leaving Monique on the ground in pain with burnt marks on her body. Tears running down her eyes and she struggled to get up from the ground. Walking slowly one by one up the stairs to her bedroom and laying on the bed. Pain making her every move, knowing that she couldn’t move around like she wanted to. Monique started cleaning up while she was in pain until the phone rang. She had to make her way to the phone and she answered it. “Hello?” Monique asked to see who the person was on the other line. “Mo why you not at school?” Britney asked her. “Me and my dad got into an argument and we fought. Well actually he beat me up with a pan and I got burnt marks from it.” “Girl I am so sorry about that. Do you want me to come over there?” “No girl it’s okay I don’t want to get in more trouble.” “Please can I come over so I can check on you please?” “Okay but when my dad comes you have to leave asap so he won’t know that you’re here.” “Thanks so much girl love you!” “Love you too. Bye.” They both hung up the phone and she finished cleaning up the house while she was in pain from getting hurt. Britney arrived to her house and walked to the front door and rang the door bell. Waiting for Monique to answer the door. Monique open the door and Britney gave her a hug but Monique was still in pain. “Oww Britney it hurts so bad still.” Monique cried out because it was still in pain. Britney saw the burnt marks on her body helping her walk back to the living room. Britney had a wet small towel wiping Monique’s face with it and it was having her react to it in a painful way because it still was hurting her. They were in the living room and it was peace and quiet. Sitting on the couch not believing the marks he gave her. Scared that it might get worst for her friend if she don’t stop him. “Girl you should’ve told me that you needed help with your situation.” Britney tried telling her while healing her up with the face towel. “Well I didn’t want you to get hurt by my father.” Britney looked at her like she was crazy. “Girl haven’t you forgotten lately? I have a mom that is a lawyer and a dad this a police officer. Oh hell no he better think twice before he put his hands on this cutie.” Britney said and she saw that Monique was down and even more sad. “But I don’t want my friend to die over child abuse. When we met at seven years old, we said that we were best friends. I love you like a sister. No one will take your spot.” Monique and Britney hugged and looked back at each other. “But hey, start being mean to me I will beat your ass.” They both stared laughing because of the comment that she made. “I’m just playing.” Britney said and they kept laughing some more until the front door slammed and they both looked at the door and it was her. He walked put his keys in the table by the couch and looked at them mean. Monique and Britney got up at the same time and looked at each other. Putting her hand on her friend’s shoulder. “Um Britney I think you should go. I’ll call you.” Monique tried telling her so she can leave right away. “Alright then I’ll go but are you sure you going to be okay?” Britney asked her. “Excuse me but Britney, what are you doing in my house?” Glenn asked walking a couple more steps towards them but not close to them. “I called to see if she was okay and if I could come over.” Britney said getting scared but not showing it. “And you thought that it was okay for you to come to my house? Even though she’s not suppose to have company.” Glenn asked getting closer to them both. “Dad it’s my fault she just wanted to check on me because I didn’t go to school. And I just wanted to talk to her because I had nobody to talk to.” Monique tried explaining to her dad. “Shut up Monique because you in more trouble than your friend over here.” Glenn warned her looking at Monique then back at Britney. “You know what it’s not my fault that my friend is getting abused by her father.” Britney said to him and it got Glenn upset. Glenn got so upset with her that he grabbed her by the arm. “Glenn let me go right now.” Britney yell out at him to do. Then Monique ran up to them and was trying to pull him off her and he pushed her to the wall with his other arm and let go of Britney punching her in the face having her fall on the ground. Until Monique was behind him hitting on Glenn and he got a hold of her arm and brought her in front of him with her back facing him. He put his arm around her neck trying to hold her tight and choke her so she wouldn’t go no where. Glenn covered her mouth with her hand while she was trying to scream and was crying because that all happened to her and Britney. Britney got up and was covering up her bruise with her hand and she looked at them. “Glenn since you put your hands on me, I’m getting my dad on you and it’s over for you buddy.” Britney warned him. “I’m not scared at all. You know where I live baby girl, I’m a get him just like I got you.” Glenn said to her while he still had his arm around Monique’s neck and was covering up her mouth. Britney looked at Monique crying to run free with her. “I love you Mo and if you need me I’m here for you.” Britney told her then she left the house. She slammed the door while Glenn was watching her leave then he looked back at Monique. He pushed her to the ground. “Get your black ass up Monique.” Glenn ordered her. Monique got up with her back facing him and then she turned around and looked at her dad scared. “Did you tell her about what I did to you this mourning?” Glenn asked trying to see if the situation. “Yeah because she wanted to know why I didn’t come to school.” Monique responded to his question. “You making it hard for yourself and we keep going back to the situation over and over again. You must like getting hurt on by me don’t you?” Glenn said while taking off his belt and getting a tight grip on it. Britney looked at him scared and knew that she was in for the worst. “Dad what are you doing?” Monique asked while she was walking backwards away from him and he was walking towards her. “Something that I should’ve did a long time ago.” Glenn tells her getting ready to hit her. Monique ran upstairs to her room while her dad chased after her she tried closed the door. While he tried opening it, she screamed out because she was scared. “Ahhhhhh! Dad please stop it.” Monique scared out. He was able to open the door and she was walking backwards trying to get out the room. When she tried running out the bedroom, he got her arm and pushed her back into the room and started to beat on her with the belt while she cried out for him to stop. Getting bruises from the belt hitting on her and he wouldn’t stop for nothing in the world. “OKAY DAD I’M SORRY PLEASE STOP DAD, PLEASE!” Monique cried out for Glenn to stop. He hit her a couple more times and he pointed the belt at her. “Don’t you ever talk to me like that ever again. Or I’ll beat you even worst with my fist.” Glenn warned her and walked out the room slamming the door. He went to bed and she used her hands to help her get up on the bed and went to sleep.
Chapter 5: “Daddy Please Stop.” It was a Friday and her dad was at the studio recording music so Monique called in for school and cleaned up the house before her dad came home. She wasn’t breathing very well and had to run to the kitchen and get a glass of water and drink it real fast. It helped her a little bit and she took a couple of deep breaths and it made her breathing get better. The phone ranged and Monique answer the phone. “Hello?” Monique asked. “Hey girl it’s me Britney.” Britney said. “Oh my gosh Britney I am so sorry what happened last night.” “It’s okay girl it’s no biggie. I kind’ve got smart with him so it was my fault too. I just didn’t want you to get abused like that by your pops.” “I’m good girl I got my ass whipped like I was 6 years old.” They both laughed about it and stopped laughing because the bell ranged for the students to get to class. “I got to go but I love you so much and please don’t let him do that much damage to you or can die from that okay babe?” “Yeah I got you just text me later on when you get out of school or something.” “Alright then love you babe.” “Love you too.” “Bye.” “Bye.” They both hung up the phone and she finished cleaning up the house. It was late and she was in her room. Glenn cane in the house and closed the door upset at his daughter. He looked upstairs to see if she was up there. “MONIQUE COME HERE RIGHT NOW!” Glenn yelled out to her. Monique came downstairs to see what he wanted from her. “Why is the school calling me saying that you haven’t been at school?” Glenn asked her getting mad. “Everyday you beat on me and that’s why I don’t go.” Monique responded confessing. He punched her in the face having her fall on the ground and he grabbed a knife trying to stab her but she moved out the way and stabbed the ground. Glenn chased her upstairs and she went in her room trying to jump out the window but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back in and Glenn pushed Monique onto the bed getting on top of her cutting parts of her body. She screamed for help but he covered her mouth back up and was cutting her a couple more times (small cuts). He stopped and looked at her very angry because he had no choice. “Keep one eye open and one eye closed because I’m coming to get you again.” He got off of her and tried walking out the bedroom until she got up and tried calling the police but he took the phone away from her and she fought back to get it. But he hit her with the phone having her nose bleed and she tried running out the bedroom so she can leave. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her down on the ground. Looking at each other she was scared and he was upset. “You better not come out of this room little girl.” Glenn warned her and left the room. A couple of minutes later she came out the room with her jacket on and tried to leave the house where she cracked the door open a little bit. Until her dad closed it back up and grabbed her arm getting a tighter grip. Having Monique against the wall and he was in front of her looking at her upset. “Why you trying to leave me? Knowing that if I kick you out, you’re going to want to come back. So do you want to leave yes or no?” Glenn told her mad. No response from her and she tried running from him but he dragged her upstairs into his room and pushed her on the bed. Getting on top of her and beating on her for a couple of minutes. He stopped and looked at her. “If you want to leave just let me know. Now go to your god damn room Monique.” Glenn told her. She went into her scared to go to sleep. Someone was at the door and she open the door to go downstairs until her dad walked up to her door. “Go back to sleep baby I got the door.” Glenn said while walking to the front door. He answered the door and it was the police. “Excuse me sir but we got a call from a neighbor saying they heard screaming and someone getting beaten on.” A police officer told him. “Sorry you got the wrong one. Y’all have a good day.” Glenn told them slamming the door on their face and they left the house going home. Monique was still in her bed hearing her dad walking up the stairs getting closer to her bedroom door. He open it and looked at her and she looked at him. “Don’t you ever make another noise again do you hear me?” Glenn warned her like he was giving her a threat. “Yes daddy.” Monique responded. He closed the door back up and went to sleep and so did Monique.
Chapter 6: No More From Him Saturday afternoon Monique was in her room on her bed bleeding after getting in a fight with her dad earlier that day. Tracey and Britney came to her house and realize that her door was cracked open. They went in the house and was looking around to see where she was. “MONIQUE WHERE ARE YOU?” Britney asked her. They heard crying from upstairs in her room and they ran upstairs and went inside her bedroom. Seeing that she was on her bed bleeding and bruised up by her dad. They both walked up to her bed and was getting tired of her getting beat up by her dad. “Monique get up I am sick and tired of you not sticking up for yourself. Get your crazy ass up.” Tracey said to her looking at her wanting her to get up. “Don’t yell at her like that she’s injured.” Britney told Tracey so she can calm down and help her and not yell at Monique . “I don’t give a damn she needs to stop letting him beat on her. Monique I said get your black ass up right now or I’m a get you up.” “I can’t Tracey.” Monique cried out in pain. Tracey snatched her up by the arm and Monique cried out in pain because she was in pain. “Oww Tracey it hurts so bad.” Monique cried out. Tracey and Britney saw the bruises that were old and new. Tracey looked at her disappointed. “I can’t believe you Monique. You need to do something before he kills you but I guess you don’t understand that. You know what I’m leaving, c’mon Brit let’s go.” Tracey said while they walked out her bedroom walking downstairs. Monique tried hurrying up downstairs trying to stop her friends. “Britney I know you don’t want to leave me here. Please don’t do this to me please.” Monique begged. They stopped walking and Tracey was at the door while Britney was the stairs. Tracey was looking at Britney while Britney looked at Monique. “Lucy.” Tracey told Britney and she looked at her while Tracey turned her head towards the door so they can leave. Lucy looks back at Monique guilty. “I’m sorry babe I wish I could stay but Tracey’s right on this one. I’ll talk to you later.” Lucy says as she leaves the house and close the door behind her. Monique sat on the couch and did nothing but cry because she lost her friends. “I have to fight back. I want my friends back. I can’t let him get to me.” Monique said to herself. A couple of hours later her dad came home and closed the front door. He walked up to Monique and woke her up angry. Monique woke up and looked at her dad. “You still keep telling people about our business huh?” Glenn asked her upset. No response from her and he grabbed her by the arm having her get up and had her against the wall. He was looking at her upset. “Answer me Monique.” Glenn commanded. “No.” Monique cried out. “You’re a liar. And since you got a big mouth and want to lie at me. I’m a give you a lesson to keep your mouth shut when it comes down to us.” He punched her and she fell to the ground and then he was kicking her real hard. Monique was trying to crawl up the stairs to her bedroom. “Where you think you’re going little girl? You’re not going no where.” Glenn said while he got a leg and pulled her back down the stairs to him. He got on top of her and started punching on her body and slapping her. Giving her bruises while she was crying for him to stop. He stopped hitting on her and looked at her in a evil way. “Don’t you ever in your life tell your friends about what goes on in this house. No one cares about your ugly ass you understand me?” Glenn said hurting her feelings. “Yes sir.” Monique says crying because he called her ugly. He got off of her and went to his bedroom going to bed and she limped up the stairs going to her bedroom closing her door. Scared what might happen to her if she don’t stop. It was early in the mourning and she had breathing problems again so she had ran to the kitchen and got a drink of water. Took a couple of deep breaths and she got better going back to bed. Having a dream that she was going to die. Waking up not sure that Glenn wasn’t in the room and went back to sleep.
Chapter 7: “I won’t do it no more I promise.” It was a Sunday mourning and Monique was reading her bible then her dad walked in her room. They looked at each other so they can talk. “Monique I’m a be at the studio if you need me.” Glenn tells her while walking up to her. He gave her a kiss on her cheek and left the house. “Okay dad love you.” Monique says to him. “Love you too baby.” Glenn responds to her. When the front door close, she got up out of her bed and looked out her window seeing her dad getting in the car. He looked up at her and gave her the peace sign saying that he’s leaving or goodbye. He got in his white truck and drove off at work she went back to reading her bible. A hour later she was eating some pizza until her house phone range. She took more one bite of her pizza and quickly walked to the phone. She answered it wondering if it was her dad that called. “Hello?” Monique asked. “Monique it’s me, Britney.” Britney said scared that she might be mad at her. “Bye Brit I don’t want you talking to me anymore. I realize you’re a traitor.” Monique tried hanging up but Britney stopped her. “Monique please don’t hang up,” Britney tells her and it gets Monique back on the phone to hear her explanation on why she left her all alone. “I wanted to apologize for what I did to you. I know it was wrong and I feel super guilty about it.” “Well forget it I don’t want to talk to you or Tracey. Since you left me all messed up and shit yesterday. And why is you calling me I don’t mess with fake bitches like you and Tracey.” “I’m not fake I just got scared-” “About what?” No response from Britney and it made Monique get more angry at them. “See? You’re a liar and the next time you call my house, I will fight your ass when I get to school. That’s a promise all bullshit aside.” Monique hung up on him and she went upstairs into her bedroom and cried laying on her bed. A while later, her phone ranged again and she answered it. “Hello?” Monique asked with an attitude. “Dang Monique it’s Jessica. What’s wrong with you today? I just wanted to call you so I can check on you.” Jessica said to her. “I’m doing okay so far with me my friends and dad. How are you and mom doing all those years y’all been gone?” “Good! We’re at a party for mom’s award ceremony. But she really wish you were here with us. And she wanted me to tell you and dad that she said hi.” Monique smiled “Tell mom I said hi and that I love her but when y’all coming to visit?” “Mom said she would but she changed her mind about it. She still worried about dad, but I’m still coming so you’ll have someone coming to visit.” “Good because I don’t want to be here alone. Please come over ass soon as you can.” “I know I will girl don’t worry about it. But listen Monique I have to go, they’re about to announce mom’s award. Love ya peace out.” “Bye Jessica.” They both hung up and Monique finished watching television. A couple minutes later, her dad came in the house and closed the front door and she was in her room. Until she walked downstairs and was worried. Looking at each other. “Jessica called earlier today saying that mom said hi and that she’s coming to visit when she get a chance.” “Did you tell her about our business going on in the house?” Glenn asked her to make sure. “No I didn’t tell her I swear dad.” Monique told her dad so she won’t get in trouble. “I have a good feeling that you’re lying to me.” “Dad I’m sick of you trying to think that I’m lying. You need to stop doing that to me.” Glenn started to beat her up, he pushed her against the wall and tried to hit her in the face but she got out the way and he hit the wall. Hurting his knuckles and holding it because it hurt. Monique ran upstairs and Glenn chased her up to her room. Tried closing the door but he bust it open and they got back into a fight. Her dad hit her so hard that she fell on the ground. Her got on top of her and started hitting on her even more. She hit him in the nuts and he got off of her in pain. Monique got her things and ran out the room to the front door. Until her dad yelled out at her. “MONIQUE DON’T LEAVE ME! I NEED YOU!” Glenn yelled out while he was still in the room in pain. Monique was crying while she was against the front door. Sliding down slowly while crying and her things were beside her. Glenn ran downstairs and saw that Monique was looking at him crying and didn’t want him close to her. He walked up to her and kneed down in front of her on his knees rubbing her arms with his hand. One arm was on each hand trying to make he feel safe like he wasn’t doing anything bad to her. “Monique don’t leave me please. Just tell me what I got to do I’ll do anything for you. Anything.” Glenn begged her while rubbing her arms. “Don’t beat me anymore. That’s all I’ve been wanting from you dad.” Monique told him. “Whatever you say baby. I won’t do it anymore I promise.” “Please don’t break your promise.” Monique and her dad hugged while she was crying. He was rubbing her back to give her comfort. “Please don’t cry baby, please don’t cry.” “I love you daddy.” “I love you too sweetheart.” He said while holding her tighter so she can feel that he loved her.
Chapter 8: Lie Happens Again Monique came to school and missed a lot of school work that she had to catch up on. People kept looking at her because she some appearing bruises on her face and they was suspicious about her not coming to school so many days. Monique was about to go to class until she saw her friends and she was happy to see them, her eyes were getting watery. Britney and Monique ran up to each other and gave each other a hug almost about to cry. “I miss you Mo.” Britney cried to her. “I miss you too Britney.” Monique responded. “I’m sorry for leaving you like that.” “And I’m sorry that I called you fake.” “Let’s promise each other we won’t have that happen again.” “Promise but we still friends?” “Best friends.” They both hugged and all of a sudden they saw Tracey standing there guilty because she was mean to Monique and she started walking away upset at Tracey. She didn’t want to see her while her other friends was telling her to stop and Tracey caught up to her and stopped her by getting a hold of her arm. They both looked at each other and Monique looked at her angry because of what happened with them at the house. “Why are you bothering me Tracey I don’t want to talk to you.” “Monique you got to hear me out, I’m really sorry for what happened. I really want you to forgive me and let’s not have this happen to us again.” “No sorry is not enough, if you were in my shoes you would be hurt if I did that same shit to you too. So don’t talk to me.” “We can’t just be holding grudges at each other, that’s not good for our health at all.” “But you didn’t care about my health when my dad was beating on me didn’t you?” No response from Tracey because she was defeated with her words. “Now like I said, don’t talk to me ever again if you want to see past 18.” Monique walked away from her going to class and Britney gave Tracey a hug and they both went to class themselves together. Tracey was down and Monique felt that she was too hard on her but she didn’t care anymore. Monique came home and was eating food while watching tv and doing homework. It was getting late while she was sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for her dad to come home. She saw his car lights shine in the house and she was making sure it was him. Her dad came in the house drunk and closed the front door. Glenn bump into a glass vase and it fell on the ground crashing into pieces. He was trying to walk upstairs but he was too drunk and he went up to Monique and was close to her. But he fell and had her fell with him. Having Glenn on top of Monique and he was drunk and he looked at her realizing that he was on top of her. “Monique I didn’t know you was down there. You trying to fuck or what?” Glenn asked drunk. “No dad I was just making sure you came home, and then you fell on top of me drunk. Besides, I’m not ready for that, I’m only 16.” Monique tells her dad leaning up a little bit ready to get up. He rolls off of her and she gets up and helps her father get up as well. His arm was around her shoulder while they walked upstairs trying to get to his room but was having trouble getting there. He smacked her butt and she pushed it out the way so he can stop. “Stop dad that’s not funny at all, I’m your daughter not you wife.” “I know that baby girl, I’m just fucking with you.” He started laughing and she was getting frustrated with him. She finished bringing him to his room and laid him on the bed while he was still drunk. She tried leaving but he got a hold of her arm and pulled her on the bed with him. Glenn looked at her and was flirting and touching on her. “I know I’m your dad but you look good Monique. Give me some of that and let me tap that ass.” Glenn said sounding drunk and slap her butt and squeezed it. He rolled over so he cane be on top of her and he started kissing on her neck being drunk and she stopped him and they both looked at each other. “Dad please I don’t want this, I’m too young for you. Dad you got to rest so you can be normal in the mourning. Can I please go and clean up the mess you just made?” He got off of her and she got up and started walking downstairs to clean up the mess that he made. Monique got the dustpan and broom so she can clean it up while her dad was sleeping. Monique was throwing it away and her dad looked to see what it was. He knew it was Monique and he walked downstairs and snuck up behind her while she was bent over sweeping the mess onto the dustpan. Putting his hands on her hips and she stopped to see what he was doing. “Damn Monique you got a big ass. Or should I say baby got back.” “Glenn please stop I’m not in the mood right now. Just stop please.” “Hold up baby girl you forgot to do me a favor.” She stood up and looked at him frustrated. “What favor?” “Getting a piece of this body you have.” “Dad don’t do what I think you’re going to do.” “I’m a have to and besides, it won’t hurt at all.” He was kissing on her and she pushed him away from her. “You’re sick dad. What’s gotten into you?” “I don’t know but something did.” Monique ran upstairs and he chased her up to her bedroom and she tried locking the door and keeping it closed but he wouldn’t budge. He bust the door open and walks up to her and push her on the bed. Monique tried getting up but he pushed her down so she won’t get up. “Lay your ass down Monique don’t play with me.” She tried getting up again but her dad had his fist ready to hit her trying to scare here. “I’ll beat your ass like you stole something little girl.” Monique laid back down getting scared. “You gon’ get me some of this.” “I’m a teach a valuable good lesson not to fuck with me little girl.” Glenn said before he was ready to rape her. “Dad please don’t do this you’re going too far on this situation please.” Monique cries out while she was held down on the bed. Her dad started kissing on her neck and chest and breasts. Glenn was taking off her clothes while she was having tears run down her face. He was taking off all her clothes and did to the same thing to himself. They were under the covered and he molested her for a good 30 minutes while she moaned a couple of times because it hurt and crying because her dad is raping her. Monique didn’t had no choice but to accept it, and after 30 minutes, Glenn finished and looked at her. “This can be our little secret baby girl.” Glenn said to her still being drunk and gave her a kiss on the chest, neck and lips. He got off of her and off the bed putting back on his clothes and leaving her bedroom. Closing the door behind him and going to bed himself while she was crying because she was raped by her dad. She turned off her lights and went to sleep scared that she was pregnant.
Chapter 9: “I’m scared to tell him no.” It was a Tuesday and Monique called in saying that she will not be at school. The doorbell rang and Monique answered it and it was her friends. “Hey Monique.” Monique gave Britney a hug and she was still in pain from the other times. “It still hurts doesn’t it?” “Real bad and it won’t stop even if I take care of it.” But she didn’t give one to Tracey because she was still mad at her. But she let them both in the house, and they all went into her bedroom. “Sit down Monique.” Monique did what she was told and they was in front of her standing up because they needed to give advice to her. “Why is you all here, even though I don’t have a problem with it.” “Now what you should do is fight back. Don’t hold back anything that you was taught.” “Make sure you have some clothes packed up when you decide to leave. It can be your friends, or maybe your boo Anthony.” Monique smiled from what she said and was blushing. “When you leave and he tries to tell you that he won’t do it again, don’t believe it.” “Don’t fall for it that’s just his way of telling you so you can come back and stay with him.” “GIRLS! That’s enough advice, I already got it. What I was trying to say is, that I’m scared to tell him no.” Britney sat down by her and had her hand around her shoulder. “We’re scared too. We’re just trying got help you out when it does happen again. I know you might not want to hear this but he’s going to do whatever it takes to hurt your soul. And you can’t do nothing but fight back, or stay silent.” “What difference does it make?” “A whole lot.” “You don’t understand, my dad loves me it’s not him. Trust me on this. He really does loves me, it’s just that, when I do something bad, I get my own self in trouble for him to abuse me like this.” “But I know you didn’t get in that much trouble for him to be drunk and to rape you. Didn’t you?” “No.” “So why the fuck are you thinking that?” “Because I don’t want him to get in trouble.” “He needs to get his in jail and learn that what he’s doing to you is not safe and can die from it.” “There’s nothing we can do, she’s not going to listen to us.” “And what makes you think I won’t listen to what you guys had to say?” “It’s obvious, your dad is getting into your head for what he’s done to you. And you won’t admit to all the things he did. There’s no use of us even coming here where you’re not going to accept it and stick with it.” “Well the door is downstairs so you can leave.” “Fine then I will, and while I’m gone don’t even think about calling me when your dad raping your black ass again.” “If I hear you say that one more time, then I’m a be beating your ass a whole lot in school.” “Then go ahead and try because I’m not scared of you. If you can’t fight back your dad then there’s damn way you going to fight back me” They kept going back and fourth and at each other and Britney stopped them and looked away and was mad at each other. “Both of you guys need to stop this shit right now.” “She started it.” “You the one saying stupid ass answers to us like we that dumb.” “Shut the hell up both of you. You guys knew each other longer than I knew you both. Y’all suppose to be best friends, and you both trying to fight each other. Y’all need to apologize to each other right now.” “What if we don’t want to?” “Then I’m shoving my foot into both of y’all asses one by one.” Tracey and Monique looked at each other. “I’m sorry.” “Me too.” “I’m going through so much with my father, and then you guys are trying to help me. I don’t know what to do in my life. It’s like I should kill myself and not waste time trying to do what he wants.” “Don’t say that out your mouth.” “But it’s true Tracey. I’m scared to tell him no. I don’t want him killing me, I’m too young to die.” “We’re going to be there for you no matter what. You just got to believe in us ok?” “I know you will but it feels like I’m going to die soon.” “Don’t say that ever again. You keep saying that and it going to happen.” “I’m sorry.” “Promise us that you won’t say that anymore.” “I got you.” They all hugged and they went home, a couple of hours later her dad came home and she was in her room. “Monique come here baby.” She ran downstairs and walked up to him to see what he wants. “Listen baby, I’m sorry for what I did to you last night. Would you forgive me?” “It all depends on how I should forgive you.” “By this.” Glenn tries to lean in for a kiss but Monique pushes him back because he was going to far. “No dad I can’t do this and I don’t believe that you’re really sorry for what you did.” Glenn punched her and she fell to the ground, she started to crawl up the stairs but her dad grabbed her leg and she kicked him hard having him let go. She ran up the stairs and made it to her room locking the door. Her dad bust the door open and got pushed her to the ground getting on top her. He started to beat on her punching her in the face real bad, blood was coming out. Glenn was choking her for so long that she was got knocked out. But he carried her to her bedroom and laid her on the bed. Going to sleep himself in his bedroom A while later, she went into the bathroom and checked her bruises. Out of no where her dad covered up her mouth looking at her mean. “See what you did for me to act this way on you? Huh?” Monique hit him and he grabbed her arm dragging her to the bedroom and pushed her on his bed. He got on top of her while she was trying got get him off of her. He was taking off her clothes and started to rape her, when he was done she was crying. Glenn went up to her ear. “Don’t tell no one about this or I’ll do it again.” He kissed her on the neck and then on the lips. Glenn went to bed and Monique went into her bedroom going to sleep.
Chapter 10: Stop Or Cops The next dad she called Tracey on her cell phone. “Hello?” “Tracey, my dad raped me last night again. And I don’t feel good at all. What should I do?” “Monique listen to me, go to the hospital and get checked out right now.” They both hung up and she changed into some clothes. She walked into the hospital with a white skirt, a red shirt with a white jacket over it, A white cap on, and some red and white Nikes on. People into the hospital saw there was some bruises visible to her face an she tried avoiding the people that was looking at her. Until her friend’s dad was there and saw her. “Ain’t that Monique?” “That sure is, I’m wondering what she doing here?” “I don’t know but we about to find out.” “MONIQUE COME HERE REAL QUICK SWEETIE!” Monique looked at him and she ran out the hospital, while the cops tried chasing her but then they got into their cops cars and was driving around to find her. She started to walk home when the coast was clear. Out of no where the cop caught her and gently grabbed her arm. “LET ME GO! LET ME GO!” “Don’t worry I’m going to help. Calm down young lady, just calm down.” She was trying to make him let go but he wouldn’t budge at all. They drove her to the police station and had her in a room. Until a cop came in and placed a cup of water on the table in front of her. “Thank you.” “Monique do you know who I am?” “Yep, you’re Tracey’s dad Paul, but can I please go?” Her hand was sticking out to the door while she looked at him trying to leave. “Now wait a minute Monique. We still have to figure out about this, dad beating on you thing.” “HE DIDN’T DO THIS TO ME!” “WELL WHO DID IT IF IT WASN’T YOUR FATHER?” Monique didn’t respond because her father did do it, he took a deep breathe. “I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry too.” “You act like I’m a get the Child Protective Service on you. I’m cool with your father it’s just that if he’s hurting you then I don’t know if it’s going to work out between us. Now why were you at the hospital?” “Because my dad raped me.” “Are you serious?” “I don’t think I should be telling you this.” “No you can trust me I’m not going to tell these white cops up in here as big as their mouth is.” “You promise?” “I promise.” (They are going to have a conversation) “Sorry to hear that but we might have to do something.” Monique tried getting up but he stopped her. “Monique just hear me out.” She sat back down and listen to what he ad to say. He took out his card and gave it to her. “Here’s my card. If you need to talk just call me.” “Can you take me to the hospital please?” “Just sit by that door over there and wait there. Then I’ll take you.” She got up and got her jacket and looked back at him. “The reason why he does this to me is because of discipline.” She walked out the room and waited by the door, and he couldn’t believe al the things she told him. ( They are at the hospital to see the results.) After he took her to the hospital, he dropped her off at her house. Monique got out the car and walked by his window to talk to him. “Now you can come to my house anytime so we can talk. By the way what did they tell you?” “They said it was a force so I’m not pregnant or anything. But thanks for taking me home” “No problem.” She waved at him while he was driving off and she went in the house. Monique sat on the living room couch and called her friend Tracey. “Hello?” “Hey Tracey it’s Monique. I got just got home because your dad dropped me off.” “Oh I didn’t know that. But did you go to hospital?” “Yeah I did.” “What did they say?” “They don’t know yet they’re going to give me a couple days to get the results in.” “That’s good well I’m glad to hear that you are okay.” Until Monique saw her dad pulling up in the driveway. She started to panic and get scared. “Tracey my dad is pulling up and I don’t know what to do.” “Mo listen to me, get out of the house you hear me? Get out of the house.” While she was saying it, her dad came in and she dropped the phone looking at him scared. He walked up to her not saying anything but looking at her. “MONIQUE! ARE YOU THERE? MONIQUE!” Tracey yelled on the phone while her dad picked it up and hung up on her. She was seeing what he was going to do then he slap her and grabbed her by the arms. “You was at the hospital huh?” “Yes.” “Why?” “Because I needed to check on something.” “What was it that you needed to check? And you better tell me the truth.” “I wanted to make sure I wasn’t pregnant.” “Pregnant? I didn’t do that much damage to you.” “You might not remember but you did rape two nights in a row.” He slap her again and then she slap him back. Having him punch her in the stomach and then in the face. She fell on the ground and was trying to crawl to upstairs to her room. But he grabbed her leg and dragged her back to him. Kicking all over Monique’s body while she was crying out in pain and begging him to stop. But then she got a hold of his leg and bit it so hard he cried out in pain and fell to the ground, while Monique ran upstairs to her bedroom. She picked up the phone and hold it up so he can see what she was going to do. Glenn came in and walked up to her getting upset. “What you going to do with that phone? Beat me with it?” “No I’m giving you a choice. Either you stop or I’m calling the cops.” Glenn was mad and got a hold of her arm and pulled her down to the ground. Getting the phone out of her hand and was beating her with it. “You think calling the cops is going to scare me? Do it and I swear I’ll kill you.” Monique bit his leg again and he fell in yelling out in pain because he was bleeding a little bit. She got up and got her suitcase with clothes and put on her shoes and jacket. Leaving her dad in her room and she started walking to the front door. “MONIQUE! PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, I NEED YOU! I‘M SORRY!” Monique left the house and went to her friend Tracey’s house. When she got there she walked up the front step and rang the doorbell sitting on the steps. Tracey open her door and sat by her friend to see what was going on. Monique wouldn’t look at her because she had bruises on her face and body. “Monique let me see what he did to you.” Tracey turned her head around by her chin and saw the bruises that he gave her. It was horrible. Tracey was sad that her friend wasn’t looking very well from them. Took her and her suitcase inside to help her heal them. They were both in the kitchen eating dinner and her father came down there to talk to her with Tracey. “Trace what is it that you wanted to show me?” “Monique show him.” Monique looked up and showed him the bruises and he was angry and shocked. “I can’t take this anymore. I’m going over there and give him a beat down.” Paul tried reaching for the keys but Monique grabbed them and looked at him mad. “No don’t-” Until she her heart was skipping beats, and she pat her chest once. They both looked at her to see what was she doing. She pat her chest again because it was skipping a little bit. Then she pat one more time on her chest and her heart was beating normal. Taking deep breaths in between. Monique looked back at Tracey and Paul. “I’m fine.” “Is your heart skipping?” “No it’s fine I’m telling you. This happened to me before.” “How many times have this happened?” “2 to 3 times, I don’t know.” “You need to go to the hospital right now.” “What good is going to come out of the hospital?” “Life.” “So. I’m going to die anyway.” “What’s wrong with you?” “You promised me that you wouldn’t say that again.” “Promises are meant to be broken. Besides, it’s the truth.” “No it’s not you can get through this.” “There’s no damn point of going to the hospital when I’m going to die from this shit.” “Watch your mouth Monique.” “I’m serious Paul and Tracey. Y’all should already know I will. Look at me. Just look at me.” They both looked at the bruises on her and on her body. “I can’t do nothing about it. My body is so damaged because I haven’t taken care of it. Why you think I don’t let you or anybody else hug me? Because it hurts so bad and I’m not doing nothing about it. He got into my head so much that I’m automatically dying, no excuse.” “You need to tell someone soon about this.” “I can’t I don’t want to get him in trouble.” “After all that beating he’s done to you and you have the nerve to say that.” “I just can’t tell on him because he might get me back for it.” “Promise me, the both of us that you will tell someone and get some help.” “I’ll try to talk to him and then if it gets worst, then I’ll do something about it. I promise.” “Thank you.” He gave her a hug and went upstairs to go to bed. Tracey and Monique finished eating and went into her bedroom. She was healing her face with a small hot towel, and it was still in pain. Hurting Monique and she didn’t want to her to touch it anymore. “You know what, this is not helping at all.” “Either you get in the tub or you’re getting this. Which one?” “The tub I guess.” “Alright then I’ll get that ready for you.” She went into her bathroom and ran some hot water for her bath. Going back in the room so she can wait getting her a small towel, and a big towel to dry up with. “Once it’s set and ready then you’re getting in.” “Ok then.” Tracey went to go check on it and it was full enough for her. She turned off the water and went in the bedroom. “C’mon Mo the tub is ready for you.” Monique was scared that it might burn and make the bruises worst. Tracey sat on the sink counter waiting for her to get in the tub. Monique started to take off her clothes but looked at Tracey to see if she was going to leave or not. “I’m not a lesbian or anything but I just wanted to make sure that you got in.” Monique finished taking off her clothes, Tracey saw all the bruises that her dad did to her and they were horrible to look at. Having Tracey cover up her mouth and her eyes were getting watery from what she saw. Monique looked at the water and put her foot in it but it burned her a little and she quickly took it back out. “Monique you don’t have to if you don’t want to. I just want you to try it.” Monique took a deep breathe and started to put her feet in there. When she was in the tub then she laid in the water having tears in her eyes. She started to cry because it was nothing but pain being in the water. Monique kept crying and crying and it got louder. So her friend picked her up having Monique stand up in the tub with nothing but her feet in the water. “Monique I’m so sorry that it made you be in that much pain by being in there. If you don’t want to get back in there that is okay with me.” “It hurts so bad and there’s nothing we can do about it.” “Monique I am so sorry about that.” “It’s not your fault it’s mine.” “How?” “Because I didn’t do nothing to it form the start and now it bit me in the ass and my body is damaged.” “Well you were scared to tell someone so it’s not your fault. Don’t blame it on yourself like that.” “I got you.” “Well do you want to get changed and go to bed?” “Yeah sure but you got to help me out.” “I will.” Tracey put the big towel around her and Monique got out he tub having Tracey drain out the water from the tub. Monique was putting on her shirt and she was in pain because it touched her bruises. “Here, help me to put my arm in.” Tracey helped her and it hurt Monique then she helped her put the other arm in the shirt. Then she put on her pants and brushed her teeth with Tracey. They were both in her bedroom on her bed getting ready to sleep. “Do you want to talk about it?” Monique nodded no. “Well if you need to talk, I’ll be-” Tracey’s phone was ringing but she didn’t answer it. It ranged a couple times more then it went straight to voicemail. They both looked at the phone to see who it was. “Hi this is Trina. Sorry I can’t get to the phone right now. I’m probably out so leave a message after the beep.” Beeeeeeeeep. “Hey Trina, this is Monique’s dad Glenn. Um, if you see her can you please tell her that to come home and that I’m sorry for what I did. And can you tell her that I love her so much. Thanks, bye.” “I don’t want to talk to him right now. Can you tell him that I’ll be at home by tomorrow night?” “Yeah I’ll tell him.” Tracey called him back on her cell phone in the bathroom. After talking to him she went back in the bedroom and sat on her bed looking at her. “He said okay and that he loves you and will be ready for you when you come home. Monique all you need is some rest because you had a rough day.” “Yeah you’re right. Goodnight.” They hugged and laid on the bed covering their bodies with the blanket and went to sleep.
Chapter 11: Dying It was a Thursday mourning Monique and Trina cooked everyone breakfast including themselves. Her dad already ate because he had to go to work. The mom ate her food and went to work so she can work on her case. She had a meeting with a client. Tracey looked at Monique to check on her. “You want to go somewhere with me?” “Alright then just let me get ready.” Monique got dressed and so did Trina and they went to the store. “Girl this is fun.” “It sure is.” Monique was feeling sad and Tracey was worried about her. “What’s wrong Monique?” “I just never had the chance to say thank you to you and your family for being there for me when I was in trouble like this.” “Mo we is family that’s what we’re suppose to do. Don’t worry about that.” Monique gave her a hug and they were leaving the store after buying them something. Tracey was trying to put her money in her pocket but a couple of change fell on the ground. “Damn’t. Hold on Monique I have to pick up my change that dropped.” While she was getting her change, Monique saw her dad in her car smoking a cigarette. He threw it out the window and looked at her mean nodding his head no at a medium speed. Then he drove off so Tracey won’t see him “Did you see my dad?” “No… why?” “Because he was just, never mind.” “Ok then.” When they got home, their front door was open. Both of them ran in the house and saw that their things were meddled through. “I’ll go call my dad.” Tracey ran upstairs and called her dad while Monique was looking around to see if she can spot the burglar in the house. The guy came up behind her quietly and put his arm around her neck and pointed the gun at her head. “Where your money at?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Shut up!” He hollered then he looked around the house and back at her. “Who else is in here?” “I’m not telling you.” He pushed her to the ground and started hitting on her and kicking her while Monique was screaming. Tracey heard them and got off the phone. The man was on Monique, and Tracey quietly got a bat and saw the man on top of her trying to rape her. Tracey started to walk behind them quietly and slowly. “I’m gonna do something to you that’s going to make you feel dirty.” He started to unbutton her shirt while she was moving her head left to right slowly because she was weak to move. Until Tracey tried hitting him with the bat but he moved his head out the way and brought her down with him. Hitting on her a couple of times. “Looks like I got two girls to kill.” He was going to stab her but Monique shot him in the shoulder, arm and leg. Having him yell out in pain and fall on the ground next to Tracey holding his wounds. Monique and Tracey hugged and then her dad came in pointing the gun at the guy that tried to rob them. He put his gun away and put the guy in handcuffs, then he gave his daughter and Monique a hug because they were okay. It was getting late and Monique had her things waiting by the door and she gave Paul and Tracey a hug before she left. “You sure you don’t need a ride home? It’s too dark for you to be walking home all by yourself.” “Yes I will be fine trust me on that one.” “Call me if there’s nay problems at the house okay?” “Yeah I’ll do that.” “Bye.” “Bye.” Monique left and Tracey closed the door behind her about to cry because she was going to be in hell when she get home. “It’ll be alright.” “I hope so dad.” They hugged and went to sleep. Monique was walking home until a car was following her. She knew it was someone watching her. She kept on walking then she started to run all the way to the front door. The car pulled up in the drive way real quick and the window was rolled down while she was trying to get in the house. There was a key in her pocket and she unlocked and was about to get in but then someone stopped her. “MONIQUE WAIT!” She slowly turned around to look at him. He got out the car and he was wearing a black hat with a red C on the center of it. He was wearing a white t-shirt, with a white jacket on and it had red and black stripes on it. Then he was wearing his Jordans shoes. He was lighting a cigarette and then smoked it. Looking at Monique and blowing smoke out his mouth. Then he stopped. “Welcome home baby girl.” She was shocked that it was her dad. Glenn started walking up to Monique having her get scared. When he got in front of her he blew some smoke in her face. She tried not looking at him. “Did you miss me?” “Why did you chase me home?” “Do you got a problem with it?” “Yes.” He smacked her. “I can if I want to because I’m your father.” She looked at him while her hand was behind her trying to open the door a tiny bit so her dad won’t see it. “But I guess, you don’t want to be with me. Is that what you want? No father in your life?” “I didn’t say that.” “Really? Because for damn sure it sounds like it.” Monique punched him and pushed him to the ground. Then she open the door quickly and ran in the house running upstairs to her room. Her dad came in her room and started fighting with her but Monique was fighting back. They was hurting each other and both of them was losing their energy to fight. Glenn punched her and pushed her on the bed she passed out. Then Glenn was getting weak and fell out landing on Monique’s chest. Monique was feeling like she was dying.
Chapter 12: Secret Glenn is going to have sex with his daughter. (These two chapter will switch because of what is going to happen to Monique when she gets kicked out. But he‘s going to make out and have sex with her because he wants the spark back.) Weeks after, her face is getting better and starts to take care of her bruises. Monique wakes up realizing that it’s getting better on face and some parts of her body is also . But she missed her boyfriend and needed to see someone. There was a letter from the hospital that hasn’t been opened. She was worried what the results might be, so she took a deep breathe and opened the envelope. It said that she had no disease but she was pregnant. Monique couldn’t believe what she had read in the letter and was sad about having a baby by her dad. Until her phone was vibrating and it was her boyfriend Anthony. He sent her a text message. It read: Hey baby just checking on you since we haven’t talked in a while. Was wondering if you wanted to hand out sometime today. Plz say yes my© J. Monique smiled and was trying to figure out how she was going to hide her bruises. Then she decided to put make up on her face (a whole lot) so that way it can hide. She text him back and he received it. It read: Yeah sure there’s things I need to tell you but when are you coming?” He read and sent her back a text. It read: Right now I’m outside if you can see me. But I’ll wait for you to get ready and just let me know. Monique looked out the window and saw his car and was happy. She hurried up and got ready into a beautiful outfit and was putting a small amount of make up on parts of her face where it was a visible bruise. But the bruise was small. When she was ready she took a deep breathe and sent a text to her dad. It read: Dad can I hang out with my friend? He read it and sent her back a text. It read: Yes you may but be back at 8. Love you and have fun. Monique smiled and kissed her a phone until Anthony hunk his horn for her to come. She fixed herself up and made sure she was looking beautiful for him. Her purse was with her and she had a lot of money in it from her dad. Then she open the door and closed it and walked up to him and his car, giving him a hug and a kiss. “Hey baby how are you?” “Good but you look good today. I must of missed something good.” “Not really but I wouldn’t mind sharing it with you. But what do you want to do?” “Hang out at the mall, get something to eat and watch the sun go down until it gets dark.” “Sounds like a good plan for me sweetie.” “I know it is.” He gave her a kiss and they both went in the car and he drove to the mall. There was a lot of people there shopping and doing other things too. Monique and Anthony was walking around buying stuff and then they were hungry when they bought enough stuff for themselves and bought a present for the other person but they didn’t know. “You hungry?” “Yeah where do you want to eat at?” “McDonalds.” They was at a table eating their food. Anthony was eating his fries and burger and Monique was eating her burger and drinking her shake. “This is the best food I love to eat.” “I can tell, you ate that burger up.” They both laughed about it. “You got jokes Ant.” “I know huh?” “Yeah.”
He gave her a kiss and then they finished eating their food. When they was done, they put their garbage in the trash and started walking back to the car. “I had a good time with you so far.” “Me too but I wan to show you something.” He pulled out a jewelry box and it was red. Monique was wondering what it was. He opened it and it was a ring with a necklace to go with it. Monique was surprised and covered her mouth because it was so beautiful. “Oh my goodness it’s so beautiful.” “Let me put it on for you.” He put on the necklace for her and then put the ring on her finger. “It’s a promise ring.” “I love it so much just like I love you.” “Thank you baby.” “But I got to show you something.” She pulled out a watch and it was a picture of them together on the background of the watch. It had a lot of jewelry on the watch and he put it on looking at the picture. “That’s tight. Thank you baby.” “Every time you think of me and want to spend time with me then you can look at the watch and it’ll tell you.” “Mostly it’s saying for the rest of my life to spend time with you.” They laughed and he was kissing her because it was beautiful. “I love it so much but do you want to go to the beach to see the sun go down?” “Sure.” He drove to the beach and there was birds flying around, fishes in the water, waves in the ocean. They was sitting on top of the car and was looking at the ocean and the sun trying to go down slowly. “This is my first time seeing the sun go down?” “Really?” “Yeah.” “That’s a good thing I brought you here to experience it.” “Thank you.” “So how is you and your dad doing?” “That’s what I’ve been wanting to tell you.” “What is it?” “Me and my dad hasn’t been having the best of relationship in the house. We fight, we argue and it doesn’t get us no where.” “Has he done something to you that wasn’t normal for him to do?” “Yeah a lot of things.” “Like what?” “I don’t know how to explain this because it’s really hard.” “Don’t worry take your time baby.” “He, he um, he raped me.” “Are you kidding me?” “Yes I wouldn’t lie to you.” “I’m so sorry baby.” “It’s okay I’m fine.” “No you’re not I can tell you can’t get past that.” “He gave bruises that damaged my body so bad. I can’t even get in the water without it being in pain.” “I can tell that you are going through so much hell. If you ever need me, I’ll be here for you and will be right behind you every step of the way.” “You promise?” “I promise. I love you too much for you to get hurt again.” “But the point about it, I don’t want to get him in trouble.” “Why not?” “Because I love him too much for that to happen. Even though he did this to me, he still loves me and it’s just not him. It feels like someone else is taking over his body and having him do it. Like the devil just got him wrapped up into doing this to me.” “But you can always rebuke the devil out of him so he won’t do it. And stop sticking up for you dad it’s driving me nuts.” “Why can I?” “Well if he’s doing that much damage to you then he must not love you like that.” “Well he does okay?” “You sure about that?” “Yeah I’m sure, I think.” “Monique I don’t want you to die from child abuse it’s too much for me to handle.” “I just need to do something before it does happen.” “Don’t say that Mo. Don’t ever say that again. I hate when people talk death into their life it’s just not right.” “I’m sorry.” “I forgive you.” They was kissing and the sun was almost gone only a little bit of the sun was left. When it was dark outside they were in the car kissing in the back seat. He was on top of her and was feeling on her body while kissing each other. Then he was about to have sex with her by trying to take off her clothes but she stopped him and they both sat up to talk. “I’m sorry Ant but I just can’t do this. Not now.” “What’s wrong, did I go to fast?” “No it’s not that, it’s just, I went to the hospital when the day after I got raped.” “You serious it was that bad?” “I wasn’t feeling well at all and I threw up three times that mourning.” “What else happened?” “Well here’s the letter that they sent me and there’s something I want you to read.” Monique gave it to him and he read what it says. When he read that she was pregnant, he put the letter down and had his head down sad. “Anthony I hope I didn’t make you upset.” “You don’t have anything but, what I just read hurt my heart.” “You’re pregnant?” “I’m really sorry that you had to hear this.” “I lost total respect for your father.” “Why?” “Because he took your virginity, he raped you, and he gave you bruises all over your body that might not be possible to heal up.” “Baby we can get stronger from this. I want you to be there right along with me to get better.” “But I wanted to be the one to make love to you, take care of you, and have a baby by me not by your father.” “I’m sorry about what happened but I can’t do anything about it. If you want me to lose the baby then I will.” “No. No. Don’t lose it, I want to be the father of your baby if you don’t mind.” “Of course I want you to be the father of my child. I love you too much for you not to be there.” “I love you too.” They started kissing each other and then her phone was ringing a couple of times then it stopped. The call she missed was from her father. “I missed my dad’s phone call and it’s past 8. So I need to go.” “Let me take you home.” She went into the passenger seat and he got out and sat in the driver seat and closed the door. He start the car and drove her home, when he got to the house he pulled up in the driveway. Her dad was looking out from the window but made sure they didn’t see him. “Thanks for the ride home Ant.” “You’re welcome sweetie. Call me when you want to hang out sometime soon.” “I’ll do that.” He kissed her three times and then she got out the car an closed the door. Then while she was going to the front door, he was pulling out the driveway and drove home. When she got in the house the whole house was dark and then she turned on the light. When she did, Glenn was looking right at her by the stairs. He was wearing a black hat with a red C on it, and a white scarf on his head under the hat, black pants and his Jordans shoes on. “Dad what’s wrong?” “I told you to be home at exactly 8 and no later than that.” “But I’m here now so at least accept that.” “I don’t want to accept it because you didn’t follow my rules.” “Dad I’m really tired and I need to get rest after what just happened to me.” “No. I’m going to teach you a lesson not to be coming home at this time of night when I can be worried about you.” He pushed her against the wall and started hitting on her while she was crying out for help. Then he kneed her in the stomach and in the face. But then she pushed him to the ground real hard and then she went into the kitchen to a get a knife. He got up and saw that she had it pointed at him. “What you going to do with that knife?” “Keep hitting me dad and I’m a show you what it feels like to stabbed by your daughter.” “Try me.” “All I need is some rest and you keep testing me.” “I’m not testing you but if you want to stab me then do it.” She put the knife down and then she care less. “You know what, I’m not even going to waist my time with you.” Monique started to walk up the stairs until her dad tried to grab her but she cut his arm (a long cut) and it started to have blood come out. Glenn looked back at his daughter. “You cut me.” “Dad I am really sorry I thought you was trying to hit me.” “Give me the knife.” Monique gave him the knife and he put in the kitchen sink. Holding his cut with his hand so it can stop and get pressure on it. “Dad I’m so so so so sorry I didn’t mean for that to happen.” “Go upstairs and get a small towel quickly.” Monique ran upstairs and got a small towel out the bathroom and tried to hurry up and give it to him. He hold it against the cut on his arm and sat on the stairs tired. “Are you going to be okay?” “Yeah sweetie I am don’t worry about me.” “Why not?” “Leave me alone Monique I’m not in the mood.” The blood was not bleeding that much so he went into the kitchen and put Band-Aid patch on the cut so it can be healed by tomorrow. He looked at his daughter upset. “What?” “You cut me is what you did.” “I told you I was sorry.” “Sorry is not enough. Go to your room Monique I don’t want to look at you.” “No. “Why not?” “Because I want to make sure you’re taken care of before I got to bed.” “I’m telling you Mo, go to bed or I’m a do something that I will regret.” “Go ahead and do then if you got the balls to.” “Say that one time and I’ll whip your ass.” “Whatever.” Glenn grabbed her and they got into a fight hitting each other. He put his arm around her neck trying to choke her but she bit his thumb and he yelled out in pain letting her go. Then she ran into the kitchen and got the same knife that she use to cut her dad’s arm. But then her dad was walking towards and tried to get the knife away from her and then she was pushing him off of her. But then Monique pushed her dad to the ground having Glenn bring her down with him. She was on top of him and was trying to stab him but Glenn got out the way and she stabbed the floor and he punched her having her get off of him. And she also let go of the knife holding her eye because it was in pain. He got the knife and got up pointing it at his daughter. But she got up and looked at him with a painful eye. “I love you and I will always love you but you need to stop testing me like this. It’s not going to help you win between me and you.” “You know what I’m done with you. Hate me if you want, because I’m leaving.” “What?” “Yeah that’s right, I’m leaving you until you start changing yourself.” “You right, you shouldn’t be around me after what I did to you.” “What do you mean?” “I damaged your body, I raped you when you’re my daughter, and calling you names this is not me.” “Dad I know it’s not you, but you can’t be bringing yourself down like this.” Glenn is going to sit on the steps and look at her. “Everybody’s leaving me. Your mom left me with your sister. Now you’re about to leave. It’s so hard it’s like I’m fucking up my life towards you girls.” “Dad I still love you no matter what.” “I know you do.” “And because of that, I’m not going to leave you in this house alone.” “Thank you sweetie.” “Do you need me to do anything?” “Something sexual.” “Like what?” “I want to fuck you. I don’t know, I just need that old spark back by making love to you.” “Dad I don’t know about this.” “I promise I won’t tell nobody.” “But I’m scared.” Glenn got a hold of her arm and gently pulls her to him and she sits on his lap while looking at each other. “Don’t be afraid Monique. I’m not going to hurt you.” “You promise?” “I promise and I wouldn’t lie to you either.” They look deep into each other’s eyes and starts making out with each other and kept going and going. While they were kissing, they both stood up and he picks her up and carries her upstairs until he accidentally falls to the ground and he landed on top of Monique. They both were laughing about it and then they both got back up and he carried her to the bedroom and laid her on the bed. Glen climbed on top of her and started kissing her again. He was feeling on her and was unbuttoning her pants but his daughter stopped him. “Dad, I’m really scared to do this.” “It’s okay Monique I got you.” He finished taking off her pants and shirt then he took off all of his clothes. Then he took off her bra and underwear, and he took off his boxers. Half of their bodies were covered up with the blanket while they was about to have sex. Glenn looked deep into her eyes. “You ready?” “Yeah but nervous.” “It’ll be alright.” Glenn turned her around and entered in her from the back and started getting head from her while she was moaning. He was holding onto one of her breasts squeezing it a couple of times. He was getting some and it was having her be in pain a little bit. “Who’s pussy is this?” “Yours daddy.” “Who’s your daddy?” “You are Glenn.” “Does it feel good?” He slaps her butt and she moans. “Yeah it does daddy. Discipline me daddy, discipline me.” He smacks her butt a couple times. “Daddy it feels so good.” “I know it does and I’m about to make it feel better.” Glenn entered in her and started making love to her while she was moaning loud because it hurt her. He was looking at her from the corner of his eye while his face was right next to hers. Making sure she was okay. They was holding each other and Monique was kissing her dad to keep her mind out of the pain. 20 minutes passed and he entered in her all the way having her cry and moan at the same time. After entering in her all the way for a good while, they stopped and he rolled off of her and laid by her while they both was panting. Both of them looked at each other smiling and was a kissing a couple of times. “Thank you for that.” “You’re welcome.” “This is between me and you.” “Let’s keep it that way.” Glenn gave her a kiss on the lips and he turned off the lamp light and they both went to sleep. Monique was having tears run down her face because he cheated on Anthony and didn’t know how to tell him.
