The wind continues to thrash my flame hair around. The sun is high in the air melting all the dirty snow leaving only muck.
'Now little Lisa is only 9 years old
She's trying to figure out why the world is so cold
Why she's all alone and ain't never met her family
Mama's always gone and she never met her daddy
Part of her is missing and nobody will listen
Mama is on drugs getting high up in the kitchen
Bringing home men at different hours of the night
Starting with some laughs -- usually ending in a fight
Sneaking in her room while her mama's knocked out
Trying to have his way and little Lisa says 'ouch'
She tries to resist but then all he does is beat her
Tries to tell her mom but her mama don't believe her
Lisa is stuck up in the world on her own
Forced to think that hell is a place called home
Nothing else to do but get some clothes and pack
She says she's 'bout to run away and never come back.'
My usual ringtone plays an I glance at the phone seeing it's my mom. I think about answering but decide against it.
My house looms over me like an unwanted shadow. I take a deep breath and open the large glass doors and is instantly knocked over.
"oww" I groan.
"wooh"I hear my mother say.
I guess she had been running out while I was walking in. "fhgdhj" I mumble not making even slightly sense. My mom stares at me wide eyed and than rushes over to hug me.
"Erin, I thought you had been kidnapped or ......" she lets the sentence hang. She doesn't go on. She knows the word she was gonna say brought horrible memories. My mood drops from angry to depressed. My mom sees this.
" im sorry hun.." I do not let her continue.
"shush.... YOUR GETTING A DIVORCE!" I scream. My words startle her and she's momentarily shocked.
" How do you know that?"
"I overheard you in the office" my voice has now raised an octave. Her face pales and I now know she hadn't planned on telling me anytime soon. Tears fight there way to escape my eyes but I refuse to let them. I have never been much of a cryer and I'm not starting now. I haven't cried much since it what had happened when I was young. One of the most terrible things to experience when your young. Scratch that ANY AGE.
"I had meant to tell you" she encourages.
"BULLSHIT!" I scream than run up the stairs and slam my bedroom door leaving my mother crying downstairs alone. I feel an emptyness. My cell rings and i look at the callar ID. Its a text from Devon. 'come over'
I smile 'i should forgive him' I text back that I'll be right over. I than sneak downstairs and make a bolt for the door so my mom can't ask or say anything. Once outside I slip into my car and silently pull out.
When I arrive I knock on the door. Devon opens smiling looking happy. He hugs me a littke hard than pulls me inside. His face than changes to one of anger. I'm taken aback till I remember I hadn't forgiven him.
"I forgive you" I say cheerfully.
He sneers and puts his face near mine"YOU FORGIVE ME? NO I FORGIVE YOU!"
He push's me down but I don't get hurt except for a scraped elbow.
"my parents are getting divorced" I whisper.
His eyes widen and he pulls me into an embrace. I bury my head into his shoulder. I let my tears stream out. For the divorce and the re surfaced memory of what had shattered a part of her soul.
I look up into his eyes. His gentle blue eyes. Those eyes were the first thing that had attracted me to him.
I had met him last year at a track race. Amber had dragged me there because she knew he liked me. Sure enough she was right and Devon had asked me out. His blue eyes pinning me to the spot. I had said yes.
Those eyes now comfort me. I believe his past moods are just a phase and were gonna pass soon. Boy was I wrong.
