CHAPTER FIVE GOLDEN: That song by Jill Scott "Golden" was the song of my life until one day... All I was doing was taking my earnings to the bank and getting ready to celebrate another job well done. Who knew that that would be the last time I would ever look in the eyes of my baby girl and the love of my life. That accident changed everything. Cause I'm pose to be dead and buried six feet deep, but instead I'm locked away with no way out of this hell I'm living in. I tried to escape and find my way back to the life I belonged to but the more I try the more I'm reminded that no one will expect me to be alive. I had no answers and no options that's why I don't understand why they won't just kill me. I have no purpose on earth. I'm going to miss my baby growing up and I'm sure Daren has moved on... When I met Daren, I was on the verge of shutting the door on love then he just came along and unlocked the doors of my heart. I took it very slow and soon we were engaged to be married. After our baby was born we were preparing to plan the weeding. Our families were excited and couldint wait to see us happy together with more kids to come, but now that was all ruined and my life was cold and dark as if I had nothing and no one. I tried praying but I don't think my prayers are reaching heaven quick enough. I tried keeping faith but now I was ready to give up with no regrets.
"Are you ready for diner?" One of the guys asked me.
I looked up to him and shook my head yes, I was very hungry, they feed me stale food but at least it was something.
He untied me so that I could eat and be free for a little while.
"I'll be back in five minutes." he said to me.
I nodded and consumed what I could before he returned. All I was feeling was worthless and doubtful. For a second I dosed off and saw a glimpse of a little girl with a man and they were just smiling and seemed to be having a good time in the park. I just watched as they played and enjoyed each other's company.
"HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME! I heard someone shout.
I jumped out of my deep thoughts and looked up at the man as he asked me was I done with my plate, I said yes as he gave me my cup of water and waited until I was done. Once he was gone away with the dishes I just sat still and wondered what that was all about. Ever since I was kidnapped and locked away, I have been having visions and dreams of my child and sweet Daren. I been wondering what the signs were and how they could help me in this situation. I thought about finding something and ending it while they were out and all they had to do was find a way to dispose of my body and the world would be better, but every time something tells me no and I keep hearing the words "wait & patience". I decided to pray one more time but why would God want to torture me with my child and fiancé if I'm never going to see them again?

SHYNEICE
"I'm telling you dad, she did something to me I don't usually have headaches like this."
"Sweetie go take another Tylenol and lay down it may be too much sun or something."
I was tired of arguing with my dad about my feelings. I wasn't trying to ruin my dad's happiness but I knew something was wrong with the women we choose. I just couldint put my finger on it. Maybe I was tripin, I'm just a child maybe I'm trying too hard to be an adult. I guess with my mom gone I want my dad to be protected, being young or not I loved my family and just wanted the best for them.
"You're right dad, my apologies I guess with no women around I'm just looking out for us. I know we will never meet a lady like mom, by the way you speak about her she doesn't exsist. "
"You right baby but let me handle it, your dad has it all under control and I promise no one will ruin us or get between us. If she can't love you she can't love me we are a package deal."
I smiled at my dad and apologized again, told him I loved him and made my way to my room. I decided to take another shower and try to calm down. My head was pounding and I was feeling dizzy and the room was spinning. I still feel like she did something but I just couldn't prove it. I took a long hot shower and decided to let it go. I heard a knock on my door and knew that it was my dad.
"Come in dad."
He walked in and found me with a new outfit on.
"Another shower?"
"Yup, I just felt the need."
"Well look I invited her over for dinner and I know we just met her but I like her a lot so can you please try and get along with her?"
I looked at my dad in disgust but decided to try for him.
"Ok dad I got you what day is she coming?"
"Tonight actually, so get ready and try to look your best."
I gave him one more look and proceeded to look for a nice dress, I wasn't in the mood for nothing but to obey my dad I prepared myself and made it downstairs to the table. He had chicken wings and spaghetti with wine for them and juice or water for me. My dad didn't allow me to have sodas like that. He wanted to avoid any issues as he could.
"Shyneice your dress is pretty where did you get it?" Regina asked me as she looked at me with the fakest smile ever.
"Well my dad picked this out actually."I said to her matching her fakeness.
'Oh Daren, where is your restroom?' Regina asked my dad.
'Shyneice, would you show her where it is while I finish up the rest of the chicken?" My dad asked me with a warm smile on his face.
I looked at her and told her to follow me, as we made it to the restroom she pushed me inside and closed the door and pushed me against the door.
"Look little girl, let's get one thing straight soon I'll be the main lady in your dads life and you will not get in the way of that now I suggest you get it together and fast or I'll tell your dad on you!!"
"Tell him what?!"I asked her in an angry tone.
She slapped me cross the face and the tears started forming in my eyes. I was scared and shooken up by the fact that she would do something like that to a little girl.
"How are those pills treating you?" She asked with a devilish grin on her face.
"What did you do to me? ! DADD!!" I tried to scream but she forced her weight on me and covered my mouth.
I bit her and she slapped me again but this time a little harder. As I'm getting myself together she took the razor that was sitting in the cabinet and started cutting herself then she forced the razor in my hand. I heard my dad banging on the door and when she opened it I was caught with the razor and couldint explain myself at all.
"Shyneice, what the hell is wrong with you?" My dad asked me.
"She started it dad I promise you she did!" I couldint hold it in and I started crying.
"Just go to your room and I'll deal with you later.!"He demanded.
I ran to my room with tears all in my eyes. I had to save my dad from this women but how was the question.
