Esmeray's POV:

Ms. Lee comes towards me as i'm sitting on the bench, sketching a drawing i've been working on. She puts a hand on my shoulder, interrupting me from sketching.

"Your mother is here to pick you up sweetie." She says softly. I start packing my sketch book and head towards the gates. My mother stands there smiling at me, what is up with her?

"Sweetie im so happy to see you. You look so cute today." My mother says as she kneels down to hug me. As she's hugging me, I feel her breath against my ear,
"You're ruined." She whispers to me. My heart skips a beat at what she just said. Fear kicks in and I stand there frozen as she lets go and smiles at me with rage filled eyes.

"Thank you again Ms. Lee, i'll take good care of her."

"Of course, have a good rest of your day! Bye Esmeray." Ms. Lee waves and heads back.

My mother grabs my wrist, digging her nails into me arm. We get to her car and I get in at the same time she does. And then it begins.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! CUTTING YOURSELF AND HAVING YOUR FUCKING TEACHER REPORT THAT SHIT! ARE YOU A FUCKING IDIOT? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE I COULD'VE GOTTEN IN IF SHE REPORTED THAT TO AUTHORITIES? YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT." She slams her hand against the steering wheel and starts driving home. It then hits me, no one is home to protect me. Who knows whats going to happen to me. Tears automatically fall from my eyes as fear settles in at what my mother is capable of. Please, dont hurt me.

Tamara's POV:

Finally, school is over. I hurry over to Mandy to head home as soon as possible. I know that Amais and Jensen wont be home so Esmeray will be alone with my mother since she picked her up. Esmeray gets out of school at 3:00 and I get out at 3:30 so she's going to be alone for a bit.

"Mandy lets go come on." I say as we scurry to her car. We get in and Mandy already knows to get there fast. We pull into the drive way and I exit the car, Mandy does the same.

"You don't have to come with me, I dont want to get you involved in this."

"No it's okay, i dont mi-" We both get interrupted as we hear glass break from inside of my house. My heart drops and we freeze for a sec before I run to the front door. I barge in to find Esmeray bent over with blood coming from her face. She has bruises all over her and shes bleeding badly.

"Esmeray.." I whisper as Im frozen in fear. The sight of my sister in this condition haunts me. She then stands up right and faces my direction. She has cuts on her face with blood staining her clothes. I look next to her to see my mother, with blood on her fists and shoes, indicating she beat and kick the shit out of my sister. Mandy is standing behind me, taking in the sight, and she says faintly under her breath,

"oh my god.." I glance at her and she has tears in her eyes. Esmeray is like her little sister so it must be just as hard to take in this sight.

"Tamara.." My sister manages to let out. "help me."
