A young Nina sits at home all alone her father still not home from work. She couldn't have been older then ten and she felt so hungry. Her mom died only a few days ago, her dad beginning to act weird and avoiding her. If anything he'd mutter how much she looked like her mother before storming away.
He was always home before now. He soon came stumbling in smelling and making Nina scrunch up her nose in distaste. She tried telling him all about her day when he simply shoved her with one hand out of his way. She fell over and looked confused thinking it was just an accident. She followed him as he cooked dinner licking her lips finally sitting and waiting as he ate in front of her.... Giving her nothing. When she started to cry? He back handed her.
"You ungrateful brat here." He gave her so little to eat and she tried to hold in her sniffles scared he'd do it again..... but he'd do much worse then that as she got older.
Nina sat in the passenger seat of her fathers car staring stoically out the window. They passed through multiple states with her in the same position except for when her father Ivan Verro made her go get snacks or if they had a restroom break. This was the longest she ever went without getting a punishment in the past 7 years. She loved it. But deep down she knew he'd be pent up with anger and lash out on her possibly even worse then normal. Neither talked as the radio played her fathers music of old rock music. When they pulled up to their new house she could hear her father sigh and grumble.
The house looked good in the pictures, and in person but the rest of the neighborhood? It was easy to tell this was the hood.
Yes they had these back in Florida as well but her father spat on people who lived there. He took the quickest house he could get his hands on for his new position as CEO in the company he had been with longer then Nina was born.
People stood in their doorway speaking at the newcomers making Nina shrink into herself as she got out of the car. The moving truck coming right as they pulled up, meaning they helped the movers unpack.
Her father having this fake smile and joking with the men as Nina silently grabbed boxes to take in the house.
One of the movers was a young man and tried hitting on her but she just ignored it or smiled politely and shy unsure what to say. Soon all their stuff was inside and they were gone. Her father grumbling as he looked out the windows. "Go get groceries. I'm gonna order a damn security system." He spat calling some number as Nina sighed.
She took the car keys and left the house to a small grocery store. She went in and grabbed what she needed for food for the next two weeks before leaving. When she got home she made sure to bring in his beer first that he had left in the trunk during their road trip.
Sometimes she prayed his drunk ass crashed and ended the suffering she felt.
Nina felt like she'd never be happy. She'd never escape his grasp on her. A knock soon came on the door making her father grumble before that fake smile came to his face and he swung it open. Two Hispanic women at the door one older and one in her early 40's, with 3 kids was at the door with a homemade casserole. "Hi I'm Geny Martinez. We heard some new neighbors moved in and thought we'd welcome you to the neighborhood." She smiled as her kids stood still yet smacking each other unnoticeable unless you were looking.
