Iyesha' Flashback.

"Mom I can't do this anymore, I need to go."
Ayesha tried to quickly pack as much as she could into her small suit case but everything she placed in was thrown out by her mother.

"Stop this nonsense now."
Her mom demanded but Iyesha refused. She needed to get out of the house. She had been violated, but no one wanted to help her.

"No, let me go. You obviously don't care."
She huffed and began to pack again.

"What even are you speaking of?"
Her mom's face contorted in confusion.

"You know exactly what I mean. Don't act silly."
Her eyes were full of hurt and anger.

"Iyesha, now you're being disrespectful."
Her mother huffed.

Iyesha said nothing as she placed her laptop and chargers into her suitcase on top of everything else before zipping it closed.

"Iyesha baby talk to me."
Her mother began to plea.

"The last time I did, you called me a damn liar and a fool."
Her mother was shocked with the words that came out of her mouth.

"Watch it."
She tried not to raise a hand to her daughter.

"You told me that I was a liar when I came to you crying, in pain from what that man siting at the kitchen did to me. You told me I was mistaken and that I was a fool to think he would look at me in that way, hell even touch me."
Her mom looked taken back.

"That's exactly what you said. Your favorite person in the whole world raped me and you told me I was liar. And when he got me pregnant you called me a whore for getting an abortion. I was 15! And it wasn't the last time."
Tears streamed down Iyesha's face.

"You allow him in this house even I tell you he makes me uncomfortable. Deacon Johnson raped me on multiple occasions and got your fifteen year old daughter pregnant. And you wanted to know why I wouldn't go to church anymore!"

"Iyesha hunny—-"
Iyesha glared at her mom.

"No you don't get to shut me down again. That man violated me on so many levels and you allowed him to. Even in this very house. I'm leaving."
Her mother shook her head, she could not believe what she was hearing.

Iyesha pushed past her and didn't look back. Walking back the kitchen, Deacon Johnson stared her down as she rushed out of the house. He had been listening to their whole arguement. He couldn't feel an ounce of guilt even if he wanted to.

Iyesha had no idea where she was going but she was getting out of  Ohio. An 18 year old Iyesha left and never looked back.

"Oh my goodness, you scared me."
Iyesha jumped out of her skin as Santo snaked his tattooed arms around her waist.

"Good."
She felt his smirk against her skin.

"Let me take you somewhere."
Iyesha turned to look at him. His eyes stared into hers.

"Where?"
He shrugged, he just wanted to get her alone. All to himself.

"It doesn't matter. Grab your things, let's go."
They were still in her apartment. He had earlier left to burn his bloodied clothes and grab new ones.
