Warning, childhood trauma will occur in this chapter such as mentions of abuse and suicide ________________________________ Sicily Italy, 2003 age |3| ~the beach~
"Non metterti la sabbia in bocca bella" mama says [Don't put the sand in your mouth beautiful]
this only caused me to cry and scream
Papa shouts "Domenico vieni a fare una foto con tua sorell" [Domenico come take a photo with your sisiter]
"ok papà!" Domenico reply's
"Okay state tutti uniti, farò in modo che qualcuno ci scatti una foto" papa says [Okay everyone stand together, I'm gonna get someone to take a photo of us]
"oh dovresti chiederglielo" domenico says while pointing at a nice looking lady [oh you should ask her]
"ok ok," father says while walking over to the lady "scusi signorina. ti dispiacerebbe fare una foto a me e alla mia famiglia?" He asks [excuse me miss. would you mind taking a photo of me and my family?]
"Oh si, certamente" she says [oh yes of course] papa hands her the camera "ok tutti dicono PASTA" she shouts [ok everyone say "PASTA"]
"PASTA" we all shout ________________________________ i remember everything from my childhood The good and the bad ________________________________Sicily Italy, 2008. Age |8| I was woken up in the middle of the night by whimpers and crys. It sounded like it was coming from the kitchen. Quietly I make my way over the the kitchen
I see my parents yelling at each other I Quickly tip toed to the table and hid underneath, making sure not to make any noise
"NE HO AVUTO ABBASTANZA. IO PAGO LE FOTTUTE FATTURE IN MODO CHE TU PUOI ACQUISTARE MERDA PER TE E PER I TUOI FIGLI DEL CAZZO. E SE TI HO TRADOTTO. FACCIO TUTTO PER VOI PERSONE SBAGLIATE." Papa yells
[ I'VE HAD ENOUGH. I PAY THE FUCKING BILLS SO THAT YOU COULD BUY SHIT FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FUCKING KIDS. SO WHAT IF I CHEATED ON YOU. I DO ALL LOT FOR YOU UNGREATFUL PEOPLE. ]
"QUESTO NON TI DÀ UN MOTIVO PER IMBROGLIARE. TI HO AMATO. VOI BAMBINI TI AMI. PERCHE' FARESTI QUESTO A NOI. CUCINO E PULIVO PER VOI. ORA CHI SI PRENDERA' CURA DI TE? QUEL TURISTA CHI E' QUI SOLO PER 1 SETTIMANA? SEI COSI' STUPIDO?" mama shouts back
[ THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A REASON TO CHEAT. I LOVED YOU. YOUR CHILDREN LOVE YOU. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US. I COOK AND CLEAN FOR YOU. NOW WHOS GONNA TAKE CARE OF YOU? THAT TOURIST WHOS ONLY HERE FOR 1 WEEK? ARE YOU THAT STUPID?]
papa doesn't say a word. instead he punches my mama right in the face causing her to fall to her knees
I would've tried to help my mama but I was to afraid
papa doesn't stop there. he kicks her repeatedly
mamas screams fill the room. i cant believe it. my mama and papa love each-other. why are they doing this?
suddenly i see my older brother appear into the room he takes note that I'm under the table he puts his finger to his mouth, which told me to be quiet
He punched my papa in the back of the head my father stoped kicking my mama and he turns around and starts beating up my brother.
I've had enough now. I get up from my hiding spot and yell at my papa to get off of my brother
"PAPA IL TUO UCCIDELO FERMARE" I screamed while tears were flowing from my eyes [ PAPA YOUR KILLING HIM STOP]
he takes one look at me. and doesn't hesitate to pick me up and throw me against the wall
I hit my head so hard that I passed out
My mama got up and ran to come help me. My papa stoped beating up my brother to come look at me as well.
My mom looked for a pulse on me. Nothing
"L'HAI UCCISA." SHE CRYED OUT [YOU KILLED HER]
My brother ran to the phone to call 911. but before they could answer my papa jumped out of the window killing himself.
________________________________ I was rushed to the hospital. Where out of some miracle they saved me. ~ My papa, thankfully didn't make it. ________________________________ Miami Florida, 2013 age |13| I walked into my new house in awe. It definitely wasn't luxurious but it was my new home. A breath of fresh air
A place where I wouldn't have to be reminded of that night where I almost died. And where my father took his life ________________________________ Miami Florida, 2021 Age |21|
It's been a couple of years since the big move from Italy to America.
I would say I'm basically fluent in English.
I have made a bunch of friends.
My brother is starting his own family with his wife Sandra and her kid lisa
I'm not sure why they married so young. But whatever floats their boat I guess.
So now it's just me In my own apartment. My mama was put into a hospital because of her cancer My brother was the one who noticed that she looked like she was sick and unhealthy.
We decided to sell the house to give ourselves a little bit of extra money. Since we could barley afford anything
My brother surprisingly let me keep all of the money.
With the money I bought myself a apartment. It's not fancy but It will do.
I realized that I needed a job so I went to work at a popular restaurant Which helped a little bit ________________________________ Miami Florida, 2022 age |22|
My friend intruded me to pole dancing. She claims it pays well.
So here I am practicing my ass off in order to make it into one of the best paying clubs in downtown Miami. Red box
~ All of the hard work payed of because I passed the training.
I was told i would have to work every weekend. (Fri-sun)
I went shopping to look for some cute outfits. I'm actually really exited for my new job! ________________________________ Hey guys. Hope you found this chapter to be okay. Anastasia's childhood is very sad. But it does get better for her! New updates every Saturday
