"So this is where you live?" He said in disgust

If I were him, I'll be disgusted too

"Yeah! Sorry about the environment. I'll get you to the police station tomorrow. It's late" I rubbed my palms together feeling embarrassed.

"I'll manage. So... You wanted to kill yourself?" He sits on my mat. Damn! He doesn't forget things huh?

"Why not sit on the chair" I insisted

"Nah. Why do you want to kill yourself"

"Life is a bitch okay?" I snapped

Am I beginning to get irritated at his niceness or it's because of the fact that he was trying to state the obvious.

"Sorry for asking" he sighed

"I'm s-sorry for snapping at you. You're actually the first person being nice to me despite my scar" I said, honestly.

"My elder bro will do same. We don't judge" he yawned and laid well on the mat before drifting to sleep. I cover him with my blanket so that he doesn't get eaten by those demons called mosquito. I sleep on the chair and ponder on today's event.

Are there more kids like him outside that are not judgemental? I doubt.

He didn't even eat. I do not even have anything to offer him. I'm such a bad babysitter.

~~~~~~~

"Thank you for bringing him. His mother has been looking for him" A young police woman said to me.

"No problem. Bye dave" I said, waving at him

"Bye Ana" he ran to hug me and tears rolled down my cheek. "I'll miss you" he whispered

"Bye ma" i adjusted my cap well and leave

God! I need a helper.

I left the police station and made my way home.

"Hey princess"

Ohhh not now. I know that voice.

"What" I don't turn instead I fastened my pace

"Just saying hi" he gripped my hand and spun me around

"Ouch!" I winced in pain. The scar on my left hand hurts a bit and he fucking knows.

"Does it hurt? I'll be coming this night. Be prepared"

"Can't you let me be? I'm tired! I don't even want your offer."

"Well, I'm not tired" he smiled and smacked my ass and I let the tears in my eyes flow down.

"I've not started and you are crying. I won't be hard on you princess" He winked and bids me goodbye

"I need to relocate" I mutter to myself

But to where? I can't afford a rent. I'll endure anything. I have a feeling that it'll be over soon.

I hope so.

"Be strong for me sweetheart" someone who I think is my mum said

"But mum I'm tired. I want to go with you. Take me with you"

"No sweetheart. You are a brave girl. You have a bright future. Endure the pain honey. Your scar makes you who you are. Your scar shows how brave you are" she smiles but tears rolled down her cheek

"I am weak mum" I cried

"No love" she pecked my forehead and disappears

"Mum!"
------------------

"Mum!" I yelled and open my eyes. "I can't endure it any longer" I cried.

"I'm here princess" Lucky makes his way into my room and smiled evily.

Disadvantages of not having a door.  I cry and struggle with him as usual but he still got what he wants. For the third time.

I'm tired of keeping count.
