Started From the Bottom

****Mariah's POV****

"Get the fuck off of me!!! Stop it, you piece of shit!!!" my 12 year old son, Jalen, yelled at Tommy. Tommy is my husband and has been for about 4 months now, but he's nothing like I thought he would be. We dated 3 years before getting married and we have a 2 1/2 year old daughter named Jessica. I already had two children before Tommy....Jalen and Gabrielle, my 9 year old daughter.

"If I tell you to do something, you need to do it!! You're nothing but a worthless little fuck....just like your no good father!" Tommy yelled back, grabbing Jalen by his arm.

"Tommy, leave him alone!!" I shouted, trying to push him off.

"No, Mariah!! I'm sick of this little bastard and his sister!! You need to teach them to respect me.....I'm the one who provides for this family, so I deserve more respect!!"

"Just because you're the provider doesn't mean that you can treat us like crap!! If you want Jay to treat you with respect, you need to show him some respect too!!" I argued.

"If it wasn't for me, you all would be in the ghetto on the streets! If you don't like the way I treat you, then go back to your baby daddy! Oh wait, you can't cause he's in jail.....just like most niggas are!" Tommy spat. Tommy always is saying these racial slurs to my children because their father was black. I'm half black, but most can't tell looking at me.....my blonde hair and fair skin leaves most to believe that I'm just white.

"Stop it, Tommy!! Just stop it!! If you have a problem with black people, then why would you marry me?! Huh?!"

"I'm not racist....I'm just making a point." he shrugged. I sighed deeply, wishing that this constant fighting would end, then I looked over at Gabrielle. She had her knees to her chest with tears running down her face, and Jessica was standing on the sofa trying to hug her.

"Why the hell are you crying, huh? You don't cry when you're rolling your eyes and being disrespectful....so why you wanna be a baby now?!" Tommy shouted at Gabrielle.

"You're always mean to me and Jay.....you treat us different because we're not yours, and it isn't fair!! I hate that Mom even married you!!" Gabrielle screamed. Tommy angrily stormed over to her and grabbed her by her hair, then he slung her to the floor.

"Tommy, stop!!" I screamed, running to him. I tried to get Gabrielle's hair from his grip, but Tommy pushed me off of him.

"I'm tired of you, you know that?! You think that you're a princess because people tell you that you're pretty, but you're not!! You're never gonna amount to anything.....you and your brother will be pregnant and in jail within the next 3 years!" Tommy angrily said to her, then he let go of her. Gabrielle balled up in fetal position on the floor and cried her little eyes out, and I rushed over to her and held her.

"Baby, don't listen to that. I know that you'll be successful in life....don't let him make you cry." I softly said to her, followed by kissing the top of her head.

"Whatever, I have to go to work....something you wouldn't know about." Tommy growled, getting his things. He came over to Jessica and picked her up, then he kissed her forehead.

"Daddy loves you, princess." he smiled. Jessica turned away and tried to get to me, but she couldn't get out of his grip.

"I wan Mommy....wou be mean to Bwi and Jay, Daddy. I not wike when wou meanie." Jessica told him. He put her down and she toddled over to me, then he left outta the door.

"Mom, I'm sorry for cussing.....I just hate Tommy so much." Jalen sighed, sitting next to me and his sisters.

"I know, baby boy. Living with him hasn't been easy for any of us....all he does is bully us." I stated.
