I opened my eyes and sun's rays fall on my face . I could hear bird's sounds outside of my window . Everything felt so relaxing. I wish my life was this peaceful.

Flashback
-------------------
Ever since I can remember, I only saw my mom's struggles. My mom gone through too much pain. My family wasn't normal family like others families. My dad didn't do any works . He was an abusive man . All he did was abusing mom , gambling, having s*x with other women . He used to bring lots of women every night while my mom cried silently hugging me . Dad forced mom to do all the household works and earn money . If she tried to refuse dad would beat her up front of me. It's not like he had soft spot for me..no never he hated me and blamed me for everything. To him I was a mistake , freak , useless . He was a monster. He killed my mom and destroyed me.

I don't know how they got married but staying with him was like living in hell. I got abused by him from very young age. When mom died he made a fake story about that she couldn't make it after giving birth and pathetically everyone believed him. When I tried to tell everyone the truth he started to beating me with belt. He told everyone that I have mental illness and I imaginary stuffs. Oh , how innocent he acted like. He abused me that much that day bleeding couldn't stop from my body.

I was only 10 years old when my mom died after giving birth to my younger sister "Alice" . It's because dad slapped mom when it was her delivery time and she fell from the stairs . After mom was gone for forever dad started to abuse me each time he had the chance . I promised mom that I'll always protect my younger sister from dad.

I can't tolerate violence , loud voices , arguments or anything abusive. I grew up facing those situations. It's my worst trauma. Each time I hear loud voice my childhood trauma starts to make me traumatized again and again . I was weak to handle this but I'm still weak front of my abusive parents. Somehow I managed to survive I don't know how I'm still alive . I get scared by my own body scars by looking at those.

I'm not strong...I pretend that I can handle all those pain but deep inside I'm suffering mentally and physically. I would end my life at this point but I gave someone a promise . If I didn't have a sibling to look for I would be gone by now .

After I turned 15...i tried my best to keep my younger sister safe from dad. I did many works to earn money. I was the only person who was paying bills, buying foods , doing household works , raising my sis and suffering from childhood trauma. Home was sure hell for me but also school . There would be lots of students who used to bully me and made me feel miserable. I made sure my sis won't go through the traumatic life I went as . After I turned 17 my dad got married to his so-called girlfriend named "Stella" . After she came in our lives things got worse. They abused me physically and mentality.

Soon after I graduated college I got a scholarship. I got admitted to a good university and also have part time jobs to take care of disaster at my home .

End of flashback
----------------------------

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the clock. It's 6:45 am.

"Time to get up and do the chores before they wake up and beat me again for staying on bed for long time"
I said to myself and started to get off from bed . I looked beside me and saw how peacefully my sister is sleeping. I smiled a bit then went to the bathroom and got freshed up . I walked towards to my bed and saw Angel is already up.

"Hey sis! Good morning" Alice said as she fixed the bed

"Good morning sunshine. Go get ready fast now" I gave her a smile and went to the living room . I started to clean up the mess that my dad and his wife made at yesterday night. I threw away the beer's bottles and started to cook breakfast.
