It was my second day at my aunts, and yesterday was a lot to handle. I woke up to my uncle screaming at my aunt. Saying I'm a "bad child" and I shouldn't be in 'his' house. Of course I defended my name and screamed back.

Long story short he tried to throw a glass vase at me because I said "Maybe if you didn't abuse your wife she would actually wanna be with you" I giggled to myself as I think of that memory someone needed to call him out and everyone else is too scared.

Anyways a social worker also came by yesterday and asked me to talk downstairs. She asked vivid questions, the only problem is I told the truth about everything, and I don't regret it. I might've accidentally purposely slipped in about my uncle abusing his wife and kids and me. Before you judge me he belongs in jail. I'm just being a good niece and helping him there. Anyways now that you're all caught up let's talk about what's happening now.

I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my 4 cousins, were all eating lunch. I pick up a french fry when my 11 year old cousin micheal snatches it out my hand and eats it and laugh. I stare at him in disgust an move my hand to take one of his fries and he slaps me. in my face. I got up to slap his back, but of course his mom walks in and starts screaming at me. "MELISSA GET THE FUCK OFF OF HIM"

I roll my eyes because shes finna baby him like he's not old enough to walk to school alone. "I didn't even hit him he hit me" my aunt shook her head "YOU FUCKING HIT HIM I SEEN IT BABY ARE YOU OKAY" she said she examined his face, she's obviously seeing stuff I wasn't even able to strangle him yet.

"HES FINE" i scream back in frustration "IF YOU TOUCH MY CHILD AGAIN YOUR OUR OF MY HOUSE" i laughed at her because I honestly dont care. I guess that made her madder cause she continued to scream as she grabbed a ice pack not for his face.

....

Its now Friday, my third day at my aunts house. I stayed up till 4am last night so today I was supposed to sleep in but I woke up hearing my aunt burst into the room crying "IS THIS WHAT YOU FUCKING WANTED" i opened my eyes trying to adjust to the light, "huh" i say glancing at her.

"YOU'RE THE REASON MY KIDS HAVE TO LIVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE" I just look at her stupidly, just then i seen the case worker walk in the room "Hey melissa imma take you and your cousin to your mom's friend house for a little while she solve her issue here" I just shake my head and roll out of bed to tired to even argue with her.
