"Florida woman has been detained and charged with domestic abuse and aggravated battery after stabbing the father of her child... four times."
"She says, and I quote "I don't give a fuck, tell that motherfucker he got the right one"
I stared at the TV to see my mom appear. "Dad, Mommy is on TV for stabbing you." I told him
"Why the fuck she on TV?" He came back, drinking his beer
"You heard what they just said? She stabbed me because she crazy, I'm what's best for you. You gon' be staying with me for a while after what she did." He told me
Justin and Kobi gets to stay with Kobe, it's not fair at all
I don't wanna stay with him.
"Okay." I nodded
"Go get me that pasta off that counter." He said, I got up and grabbed his plate of pasta, but slipped and fell over two of his beer cans
"Onyx! You wasted my damn food, bitch!" He yelled
"I'm sorry." I started getting up, then felt him smack me
"Can I go stay with Kobe?"
"You wanna stay with that nigga over me?" He kicked me to the ground
My eyes shot open and I began to cry, I couldn't stop having dreams... well, nightmares about my dad
I wiped my eyes and began to think back when my mom went to jail, leaving me with Robert. Kobi and Justin got to stay with my dad while I stayed and got abused
I was ten and it was my first time ever telling my mom that my dad hit me, she stabbed him five times in return. It wasn't four, the newscaster didn't know what she was talking about
When it happened, I just watched even though she told me to go in my room
Sometimes I feel like it's my fault I got abused, I had my mom and my dad to protect me from him, but I didn't say shit
"You up?" Hali came into my room. She came to spend time and check on me, but I was in a dark space and hadn't left my house in a week which was when the incident happened
I made sure she didn't tell Justin because he would tell my mom
"Aww, baby." She wiped my face
She handed me a bag of food and I just sat on the side of me, getting back under the covers
I just wasn't hungry.
"Your boyfriend about to be over here." She informed
"Oh." I wiped a tear off my cheek, I didn't care to see him. I didn't care to see anyone
