The Mafia's Girl

Chapter 2. Another day in my life

"Why don't you stay at my house tonight?" Mia asks me, "You know I cant, they won't let me" I tell her sadly, she nods her head giving me a sympathetic smile before pulling me into a bone crushing hug. "Uhh, Mia, can't breathe" I tell her feeling the oxygen leave my lungs, "Oh shit, sorry" she says before pulling away, "I'll see you tomorrow?" she asks smiling at me, "Yeah, of course" I tell her before heading for my front door, if I thought school was the gates of hell then this house is fucking purgatory. I wave one last time at Mia and head inside hoping that nobody is home, I really couldn't deal with them right now. 

"Annabelle, is that you?" I hear my step-mother call, oh great, just what I needed, "Um, yeah" I answer before I see her come bouncing out of the kitchen, a grin on her face so big i'm sure its hurting her cheeks and before I could think pulls me into a hug jumping up and down. I freeze, is this bitch on crack, why is she touching me, I thought I was a disease. I pull away from her staring at her like she's grown three heads, "Um, why are you hugging me?" I ask tentatively, I really don't need her to crack me across the face again, the bruise from this morning is still fresh. "Oh Annabelle i have wonderfull news to tell you" she tells me, sends later my father comes downstairs looking clean for once, thats new, I was sure forgot how a shower worked. "Annabelle, you're home, have a seat please" Jimmy tells me, yeah he lost the right to be called dad a long time ago, I begrudgingly sit terrified of what this happy news could be.

"You're leaving" he tells me smiling, my mouth just drops open and I stare at him in shock, "Oh Annabelle close your mouth, thats not lady like" Elizabeth tells me, chastising me like i'm her child, I close my mouth before I tell her to fuck off. "Wait, do you mean i'm going to live with a relative or something?" I ask confused, Jimmy just laughs, a loud sinister laugh, Elizabeth comes over to my side before grabbing my hand in hers, I resist the urge to throw up, "Oh honey, no you won't be living with any relatives, we sold you" she tells me smiling. I'm sorry but what the fuck did she just say, "Annabelle watch you language" Jimmy yells at me, oh shit, did I say that out loud, "Yes, you did" Elizabeth tell me, I simply close my mouth. 

"Go upstairs and pack your things, your leaving in 1 hour" Jimmy tells me, I just stare at him tears forming in my eyes, I knew they hated and didn't want me around but I never thought they would do something like this, "You sold me" I say in a small voice, tears forming in my eyes, "Stop being so dramatic, we had a debt to pay and you payed it, you should be proud, we'll live a good life because of you" Elizabeth tells me with feigned sympathy, I stand up angry, "YOU FUCKING SOLD ME!!!" I scream at them all the anger I had held in for years coming to the surface. "WATCH YOU FUCKING MOUTH YOUNG LADY, YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT IN M Y OWN HOUSE, SHOW SOME RESPECT" Jimmy screams in my face trying to force me to submit, but im sick of his shit, "GO FUCK YOURSELF, YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MY RESPECT" I scream at him. Crack! and I'm on the floor clutching my cheek, he had backhanded me, now this shouldn't surprise me, but im just so fucking done with everything I just lay on the floor sobbing, "Clean yourself up, Mr Thompson will be here to collect you soon" Jimmy says before straightening out his shirt and leading Elizabeth out of the room. 

I pull myself up off of the floor and head for my room, well its really a closet, but at least I have a mattress, I grab my things, not that I had a lot and put them in my school bag before heading downstairs and sitting on the couch my head in my hands, how is my life this screwed up. I hear a knock at the door and it startles me out of my self pity, I standup and grab my bag shaking like a fucking leaf, what if he's a rapist or a predator, what if he's going to kill me, all these thoughts run around my head as my so called parents go to answer the door. They open it and in walks two very buff men, one looks nicer than the other, they come to a stop in front of me, "Um, hi?" I say or more like ask, what do you even say in a situation like this, the nicer one just smiles, while the there glares daggers into my head, what the fuck did I do, he doesn't even know me. My attention is then captured again as I hear another set of boots come through the front door, i avert my attention away from the two men in front of me and try to look around them, they simply step aside and allow the other man to come into my view. 

Holy greek god tattooed goodness, this is the man i'm going with, I am totally fine with that, my eyes trail up his body seeing the tattoos lining his forearms, the tight black button up shirt clearly outlining his defined abs, the chiseled chin with just the right amount of 5 o'clock shadow, the full pink lips that look so delicious and lastly the eyes, they make me gasp. Anger, thats all I see, anger and a lot of disappointment, huh? "You said she was attractive" Mr greek god says, wait is he calling me ugly? " I know she's not perfect, but she's really obedient, i'm sure she will work for what you want" Jimmy answers him, man do I feel like shit right now. I look down at the floor, Greek God in front of me grabs my chin and lifts my eyes to his, I do my best to stand my ground, but I cant help feeling weak in the knees at his touch. "She'll do, perfect to break" he says looking into my eyes, great he's going to abuse me too. Why universe, do you hate me that much? 

"Take her to the car, I'll be out in moment" he says and the other two drag me out to the car, I give up any hope of trying to. get away from them, the have more muscle than I have body mass, I just let them toss me in like a rag doll, "Seatbelt" the nicer looking one says, I just do as I'm told, knowing my life is officially over. Well thanks for nothing world, this life, 10 out of 10 do not recommend.
