"You're going to pay for this." He yelled, securing my black hair around this hand. He suddenly pulled tightly.
I yelled in pain. "Moooommmmmmm... Mommy please help me... Mommy."
"Shut the fuck up you little slut!" He all but boomed into my ear.
Tears sprung from my eyes like a busted pipe. He was a monster.
Mother finally ran into the room and shouted, "She's a kid. What the hell is wrong with you?"
He marched over to her and held her by her throat, threatening her.
Mommy looked over at me and whispered, "I'm sorry. I just can't take this anymore. It's not right!" right before she shot him.
The blood sprayed all over me and I couldn't fathom what had happened. Mommy just killed someone.
She then took the gun and pointed it at her head. My eyes bulged.
"Mommy, Noooo. Please. Mommy. I need you."
"I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry. Promise me you'll survive. Promise me."
My ten year old self couldn't comprehend but I said, "I promise mama. I promise."
My eyes, instantaneously closed. I knew what was going to happen.
The loud bang forced my eyes open, as I looked at the blood pooling around my feet.
I walked over to mama and sung her a lullaby just as she used to sing to me.
She smiled, and then her eyes closed.
I laid down and cuddled with her, whispering, "Mama, I love you."
