Till Death Do Us Part

1

"You worthless piece of..." As Fantasia's dad raised his hand, and his hand appears across her face leaving a huge red mark on her cheek. " D-Dad stop hitting me please, I'm sorry!" as Fantasia said in fear.

Her dad just wouldn't stop. Her body beaten black and blue with a nose bleed.

Fantasia already knew how this routine went. Her dad would come home late drunk, smelling like cigars and filled with anger.

He would always throw his empty bottles on the floor filled with rage. But, that just wasn't enough for him, so he started beating on Tasia most times out of the week.

He would always blame Fantasia for the cause of her mother's death, which was his wife.

He just started drinking and smoking thinking that the pain was gonna go away but it didn't, it built up more.

Fantasia got up from the floor limping. Her leg and arm bruised badly. She kept stumbling trying to walk up the stairs after how bad she has got beaten up. While her Dad (Joe) was sitting on the almost broken up couch, drinking and watching the game.

Fantasia was trying to get up the stairs, her weeping because she couldn't. "Hey dad you think yo-" He cut her off ," No, you get your own ass up the stairs, and quit allat' crying shit i'm tryna watch the game" As he said in a irritated raised tone, continuing to drink his beer.

Fantasia just went up the stairs with a few stumbles. She finally made it to her room.

She plopped on her bed and opened her drawer beside her bed. Already having tissue for her nose bleed and a medical kit, just in case things got to out of hand.

She cleaned her nose and threw the tissue in the trash. She got on her phone for a few minutes before she dozed off to bed.

Fantasia woke up to her alarm going off. She woke up irritated she doesn't like waking up early for school, especially the school she attends to. Luckily this was the last day.

She got out of her bed and walked to drawer. She wasn't limping as bad as she was last night but it still hurts very much.

She put on her clothes for school and she walked to the bathroom. She opened the cabinet and grabbed her make up kit.

She opened her kit and realized that she's running out of foundation. But she had just enough to cover her bruises. She applied foundation on her bruises.

After 20 minutes she was done applying foundation. But, there was one bruise on her arm that wasn't fully covered up because she ran out. " Man, I got to get some more make up for this shit or might even just run away one day, only if i knew how to drive tho but damn"

Fantasia walked back to her room and gathered her school materials in her back pack and walked out the door. She waited outside for the school bus.

When Fantasia walked through the entrance of the school people just stared at her. Especially those group of girls standing at the lockers, looking at her in disgust.

"Ew look at Fantasia with her busted ass shoes" everyone stared at Fantasia and laughed at her "She really do got busted up shoes tho" someone said " Look at her skinny ass" another person said "I've seen more meat on a chicken than you"

Fantasia just ran to her next class filled with embarrassment. When Fantasia made it to her class she sat down in her seat zoning out constantly.

"Tasia" some said in a low voice. "Tasia" as they shook her. She snapped out of it and heard the teacher calling her name repeatedly.

"Yes ma'am" Fantasia said "I have been calling your name for a minute." The teacher said "I'm sorry I wa-" " Did I ask for a story time?" The teacher said cutting fantasias sentence off "No ma-" "Answer this question for me, thank you" "I-I Can't" Fantasia said " What do you mean you can't answer this question Fantasia? You are in the 11th grade" "I'm sorry" "Fantasia if you don't pass this final exam then you'll have to restart the 11th grade" " not if I drop out and do my own shit" Fantasia muttered under her breath

At lunch time Fantasia was very hungry . There were even some night where fantasia couldn't even eat.

"I'm hungry as shit man , but I don't got no damn money cause dad always goin out and drinkin' just be doin' random shit" Fantasia said in an irritated voice. She just sat down at a table by herself and put her head down.

Fantasia was just laying there until she felt someone constantly tapping her "can you get your fucking hands off of me" as fantasia lifted her head she seen a beautiful girl staring right back at her. "A little rude don't you think?" The girl said "Oh damn i'm sorry i thought you were someone else, i'll go tho" Fantasia got up when she felt the girl's hand pulling her arm.

"Where are you going?" the beautiful girl said, as she sat Fantasia back down "I mean nobody really talks to me and all they do is like to talk shit" The girl giggled and said "i'm not here to talk shit girly, what's your name?"

"Fantasia " she answered "Well i'm Taraji you can call me T or raji" Taraji said "Your name is beautiful, and so are you" Fantasia said "Wow you're bold, very bold but thank you Tasia" As Taraji giggled.

"Let's cut the small talk tho, i've seen the way those people were treating you, and i hate it, i hate bullies." Taraji said "I mean they have a reason to lo-"
Taraji cut Fantasia off in the middle of her sentence

"Hush you are beautiful, maybe just a little work tho" as Taraji rubbed Fantasia's arm. Taraji looked at her arm and noticed a barely covered bruise. She furrowed her eyebrows. Fantasia noticed her look and covered her hand over her bruise.

"What or Who did that?" Taraji asked in concern. Fantasia remained silent until she said " Bumped into a wall" as she tried to rub off Taraji's concern.

"Now no way a wall can do that bad of a bruise, tell me the truth tasia" Taraji stared at her "It's my dad.... he comes home late mad and he just beats on me" she sighed.

Taraji focused on her " Tasia that's not right, do you not do anything about it?" "If I did, I might've even end up dead" Fantasia said " Do you have your phone on you right now?" Taraji asked "Yes, why?"

"Look i saved up some money from years ago so I have myself a little apartment, i'll give you my number and you text me your address. I'll get you tonight so pack your clothes and everything okay, but right now we gotta get to class. okay?

Taraji stared at her and held her hands. Fantasia taking in everything she is saying. "But wh-" "No buts Tasia just do it, let me put my number in your phone." Taraji put her number in her phone. "I'll text you tonight and come get you okay bye"
