-ADIRA-

We were five years old the first time our  parents abused us. I remember the first time, the first time my father used his cigarette to burn my thigh, I  remember that he asked me to bring him a glass full of adult juice, I was walking a little too fast and poured it all on his thigh, I still remember crying and begging him to stop looking at me like that, and before I knew it he pulled my skirt up and used his lit cigarette to burn me in the same place where I poured the juice on him and he did the same thing to my twin sister.

<Adira! Where are you? I asked you to bring me my shoes two minute ago!> My mother shouts and interrupts my toughts.

I take the first pair of shoes that I see and run to her but I bump in my father arm and not even a second after he pulls me by my hair, drags me to the stairs and pushes me with a smirk on is face .

<You are here finally...What are you waiting for! Put them on my feet!>
She says pointing her shoes beside my body like she didn't see what father just did. So just like she requested I limp to her body and put her shoes on her dry dirty foot.

Everyone says that when there is an abusive situation or something like that, the abuser is the most terrible one, they say that the abuser is the heartless one, but they are wrong, the one that hurts the victims more than the abuser are the ones that know the situation, that are there, but don't say anything, they..are the most heartless one. So that's why even if my mother abuses me more mentally that phisically, I still hate her the same.

<Let's go my Luna> Father says to Mother after kicking me in the stomach.

<And you..clean the house, wash our clothes, and stay in your room when you finish> That's what he always says since I'm six, at first I used to cry and ask myself what I did wrong for them to leave me alone every weekend, but now, I do what I've been doing since the age of eleven: cleaning, washing their clothes, eating whatever I see first, the option is always between a protein bar and an apple, and climbing out the window and going to the only place where I can be at least fifteen per cent myself and where I found the only person I can call family member.

I knock at the door and I wait until I hear his voice saying 'come in'.

<Adira, come here sweetheart> He says opening one of his arms.

<Hi Andrew> I say hopping to him and hugging him from the side.

<I told you to stop calling me Andrew> He says hugging me back.

<And I told you to stop calling me sweetheart> I say back to him smiling.

<You look beautiful when you smile sweetheart>

<Stop calling me sweetheart and you will see my smile more often> I say before sitting on the chair in front of him.

<So now let's talk business> I say now using my cold tone.

<Ok, so, the girl you ar->

<What the fuck Andrew, I told you I don't fight girls> I say looking at my nails then right in his eyes.

<I know but this time it's good business and the pay->

<I. DON'T. FIGHT. GIRLS.> I say this time with a little irritation in my voice.

<Ok,calm down little fox, I knew you wouldn't want to> He says with a playlful voice.

<Wow you really got me here, so who am I fighting> I say without emotion in my voice.

<Bruno> He says this time with a serious tone.

Bruno is my first and only lost match and the fact that he dared challenging me knowing that I'm not the little girl that he had a sparing match with two years ago anymore...It's making everything more trilling.

<Ok> I say with a smile that can even scare Andrew.
