Sevyn Cove Phillips
March 1, 2022
Dover, Delaware

So many things ran through Sevyns mind as she sat next to her sister in her hospital room. She stared at her while she was connected to a breathing tube that was inserted in her mouth, bandages around her head and her face swollen.
Sevyn didn't even recognize the poor girl.

As she sat there she began to remember all of the things from her childhood, stuff she wanted to push in the back of her mind but it just wouldn't go away.

Cherish, nana said I can go to the park but you need to come with me

Cherish walked away, leaving 10 year old Sevyn stuck on what to do.

The two girls did what their mother said while tears streaming down their face as they took each ass whopping there mother gave them.

Cherish, can I talk to you?

What little girl!?

There's.. there's this man at school who.. he..

Cove dont nobody wanna hear that shit, either take it or tell someone else

Sevyn stormed out of her room with tears flooding her eyes as she tried to confide in her sister about a traumatic event that was occurring in her school, at only 9 years old.

Sevyn got up and walked into the bathroom to splash water in her face. The tears continued to roll down her face as she stared at herself in the mirror.

Sevyn hated those memories , she wishes she had a better childhood and her memories were filled with happiness and love but sadly it wasn't.

She hoped and dreamed that her life would eventually turn around but things just seemed to be falling apart.

Sevyn was knocked out of her thoughts from the small knock on the door.

"Sevyn?" She dried her hands, face and exited the bathroom to see the doctor standing there with a chart in his hand.
