♡ Azalea ♡

"Заткнись, черт возьми, шлюха!" He yells at me. (Shut the fuck up you slut!) He kicks me, again and again and again. Everything in my room is broken. That's how i found everything when I got home. My brothers portrait shattered on my room floor. 

This isn't fair. 

Tears start welling up in my eyes. "Не говори мне, что ты вот-вот начнешь плакать" (Don't tell me you are about to start crying).

"Извини, папа..." I sign. (Im sorry dad...) 

"Whatever, go get me some more whiskey" He slurs and I nod.

He throws a twenty dollar bill and i get up and straighten my clothes.  

"Go to Johnny's, he doesn't care about age." My dad shuts the door and I put on some socks and shoes and head downstairs. I grab my sweater off the rack pull it over me and off I go.

I still have to study. Poop. 

My dad never used to drink. he only started when I killed my brother. 

I walk through the dark streets of LA. It's cold. Really cold. Which was weird. Cali is never cold. 

A rock hits my back and I immediately look behind me but see no one there. Weird. But its probably just a cute bird. I could talk all day about birds. If only I could hear myself. I remember when I was 10. My brother tried to teach me to talk but all i made was a grunt and weird noises. Wait. That wouldn't be a bird. Can birds throw rocks? OH I KNOW! It was a magic bird! 

Azalea what's wrong with you? Theres no such thing as a "Magic bird" 

I see a group of people my age. I want to think they are friends. They stop right in front of something and start kicking it. Poor thing. They run off laughing and when they reveal what they were kicking my eyes wide and I run over to the homeless guy. He flinches when i near him and i shake my head insinuating that i wouldn't hurt him. That's mean. I think for a minute and take out the twenty my dad gave me. I pass him the twenty and he shakes his head. 

"No ma'am, I couldn't" I read his lips and i nod and continue giving him the twenty. 

He grins and nods and takes it from me. "Thank you so much ma'am, god bless you." 

I smile and nod my head. 

I sigh and walk back to my shelter. I can't call that home anymore. That is far from it. 

I continue walking and almost trip over something. 

Stupid Azalea. 

I bend down and see a fifty dollar bill. What? Did god really bless me like that homeless guy said? No. That's hocus pocus Azalea. I look around to see anybody who might have dropped it, but the only person on this street was the guy from earlier. Oh well, more for me. 

I head back to Johnny's and i enter the shop. I grab the whiskey my dad drinks and walk over to the counter. I pass him the money and he gives me my change and i stash it in my jeans back pocket. 

I walk back and come into my house. I enter through the kitchen and see a few plates shattered on the ground and my dad passed out on the couch. I put the whiskey in the upper hand cabinet and walk to my dad. I grab my mom's blanket from the closet underneath the stairs and put it over him. I clean up all the glasses and shattered plates.

Ow. I cut myself.

I quickly clean myself off and put on a Disney princess bandaid on my finger.

Finally back in my room. I take a deep breath close my room door quietly. I change into my hello kitty pajama pants and pink tank top. My hair now in a messy bun. I take my books out and sit down to study.

I

end up falling asleep on my desk.
