New Orleans, Louisiana 2003
I gripped Lucas as we held each other in a tight hug. A deep gnawing feeling entered my body, I wanted to take his fear away. The designer clothes served as a barrier against the outside in my mom's large closet. She hid us in it when daddy's loud footsteps hit the darkwood stairs.
"CLARA!!! WHY IS MY FUCKING KITCHEN DIRTY?!" He didn't want an answer, he never wanted an answer. Sometimes I wondered why he would turn in a monster. My oldest brother, Àngel, said it was our mama's fault for being so weak.
"I'm sorry baby!" She croaked out. A loud pop vibrated throughout the house. He had stripped her of everything again. In a split second she was just a human body with no purpose. No reason for existing only to serve him. Lucas cried out almost as if he had been hit. I covered his mouth but it was too late, the monster heard us. The oak doors swung up open. He loomed over us like a dark shadow blocking out the light behind him. His smooth rich mohangany skin stretched out upon his athletic exterior. His dark green eyes narrowed into slits as he laid eyes on me.
"You betta not turn into yo whore of a mama!" He sneered. He grabbed us both and positioned us to watch. He beat the living shit out of her or at least until she turned into a rag doll. Lucas and I held each other together, can't even the remember the last time someone tried to stop it. We all gave up, I sometimes find myself drifting off like this was normal.
Àngel and Rafael ran in trying to hold back dad.
"G-GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" Daddy's speach stunk of alcohol influence and rage. I wonder if he saw the fear in our eyes when he glanced at us, maybe the pain. No one took a breath until we heard his car door slam. I sat there numb. Nobody realized that even though he was hitting her, he was killing me mentally.
My flashback ended when my head started to slip under the water. Can't have a dead star making up such a controversy can we?
