Ghetto Gold

Chapter 2

Getting up the next morning feeling exhausted was an everyday thing for me. My mom's constant moans kept me awake until 3 am & i already get up at 6 in the morning for the bus ride to school . I'd already known how things were gonna when I heard Jack's heavy workboots coming up the stairs to the spare bedroom that my mom goes to every time he beats her ass. The only thing keeping me going was knowing that the week was coming to an end.
Friday couldn't come fast enough ! I'm so ready to get out of the house , I've got a lot on my mind. During my lunch I'll be sure to stop by baskin Robbins. My dad always took Me there when he knew something was on my mind .
I pulled the sheets back & slipped on my house shoes proceeding down the hall to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Halfway into my shower I heard hard knocks on the door & groaned expecting to hear the raspy voice of Jack telling me to get the hell out of the shower , and that I needed to put more on the bills. Instead I heard my mom's soft voice behind the door telling me to hurry out because breakfast was waiting & she'd had an announcement to make. I finished rising my body & wrapped my towel around my body. Heading down the hall towards my bathroom I was cut off by the guy I'd been sure to avoid daily- Jack. I'd expected him to be gone for work already. Avoiding his lustful looks I'd stepped back and tried to allow for him to walk past. Instead I was forcefully pushed back into the wall & kissed roughly. Pulling away & kneeing him in the groin I ran to my bedroom and tried to lock the door as fast as possible. My door burst open and on the other side stood an angry jack with a crazed look in his eyes. A look I can never forget. He was high off something heavy. He stood over me and laughed as he figited with his belt bucket. "Now you know you gotta pay for that ! " feeling helpless I began frantically looking around for a weapon of some sort. In my head all I could think was if this was really about to happen , my mother was downstairs & I was in the comfort of my own home . As soon as I was about to give up I heard my mothers voice yelling up the stairwell calling us down to Eat . Jack roughly grabbed me by my neck and pinned me against the wall yet again , causing my towel to fall in the process. Looking like he was fighting with himself he looked away & tightened his grip. "Bitch you tell yo mama and she won't live to see another 24 ! I promise you !" With that he dropped me. I gasped for air as I watched him leave out my room . I ran to the door & locked it. After collecting myself I got dressed & searched around my room for my cell phone.once I did I hit the number one & after two rings I heard my big brothers voice on the other end.
