Prologue

"Mama please don't! You promised you wouldn't hit me again. I didn't tell them nothing, I swear Mama! I love you mama please," Kamilah pleaded with her mother, as she continued to dragged her down the hallway of their two bedroom apartment into the bathroom. Kamilah was trying everything in her to get away from her mother but it was no use because she gripped her hair tighter. She tired desperately to make her mama stop, but it seemed like the more she begged, the worse it got "I know what I said bitch, I lied! I told you about opening your mouth up to them white folks. You think I wasn't going to find out,Huh? Well I did, you ungrateful bitch!" Tamera yelled through clenched teeth as she rammed her size 8 Timberland boot into her abdomen. Kamilah had her knees curled up against her chest attempting to block Tamera's vicious kicks. Tamera wasn't the least bit moved by the thick blood that was trickling from both Kamilah's nose and mouth. When she got tired she looked her daughter and smirk."Clean this mess up, Henry coming over and he want this place spotless and he bring his friend over he needs some company. You're 14 now, it's time you bring in some money. Henry only can handle so much."

Just as them words left her mouth, you could hear Tamera's drunk boyfriend Henry and his friends enter the home. "Tamera!" Henry voice boomed through the thin wall apartment. Tamera lit up to the sound of her boo's voice and rush to his side. "Your daughter ready? My boy got extra if they could run in her." Henry smirked while gripping Tamera's flat ass. "She's just cleaning herself up, she'll be ready in a minute." Tamera stated clearly for Kamilah to hear.

Kamilah struggled to get off the ground, she just knew for sure she had a few broken ribs and possibly broken nose. Her heart dropped in the pit of her stomach when the mirror revealed her reflection. This was the second time her mama's beatings had her with a bone or two broken. This wasn't a life for a 14 year old girl, she couldn't do this no more. The last straw was her mom trying to strip her of her innocence to keep her man happy or to get some quick bucks. The only issue was where would she go? She haven't seen her daddy in years (quick sidebar: Tamera was bitter bc Kamilah's dad didn't want anything to do with her, he wanted to take Kamilah but before he could Tamera fleed the state with his daughter to New York). When Tamera came banging on the door yelling to hurry up Kamilah didn't care where she go but she wasn't staying there. She noticed the window kind of high up, she stood on the toilet and open the window and slide her way out of the window. Thank God, they stayed on the first floor. She looked around making sure she seen a clear getaway, once she noticed she was good she took off running clutching her side and not once did she look back.......
