Its a few weeks after my 7th birthday. I was playing in our pool. My dad walked outside, how he has custody? I have no clue. I swim there juts floating. Not supervised. The wind blew ever so slightly as he came up to the pool. "YOU DUMB ASS" he yelled with anger from within,"ISN'T MOM SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING YOU?," I cried. "don't you remember" I whispered under my breath. He heard me of course. He took my head and started shoving it under the water. I held my breath as the bubbles fell out of my mouth. Right when I couldn't hold my breath he lifted me out of the water and pushed me to the ground with all force. He yelled at me to get inside. I ran inside and fell half way and he kicked to keep going. So I did.

I was running to my room, but I didn't get there in time. My dad was coming. He picked me up bye my hair and picked me up and threw me on the ground.he sat down and started crying. "why did you make her kill herself," he cried with a force of anger," WHY DID YOU DO THIS"

Then he got a knife and held it to me. I didn't even cry. I just sat there, begging in my eyes to do it at 7 years old. I thought about the my stuffed animals. What are they gonna do without me? Then I thought about mommy and how ill see her! But he dropped the knife and went to bed. I didn't see him for the rest of the night.
