Lyfe

Client One

I was waiting on the side street for Nehemiah my best friend. As I seen all the cars pass , my breath started to speed up.

A car pulled up to me and I broke left and started running. " DONT TOUCH ME DONT TOUCH ME DONT TOUCH ME" I screamed a waterfall of tears fell down my face . The car kept following me , I kept turning. And as a mistake I turned into a alley and was stuck. The car cornered me a brick wall behind me I couldn't escape .

As a bad habit I started to undress the tears blurring my face . " I'm sorry daddy , i won't run again" I was now in my sports bra and boxers shivering my scars were exposed .

" LYFE WTF ARE YOU DOING " Nehemiah screamed shaking me.

" don't hit me daddy I'm sorry" I whimpered away from her

" who is daddy , poohie its me " she pleaded I could hear the desperation in her voice

I looked at her and snapped out of my daze she started putting my clothes back on me and carried me to the car. I was still shivering .

" poohie what was that" she asked me as she layed me in the backseat.

" is your friend on drugs" asked her mom as we pulled off

" I dont know mommy she's always Been jumpy can we stay home . ive never seen her this bad.its like she has PTSD . I think she just need to be loved right now" Nehemiah said rubbing her neck

" mhm alright y'all can go home but if she steal anything I'm kicking both y'all ass" she turned the car around and drove is back home

Nehemiah kept staring at me her gaze was piercing . When we made it to her house she rushed me to the couch and threw me down

"TALK" she barked at me . This wants the first time she I had a flash back from when I was in the home. I can't keep making up excuses and I can't keep lying to her.

"I honestly don't know .. it's just.. That alley . It made me think ." I muttered .

" about what "she talked as if she was fed up

"I don't know.. When I'm in certain places or doing certain things. I get triggered ... and everything comes back and I feel so weak again" I didn't cry.. I had no reason to I didn't feel the need I feel perfectly normal.

"Wait what do you mean poohie ..".

" like when I was in that alley.. It reminded me of all the men I was forced to fuck..and how one time" I sniffled " I got enough strength to run away.. In the morning time march 5th... when I was 9. I got up and left... I walked for three hours ...and for the first time I was able to stop and enjoy the flowers. I love flowers..I made it 4 cities away ...from that foster home for sick kids. And I was goin to get on the bus when I seen Her car...I ran...and I ran... Then I stopped..o knew I couldn't outrun her so I stripped so she can have her way ."

" who's her " nehemiah asked her voice soft

" my nurse .. My pimp...and my victim".
