"Don't ever think of coming back you asshole! And soon, be expecting divorce papers in the mail!" she was screaming at him from the top of the drive way while he was getting into his crappy old beat up car. He didn't so much as even look at me the entire time he was packing or leaving, until now, he was pulling out and just was staring at me with cold black eyes. It gave me the willies and so I went inside, and mom followed. We sat in silence for a moment until she broke it.
"Honey I'm soo sorry, if I had had any idea what was happening I would have helped sooner." but then she realized she didn't know how much sooner she could have help or how long it had been happening. "How long?.... How long has he done this to you?" she was onthe brink of crying, and I didn't want to hide anything anymore.
"Since I was 7. It was the night of my seventh birthday party, he said it was my birthday gift for that year, and that it would be the best gift ever. But it wasn't, It hurt and he wouldn't stop when I cried out, just make it hurt more. Ever since that night he came into my room every night and hurt me more. Until one night I just stopped feeling and just gave up on trying to free myself." Then I got up and walked to my room to go to bed. Tonight would be the first night of the rest of my life. And I intended on making it that way from now on.
That night was the first time I had even really slept without dreams or nightmares of Terrance. No more Boogey-Man or monsters under my bed or in my closet. But the next day was even better.
At school I was never popular, I could have been, but wasn't because I was always so sad and depressed. But on this Friday morning, I was a better person, a different person, and a free person. And apparently others noticed me on this wonderful Friday, because as I walked down the hall in my skinny jeans, tight V-cut tank-top, and my sexy new high heals, everyone was looking at me. No one had ever really noticed me, not even to make fun of me. But there was also no reason to make fun of me. I was a 5'9 Blonde with an average weight of 129 lbs, and was a sexy bitch. No one ever noticed because I was too ashamed of what he was doing that I hid myself from the world. And today, I was an unleashed wild animal who had been tamed for too long and left in her cage without anyone else.
On my way to first period I had gotten 5 phone numbers and asked out on 8 dates. I said "I'll think about it. " to each and everyone, until Garret Tyson walked up to me and asked me. Garret was the captain of the High School varsity football team and was the hottest guy in our school. He had just broken it off with the cheer-leader captain, Jennifer Alice. And now, he was asking me, Tessa Anabell Blake, to go out with him. And all I was, was the pretty girl from down the block who only popped out of her shell every once in a while, but now my shell was never gonna close.
Like said, The world is always turning, but you never know what might come of it. And it seemed that it was something good this time.
