Healing Her Scars-cookie & Luscious

Chapter 1-Cookie Pov

As my alarm clock woke me. I rubbed my eyes and look at the time. The clock read 3:20 in the morning.

Many people won't wake up this early unless for work.Well,I don't work.I woke up because of chores.

My name is Loretha Holloway.My nickname is Cookie. I can be soft or unable to chew. I'm the middle child of Ruby Holloway and Anthony Holloway.

I have two sisters name Candace and Carol.You might be saying to yourself.Oh they must have to do chores.

They don't because they are "princesses" and going to get somewhere in life.While, I'm the mistake and the only thing I will be good for is laying on my back.

I get up everyday to clean up and make breakfast. If they don't think I did something right I will get beat.

I'm just glad I don't get rape by my own father or one of my sisters boyfriend. They would call me names like slut,whore,bitch and more words.

I'm not a slut.I'm not a whore.I'm not a bitch.I have to tell my self that everyday.

"Slut,come here" Carol yelled.

"Yes,Ms.Carol"I respond. She acts like she gonna beat me but she don't. She is a nice sister but whenever Ruby, Candace and Anthony around.

"Why isn't my room clean?"she asked.

"I didn't get to it yet"I answered.

"It should been the first thing you did,Cookie."she said

"You know if I was like them people, you will get beat."she said.

I nodded my head.

She told me to get dress.After I took a shower, I put on a pair of sweatpants and a oversized hoddie on. This is my daily wear to hide my bruises and scars.

I'm ugly anyways.When I walk the street people be like she look like a slut.

But they don't know what I go through at home.I try not to listen but it's hard when you the center of attention.

I start walking the 45 minutes to school.While,Carol and Candace pass me in their best friend car. I was listening to Anthony Hamiltion while I was walking.

I heard a group of guys say,

"Hey baby,you need a ride"

I shake my head no.

"Come on,it's okay we won't bite much."

I heard an unfamiliar voice, "She said no".

"We're sorry, sir"they said.They race off.

"Are you okay?"the mystery man asked.

I nodded my head.

"Why are you walking by yourself?" He asked.

I looked at him,then start walking faster. He jogged to catch up with me.

"My name is Lucious."he said.

Did I ask his name? What kind of name is Lucious?

I waved my hand at him.

"You don't talk much do you?" He asked.

"Look,sir thanks for helping me and all. But, can you leave me alone? I'm just trying get to school."I said

"You do talk,thank you lord."he exclaimed.

I glare at him
