Down Bad (August Alsina Love/Hate Story)

Prolouge

A'mere POV

I had no clue on where I was going but I knew for a fact I couldn't stay there for a few days. It was pouring down rain, as I fought threw the pain overshadowing my body. My life seems to always take a turn for the worse since I turned 10. Nothing was the same anymore. I live in New Orleans born and raise but if you meet me , you would think I wasn't from here. My life over the past couple years has been rough. My dad is an alcoholic and my mom is a drunkie. My dad doesn't abuse my mom because he says he love her. But when it came to me, he didn't think twice about lying a finger on me. I have been his punching bag for 6 years now. My mom on the only hand let's people take advantage of me. When my father isn't here...I'm the best option for her to get quick money. I mean if I was such a mistake why didn't they kill me when they had the fucking chance too? Even though I hate my life, I have to say there is one person who makes it worth living....Mel. Melvin is like a big bro too me. He always looks out for me and there when I need him. Usually, I don't involve him in shit like this, but he is my only resort. I banged on his front door as loud as possible. About a minute later the door open soon revealing Melvin and Chandra. They mugged me at first but eventually let me in noticing my demeanor. That's when all the questions rolled out at once.

Cha: Omg love, wha' happened ta' yo face? Who did this ta' ya? Are ya ok?

Mel: Meme...answa' tha fuckin' question. Df happen?

Me: well um. I was in my room sleep. And I heard arguing going on downstairs which caused me to wake up. And um.... There was some dude there with a gun ready to kill my parents. Even tho I hate both of their guts no one deserves to die. So he seen me and shot at me causing the bullet to graze my left arm. A couple minutes went by and my room door burst open. My dad had a long thick leather belt and he beat me so bad. My mom actually help him as she threw blows at my body. So once the feel asleep. I left and I came here. I'm sorry for waking you all up but there isn't no where else for me to go.

Mel: don't een scress it ma. Ya kno' yah big bro gotcha. All ya have ta do is say tha word and they asses outta here ya heard me?

Me: yea bro I know but even with allat being said and done, it's not like me to send death request on people especially my parents.
