I.S.O.L.A.T.E.D * Misfit's Living in a World on FIRE*

           School ended that day , I rode the school bus alone and I also walked home alone. Prince was to upset to be seen , I started to worry about him being in public. The story he told me broke my heart and made me feel like I could actually help him , but in reality I really can't. All I could do is wait , wait to see what was going to happen to him. I walked in the house and saw my mom on the couch sleeping , ugh! "that man" has something against my mom!. " Mommy why are you on the couch?" I ask , " Oh , honey i'm just wating for your father to get home" she says waking up , I glaced out the window seeing him get out his car. I started to notice her belly getting big. Man , the life of being a big sister. " Hey hey! , where is dinner Risa?" he askes slamming his keys on the table " I am sorry i'll go fix it now" she gets up week holding her stomch , " Mom no!" I grabbed her then I looked at him. Now I finally talked to him since they got married, " she isnt going to fix you anything!" I yelled , " Avanna!  , don't speak to him like that!" she yelled back yanking her arm out of my hand , " Excuse but how dare you talk to me like that little girl" he yells , as he walked up towards me and slaps me into the glass table and it breaks. " oh my god! what did you do!!" I heard my mom yell , I sat there covering my face and my nose was bleeding and I looked up at my mom with a teary face , " Now! , Ria get my dinner ready! , and little girl you will respect I don't care if I am not your father!" he says walking into the room. " Since dinner is late! , you sleeping out here tonight again!" he says slamming the door and locking it. My mom goes to me and helps me up , " are you okay baby?" she says dabbing my nose with a wet paper towel, " yeah mama , i'm going upstairs" I say grabbing my backpack and running trying to avoid crying infront of her. Like she needed this to worry about shes had enough of this, and I wasn't going to stand for it.

     I sat upstairs in my room finish my homework when I heard a knock on the door, I came out my room and looked down stairs to see it was Prince. " Hello?" my mom says , " Hey is , Avanna here?" he askes , " Yes shes upstairs , and you are?" , " I'm Prince , i'm one of her friends " he says with a slit smile , he notices the marks on my mom's neck and her arms , the bruses on her lower eye. I haven't noticed it , but he has its all wrong. " here I come momma" I say coming down stairs " Alright , dinner is going to be ready so don't go far honey" she says covering up in her sweeter. She shut the door and I looked at Prince , he looks at me with a shocked look. " Whats wrong with her neck? , her amrs?" he says , " I don't wanna talk about it" I say walking away from my yard. He grabs me with a serious look , " Avanna! , if you are going to be scared of talking to me about this stuff , then what do we have here?" he says holding my arm , " I'm sorry Prince it's just , "that man" slapped me today , when I got home from school" I say choked up and crying , " oh my god Avanna" he says in shock and he immdately hugs me kissing my forehead while i'm crying to him. " I'm so sorry , I gotta stop asking , I just couldn't stand the look of your mom , seeing her beat up like that" he says hugging me " it's alright , shes scared of him , he cheats on her and she doesn't want to believe it , he deniyes! that , that's his baby" I say yelling and pointing at the window. 

    That man looks out the blinds and gets angry hearing me yell about him. " Avanna it's alright come here" he says hugging me again and patting the back of my back. As soon as he does that man runs out yelling " Leave then! ,yeah! i abuse yo momma! , but she loves me! that aint my child!" , I look at him backing up on Prince , and he catches me. " Shut! and stay away from me! , you fucking child abuser! , you know nothing about me or my momma! just stay out of our lives and go to your hoes!" I say yelling back with my straigh hair in my face, my face is solid red and i'm crying screaming at the top of my lungs. " You get of here! , yo momma is staying with me , but I am never taking care of no kid!" he says. Luckily my mom heard it all and locks him out the house. 

    " Risa! , open the damn door! Risa!" he bangs on the door, " Come on Avanna" Prince takes me t the back unseen and into my house with my mom, " Oh baby you where right! he aint nothing! , i'm so sorry please forgive me" she says hugging me. " Momma i'll always forgive , and stop saying sorry , it's not your fault" I say rubbing her back. I walk her in the living room still hearing that man scream "LET ME IN! RISA!" , my mom sits shaking saying she doesn't know what to do, Prince is hugging my mom claming her down and shes clam and she blesses him. Shes getting along with Prince well, and I am happy , " Ma! , what are we gonna do if he trys to break in?" I ask , " call the police , I don't want him here!" she says crying , " It's alright I got you" Prince says to my mother , I smiled it's been a while since my mom actually liked one of my boyfriends. 

     He finally stops the yelling and it fades, I got scared. Locking every door and window in the house I sat in the living room , I sat next to my mom hugging her telling her it's going to be okay. Is this really it? , we are all misfits living in a world on fire.
