I started to fold clothes while my mother is on the couch doing her nails. She is not lazy well when so called daddy is here she works her butt when he is here.I try to make her rest as much as possible when he is not home. "Hey mommy?"
"Yes dear." He asked me in calm warm voice. It made me smile when she talked to me like that.
"Can you sing that song I like?" I don't know what the song is called but I love it when she sings it.
She smiles and starts singing. "So tell me what does it look like in heaven, is it peaceful?, is it free like they say?"
After the song she sang and got the laundry done daddy came home.
To be honest I don't like daddy at some points. He drinks this weird smelly drink and it makes him a daddy monster.
"Hey baby." Daddy says to mommy. "Hey honey how was work?" She said in a sweet voice. I guess daddy is good today hopefully he doesn't drink that stinky drink tonight.
I go in my room to get my baby brother ready for bed.
I set him on my desk and put footy PJs with spaceships and planets. Jake loves space and stuff like that. I can see him as an astronaut when he gets older.
I look a lot like my brother we both a blond hair and blue eyes. We are both very skinny and short. The only thing that is different is that I have some freckles on my cheek bones and he doesn't.
I picked Jake up and set him on my bed. He does have a crib but I don't trust daddy while he is in the crib.
****flashback****
I started to draw a picture of Bambi that's when I heard a loud crash. It sounded like the door slamming.
I check on Jake to see if it woke him up but he is still sound asleep. He sleeps like a rock in that crib of his.
I walk into the kitchen and saw daddy yelling at my mother about is job. The thing was is that he has that stinky drink that makes him a daddy monster in his left hand.
"Honey I think you should quite if it makes you-" my mother got cut off by him throw his drink at the wall. The glass shattered into Millon's if pieces.
"Your going to take away something I love?" He said loudly. I saw him spit a little when he said that.
My mom stayed silent looking the other way. "Fine if you wanna take something I love away then ill take something you love away from you." He said and started walking into Jake's room and my room.
I ran chasing daddy but then he started running to the room. He slammed the door open and took Jake and started shaking him.
I could hear him screaming and crying for help. I got into the room and screamed at the top of my lungs.
He set Jake back into the crib and walked towards the crib.
I knew what was going to happen next but I don't regret what I did. I will do anything to protect Jake. He is the only one I need in this world.
****flashback ended****
I never forgot that day, I wish I could block it out with the other things but I can only block so much.
Jake finally went to sleep so I decided to see mommy.
I almost walked into the kitchen until I heard daddy scream out words.
"Do you think I care about this dress?" He screamed and spit at the same time. Mommy stayed silent and daddy leaned against the counter taking a sip of his daddy monster drink thing.
He set is drink down and took my mothers hair and pulled it back hard. She screamed in pain and cried.
I wish I could do something but I'm only nine. I cant go against a 28 year old man."Ugly b*tch!" Daddy yelled in her face. He finally let go of her hair a went to the sink.
I walked up to mommy and kneeled down in front of her. I wiped her tears away with my tiny thumb " you look beautiful mommy like an Angel." I said softly. What I said was true she is beautiful. I wish I could be as beautiful as her.
A small smile appeared on her face and I smile big but then it went away. "Oh boo who if she is beautiful!you should be in your room! Who said you could get out of your room?" He said taking another sip if his drink.
"I'm sorry daddy, I didn't know." I said shyly. "You think I'm your father? I am no father to a bratty child like you!" He got up and went after me. I got up and ran out side.
Of course he is faster then me. He grabbed me and put me over his shoulder. I started kicking, punching and screaming bloody murder.
Let's just say I'm going to wake up with a black eye and a bloody lip.
