The Mafia And His Queen

Chapter 3 - A Glimpse

Flashback

Dear Mommy,

    I just turned 9.... It's been a year since you went to God. I miss you :( I read this book and it said people who go up to God can be seen in the sky. But i can't seem to find you? All I see is stars, hmm maybe that's where you are? From on now I will look at the brightest star and talk to it, ok mommy?
           Love you

It's my birthday today and it's the first year we are not going to celebrate it, and I am really sad. I asked daddy the other day if I could have my friends have for my birthday but he said no. He said I don't deserve it.

I went downstairs and saw Aubrey sitting on the breakfast table eating an apple. "Hi Rey" I greeted her. "Happy Birthday Al!!" She greeted me back and brought me in a big hug. I love my older sister, she never lets me miss mommy. "Wait I made cupcakes for you let me go get them" She said and left to the kitchen while I set on the breakfast table patiently waiting.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you" Aubrey came in singing, and sat the two cupcake in front of me. "Come on Al blow the candle and make a wish so we can have the cupcake." Rey impatiently said while clapping her hands. I laughed at her and blew my candle, making a wish that I could have a party today. I picked up the knife to cut my cupcake when the cupcake went flying across the table.

I looked to my right to see a very angry looking daddy. I looked from my smashed cupcake to my daddy to my cupcake to my daddy and bursted into tears. I guess daddy didn't like that cause next thing I know my whole face flew to the other side as daddy slapped me.

"Daddy!" Rey yelled running to my side. "Go to your room Aubrey!" Daddy yelled. "No dad, I am not going without Alex. Aubrey insisted. "I SAID GO TO YOUR ROOM AUBREY RIGHT NOW" Daddy screamed on top of his lungs. Me and Aubrey both flinched at his tone and Rey ran to her room leaving me alone with daddy.

"You worthless piece of shit, daddy yelled, how dare you try to go against my words and celebrate your birthday?!?!" " I didn't daddy, Aubrey just made a cupcake for me" I argued back which was a wrong decision because I got another slap and then he slammed my face into the table as I let out a cry.

"Don't F*cking argue with me you little bitch, he breathed, you want to celebrate your birthday huh? He asked while nodding his head. "Lets celebrate it then. He took out a lighter from his pocket and told me to hold out my hand. I shook my head and fisted my hand so he couldn't take it. But he forcefully takes myhand and smiles at me.

"Why are you scared dear? Huh? You wanted to celebrate right? Lets celebrate..." He twisted my arm in a painful grip and then turned on the lighter and burned my skin. "Ouch daddy that hurts please stop" I begged but he didn't and kept going. By the time he was done half of my arm was burnt to a serious degree.

"Now be a good girl and don't put any medicine on that ok?" And I nodded.

I jerked up as my nightmare ended. Not again I thought.
