The three Musketeers and their fears

II

Cassie Cassandra

I woke up with red puffy eyes. Last night will be the last time. This will never ever happen again. My mom comes in the room "you ugly hoe. Get up & get out my damn house. You should've left with yo damn sister. Walking around here thinking you cute. Bitch, you look like a damn duck. Acting like a hoe. Can you keep ya legs closed or nah? huh" she said punching the back of my head. I didn't move because it'll make things worst. What kind of mother do I have? What kind of father do I have? Why do my siblings hate me? Are the rhetorical questions I ask myself. I sit there & cry quietly. Once she's through abusing me. I get my things & go to the bathroom quickly. After I taken care of my hygiene & shower. I put my hair into a loose bun & grab my truck keys & head off to school. My oldest sister Vee Veronica, moved out last summer. She begged me to go and live with her but something didn't give me enough courage or pride to leave.

Now I'm wishing I left with her.

Getting raped, abused, manipulated, & being mentally, physically,& emotionally hurt it's not cool. It's sick!

My Name is Cassie Cassandra & I'm 18 years old. I have two best friends. Well, I'm kind of a bad friend because I been hiding my entire life from them. True friends tell each other things.

Last night after my dad raped me I laid there thinking I have to tell someone. THIS SHIT HAS TO STOP. He's too strong to push off & he might kill me if I fight back. So I sit there. I'm afraid to tell an adult because my younger sister's love & adore my parents & I wouldn't want them removed away from the home & end up a foster child.

Beeeeeeeeeep. This truck almost hit me. "Keep your eyes on the road you dumb bitch" the person yelled. "but you the one that almost hit me. Oh" I said quietly under my breath.

I pulled up in front of school rushing to my first-period class. "Shit," I said. I'm late, again.

Chanel Darnell

"Chanel you a fool" this girl Elle said sitting behind me as I was talking about our classmates.

"Girl, I can't stand half the muthafuckas in this damn building. Can't wait till graduation." I said.

"I swear, been waiting since kindergarten. I'm surprised my ass got a 3.5" she said.

"Girl that's nothing," I said.

"Bitch, erbody ain't as smart as yo black ass!" she said.

We both laughed. I'm blessed I'm graduating valet Victorian of my class.

"Elle, just try boo," I said grabbing my bag.

"True True, LSU here I come," she said.

With that, the bell rang.

I walked out the class checking my phone.

I gotta text from my ol G.

Ol G : Your dad and I are out of town. He surprised me for our anniversary. But if you get lonely you can have the girls over or Tarius but he can't spend a night.

Me: ight

My parents work together, therefore they're both gone at the same time & home at the same time. They are gon most of the day but ion really trip about it.

I found my way to chemistry class but Tarrius stopped me "You be such in a rush D" I rolled my eyes & walked faster. He grabbed my backup

"Chanel Darnell, I know you hear me talking to you" I yanked away. He got a lot of nerves tryna talk to me like he wasn't just hugged up with some other girl.
