Helpless Soul...

Life Isn't Easy

Aaliyah's POV...

"Hey, there she go....that's the one I've got to know. such a cutie right? Whole crew is tight but they don't do it like -" my alarm went off, my hand reached up to the snooze button. It stopped. 

BANG ! My bedroom door swung open. I saw him standing there. Bloodshot eyes. Hair scruffled.  Leaning against the door frame sluggishly.

" I told you to turn that shit off yesterday bitch" his voice slurred making my bare neck hair stand up. He does this every morning, everyday to be exact but I still get scared. HIM. My own father treats me like a slave. Like I mean nothing but a pile of shit to him. His drunken ways have caused me to attempt suicide but I can't. I just can't leave Craig, my brother alone to face him.

"i-i-i-i-i m s-s-orry" I stuttered

" shut. the. fuck. up" he stepped closer with every word. I tried to speak but my  throat was clogged up. I couldn't scream for help this time. My eyes trailed to the object in his hand. 

A whiskey bottle, not surpising but the fact it was broken from the bottom made my heart skip a beat and not the good kind. My mind was questioning wether or not he was going to use it on me. I sat up in bed  pulling the duvet up to my neck in defence.

He was now inches away from me, laughing while releasing a vodka scented breath. I made a stank face then went back to my original face as soon as I noticed I had made it. 

"WHAT WAS THAT" he screamed in my face letting the strong scent get to my head.

"n-n-n-n othing" I stuttered again while fighting back tears

"GIRL, you are really testing my temper right now. You don't want me to use this right?" He said while holding up the broken, sharp edged bottle.

I opened my mouth but the figure at my door caused both me and my father to turn around.

"Baby, come back to bed" the woman whined in a sweet voice. She looked around 25 which is way too young for my father who is 44 but it's no surprise for his man whorish ways. 

"I'll deal with you after you come back from school, now go wash your filthy self" he said turning back to face me in disgust. I sat there as I watched him walk towards the woman, slapping her butt. He walked infront of her, she turned around to look at me like I'm a helpless soul.
