Black Tears

Chapter 1

Timea pov

I got out of my bed and did my morning routine. I brushed my hair and put it into a messy bun. When I was done I went to the kitchen and attempted to find some food. Its been a few days since I have eaten anything but I'm used to it. When your dad has a drug addiction you tend to run out of a lot of things.

Like love.

Love hasnt existed in my house for seven years. My parents were constantly fighting for a whole year. Then one day my dad had enough. I was eight years old when it happened. I still gave nightmares about it even though I'm 14 now. It's the kind of thing that you cant recover from. I have no one. My dad can barely take care of us because he spends all of his money on drugs. He never thinks about me or what we need.

He is the kind of person to leave and not come back for a few days.

"Timea!" he yelled. I got up and went to his room.

"Huh?"

"I need some money and I know you have some so give it to me."

"I dont have any money. You took everything I had three days ago."

"Go get it or you're a dead kid."

"I told you I dont have anything!" I yelled.

"Go!" he yelled.

I walked out of his room and went to mine. I only hand 15 dollars to my name. If I gave this to him I wouldnt have anything left for me.

"Whats more important?" I said

"Hurry up!" he yelled

I only took him three dollars. I dont know what he can get for three dollars but I need my money more than he does.

"Here." I said.

"What are you crying for? Im trying to help us."

"No you're not! Youre only making the situation worse! You are a drug addict who sells drugs! You get high off of your own supply! You get mad at me when there isnt food! You killed my mother! You have no regrets on anything! You never own up to a single responsibility! You are a poor excuse of a father!" I yelled.

He got up and got in my face. He raised his hand and the beating began. This is typically how my days go. And since its the summer time its even worse.

When he was finished he got up and searched my pockets.

"You were holding out on me huh?" he said. He kicked me in the stomach then walked out.

Once I knew he was gone I got up and cleaned my self. I took another shower and washed my hair. When I was done I put on a tank top and sweatpants. I dried my hair and put it back in a messy bun. I went to my secret stash and got some crackers.

10 that night

I was in my room reading a book when I heard the door open. I heard male voices and I knew who they were. It was my dads boss and his side kick. I closed my door and hid in my closet. They are always looking for me. I don't like neither of them.

I heard yelling and I thought it was the normal conversation that they always have. But then Cam said something different this time.

"Seven shots!" he yelled.

I knew exactly what he was talking about.  My eyes got big and my first thought was to get out of there.

I closed my book and put it in my bag. I threw it over my shoulder and quietly jumped out of my window. As soon as I got out the first shot went off. I fell on the ground.

"Go see if she is dead!" Cam yelled.

His side kick came out,Jay, and I held my breath. I didnt want them to get me. He rolled me over and ran back in the house.

"She dead Cam." he said.

The next five shots were the worst thing I have ever heard. I heard my dad begging for mercy. They didnt stop. Instead they shot him one more time. But this time it was in the head.

The way I was laying in the ground I could see the whole thing. The last thing he said before he bled to death was sorry. He was looking directly at me. They came running out of the house and sped away.

Once I knew they were gone I got up and walked back in the house. My dads lifeless body was there and I seen my mom all over again.

I just stared for a few seconds. Then I heard sirens going off. I got my money from behind a picture frame and walked out.

My mom hid it there because she said that one day we were going to leave him and never look back. It was only 50 dollars because he found it and of course he spent it.

I walked out of my neighborhood as best as I could. My vision started to get blurry. I stumbled up to a huge house and knocked on the door. I yelled for help but then everything went black.

Toni pov

I was in the kitchen talking to Tamar when I heard hard knocks in my front door.

"Tay I'll call you back. Someone is beating on my door like they dont have any sense."

"Ok. Bye love you."

I walked to my front window and looked outside.

"Help!" they yelled.

I opened the door and they fell on my floor. My first thought was that they were drunk. Then I seen something red coming from her back. I bent down and gently shook her.

"Get up." I said.

She didnt nove. She wasnt even breathing. I moved her bag and seen that she was shot. I ran and got a lot of towels to stop the bleeding. I called 911 and they came quickly.

"Ma'am we need for you to ride in the back with her since she is a minor."

"But I'm not her guardian."

"But you were the one who called us so you have to come. We need to go now. She is losing oxygen."

I hopped in and they turned the sirens on. We were there in less than 10 minutes. They made me sign all of her paper work. I had to sign the consent form for her to have surgery.

I called Tamar and she was going to come up here.

15 minutes later

She was up here and the girl was still in surgery. I didnt even know her name. Im a complete stranger.

"How did you get caught up in all of this?" Tay  asked.

"I dont even know. I hung up the phone and looked out my window. She yelled for help and when I opened the door she collapsed on my floor. I tried to get her to get up but she didnt. She wasnt even breathing. I seen blood coming from her back and when I moved it I seen the wound."

"Where was she shot?"

"Her upper right shoulder."

"And she didnt say anything else before she fell?"

"Nothing."

My hands started shaking. I still had her blood all over my hands.

"Tone calm down." Tay said. She rubbed my back but I couldnt calm down.

What if I was to late? What if she died? Who did this to her? Where are her parents?

"Ms. Toni." someone said. They had a white coat on so I assumed it was the doctor.

"Huh."

"She-"

New book! Tell me what you think. Also I want to give a shout out to ChrisBreezyWife16 for giving me this amazing idea.
