Dear diary,
Papa hit mama yesterday day, they were yelling at each other as always about bills and papa not giving enough when papa just backhanded mama, I was sitting on the stairs when it happened so they didn't see me but once a grasp left my lips papa's head snapped in my direction. He walked towards the stairs and all I could do was sit there shaking and prayed with all my heart that he didn't leave any bruises. Well my prayers went unanswered because as I am writing this my back hurts from where he dragged me down the stairs and I have a pounding headache because of how he picked me up by my hair. I don't think I can go to school or work tomorrow, everything hurts too much. Why did he hit mama? And why did he beat me? I don't understand, but the thing that always bothers me, the thing that puzzles me the most is the fact that mama didn't help me. She just sat there, her back against the wall tears running down her cheeks and she just watched as papa hit me over and over again. Diary why doesn't mama help me? it's not like I wasn't screaming or crying or begging for mercy. Didn't she hear my screams, didn't she see the pain on my face as papa kicked me, slapped me, or when he removed his belt and proceeded to hit me with it anywhere and everywhere he could. Maybe she just hates me and wants me to feel just as much pain as she does. (tears hit the page)
Your besty,
Ariana
