A Thug's Cry

Chapter one

Deyla Pov* (deyla in the mm)

I woke up to the sound of creaking against the cheap wooden floors of our two bedroom apartment.

The familiar sounds replayed over and over as I stretched out leaving my bed. This was nothing new. I followed the noises to where they always led me. My mother's bedroom.... I glanced at the ticking clock in the middle of the hall.

9:37 am. Too late for my mother to still be home. I peered through the slightly open door and immediately became sick at the scene.

There he was my mother's 26 year old boyfriend Chance on top of my 19 year old sister. I knew this was happening I silently said to myself, but i pushed the thoughts to the back of my mind.

I had to think fast! This is it and this has gone on way too long... im going to stop this. I crept down the stairs missing the steps i knew would croak.  I quickly rushed to the kitchen once i made it down the last few steps. I threw open the drawers in search of a weapon... something to hurt him but not kill him, im not jail material.

I searched for about two minutes before opening the dishwasher and finding a dirty frying pan. I skipped steps running back upstairs before I burst in the door startling them both.

"Yo what the Fuck" chance yelled

I cocked back as far as I could knocking him across the back of his head. He fell off the bed landing right beside my foot... he was unconscious.

"Deyla what the hell is wrong with you" maleyse screamed at me.

"He was fucking raping you.. what do you mean." I shouted back at her

"You just need to mind your own damn business" she said as she got up and rushed to his aid.

I stood there in shock as I watched my older sister nurse the man who was taking advantage of her. Something ain't right i thought.

I left the room in search for the house phone. I didnt have a cellphone because we could no longer afford them so we made all calls from a landline. I dialed my mom's job and waited for the operator.

"Hello this is Marie at Summit executive center how may I assist you?" The lady stated.

"I need Cherise Bryant please it's a emergency tell her it's her daughter."

"One moment please" she replied

She placed the phone on hold for about 4 minuted before i heard it click over.

"What?! girl im at work this better be important." My mom mumbled into the phone as if she was around too many people.

"Mom I just caught maleyse and chance in bed at first I thought he was raping her but she seemed to be enjoying it." I rambled into the phone.

"Girl! Don't call my damn job with that bullshit." She said with aggression in her tone.

*CLICK*
The phone hung up and i rolled my eyes in disbelief.
