You always do this. Talk talk talk to other girls then your girlfriend gets your attention for five seconds and you suddenly have no interest. I yelled.

That's a lie. He protested.

Cam and I have been fighting no stop for the last couple of days. We bicker over everything and he says it's my fault most of the time.

You know what then you can sleep on the couch. I snapped.

Love to. He said storming off.

I slammed the door and I changed into my pjs. I loved Cameron dearly but lately it seems like he doesn't. I closed my eyes hoping for a better tomorrow.

My mom came rushing in my room with my brother. The fireworks were popping loudly all over the city mostly by our house.

Ok I need you guys to stay quiet for me please. Mama said trembling.

I was 7, my sister was 6, my brother was 12. I heard the voice of Uncle Mateo yelling angrily in Spanish.

My sister was silently crying along with mama. I looked over to my brother who had held me tighter than ever.

Is he coming? I whispered.

Sshhh baby papa has it taken care of. Mama calmed me.

Tears came out my eyes as more yelling and popping came. I couldn't stop shaking from the thought of being killed.

Stomps and heavy foot steps were heard. Our room was the first room you saw when you came upstairs.

Mateo leave no is here. Papa yelled.

No. Mateo snapped.

The door flew opened and a sinister grin came upon his face as he reached towards me. Mama tried to pull for me but Uncle Mateo tugged harder and kicked her. Blood was seen dripping from her head.

Maya. Papa gasped.

Mamá. I cried out.

Uncle Mateo grabbed me by my throat and I was kicking with all the little time I had left. Uncle Mateo took a knife out of his pocket.

Miguel give me the money or I'll hurt Alina. Uncle Mateo threatened.

Im not Miguel. I'm Rafael your brother and that's Alexandria your niece. Papa said slowly.

LIER! Uncle Mateo roared.

He clutched me tighter and my brother tried to save me but Uncle Mateo punched. My sister was sobbing uncontrollably and I was turning purple.

Shut her up. Or I'll kill her too. Uncle Mateo yelled.

No. Papa protested.

Uncle Mateo put me down and I was gasping for air. He got closer to Papa with the knife and put it up to his neck.

I'll will kill all of you don't try me. Uncle Mateo warned.

My sister was still crying and we tried to calm her. But Uncle Mateo threw her on the bed and she hit the wall.

You bastard! Papa roared.

I'll show what a bastard is. Uncle Mateo mimicked.

He picked me up and drew a line with the knife on my inner thigh. I screamed with agony.

Stop. I cried.

You hurt my family now I hurt you! Papa said with fury in his eyes.

He lunged at Uncle Mateo which the tumbled and knocked over stuff. I tried to help everyone else but my brother said call help again.

I tried to walk but my leg was starting to give up. I laid down for two seconds then got up to crawl. The knife came hurling towards me in blind sight. Struck me in my kidney.

Ahhhhhhhh! I screamed at the puncture.

Baby. Mama said walking up from her unconscious state.

Help me. I whined.

My heart was slowly pumping. I was dying from losing all this blood.

Help me...

Lex, Alexa it's me Cam wake up for me baby. Cam shook me up.

I shot up and I saw Cam. I looked at him with tears about to burst out my eyes. He was worried but he pulled me close.

I think it's about time to tell you what I have. Even though we're six months in. I said quietly.

Ok. Just tell me when you're ready. He said rocking some side to side.

I have PD and PTSD. PD is Panic Disorder where I Panic out the blue. Like a few weeks ago. You weren't here but I did. PTSD is Post Trauma Stress Disorder. I have flashbacks and nightmares about a certain incident. Nightmares like i just had now. I mumbled words like help me or i scream. I explained.

Cam looked at me sincerely and kissed my forehead. He also just nodded along.

When I was 7 my uncle was beyond drunk and this is why we don't celebrate Independence Day in Canada. It happened on that day. I explained lowly.

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know. I knew I shouldn't pressure you now to spend time with my family on the 4th of July. He apologized.

Anyways my mom and brother Julio came running in and told my sister Liliana to hide in the closet. That's how Julio overcame his claustrophobia. My uncle on the other hand was looking for a family that owed him money. We were not. But he thought were anyways he came to the closet we were hiding in and he grabbed me my throat and he held a- a knife to my throat. I explained. I started to slow down a little more viewing that night.

You can stop I get you don't have to further on. Cam said protectively.

He knocked out my mom, he he he punched my brother, almost paralyzed my sister, he gave me this scar, he fucking took out one of my kidneys. And I for one saw heaven for at least 12 seconds. I don't care if he's family he ruined and scarred my damn life. I said furiously with tears running down my eyes.

Well I'm here now and I promise to never hurt you. Cam sighed.

It doesn't matter now cause I'm already hurt.
