[Mia's POV]

They ask me am I okay, they ask me if I'm happy. Are they asking me that because of the shit that's been thrown at me? Or am I just a little snappy and they genuinely care.

I walk down the street listening to the song "Difficult" by my favorite rapper, Eminem. This song is truly amazingly sad. The lyrics. The slow beat. The pain in his voice as he raps about his best friend dying. It's a great song when you listen to what he is saying. It never fails to bring me into tears.

Eminem is just a great rapper, most of his songs I can relate to his past and current struggles. That's one reason why he's my favorite.

They say grievance has a way of affecting everyone different. If its true, how the fuck am I suppose to get over you? As difficult as it sounds.

The song finishes and I stop at my door step and take a deep breath. I should tell you a little about me.

My name is Mia and I'm 17 years old. I'm in my last year of Johnson's High School. I work at a fro-yo place, it pays enough for me to eat so i guess its ok. I have a 2 year old brother named Alex, our mother died when he was one month old so he doesn't really remember her like I did. Nobody really knows how she died but I try not to think about it because It's too much for me. I miss her so much.

I don't know how my dad was/is taking this so well. He didn't shed one tear at the funeral, actually he wasn't there for half of it. I never question it because if it upsets him, he'll hit me hard.

Yeah, my dad is abusive to me, but not to Alex, he doesn't pay Alex any mind. He doesn't even take care of him, so I had to step up and care for him.

When I turn 18 I want to move out and take Alex with me, that's why I've been saving money, I have about one grand. I've been saving for almost 2 years.

I snap out of my thoughts when I hear someone wiggling the door knob trying to open it. I jump to my feet and twisted to knob, opening the door to a tiny baby boy. "Hey, Alex" I smiled, picked him up and put him on my waist.

"How was your day buddy" I said kissing his cheek walking inside of our home. Heading straight upstairs, so I wont get stopped from my dad.

"MIA!" Paul yelled, fuck. Spoke too soon. "GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE!". I put Alex down and told him to go to my room, as soon as he did i walked down stairs to Paul, my dad. "Why the hell were you late!" He screamed and I flinched.

"I-I missed the b-bus. So I had to walk" I stuttered. He got off the couch and stood over me.

Paul isn't like them old slobs, He's really tall and strong. He is a scary looking man, he's never been around when I was born. He was always at work, but when he did come home he never paid me any attention. He always use to beat my mom, so I'm happy my mom is dead. So she won't have to deal with his bullshit. Now she's happy, she deserves it.

"Well, I don't care if you missed the bus. Get here on time!" he lifted his hand up, balled it up, swung and hit me really hard in my face. I dropped down on the floor in pain and started crying silently so he won't hear me. "I'm going out, watch your fucking brother." he hissed, kicked me and left out the door.

I groaned in pain picking myself off the floor. I hopped to the bathroom to clean myself up, I looked in the mirror and saw blood all on my face around my nose. "Fuck" I signed and grabbed a paper towel and wiped the blood off.

Surprisingly my nose isn't broke. I walked upstairs to where Alex was, I opened the door revealing a innocent little cute toddler sleeping. I smiled to myself. Alex doesn't deserve to live with this monster. I can't wait till i can't leave this hell hole.

I took my shower and put on my pajamas. I laid next to Alex and fell asleep. Tomorrow is the last day of school. I graduate too, but I dont expect anyone to come,

because I have no one but my brother.
