Ella's POV
Dear Diary, 11-20
The past week has been good and bad all at the same time. I met the boy I seen in my dream! His name is Chris. He so fucking gorgeous to me. He hella nice too, this past week he been giving me rides to and from work and school, I eventually stopped picking up my bus pass. It's crazy cuz he mad protective of me. He always watch me when other boys be around, even his friends. He don't want nobody near me besides him and my female friends.
Wonder why he do that? I don't have no real feelings for him, or at least not yet. He made me take his number the third day he gave me a ride cuz he say he want us to be close. He always tell me to "be careful because dirty niggas like pretty girls like you." and I always think about that. Especially cuz of what's going on at my house.
Which leads me to some other bullshit. I been working my ass off at McDonald's and I moved up to manager. I told my mama and she got hyped up, and told me I could get only $100 out of my checks. What the fuck type of shit is that? Her ass ain't even working no more, she counting on my money and the niggas she fuck to pay bills and feed her. I never thought I would see the day my mother would become a bum ass prostitute. That's sad.
I closed my book and looked around. I laid there and listened to the sound of my mother's headboard hitting the wall and her screaming, and whatever nigga she got in there grunting. I sighed and put my headphones in.
I sat there doing some homework and studying until my door busted open. I looked up and Mama was standing there in her robe next to some man that had no shirt on.
"Hey baby girl." she sat next to me on my bed.
"Hey." I mumbled back.
"Go wait in the living room, Taji." she said to the boy. He nodded, looked at me then walked away.
"Who is that and why you bring him in my room."
She looked down and sighed. "I need a favor, baby girl."
"What is it?"
She sighed again. "Taji said he'll pay $1000 if you let him fuck you."
"What?!" I stood up and yelled.
"$1000 is a lot of money, Ella. You could take like 2 weeks off work, maybe skip school a few days and work with some more men to get some more money for me-"
"Mama are you fucking serious? You want me to fuck a grown ass man for money?" I yelled, cutting her off.
"Don't you cuss as me, girl! I asked you to do one thing and you do me like this?" she yelled getting in my face.
"I'm not finna do that! I'm not finna hoe around just because you want me to." I said, making her slap me. I completely lost my balance and fell to the floor.
"Tyrone gon be mad when he hear that you did this." she mumbled.
"Fuck him and fuck you, he ain't my daddy and you only his bitch." I said.
As soon as I did I seen Tyrone walk up to me and snatch me by my shirt. "Get up, go wash up, and get ready for Taji. I'm sick of yo ass already." he said before punching me.
They walked out and I crawled to the bathroom. I took a quick bath and used some cheap ass makeup that barely covered my bruises. I changed into a decent bra and panty set then waited for Taji on the bed. My stomach turned as he walked in and licked his lips, looking me up and down.
I started to cry as he snatched the set off and entered me.

I woke up and looked around. My sheets was bloody and my whole body was hurting like hell. I sat up and limped to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and my cheek was swollen. I sighed and pulled on a white tank top and some grey sweats. I put on my white converse, grabbed my coat, phone and purse. I packed some clothes in my bookbag then walked out my room.
