Strange Things

Part 2: The Downfall

     "WHO THE HELL IS THIS"?! I started to get extra hot and anxious. "Daddy its a friend of mines he came to drop me some food off" I said. DROP YOU SOME FOOD OFF? I dont give a damn about no food this nigga shouldnt be in my house! He punched him in his stomach and started punching him in his face. I was yelling telling him to stop but it seems that my voice wasnt working. I went into the kitchen and got a pot and smacked my dad with it and he was knocked out. I felt bad but I didnt want Josiah to get hurt badly and not talk to me ever again because I was just starting to get close to someone. I helped Josiah up and apologized and he told me it was okay but I knew inside my heart that it wasnt. "Are you okay to go home now ? I can help you" I said. He grunted and said yes help me up please. I had to hurry up before my mom saw all of this which was something I didnt want happening. I helped him to his car in the passenger seat because he wanted me to drive him home like I know how to drive but he was in pain so I was going to try my best. He told me the directions in order to get to his house and I helped him out of the car. We went through his back door because it was closer to his room. I layed him down on his bed and I stared at him , I felt sympathy for him because he was in so much pain all because of my shitty ass father.
       I wanted to make him feel better because he's so nice to me but I didnt know what to do. I watched him close his eyes and all I could do is stare at him and admire his handsome face. He was darkskin , nice pretty white teeth, tall like 6 feet and so mannerable. I started to give him a massage just like I seen on TV because I wasnt sure of how to do it but good thing the scene from the movie I had watched that day played in my head so I could remember how to do it. He seemed to be enjoying it and out of no where I started to vent to him about whats going on because why not? The least I could do is tell him because he had got beat up by my father. He loved listening to me I could tell by the way he was looking at me. It made me all warm inside and comforted. I had layed on his chest and fell asleep unaware that my mom was going to be back home in a few.
        My mom had returned home to my father laying on the floor. She screamed and yelled my name but I was no where to be found. She put the groceries down and touched my father he was still knocked out so she left him right there in the livingroom floor. She called my phone several of times but I didnt answer I only realized it when I had woke up. I knew I shouldnt have left now my mom and dad are probably going at it. Josiah I have to go , I have to check up on my mother, I dont want to leave her alone with my dad. He got up although he was in pain and took me home. I ran up the stairs to get to our house we were on the 3rd floor in the complex building. I came inside the house and my father had a drink in his hand while my mom was layed out on the couch. Ann come here babygirl, he said. Now I dont want to be mad at you for what happened earlier and I dont want your mom knowing what happened either. Lets just say we had a disagreement and you needed space away from me and I was drunk so I had passed out, he said. Knowing that none of it made sense I just went along with it. I walked away from him and he followed me to my room. I only want whats best for you, he said. I love you. My mind was confused and tossed with so many lies I had a different perspective of him now. Daddys gone now I will check up on you later. He kissed me on my cheek and left.
         The weekend is over and Monday has came around. I didnt want to go to school because I knew I wasnt going to be able to function. My mom woke me up to some good breakfast and was asking me questions about what happened from yesterday. I told her what my father had told me to say. She went along with it and told me to not miss my bus to school. I went down to the bus stop waiting on the bus to come and I saw Josiah in his car riding pass my house , he stopped and asked if I needed a ride to school. I told him I wanted to take the bus today so I could clear my head. He was being understanding and went on to school. On the bus it wasnt many people on there but it was this one girl that always sat by me and tried to talk to me about her life. I wasnt in the mood to making friends but somehow I always listened to her because I kind of felt her lonesome. Her name was Amanda and she was the nerd in the school very smart but she never fits in just like me. I believe she has a crush on me but im not into females. It was word around the school so thats why I tried not to be around her when other people were present.
         I arrived at school and I went to my locker it had markings that said "Youre ugly" "Youre too skinny" "Youre homeless" "Youre a slut" but none of those things were true except for one. I have to go to that locker everyday to see this stuff. It makes me upset of how people treats me. I started walking to my class and josiah called my name down the hallway. Ann, where are you going?I just wanted to talk to you for a minute. Im going to class in 5 minutes I will be late so you have about 3 minutes to get whatever youre going to say out. He asked me did I want to go on a date with him this weekend. I started to blush and I pushed him and said youre lying. He said im not im serious. Obviously I said yes and couldnt wait for the weekend to come. We hugged eachother and went to class. I had this super hard math class and I sat in the back. I never felt like I actually learned something in this class. After class my teacher told me to see him. He wanted to know why I dont participate and why im always silent in class. He wanted to move me to the front but I didnt want him to. Josiah was waiting for me at the door so I told my teacher I would catch up with him later. It was break time which was 30 minutes for all high schoolers. Me and Josiah sat outside and talked as usual about everything.
         As time increases school lets out. I walked home feeling a little happy. A car rides by on the side of me and pulls a gun out on me I screamed and they said get in. I got in the car and it was friends of my dad. "What are you doing?" "Where are you taking me?" They didnt answer me. At this point I knew I was in big trouble and needed help. I started to text Josiah I could only send the word "Help" before my dads friend snatched my phone out my hand and out the window. I didnt know what to do so I started crying. It was two men , how was I ever going to get away? I started to grab the steering wheel just to get in an accident. The man in the passenger seat threw me to the back seat and pulled the car over. He started to smack me with his gun and told me to shut up and stop making dumb moves. He took my pants off and I yelled the other man held me down. They were too strong I could barely get up. We werent too far from my house so if I could just do something to get them off of me and run then I would be okay. Next thing I knew I was naked and my father had shot both men.
