We reach the room and Liz sits down on her bed as I sit on mine.
"So the CIA is after you?"
"He's not the CIA. He is my crazy uncle, who used to be part of the CIA."
Liz just stares at me to go on. So I start from what I know was the start of this whole fucked up life that I am in.
**********************************************************************************************************
"Mom? Dad?" I look around the house. I heard someone come home.
"Mommy?" I whine. Still there was no answer.
I creep down the stairs careful to not step on the spots to make them creak.
"Why are you here Bruce?" I hear my mom ask in a shaky voice.
"To get what I deserve Mona. You fucked over my life so I am going to do the same to you." the strange man half shouted.
I cover my mouth with my hand so that I won't make a sound.
"Bruce! Listen to me! They were going to put us in prison and take her away from us if we didn't cooperate." mom tries to explain. Everything is going over my head but I am too scared to go back up to my room. The garage door opens and I hear dad pull in. Mom and the man are quietly waiting for dad to come inside.
The garage door finally closed and the door leading inside opens.
"Mona I'm -" his brief case and keys fall to the floor, "you son of a bitch! You have no right to be in my house!" he shouts in his mean daddy voice. Fear has fully consumed my body but I make no movement to go see who this Bruce is.
"Relax I was just leaving Tom." the man says coolly. "Remember what I said Mona." His footsteps begin to get louder and louder. He reaches the front door and turns and looks straight at me. He breaks out into a big creepy smile before slamming the door.
*********************************************************************************************************
I get up from my bed and rush to the bathroom and vomit everything that I just ate for breakfast. Every time I think of him smiling at me like did makes me feel sick.
"Amy?" Liz starts to run my back as the tears stream down my face. I rest my back against the bathtub. I don't bother moving out of the bathroom just in case I get sick again.
************************************************************************************************************
"Not Amy! Please not my baby!" mom cries out. I'm in bed and I get out bed. I grab my giraffe stuff animal and crawl under my bed just like mom and dad told me too.
"I've come to claim what is mine Mona. There is no way around it." he man's voice hisses.
"She is not your daughter I took a damn paternity test! I can show you the results!" Mom pleads.
"She is my daughter and you're her mother. You drugged me that night. I know it was you!" He shouts. "Let me do what you did to me!"
I hear someone get shoved against a wall and my mom screaming no over and over again. I pressed my ear further against the floor. Then the groaning started; coming from both my mom and the man.
"Bruce" my mom moans. They were getting louder and louder when suddenly it became quiet. I hear the front door unlock and my dad's footsteps.
"I'm home!" he calls out. I hear him scream and then him shouting. I couldn't make out what he was saying but I began to cry. The next thing I knew the police were at my house.
************************************************************************************************************
"He.....He killed her?" Liz asks. I shrug.
"I don't know. All I know is that there were no stab wounds on her body. She must have over dosed or something." I reply.
Liz grew silent and I can tell she doesn't know what to say. I got up off the bathroom floor and moved to my bed. The nausea has stopped and I became uncomfortable.
"I wish I could access the records but he has people that work for the police so there is no way for me to get them." I tell her before continuing my story.
***********************************************************************************************************
"Dad I don't want to go to a new school" I say.
"And why is that my love bug?"
"I'm scared. What if the girls don't like me? What if they tease me because I don't a mom anymore? What if I have to make a project for mother's day? Who am I going to give it to? Please don't make me go!" I start to cry.
Dad picks me up and I wrap my arms and legs around his body.
"Amy, I know that you are scared to start first grade but I know that you will have no problem making new friends. And they won't tease you about mom and if you do you let me know and I will take care of it" he kisses my forehead.
"Ok. Daddy?"
"Yes Amy"
"I love you" I tell him. He smiles and kisses my nose before setting me down.
"I love you too."
When I got to school, dad was holding my hand. I had a new back pack on and in my right hand was a matching lunch box. There was a group of 3 girls that began to walk towards me. I wanted to hide behind my dad but I stood where I was. They invited me to come play on the swing set and I accepted their offer. We were officially friends.
About two months into school everything was going great. My dad dropped me off and I ran to my classroom. I hung up my backpack on my hook and raced towards the swings to join my new best friends. At first recess I heard my name over the loud speaker asking me to come to the office. I walk into the principal's office and I see a policeman, a lady with a clipboard where a business suit, my teacher, and the principal. I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
***********************************************************************************************************
Liz let out a sob. I didn't even realize that she started to cry. Tear are streaming down my face. She got up from her bed and pulled me into her. We sat on my bed crying.
"You were only six" she cries. Our tears dried and we sat there silently.
"How...how did your dad pass?" she whispers.
"He was driving to work and he hit traffic. There was a teenager on her phone texting and was going 75 mph not realizing that my dad's car was stopped. She rammed into him and he was killed on the spot." I tell her.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry Amy" she says. "Fuck that sucks. Oh my god" She hugs me again. I hug her back and smile.
"Thanks for listening to my life story" I chuckle.
"No problem" she smiles at me. "So Bruce....is after you why?"
