Strangers Of The Night

Tatiana

Tatiana was sixteen and half Mexican  half American her family was troublsome. She had come from a broken home. Tatiana's mother didn't know how to love her, she never fit in anywhere, was always into trouble.trouble seemed to follow her at every school she attended. But At her last school she was bullied and sexually harrassed by the boys. It got so bad that she left school at 15 due to the bullying. She got a part time job, and loved her independence. It meant she wasn't at home as much. To see her father passed out drunk on the couch. Her mother half naked laying on the bed in her room with used needles all over on the bed. There were so many times that she was terrified to come home. She needed to know if she was coming home to the warm, loving place that a home should be, or to a war zone where her parents would consently be arguing. Him being a drunk and wasting all the money on whores at the local bar downtown and not being able to support the family. And keep a steady job. She really new what to say to get him going. It was like she ask for it. To make him angry. To the point he would get so volent. That he push her mom around. Hit her in the face. Tatiana would hear sobbing and then yelling And before she knew it she could hear objects smashing against walls. She didn't have know where to go. There was times that Tatiana would sleep in the car. To get away. Tatiana was afriad to be alone with her father in the house she never knew what he was cableable of.
A year later things only got worst. Tatiana's family had moved. And she started a new school. Made a few friends that she confided in. She had made a name for herself but not in a good way. She had made a few guy friends. One whom she started to be interested in. She started dressing different. And that's when her fathers behaviour gradually started to change.
"It was little things at first like him trying to control what she wore and what she did. He started to ask where she was going and who she was speaking to.

"He would get mad at her for talking to boys, even if they were his friends. That would come to the house to drink out back. If she would straighten her hair and put more makeup on he'd ask who she was making the effort for.

One night she was at barabue at her best friend Sarah's house when her father called and she didnt answer . He was so upset that had decided to go get her. When he got there he had seen that she was looking at guy. And giving him that smile. And the batting of her eyes. It made him firious but she swore to him thatshe hadn't but he didn't believe her. He told her to go say goodbye to sarah that he was taking her home. And that's when her life changed. While they were walking home he dragged her off and raped her. She tried to fight back but he bashed her head against the concrete. She became frozen. When he was done he got up fixed himself. Told her to get up and to get home. He just brushed it off as though it was normal. they made it home and she went into the shower.she felt disgusting. There wasn't enough soap to wash him off of her the tears continued to fall down her cheek as she crawled into a ball on the bottom of the tub as the water rinsed away the soap. Things only got more complicated. She tried to talk to her mother about what happened but she was so high all the time that she didn't even where she was most of the time. So during over the next year he would repeatly raped her. He would come into her room late in the night after her mom would pass out. And then the attacks would come out and out of nowhere and afterwards he would make out he hadn't done anything wrong because she was his daughter. Sarah started to notice changes in Tatiana. She wanted to badly to talk to someone about what was happening to her. But she felt so ashamed like it was her fault. That's when her whole attitude changed. And she began to see herself and he body in a different way. She had began  staying out late with friends smoking a little and made friends with benefits. Until she fell hard for Max.
