Danielle~

We sat in the living room watching TV as we heard a car pull into the driveway I looked to my mother in the kitchen as I saw the fear in her eyes

''Ven Aqui Danielle'' (come here Danielle)

"Yes mama''

''Go hide in your room until your dad leaves and make sure you lock the door ok Mija?"

"Yes mama what about Juan and Gabriella"

 "They're already in their hurry," she said but I was so stubborn I just hid behind the couch which ended up being the worst mistake of my life...

"M-MARIA," he said slurring his words because he was drunk

"Y-yes," my mother said stuttering

 "Where's my food huh you too dumb to make a meal huh," he said grabbing her throat I couldn't stand to see my mother like that yea my father beats us too but my mother gets the worst

 I ran from behind the couch to my dad ''GET OFF OF HER" I said with tears welling up he slapped me on the floor picked me up and dragged me into his room he left me In there then he put me on his lap and hit me with the belt until my skin bled he beat me so bad that night I had three fractured ribs 

"Please I'm sorry!" I screamed he put me in a chokehold and punched me in my side until I spat up blood

 I can't believe what just happened what he did hurt me so bad I stepped out the shower and put my undergarments on I was crying thinking of last night but I quickly wiped my tears away when I heard my little sister call me

"Dan Dan are you okay," she said pointing to my bruises

 "Yeah Gi I'll be ok"

 "I heard you screaming what happened" a tear fell and I shook my head no and he pulled me into a hug

"Why you crying sissy" she hugged me too and we stayed like that until my mom came in our room I flinched at the sound of the door-busting open I heard the house door close he left my mom sat beside me I looked up at her and the bruises everywhere

 "I'm so sorry I heard you screaming for me Mija," she said tearing up "And I couldn't save you," she said crying I cried with her we hurried and pack our stuff my mom had a brown bag full of money I think she was saving up for this day we took the van and drove to San Antonio Texas we were in Houston where most of my family is well at least we'll be safe now I hope.....
