She open her eyes and the place was very dark she had realized that she must have slept in this position in her home for a long time. She rubbed her eyes as she could feel them swollen from her break down earlier. She could feel the pain behind her eyes n she suddenly wished she didn't cry so much...
She stand up to take her leave when she was dragged by her mother's voice.
" Kim!!! Kim!!!" She shouted with so much authority she shivered from the voice. She close her eyes for a second because she knew what might be the result of her calling her like that.
Before she could clear her thoughts her mom was right in front of her with fire in her eyes. She knew what was coming next and before she could think how to escape a hand sting her cheeks. Tears fell immediately.
" Why did you destroy your sisters stuff, why did you throw away her stuff, her jewellery why, why are you so evil?"
She couldn't even defend herself, because she knew what she had done and she is not saddened by it she felt accomplish.
Earlier that day she decided to throw away your sister's belongings, destroying photos and anything that belongs to her....
She felt so much joy destroying them, but a sudden pain stabbed her right in the heart when she tore the first picture and she remembered vividly the day the picture was taken, and the fact that a single picture with her is not in the house. It hurts like hell and she thought about it. A pain threaten to flow but she bit it away fast....
She smile as she tore every picture. She is going to torture them for treating her less she thought to herself. She just needs love, attention, care, and it's as if they are blind. She need to feel loved and welcomed, not because she is BLACK!!!!! She spat in her mind.
She was dragged from her memory when her mom started to pull her by her shirt she was trying to escape but it wasn't working she was way stronger than her. I mean she is just seven. She stopped every effort of escape when she realized it wasn't happening. She was dragged to look at the damage she has caused and she had to admit a smirk did brush the edge of her mouth. And she laughed inside.
" Kim, you evil what have your sister ever done to you, it's your smaller sister you must protect her, instead you destroying her stuff" she spat angrily. Kim shaked at her voice but decide not to cry in front of her.
She can't break down in tears after doing this she have to remain strong and firm regardless.
Her mother's voice hit the wall as she decided not to answer anything, she decide not to speak, she decide to keep silent. As speaking will only make matters worst.
She hold her head down and she could hear her mom shouting calling her siblings to look what she had done. She stood still just the same, no expression, no remorse.
If she was to share an emotion it would have been anger, angry at the fact that she didn't even realized that she did all of this because she was hurting.
She was hurting because they treated her like she meant not even a penny to anyone, treat her like the worst person there is, and that caused alot of anger inside her. She despise them, everyone of them for making her feel low in her self. For making her feel as if her life doesn't matter.
Her elder sibling was the first to reach the scene.
She was 14, she was really a gem. Acted so innocent and shy. They shared the same birthday but they are nothing alike....
Kim was always the bold person, the one that would talk, speak up. While Catherine is always the type to hide things and act all perfect.
And it hurts her sooo much because there is always some comparison her mother created between them.
She loved her sister regardless but their mother make it so hard for them, rather Kim to feel as if there is favouritism.
She narrowed her eyes against Catherine looking at her in disgust. She was disgust too, disgust of them treating her like trash.
" Mommy, what is happening here," Catherine asked looking at Kim in the most ill manner.
" Are you blind, this little scum destroyed all your sister's stuff because of jealousy" she stated angrier than before.
" So mommy what are you waiting on to beat her, she is wicked!!!, She must pay" she turned facing Kim now with her fingers so close to her face pointing " you are ruthless, she is still a baby you're a big girl grow up"
Kim stood still as anger is now infiltrating her mind. Steam was coming from her ears now and the hatred had increased.
So what if she is a damn baby, I deserve love too, I deserve affection, I deserve peace, I deserve equality.....
She was getting angrier by the minute by their words and presence as well. She just wanted to go back home.
By now her two brothers joined and they were laughing at her sooo hard and mocking her...
It was five of them that she had at that time. Catherine the eldest, Romario, Kalil, herself and that baby, oh Paris......
She suddenly then wonder if they called her Paris because she was pretty and BROWN.
That thought hit her.
Her mom seemed to get tired of holding her in one position as she felt the grip on her clothes loosen. She was glad because she was getting really bored of this and them.
" You are wicked and I can make you a promise that you have to pay for everything you've destroyed" she said irritated and walked away to her room.
Her siblings left with her as well and she was delighted. She was tired of them in her space, invading her oxygen flow.
She closed her eyes quickly, then looked at the damaged done and smiled...
She quickly crawled into her home her only safe spot.
