"Daddy please stop you're hurting her I said as the tears came flowing down my face. She's suffocating daddy please. " I sobbed as I saw my dad take away my mother's finally breath.
"This is what she deserves to lay their cold." He yelled closing the bedroom door.
I ran over to her trying to do CPR but it was too late no pulse just a cold lifeless body of a women I loved. The only thing I had left.
I screamed for help up and down the street but nobody stopped and listened to me a small 7 year old girl. "My daddy killed my mommy!" I yelled and nobody would listen. I am just a whistle in the wind. 'Please somebody help my daddy killed my mommy and she's on the floor in the bathroom. Help please..."
I woke up tears soaking my pillow. This happened every 13th of November the anniversary of her murder. I kissed the picture of me and my mother on the shoe box next to my bed. I walked over to the bathroom looking in my "father's" or as I like to say Terry's room to see if he was there or if he was gone. Sometimes he's here other times he is God knows where. Today he was away thankfully.
I went to the bathroom brushing my teeth and washing my face carefully going around the scratches and bruises that still need to heal. I took a quick shower. After getting out of the shower I went through my bags of clothes. I try to wear long sleeves and pants to make sure I covered by scratched arms and legs so nobody could see. I also out on makeup which I have gotten pretty good at hiding my scars and bruises. I have to cover up I can't let anyone's help and plus I'm almost to my goal for my dream house. I chose to go with a simple white long sleeve and black jeans with some purple Jordan's.

I took my phone off the charger and went down stairs. I looked in the cabinet. Empty. Refrigerator. Empty. And the pantry. Empty. Ever since the incident happened I've been left to fend for myself. So every morning I go to the corner store that my mom's old friend owns. On my way I walked past about 5 men way to old to be catcalling a 17 year old, but I don't have time for their bullshit. I just rolled my eyes and kept walking to the store. I greeted Mr. Wilson he's basically like an uncle. I've been coming here since I was 9 and he knows about my situation. He has tried calling the police, but I stop him every time to escape my own murder.
"If you ever tell anyone especially the police about what goes on in this house or what has happened I will choke you until you turn purple. I will leave you gasping for life as you take your final breaths alone on the same floor you bitch mom died on." He barked as he squeezed my neck and I nodded my head because I know better than to reply.
"Hey Mr. Wilson how's everything?" I asked as I picked out some hot fries, Arizona iced tea, granola bar, and a hot dog
"Good what about you Dessy." He asked bending down to get something I assume
"Still grinding and working to get my own apartment away from Terry only $578 away." I said putting my items on the counter
"I'm so proud of you Destiny and I know you want to make it out on your own but you are always welcome live with me and Charlene." He said like he did everyday
"I know, but I'm so close to getting it on my own I can feel it." I replied laughing
"Here Destiny just count it as an early graduation present." Mr Wilson said handing me a lot of my favorite snacks and 10 stacks in cash each with $1000.
"Mr.Wilson you know I can't accept this my dad will know I told and..." I said being cut off
" Please Destiny just pick it up after school it will help me sleep at night knowing you are in a safe home don't think of it as a hand out it's a present." Mr Wilson said with pleading eyes
"I will think about it okay, but I have to go to school or I'll be late." I said putting the snacks I picked out in my bag and running to school. ________________________________ Roosevelt Highschool
I ran into school with 5 minutes left to spare I'm pretty good at running I've noticed. I went to my locker getting my binders and books I needed placing them in my bag. Nobody at school knows about my life at home most only know my mom died by "suicide" that's what Terry said happened.
I began walking to my class on the 3rd floor and I ran into my cousin/best friend Ariel she is my mother's sister's daughter. I don't usually speak to any family on my dad's side they never liked me they think I'm depressed and annoying. Anyway we hugged and talked about what's been happening I informed her about the gift I was given and about my plan to leave as soon as possible. Then the just like that the bell rang.
