Chapter 3: Flashbacks

"I was around 12 years old when he died. This particular night mama had left to go somewhere with her friend. Daddy and I were home. He kept looking over his shoulder. I was confused. 'Dad?' I said 'KylaBug go to your room baby girl' he was looking out the window. 'But daddy--' he walked to me 'baby go whatever you hear dont come down those stairs!!" "yes sir!' he hugged me and kissed my forehead 'kylabug?' I turned to him 'yes?' "I love you baby' 'I love you too daddy so much' I went to my room upstairs and I heard a knock on the door. I heard a guy downstairs.Then I heard daddy yelling and screaming. Then I heard a gun I dropped to the floor and held myself crying scared. After that it was completely quiet. I ran down the stairs and I stopped my father was there in his own blood. I called 911 and they came and they took him away I was with mother Walters, my mom showed up she took me back home. With daddy gone she could beat me all the time and that was what happened. When school started that year I wore turtlenecks... I had hand prints around my neck and scratches. Caleb.. He saw my face one day. I wore make up mama.. I had bruises and the day Caleb saw me I had a hand print showing through the make up. He wanted to tell you but I didnt let him.

By the time I finished talking Mama Flo was in tears. "Your mother knew mama wanted you... That day she say saw me at the college she knew who I was. She was so hostile then when you and I became close she really did flip. When you came to me that night bloodied and bruised I was ready to kill Patricia" She grabbed my hand. "Let me tell you what happened that night after you left. After we finished cleaning up blood, Ms. Williams took me to the side. 'Florence who is that girl and why do you care so much about her?' I looked at her. 'She is my niece on my stepfather's side.' when I said that she nodded. I vowed to find you and take you from Patricia no matter what it took. You were my child whether or not you came from me. Patricia showed up to the college three days later. She was looking for me I was around the corner when Toya came to me. 'Kyla's mama is here' I was about to head out on the floor. I stood up and walked out. "Florence?" she said looking at me. She had blood on her hands. I knew it was yours. 'Patricia what are you doing here?" 'stay away from Kyla!' I looked at her my shoulders went back. "As long as I am black I will never leave my baby!!" Patricia looked at me and she looked angry. "She is my daughter I am her mother" I looked at her with a straight face and said 'I watched a dog give birth but that doesn't it a mother!" Now im looking at you and I am going to file for custody."

I looked at her and she knew there was something I wanted to say. "What?" I sighed "mama this happened two months ago I came home right after I went to the school and she took me back. She beat me the whole way home. I wanted to scream but I was scared. So on the week I didn't go to school I was in the hospital.. Trying to recover from the pain the broken ribs and arm. Mother Walters wanted to see me but she wasn't allowed to. For the next two weeks I moved slow my arm in a sling. My mind in a daze and waiting for whatever came next when I got home. She would have guys waiting for me. I didn't know what to expect. The last two months were the worst.

SORRY ITS SHORT GUYS THE NEXT ONE WILL BE LONGER!!
