Broken

Hard times

Kathryn looked at josh in disbelief of what he just did. Tears filled her eyes. "Josh....I'm so sorry." Kathryn said sobbing. "You don't dare yell or disrespect me again! Do you understand you little bitch!" Yelled josh. "Y..yes." Kathryn said. Kathryn got up and went to the baby's room. Mia cried and cried and cried, Which only made josh more angry. "Please Mia, stop crying" Kathryn said. Josh came fast to Mia's room. "Put the baby down, and get into the bed room." Josh said quickly. Kathryn put Mia down and went into the bedroom not knowing what was going to happen next. "Josh?" She asked. "Kathryn, I'm so sorry, I love you so much." He said sadly. "I love you too. But Why did you hit me?" She asked. "I was angry. But you know i didn't mean it. Right?" He asked. "Yes. Promise me it won't happen again? I won't say here if it continues." She said. "It won't happen again." Josh said. Josh stepped closer to her and began kissing her. He began getting rough. "Josh your hurting me." Kathryn said. "Shhh. Just relax honey." He said softly. She was so scared, so she let him continue. A few years had passed and Josh had been acting nice after that night and Mia was growing up fast. She was 3 now, blonde hair and green eyes. Josh had lost his kid recently and Kathryn was nervous where he was spending his time at. Some nights he was gone all night and didn't show up until the next morning. One night he came home, high and drunk. She saw marks on his arm that looked like he had been doing drugs. She knew what to do at this point. She quietly ran into Mia's room and picked her up out of her bed and took her into her bedroom and locked the door. The next thing she knew was josh toughing on the door. He busted the door and ran at Mia. "It's your fault we suffer! It's all your fault!" Josh yelled at Mia. "Stop it josh! She's a child!" Yelled Kathryn running to Mia who was sobbing not knowing what was happening. Josh ran over to Kathryn and pushed her out of the way and threw Mia up against the wall. Kathryn thought her little girl was gone at that moment. Mia, whose body had felt shattered, stared at them tears flowing out of her eyes. "J...Jo...josh....what have you done?" Kathryn said shocked. "I did what she deserved! You little fuckers are gonna obey me! I don't care how young she is!" Kathryn didn't even go over to her little girl who almost nearly died. She was only thinking of herself. "I..I'm going to go make dinner now. Is that okay?" She asked. Acting as if nothing had happened. "Go, now, she (pointing at Mia) gets nothing." He said heartless. Kathryn walked out of the room and began cooking dinner. Mia sat there, thinking what had she done to deserve this? Was she being a bad girl? She didn't know why her mommy and daddy hated her so much.
