- Amaree POV

My name is Amaree London Moore . I'm sixteen years old and I live over South Side of Chicago. I attend Leo High School. I live with my mother Vivian and my little sister Cameron. She is nine I was supposed to have a little brother, but he died.

My mother is a nurse, working at some facility. I forget what it's called. Being as though she is a single mother, she is always working which leaves me to take care of Cameron. Cameron, that is my world. She has disabilities. We found out when she was about three. She doesn't have physical disabilities, there more mental. She has Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy. It's a gray shading matter of the brain. So essentially, our brains are supposed to be white, but hers is gray. She has other disabilities but I can't remember them all, its so many. Each and everyday she just gets worse because her brain is steady turning to mush. Sometimes I sit and cry thinking "God why her"? She doesn't do anything to anybody. She's such a happy little kid. She laughs, talks, walks, plays, and get into shit just like any other kid.

I wouldn't trade my baby in for the world, and if anybody tried to hurt her, I'll kill their ass. Before we moved to Chicago, we lived in DC. That's where I grew up. When I first came here me and Cam met Austin coming from the corner store. Ever since then, Cam has loved Austin like he is her big brother.

"Hey baby!" my boyfriend Austin said walking into my house. "Hey." I said dryly. "I miss you" he said. I didn't tell him I missed him back because I knew how much of a hoe he was. He was always in other bitches faces and talking to other bitches. I hated it. But do you think I did anything about it. No. I just continued to let him do whatever he wanted. I don't even know why I take this shit. I know he cheating on me. But I don't want to start no shit since Cam is in her room watching Spongebob.

But I decided against my thought. "Austin, you cheating on me?" I asked curiously. "No yo, why the fuck you always want to ask me the same questions all the fucking time like we don't constantly talk about the same shit" he said annoyed. "Well clearly cause the fuck I wanted to know stupid ass! I wouldn't have asked if the fuck I didn't want to know" I said with an attitude. "Somebody told you I was cheating on you?" Austin asked me. "No, I just know how big of a man whore you are with all the ass and titties you have around you, you can't restrain yourself" I said. "See yo, here you go with the bullshit again, I'm gone yo" he said leaving slamming my door. "FUCK YOU" I yelled after him.

I didn't think he heard me because he stormed back into my house like he lived there too. As he did, all I saw was rage in his eyes. Im not gonna lie, I was a little scared. But did I show my fear? Hell no! " What nigga!?" I asked him. He politely choked me up against the refridgerator and said "Bitch, stop fucking playing with me. You know I will whoop your ass, even with Cameren in the next room".

Tears rolled down my face because I continuously let this boy beat my ass and I don't do anything about it.Im supposed to be strong for myself and for my baby sister in the next room. Im not supposed to show her how weak I am for a letting a bitch nigga like Austin put his fucking hands on me.

He finally let me go, he just left out. Before he left though, he made sure he said bye to Cam, because he knows how she feels about him coming and leaving without speaking. I really have to get out of this relationship but I dont know how to. I don't want to leave, but have to for the sake of my safety and my sister.
