Diamonds and Guns: Rise of Carter

Black Out.

I woke up and yawned. I saw Mama folding up my clothes. She had tears falling down her face. I sat up and wiped my eyes.

" Mama... Are ya okay?," I asked holding my arm. She nod her head and put my clothes in the dresser.

I got up and followed her to the laundry room. She stuffed the clothes in the washer and wiped her face,

" Madda dear haffi be something wrong! Ya neba yeye wata like dis!," I cried. She shook her head and pushed me out the way.

" Ihs nutting Cozzie mi wish ya leabe me be!," I scoffed and grabbed her arm,

" Anyting ah anyting! Dea is some ting wrong!," She screamed and cried then took her anger out on me, throwing the bleach bottles washing detergent and smacking and punching on me.

" Ih's all yar fault! If ya neba give ya madda ha'd time wif making ya self throw up! Mi huh lose Ih! Mi would still had me baby!," She screamed and cried.

I feel to the floor and cried.

" Madda wah ya talk bout oomen? Ya huh lose anything!," I cried she threw the bucket on me and left the laundry room. I didn't understand what was going on.

I went to the bathroom and got cleaned up. Then slid on some white pants. I put a sweater over my bruised arms and put my hair in two braids.

Then tied up my boots. I grabbed my bag and walked down the steps. I saw mama she looked at me. I wiped my tears and headed out side.

I didn't listen to my dad as he yelled my name,

" Cozzie! Do not take one more step.!," He yelled. I caught the bus to school. When I got there I just cried hard holding my arms

" Hey Cozzie! You okay?," I looked up at Allen. He took my hand and we walked to the hall way. I cried and began to tell him all about what happened. Allen wiped my tears and gave me some advice.

Then lunch got here. Allen ordered pizza for us. We sat in the hallway chowing down. I laughed as he poked my cheeks softly. He rubbed my cheek and kissed it.

I smiled a little. He did too and kisses my cheek again. I blushed and kissed his cheek. Then our lips touched. Allen held my hand,

" Did you not want me to kiss you?," He asked. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders then nod my head,

" I did.," He kissed me again and we began to eat pizza. The big steel doors opened. I looked up holding Allen's hand. Daddy caught eyes with me and he snatched me up.

I pulled away and cried. He snatched me up again.

" Daddy let me go! I don't wanna be with you!," I screamed. H grabbed me harder and pushed me out to the car. I snatched away and held onto Allen.

" You can't grab on Cozzie like a ragedy Ann doll!," He defended me. I saw the furious in his eyes. Daddy grabbed my hair and he forced me out to the car.

Security pushed Allen back. I cried. Daddy threw me in the car and he took me home. I sat in the back.

" Get in the house Cozzie!," He yelled. I shook my head. " Take yo' grown ass in the house!," I folded my arms. He scoffed then grabbed my jacket and pushed me into the house. I screamed and snatched from him.

He slammed the door and rushed up to me. I ran to my room. Daddy grabbed my foot and pulled me back down the steps. He got his belt off and began to scar my legs.

" Take of the damn jacket!," He yelled I pulled it off And he strikes me in the back a few times then grabbed me,

" What's gotten into you?!," He yelled. I covered my face and cried so hard. He grabbed my thighs. I hissed and cried. Daddy's eyes grew big.

" So you aren't a virgin?!," I gasped and nod my head

" I am daddy I swear!," I cried.

" Abagail!," Daddy hollered. Mama came out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands on her apron And sighed.

" Cozzie is not a virgin anymore!," I cried And shook my head,

" Daddy I am! I never had infinity! I'm waiting! Like mama said! Wait until I'm mariied.," Daddy shook his head and took me to the hospital.

We found out that I was still a virgin. I stared at daddy he grabbed me up,

" I will be watching you.," He growled. I wiped tears from my face and sniffed.

Sunday had arrived. Mama woke me up. I went for a quick shower than slid on my under clothes.

I pulled my stockings up and put on the black dress pants with a white button up. Mama came in wearing a blue dress. She had her brown legs showing. I loved the way she looked.

Her hair were in curls and she slid earrings in. I brushed my hair up onto a ponytail and listened to my mamas bangels slide up and down her wrist.

She left the bathroom and I heard soft talking. Daddy's voice boomed from their room.

" Abagail let's not start with this! I told you once and no is final!," I listened some more. Mama began to cry.

I went to their room and saw mama in tearzs. Her makeup slid of her face like fresh paint falling from the walls. She slid her feet inside of her heels.

" Brian the least you can do is try and tell everyone about what's going on! I mean... It is a church after all!," Daddy huffed And grabbed his cuff links. Then slid them in his wrist.

" No," He left the bedroom and went to the bathroom. I went to my room not understanding what the hell was going on. I rubbed my arm and sighed. After putting my hair in a high ponytail,

I slid earrings into my ears and out on my baby doll shoes. Mama came out the room and she wasn't dressed. The last thing I remembered before blacking out was mama screaming and collapsing to the floor.

The news was on and a building was gulfed in flames mama was shaking and daddy was speechless...
