Life, interrupted

(Young Dejanay)

Flashback

"DEJANAY Come here likkle gyal!", yelled a aggravated old woman as the feeble little girl, no older than 7, hiding behind the door of her small room. Slowly she emerges from the door to meet the woman, fear evident in her eyes. "y y yes mama" she stuttered, "why yuh teacha call an she yuh fight tiday" the woman asked with authority, after ten seconds of holding her head down and gathering her thoughts the little girl finally spoke up "Shanice she mi madda a wah whore an mi aguh tun on wen mi get big"

(Translation: Shanice said that my mother was a whore and I'll be just like her when I get older) she muttered, scared of what will happen next. However this made the woman silent for a minute has she thought about how this must have made the little girl, who has know remembrance of her mother, she slowly stoops down to the girl level and lifts her chin so she could look directly in her eyes, "Yuh nuffi listen to dem kine a people dem inuh Dj, dem nuh wish nuh good pon nobadi dats why dem aguh stay right weh dem deh till dem dead, u ave a bright future infront a yuh, memba dat"

(Translation: You shouldn't listen to those people Dj, they hate everybody. They will forever be that way until they die. You have a bright future ahead, never forget that.)

Standing to her feet she took the little girls hand and leads her to her room and closing the door. Then saying " your Mother was never a drug nor a whore she was a girl who lived under terrible circumstances, always remember that Dj. She would die to see you now". the woman whispered to the girl, who held a face of confusion, "but mommy dead" she said a bit to loud. "shhh Dj, what you don't know won't hurt you" she shrieked before pulling her door and leading Dj to her room, leaving her there in a state of confusion, as she thought deeply she could here a faint beeping sound. she slowly got up to look where is was coming from, it got louder and louder as she search more frantically for the source of the sound moving everything in her way to find it. As it got unbearably loud she started screaming loudly, closing her eyes to block out the sound as her head started bounding so did the beeping.

Present

I could now here faint sounds of panic around her as she tried to open her eyes to no avail. And the beeping sound making her restless, trying one last time she finally opened her eyes, closing it almost immediately due to the bright light. "Somebody call Mr. Castillo, tell him she is up", by now I could perfectly here what was happening around me. "wah di raas happen to mi" I said groggily to no one particularly, I am confused to say the least. Did I get into an accident, because it surely felt like it. I fully opened my eyes and see that I was actually in a room, scratch that, fricken presidential suit. Now I'm fully confuse.
