"I wish I never met you. You make me sick,"
Robert sneered.
"Right back at 'cha, you dirty bastard,"
Monique glared, " It's your fault we're in this mess. All you had to do was keep your dick in your pants! But no, you fuck anythi-"
Robert jumped up from his desk, slapping Monique against the wall and punching her in her stomach where he knew she wouldn't bruise.
"Don't you ever disrespect me like that you two-dollar crack whore! You should be thanking me for taking you and your broke ass kids in," He hit her harder each time he spoke.
" Lying ass, money-hungry bitch," He spat.
" I love you, i'm sorry, please don't leave me," Monique pleaded in between sniffles.
Robert spit on her and made his way downstairs, exiting the 4-bedroom 3-bathroom home.
Josyiah sat in her room, rocking herself in fetal position in her closet. She was trying to avoid having a panic attack.
She pondered calling her sister, but she knew that would be of no use. She hadn't heard from her since she left for college last year.
She knew that her parents would be in her room later to punish her.
They punished her everytime her father beat her mother.
Her mother would enter the room first, high as a kite, and blame her for her father's wrongdoing.
"It's your fault," She would tell her, "He wouldn't hit me if you had never happened. If you would just go away I could be happy.
A few minutes later her father would enter and have his way with her. Her mother would just watch and laugh. Sometimes he bought friends and sometimes he didn't. Sometimes they had condoms and sometimes they didn't.
"You're such a whore," They would tell her,"Do you like it whore? I love you whore."
"Love," Josyiah thought to herself, " If this is love then I don't ever want to love."
"I wish someone would rescue me. A Prince Charming like in the movies, but the black version," Josyiah chuckled to herself, " I sound dumb. My situation is hopeless."
Josyiah was pulled from her thoughts when a door slammed.
She heard the voices of 3 men and the next thing she knew, she blacked out.
