I know it's been a while 😩😩 but I wanted make sure this was a good read for y'all final part coming soon 😉
That night Dave caught me and brought me back wasn't the end of my pain. Every day somebody would come in and beat on me and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. When I had came too after he beat me that night I was chained to the bed. And even if I could get out of that it didn't matter I was locked in the room too. The only time I was let out was to go to the bathroom once in the morning and once at night. And I barely got to eat, I only get fed when they feel like it and it's usually some trash.
I didn't have any more fight in me. Dave stripped it from me along with my dignity and clothes. I've been just in the same underwear from the day I got forced back into this shit hole. I'm not even sure how long I've been here. Days? Weeks?
What I do know is I've seen a lot of days come and go. I also don't know how much longer I can hold on.
"Look at you. You nasty bitch." I heard the disgust in the voice of the person who I thought was my friend at some point, but really she just always did what Dave wanted. He wanted me so he used her to get to me, "You stank and your ass don't look so pretty now do you?" Mowry said with a laugh. She was here to do what her and their other cousins where assigned to do beat on me everyday and bring me down as much as they could.
"This is for what you did a couple of days ago." She swung down on me and punched me in my side with her brass knuckles over and over again. To the point I threw up bile cause I had nothing else in my system, when I did some got on her and she was happy about that.
"Are you serious!" She shouted and then her brass knuckled covered fist came crashing down on my face where they were supposed to leave unmarked for whatever reason I heard Dave say that. She came down two more times before I was going out of consciousness again and this time I was going into a dream state. A dream to the first time I met Dave.

It was one the hottest days of the summer. Everybody from the kids to the mama was outside. The sun was beaming down on my back I had just got out of dance class and I was on a high. Originally my mom put me in the class to give me something to do instead of being of in the house all summer, but I ended up loving it. It's my peace.
The music, the way my body moves to it just puts me in a relax state. It takes me away from the world around me. I get so lost in the music. I always put my headphones on and find a track to listen to as I walk home from dance. It's usually something old school, today it was Slipping into darkness by War.
Even though I was worn out from class and the sun was on my ass I couldn't help but to move to the beat. I got so lost into the song I didn't hear someone calling my name.
"Hey Niya! Niya! Saniya!"
I felt someone grab my shoulder, making me whirl around. I saw it was my girl Mowry who I like to call Mo. She's in dance with me. She was hunched over breathing hard from trying to catch up to me.
"Damn girl! I've been trying to catch up to you for the last five minutes." Mo said out of breath
"My bad." I said with a shrug, "You know I get caught up in the music." I laughed as I took my headphones off. She just shook her head at me, "What's up?" I asked her.
"Nothing. What you getting ready to get into?"
"Nothing, just going to go home, probably watch some movies." I replied to her as I adjusted my dance bag over my shoulder. I love watching movies. I could do that all day. Watching movies and dancing run neck and neck for me as far as favorite hobbies go, so you can imagine this is like the perfect summer for me.
