sirens here,sirens there, sirens blaring everywhere I hold my little brother close to me and sing to him while mom and daddy fight vigorously they scream and throw things and cuss and yell this home I live in is more like hell my brother cries and I try to be strong but I know that so many things have gone wrong mommy drinks and daddy screams and I hold my brother while we escape through our dreams a knock on the front door and my mom runs to me with tears in her eyes remember I love you no matter what baby mommy cries and daddy tells lies,the officer puts mom in handcuffs,while daddy smiles,hide it? he doesn't even try I run after her yelling mommy don't go,I'm sorry I'll be better I promise,but she can't get to me because of the cuffs and the lies that started all of this 1x,2x,3x,4x the cuffs got tighter the fights got louder 5x,6x,7x,8x I yell at the cop to let my mommy go but he doesn't care none of his humanity will show as I sit here holding my brother I sing to him hush

"Breathing. Something I've always known how to do, yet sometimes it seems impossible. I sat in the passenger seat of a red convertible Mustang. The car belonged to my... would you call him my owner? I sat with my knees pulled up to my chest, I put my hand on the window of the car, wiping away some of the fog. My father and the guy who had just bought me, shook hands, finalizing the arrangement, as they stood on our front porch... or could you even call it that? The rain came down making it hard to see. Yes, breathing. Everyone knows how to do it, but it's normal for someone to forget how to, right? Right now, I felt as if my lungs had been ripped from my chest... or was that just my heart? My buyer ran from the porch, covering his head with his jacket. He stepped into his Mustang, and pulled it into reverse. Then with a simple movement, he turned the vehicle around and headed down the drive. I watched as my whole world slipped away." -Can't Buy Me Love *************************************** They were best friends, he was rich, she lived in a trailer. He moved away when she was 13 and then he moves back when she's 17. All her dad ever cared about was money, so for most of her life her dad had told her he was gonna sell her to a rich man, as soon as she was 18. But she wants nothing more than to be with her childhood love. Will he save her from her fate or will she get sold off to some loaded obnoxious stranger? She has secrets, he has secrets, a shadow lurks in the darkness watching her... can love even grow from that? ****** *Some mature content: Abuse and mature language*
