has to stop
“SHAYYLLA” my mom yelped, my heart skipped beat at her frantic voice. “ yes mam?” “why them damn dishes aint done girl?” “because ma you told to something else instead of the dishes.” I was shaking, you could here my teeth rattling like a rattle snake. My name is shayla, but you can call me shae; i live with my drug addicted mother. My dad’s not around and never have been. I’ve been living in this under this forsaken roof all 17 years of my life. Being abused by my own mother because i look like my father, yeah i know messed up right? Well i don’t have much longer until i can get out on my own, 6 more months and im out of this hell hole. My first day of senior year’s tomorrow, im terrified and unknown at that school, so everyone seems to hate me, i know it’s going to be rough. First roamed around, you could literally hear my heart pound through my chest. I already have gotten laughed and snickers from the popular girls, but i didn’t care i was used to it. But am i really that ugly? Or are they jealous? Of what ? i have no idea. I managed to meet this cute boy named tyrone, he was about 6 foot 5, light skin, and a head full of long dreads just how i like them. He’s cute in all but there's no way in hell he’ll talk to me? But i couldn’t get him out of my mind for some reason. Sometimes i even see him look at me and smile, but i think it’s my imagination, im as shy as a turtle that will not come from under its shell. i noticed him looking again, but this time it looked as if he was walking my way. I attempted to get up and walk away but i was cornered and attached to him like two metals, my heart went to racing again you could hear my heart through my shirt. “Yo wassup ma?” excuse me? I bluntly announced, “ oh my bad excuse me miss how you doing on this fine day?” i could feel my adrenaline rushing, fingers sweating, and armpits getting moist, i ran off as quick as a cheetah and left him dumbfounded. Weeks fly by, me and tyrone are actually a couple now, but something just doesn't feel right. He can be as cold as ice sometimes and i don’t like it. “SHAYLLA GET IN HERE NOW.” he ordered i went in as fast as i could without wasting any second. Ye-yes baby? I replied , WHY THEM DAMN DISHES NOT DONE HUH? His voice reminded me of someone, someone so close to me as a rose to a thorn, but i couldn’t make out the person. It finally came to me, MOM. Tyrone gives me a frightening, yet skimming, look and says go look in the bedroom i have a suprise. I do as told and go down the hallway. As i open the door i walk in to see my mother naked on his bed. I was furious, my blood was boiling, i took the glock out his drawer and ended her’s and tyrone’s lifes.
