My story

I closed my eyes and tried to fight the tears. It was like a battle to keep them from coming. A battle I knew I couldn't win. I tried to cover my ears with my arms, while at the same time I held my knees close to my body. Thoughts rushed through my mind. Telling me I needed to stop this war between the two. A war that once in it, I wouldn't be able to back out of it. Which meant taking some of the hits upon my body as well as my mothers.

I could hear her scream and cry for help. The cries I knew that would go unanswered. I tried to block it all out and relax, but it was of no use. My body tremble

. . .

My heart ached from the site of her crying. I took a hold of it and rattled it to find out that it was still locked. I didn't know if I wanted to find out what was behind the locked doors. I could feel my whole existence as I knew if slowly leave me as we walked out the door and into the night. The men in uniforms invaded my house and approached me questioningly.

Tears rushed down the right side of my face and faded away into my hair that was pushed behind my ears. Now staring at the floor of the car I tried to push his hand away and cover my sides with my arm that rested on my knee.

I attempted to lift my head off the cool tile that I had collapsed on, but my body was so weak. I sat alone on the bench and stood alone in life. The sounds of the birds chirping outside filled my ears and blocked out the unimaginable words that once filled them. Words rushed out of my mouth telling him how sorry I was. I stared out into the distance where I peered at the stars and made a wish upon one. I walked beside the officer with my head lowered and watching the tiles on the floor fly by.

I attempted to ask the officer, but as I searched for words the doctor walked in. I could feel his strong hand reach for my side, so I inched to avoid him from touching it.
