Once and Two again

This story starts out with two stories three different people. Each story lies beneath another…..

Sasha

For my 13th birthday, instead of shoes, cloth, money I got mail. But it was a letter from my mum. You'd think I'd be happy, but I'm not. She left our family for about 5 other men. Or so I was told. My dad took me into our van and we drove away. I couldn't help but start crying. I wanted to see her but I also didn't.

"This is going to be a great trip, and at least try to have fun" my father said.

"How could I, this is a huge waste of time. Remember Maya is having her birthday party this week but NOOO im traveling 2,000 miles to some fucked up town in Georgia just to see some slut that you made a mistake of having a child with."

There was a strange silence in the car. I was startled when his hand wiped across my cheek. I guess I had it coming. She was my mother after all. I don't even remember clearly what happened. It happened on a dark day, it was raining. I remember this because daddy was pulling me by my arm to a rusty mini-van. I remember my mum standing there surrounded by 2 other figures. Someone was calling my name.

~SASHA~

Over and over again I hear my name, until the door slammed and I could no longer hear them. After about 20 minutes later I fell asleep. I dreamt of a woman. She had her arms out. I reached out but nothing happened. I woke up to the sound of my father's voice.

"We're here" he said halfway out the car.

"Where are we?"

"The hotel"

"You never said anything about a hotel"

"Well now you know"
"I want to get this FUCKING trip over and done with"

It was to my surprise that he didn't slap me. He just walked away. I followed him in silence. It was your average hotel. There was a ton of kids my age and cute boys so I guess that was the only good part about this trip. We were placed in room 7-D. The moment we stepped in I was happy. The biggest flat-screen T.V I've ever seen in my life, a kitchen with an electric stove and oven, two door refrigerator and two sinks. I had a single bedroom with a clear view of the boys changing room. Daddy called me out and said he is stepping out for a few minutes and I was free to explore the hotel.

And like any other boy crazy girl I was happy when he said those words. So I gave him his hug and kiss good-bye and he left. 6 minutes later I was out the door in my bathing-suit and to the pool.

When I arrived at the pool I was happy when some kids my age were there. I had my eyes on one of the boys. He was alone and kinda shy. He was squished into the corner. So I jumped in and swam to him. He was startled when I greeted him.

"Hi, my name is Sara, and yours?"

"Um… hi….m…m…m…y….n…ame ….i…s …..um…A…A…..A…A….A….Alex."
"Well nice to meet you Alex!"

When I inched closer to him he backed away. He wouldn't look me in the eyes and he was blushing the whole time. It was so cute. I followed his eyes and saw what he was staring at. I looked down and saw that there was a huge hole in the left Brest area. I jumped up and noticed so did he. The rest of our conversation was awkward because everything from my chin was under water. When it was midnight we headed back to our hotel rooms. We stood out in the hallway for about an hour just talking. So we said out Good-Bye's and he vanished into his room. I walked to 7-D and tried to go inside. It never accord to me that you needed a card to get inside your room. Dad took with him. I was dripping wet and stranded in an air-condidtoned hallway. So when the maid came around she let me in. Dad wasn't there. Its 4:30am and I just hoping that nothing happened to him. At 9:23am I waken up by the sound of laughing. I jumped out of bed. It was dad. He wasn't walking steady and he was pale.

"Hey Da…daddy" I said

He turned. It was like he didn't know me.

"Daddy?"

"GET AWAY FROM ME ALEX, NOWWWWWW DADDY IS WORKING, WORRRRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!"

"Who is Al…al…al..ex?"

"YOU STUPID LITTLE BOY, Y..YOU ALWAYS TOOK AFTER YOUR MOTHER YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH!"

I stepped closer to him. For once, I was scared of my father. The closer I got the more he inched away.

I get it…..

Dad is drunk.

I got angry. Why. That's the reason mom left. She developed a habit. I snached a brow bag from his left pocket and shouted:

"THIS IS WHAT YOU DO AT NIGHT HUH, YOU REALLY ARE A DUMB ASS. YOU COMING HOME DRUNK ISNT GONA HELP YOU."

"SHUT UP ALEX, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT!"

This time I inched back. He got closer to me.

"Please dad, get back"

The closer he got the higher he raised the empty bottle in his hand. The only thing I could think of is my blood on the bottle. My dad in jail.

~scream~

~scream~
~scream~
~scream~

~He's not himself~

~defend~

"STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP"

I screamed as loud as I could.

Fear

Sadness

Before he could hurt me the security people came and taimed father.

At the station they did a test on him. Atually several. One to see if he was crazy and one to see if he was drunk.

They thought he was crazy because before leaving the hotel, he kept screaming

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN FATHER ALEX, YOU WILL FOR THIS!"

I followed them out. I saw a line of people just stairing I fear. All except Alex he looked scrared.

I was driven back to the hotel. I was alone. Alex came over. We talked for a long time. So about 2 hours later he herd several knoks on the door. When I opened it was a girl. She was holding a gift-basket. She charged in.
