Face Down
It was late at night, almost midnight, and there was a little girl sitting in her room. She had pink hair, which was almost red from not being brushed or washed. The room had barely anything in it; just a twin-sized bed with a blanket and that was all. There were no dressers, no clothes, and no toys.
Hey girl, you know you drive me crazy.
One look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around.
I see what's going down.
The only thing she truly had was a silver and blue crescent moon necklace. Her mother had given it to her just a few months before she died. She had gotten into a car accident and never made it to the hospital.
Cover up with makeup in the mirror,
tell yourself it's never gonna happen again.
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Now she only lived with her father. She wished she didn't. He would always drink and beat her. Her back was still sore from the last one she'd gotten.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end.
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
She was the only one in the house. Her father was probably out at a bar again. It was only when he was gone did she feel safe, but not safe enough to go to sleep.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect.
Every action in this world will bear a consequence.
If you wait around forever you will surely drown.
I see what's going down.
She heard loud talking and laughing outside so she looked out the window. She saw her father stumbling home with his buddies, obviously drunk. He looked up and caught her eye.
I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say your right again
Heed my lecture.
He came through the door with a loud slam and she became terrified. She heard him come up to the stairs loudly to her room. He paused at her door for just a second, and then slowly entered the room with and empty beer bottle in his hand. He looked at her and her eyes were wide with fear. He gave her a warm smile.

"Come here to daddy, Jasmine," he said.
Face down in the dirt she said "This doesn't hurt."
She said "I've finally had enough."
She slowly walked to him. He laid his hand upon her head very gently as though it was a kind and loving gesture. She knew better. With a wicked smile, he grabbed her hair and threw her against the wall with all his might. Tears started to well up in her eyes but she knew not to cry. It would only make matters worse.
Face down in the dirt she said "This doesn't hurt."
She said "I've finally had enough."
"Maybe that outta teach you a lesson. Stay away from the window and maybe next time you won't get hurt. Worthless brat. " He walked out of the room, slamming and locking the door behind him.
(One day she will tell you that she has had enough.)
It's coming 'round again.
After he had left, she crawled up on the bed, curled into a ball, and started to silently cry to herself.

While she cried, she wished for many things. She wished she didn't live there. She wished mommy was still alive. But most of all, she wished her daddy loved her again.
She remembered the time when her daddy had loved her, before her mommy had died. Back then he didn't use to drink so much, and he never even thought of hitting her.

As she started to fall asleep, she wished for something else. She wished her daddy would die. Her mother had always told her she should never wish someone dead.
Right before she fell unconscious, she whispered to herself, " I wish daddy was dead." Little did she know that there was someone, or something in the room besides herself.
Face down in the dirt she said "This doesn't hurt."
She said "I've finally had enough."
"So you wish it, sweet child," the thing whispered.
This is the end of the first chapter. Sorry for the child abuse part, I promise it gets better as it goes. BTW Jasmine is about at this piont in time. Please review.
