Nina pov
"I have an apartment near by if you ever want to talk. Im sorry for leaving you and I want us to be like we used to be...Before I ran away." My brothers eyes started to fill with tears. I could tell he ment what he said, but I refused to forgive him.
"Just leave." I said angrier then I felt.
"Im sorry I couldnt be a better brother." He left and closed the door behind him leaving a trail of tears on the floor.
I fall face first on my bed. Theres a saddness within me. Its like my heart has become a blackhole, swallowing every feeling that ever made me happy. I dont cry. Ive cried to much because of this. I dont remember wanting to fall asleep, but my eyelids start to become heavy and eventaully they shut.
(Ninas dream)
I kneel next to my mothers bed and grip her pale hand. She tries to lean down and hug me but stops halfway, wincing in pain. I lean into her, hugging her as gently as possible."I love you Nina" she wispers in my ear. A tear slips down my face.
"Love you too." shes so sick. Everyday I pray she will recover and everyday she somehow got a little worse.
"Nina! Get over here now!" a voice calls to me from the other side of the door. I swiftly kiss my mother on the forehead and rush to the door, thinking its an emergency. The room I walk into is disgusting. The room only had one tv and a busted up recliner. The little carpet visible was stained with unknown substances. The rest of the floor were piles of trash, like food wrappers, crumppled unpaid bills, and dirty clothes. the smell in the room is so putrid, I almost gag. "yeah?" I say.
"Get me a soda" My father says from his recliner. I stare at him in disbelief."MOVE!" He shouts.
"No." I say plainly. " Get it your self, Im not your slave." I cant belive i just said that! and nieither can my father. He rises from his chair and starts to unbuckle his belt. I try to open the door but its locked. He traps me in a corner and pushes me with his huge stomach.
"It seems someone has a mouth on them." He spits, while he points his thick finger right in my face."Ive been to easy on you." Im frozen with fear not knowing what to do. He raises his arm up and slams the belt down on my shoulder. A burning pain erupts. I clutch my shoulder and scream. My mother limps through the doors shouting at my father.
He just raises his belt again and swings down on her and I scream "Leave her alone!" and jump in the middle as the belt is about to hit my mothers hip.
I wake up in a cold sweat. Tears were streaming down my face. I look at the clock. 1:40 am. I groan and roll out of bed. I almost stumble down the stairs as I make my way to the tunnels. I sit and dangle my feet over the edge of the cliff with the small narrow beam in the midddle. My head leans against the wall and I just think. I pray I will never have to see my father again, but I dont think it will help. My prayers were never answered.
