Chapter 5 Pain

Sitting at my desk, remembering what Bam did to me.

I was ironing clothes that night.

When Bam came to where I was and took the iron from me, she pressed her hand and screamed.

My parents ran out of there and pushed away from Bam.

They only believed what Bam said.

And never let me defend myself.

I was trying to help.

I don't know why Leah hates me this much.

I....I was trying to help out and she put the hot on my hand.

Dad, I didn't before I could finish what I was saying.

He slapped me.

I didn't do it. Dad, I said.

"If you had manners, you wouldn't have talked back to me".

I'm going to teach you a lesson you will never forget.

Dad, I did nothing wrong to Bam, she did that to herself Why can't you believe me?

My dad gave me a hot slap, Bam can't hurt herself, I saw you push her, You want to kill her.

My dad took the hot iron and placed it on my back I screamed, I was in a lot of pain but they ignored me.

I stood there in pain, crying, looking at my parents taking Bam to the hospital while I was bleeding.

Bam smiled at me.

A smile that says "I win" I was just standing there couldn't do anything.

I took myself to the hospital.

My dad put Bam in an elite school and put me in a federal high school, I worked to buy my school books, clothes, I never had a nice room for myself, my room was stolen by Bam and I was left to stay in the basement, I slept on the floor till I finished high school.

Bam went to one of the best high schools abroad.

While I went to a federal high school, I worked two shifts, just to get the basic school needs, I brought my first phone and laptop by myself with no one by my side. I was living as if I didn't have parents.

It hurt a lot that Bam gets to live a good life even if she is not their real daughter. At some point, I began to envy her because she always looks nice.

One day, I had had enough and I stood up for myself and I said to him" You stopped being my father the day you brought her in".

My uncle Ace was around and my dad said, Do you hear what she just said to me.

My dad stood up to his feet," And gave me a thunderous slap that landed me on the floor.

My uncle shouted at him, Why would you hit her like that, How dare you? Is it the only way to punish her?

"She deserved it," Bam said.

And started laughing.

I was almost blinded with anger.

I stood up, I took some plates and I threw them at him.

My dad's and uncle's clothes were stained, and I gave them a smirk.

You little.... My dad tried to hit me and I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to my room in the basement and locked it.

My dad ran after me.

You are such a horrible daughter. I regret having you? What type of daughter does this to his father, Thank God I have Bam. He said.

I can't believe I have you as a daughter, he spat at my door and left.

I rolled my eyes

I can't believe I just did that to my dad, Am I becoming a bad child?

But I was so satisfied seeing him dirty like that but my heart sank seeing my uncle dirty like that, I have to apologize to him, he is the only one who supports and treats me right.

I crossed my hands immediately after the cold assaulted me, I was so cold that I had to find my clothes to cover myself.

I don't regret what I did today.

I refuse to be intimidated by my father but I couldn't help but be sad at the same time.

I wish my family were different.

I wish my life were different.

And tears began to drop from my eyes.

I sniffed when my feet started to hurt.

Well.

When will my life ever go my way?....

I was taken out of my thoughts by Lucy.

What are you thinking? Lucy asked.

Nothing, I said.

I hope is not about you getting fired?

I'm not thinking about that.

I'm just wondering how I will be working knowing fully well that I just slept with my boss.

Why are you still thinking about this?

He must be lucky because we both know you are not the type of person who sleeps around.
