Chapter 1
" khaila what did I tell you about coloring on my walls ” khaila mom throws the crayons in the bucket and storms downstairs throwing them in the trash can. ” mommy I’m sorry ” khalias little lip trembled and tears unleashed and poured down her face. ” no, no, no, baby I’m sorry” she lowers herself down to khailas level
" Afterschool we can buy more crayons and more coloring books ”
Khaila’s smile suddenly disappears ” No ” khaila stood up walking away from her mother ” khai get over here now, you need to go to school to learn ” today khai wasn’t having it. At this age, a kid with anger issues isn’t the best thing ever her mom sighs as she walked to the top cabinet and pulling out her alcoholic drinks. She pours it into her glass and drowned in the hot liquid that poured down her throat. “but mommy I’m already smart and I already know my ABCs and how to count ” khais mom peered down at the khaila was taller than an average kid her age. She was only three when her mom noticed her getting taller and taller by each day.
Her mother leaned forward in her chair setting the glass down ” hey, khai ” when her mom got her attention khaila noticed her face and knew this was going to something serious, ” what do you want to be when you grow up? ” khaila thought about it and had her mind fixated on one thing. ” I want to be a superhero”
*BEEP*
*BEEP*
*BEEP*
khaila rolled to her side as she slapped the alarm clock off and contemplate life. When she has had enough of her harsh and negative thoughts about herself she gets up and walks to the bathroom. She did her business and took her shower she walked out hearing a loud eruption of heavy metal from the room next to hers.
What?
It’s seven in the morning...
The walls weren’t thin so the sound had to be up really high. As she walked to her roommate’s room she noticed the living room was trashed and a complete mess, there was food everywhere cubes in between the couches, the trash wasn’t taken out and the dishes were still in the sink.
Did this dumbass really think she would get away with this again, I laughed shaking my head. This bitch is going to get it, I burst into her room not giving a fuck what rules were made. She was in there fucking her ex while she had a boyfriend ” are you fucking serious right now? ” they hopped off of each other while the boy was still stuffing it in his pants. ” I even let you have this month’s rents off and this is what I get in return? huh? ” I was going to fuck shit up in any second now ” please khai I ca- ” I picked up the closest thing that was next to me which was a lamp.
Slamming it to the ground, ” only my friends and family can call me that don’t ever try that shit again ” the boy that seemed to be about 3 years younger then ran past me and slammed the door.
" today you are packing up your shit and leaving or I will not hesitate to beat your ass ” with that last part she got up throwing clothes on ” oh shut the hell up all you could is probably give me a black eye, iv had worse. ” I grabbed her shit and threw it in a black trash bag ” grab your shit and leave now ” I turn around and walkout
" What if I don’t ” she shifts her weight to her left foot putting her hand on her hip ” you better take your hand off your dame’s hip because you don’t run shit in this house but my electric bill ” she grabs the bag ” you really have the nerve, your barely here ” I spun on my heal bitch slapping that hoe ” I work all fucking day and night what do you do, huh ” you sprung up on here heals and aimed a punch at my face. Dogging it and punching her dead in the face
Khaila was 14 at the time when she moved with her dad. After her mother’s death which was about 4 years ago, she knew he was strict and had a strict diet and- he was just really scary and khaila never knew what made him turn this way.
He was a loving kind caring father and now, he’s almost heartless and cruel. He didn’t even look up to her as a daughter.
But as another one of his unworthy money-sucking kid that he had to take care of. Khaila has always feared she would become like him, heartless, mean, uncaring. He wanted her to be ready to live alone and without any men or women, his words pained my head to this day " do you really think anyone would care for grown-ass women who can’t take care of herself ” I whimpered at the ” look at you, you’re pathetic ” at that I ran away from home grabbing my backpack and phone old phone and dashing out of the door. ” don’t you dare run from me, I will find you whatever it takes khaila ”
The way that rings her head like it was yesterday kills me and I want it to stop. Cammy, my ex goth roommate got her thing and left. Coming back for her stuff which I supposed she means the furniture but I bought it so she has nothing to come back for.
In the last 24hours, I have changed the locks of the door, cashed my check, and... Studied more my history test.
Me being in school having two jobs and always helps the shelter full of animals get healthy and be happy isn’t taking my mind off of my future.
There this sting in me that’s dim and wants to be free but the more I keep my jobs and the more I busy myself it stays dim and hidden. But one day she knew this feeling was going to be bigger and it was going to be free, and she was suddenly frightened by that thought once again.
She sighed laying down on her bed, she really didn’t need all these jobs she was welled paid and she had millions of dollars in her saving account and her regular one,
the only reason she wanted a roommate is to keep her company in the house so she wasn’t alone, the only thing cammy was good at is playing chess and well khaila was a god at chess. She would always win ” checkmate ” and no one could ever beat her. Except for her father ” dammit here you go again ” her mind wanders off to the person who hurt her the most and denied even creating her. I hate him,
I hate him
I hate him
" no khaila that’s what’s what he always wanted you to do, be better than him always ” with that she prayed and getting into the bed to just sleep. But just as her eyes were getting heavy there was a big thud on her balcony she sat up ” uh what the- ” the breeze whooshed passed her as she got up to see a woman on her balcony ” what the hell ” she bends down rolling the female to her side but also to noticed the person below them running into a dark ally
She looked at the girl’s face She looked like a younger version of phoebe Tonkin ” dame, are you ok ” I picked her up taking her into my room ” what the hell happened to you ” she was whimpering I assumed she was cold, I put her on the couch in my room pulling out an old blanket and putting it on her. I grabbed a bowl of warm water and started cleaning up her cuts, ” that hurts what the hell ” she cried at the force and pain I was putting on her wounds. There were pretty deep and they lowkey looked like a dog attacked her ” did a fucking dog attack you are something ” she looked at me in shock
" are they that noticeable ” I nodded really confused about what the hell is happing in my home ” shit ” she pulled her shirt down ” I have a fucking job interview and I can’t go looking like this ” The only thing I felt for her was barely empathy.
" I got kicked out of my boyfriend’s house and now I can’t live on him since he took all my money I have to get a job and live on the streets ” she burst into tears, I rolled my eyes feeling that this was put together messily like the last season of Riverdale ” well I am looking for a roommate ".
She looked at me with running mascara down her face, her cheeks were red and she still has wounds on her face and her back that she obviously needed help with " i-i can stay here " I stood off grabbing the already cold water " yeah, you don't have to pay until you can get yourself back up on your feet, I know it was wrong to take in a stray but she looked around my age which is 19 " thank you, ma'am, I promise I will repay you back. I didn't say anything thinking of a way she could " yeah until then just get some sleep, you can't sleep in the room next to mine because my old roomie just got kicked and her room still reeked"
she smiled and stood up in pain " yeah thanks, but were the bathroom" she held her back limping off the couch " over there to your right"
she nodded and closed the door flicking the light on.
