1. Esmeray Parker
I'm so tired of my life. I can't take this anymore. I sighed heavily as I started to walk upstairs to my so called 'room'. It is so..... Horrible. My bed is wrecked to the core. The springs are popped out of place, my windows are blocked with wood -so I don't escape- , my wardrobe is abnormal -if I can describe any of these then I would- I honestly need to have comfortable sleep and that is why I'm going to move my ruined mattress on the floor. Once I was happy with my progress, I was been called downstairs "Esmeray!!" My aunt, Caliana, shouted for me. Again
"Yes?" I asked as I lowered my head as she approached me "What. Is. This?!" She spat at me as I looked at what she was holding in her hands "it's lunch" I told he as she swing her hand at me. My head flew to side as I felt my cheeks burn with the heat of the slap "it's HORRIBLE" she shouted at me "make it again!" She left after throwing it in my hands. Once I was done, I went to prepare something for my cousin, Harvey, he always gives me whatever I wanted. He once bought me a TV to watch all my shows and Movies, but David -his so called dad- bashed it with a metal stick.
I then heard my cousin and his dad enter the house laughing "oh I forgot dad, Mr Knight will be throwing a ball on Thursday and wants us to present there" he said to his dad while I served them lunch. Luckily his sister, Taylor, wasn't here.
Wait? A ball? Mr Knight. The Liam Knight?
I shot my cousin a smile when I snapped out of my thoughts. Once he takes a bite, he hums in a songful way "this is so damn good" he said while taking another bite "say Es, you should come with us to the ball" my eyes widen in shock
I would love to
I shook my head, no. "Uh... Harvey, son, she needs to stay home because she isn't one of us" his father said, trying to convince him but do you think he will listen?
"If she isn't going then so am I!" He shouted while returning back to his meal "bu-" he got cut off when Harvey implied "besides, he said that he wants ALL of us to attend. I also told him about her and he wants us to bring her along so he can get to know someone new" he turned to face his father, staring daggers at him while Caliana was quite this whole time "you wouldn't want to hurt his feelings now would you?" He asked his dad while he put a smile and his father forced a smile on his face "no, I wouldn't want that" he said while dropping the smile off his face. Area hours passed and finished up with everything. Once everyone was in bed, I took a shower and went to sleep.
I was so excited to go to a ball. I fell asleep, having wonderful dreams.
The next day I woke up to see Harvey snuggling in my neck. I couldn't help the smile that crept on my face. I played with his soft silk brown hair. If happens to have kids, they will look so beautiful like their father. I managed to get out off his grip and went to get dressed and get to my work. "Esmeray Parker!" Oh. My. Godddddddd. My stupid cousin Taylor is heading my way God knows why
"What" I said as she slapped me across the face. I looked at her as she burned up with rage "why did you slap her" Caliana asked Taylor as she swing her head to look at her mother "while I was having sex with Jason, he moaned her name!" She shouted at her mother. She turned her gaze to me as she grabbed a handful of my hair in her hands, making me yelp in pain. She then tossed me on the floor -i know. I'm actually very light- like I was nothing. She started to beat the crap out of me until Harvey came downstairs "Taylor!" He shouted from the stairs "go to your room and study now!" He demanded her. The only person she ever listens to is Harvey. The last time she disobeyed him, he banned her from going to school. Well the company that he works at is under his name, so whatever money to company gets, is his but David will never allow him to buy anything for me.
She then nodded her head and walked upstairs to her room. I stared coughing out some blood as from how hard she has been kicking me "come on. Let's go to your room and get you fixed up" he said helping me up. I sat on my bed when we reached to my room. He ran in my closet to get a towel and started to help me get cleaned up "Es, your 18 years old. You are old enough to stand up to Taylor. She may be a few years older, but don't let that stand in your way, okay?" He said while I was sniffling. He wiped my tears away and gave me a warm hug.
"Okay" I replied back. I hugged him back and once we separated, I have him a huge smile. "How about we spend the day out together. It's not nice to stay in the house a lot" he said as I looked away as he said that "don't worry. I already told dad" he smiled widely at me "why do you have to do that?" I asked him "do what?" I looked at him when he asked me that
"Why do you always have to fight for me just to get what I always wanted?" I started tearing up. It burned my chest but I needed to get it out "babe. If you aren't gonna fight, then I will fight for you" he said while standing up and giving me a hand to steady myself when I stood up too.
