Dressed for revenge

Life for me has always been full of sadness ,loneliness and hunger.I remember those days when I had to struggle to take care of my little sister,i was just 13 ,yet I had two jobs and could only afford to send my younger sister to school.You are probably wondering about my parents ,I never met my father ,so I lived with my mother-though I would never call her that to her face - living with her was a nightmare.She was addicted to and lived of of drugs .It wasn't a good reputation to have a mum as a drug dealer therefore all the local parents instructed their children's stay clear of me.My mother would hit and abuse me but I would never let her touch my sister .Growing up there was always barely any food at home .I would have to steal bred from the shopsjust so we wouldn't starve .

My mother wasn't of any help,She accused me of stealing her money and her multiple boyfriends would always find some way to touch me.One day i was helping my sister with her homework (I was smart for my age and she would bring books for me to read from the local school) when my mother decided she had enough of us.Her current boyfriend-I think his name was Jon-walked in "guess what you little bitches ,Selena has had enough of you .Now get the fuck out !"

"What ?" , I exclaimed.It was obvious that my mother didn't love us ,but I never expected her to throw us out the house she needed us to run her little errands . Walking to my room to pack some stuff I felt a rough tug on my arm .

"Leave your stuff and go ,or do I need to teach you a lesson?"

'Oh hell na he wasn't going to touch me or Lorena' I quickly ran out the house with Lorena by my side , just wearing my worn out slippers , my old pair of Levi's ,and a plain white hoodie . I turned to my six year old sister .There were tears rolling down her smooth tan skin , at that moment I felt disappointed in myself,almost like this was all my fault .No ,I would not let these horrid thoughts invade my mind it was not me ,it wasn't my sister , it was my slutty mom.she caused all of this .Walking down the dimly lit street I held my sister tightly my arms we came , knowing my mother had caused us all this pain ,I knew one day ,I would get her by the throat and kill her .Thats if the drugs didn't get to her first.

I took off my hoodie and placed it on Lorena who must've been cold ,scanning the area , I spotted a neat corner near an old shop where we could stay the night .

Watch out mother ,because I'm coming for you .You expect me to be broken , but you cannot break me .it doesn't matter how you die , but I will get my revenge , and either way you will end up in hell .Nobody messes with Zina and gets away unscratched .

That being declared I held my sister tight in my arms , and drifted off to sleep.
