Survival Of A Bad Bitch

CHAPTER ONE(Prolugue)

I woke up to muffled screaming and yelling coming from outside of my bedroom. It woke me out of my sleep, and i already knew what was happening. After i wiped my sleepy eyes,I looked at my clock and it was 1:30 in the morning. I got up , and peaked out my door. I could see my mother arguing with Dray in the living room. Nights like this was pretty normal for me. A drunk stepfather , and an abused mother , fighting with each other. Before i could step out of my room my big brother pushed me in , and closed the door behind him.

"What are you doing , you know you cant go out there shy", he pulled me on to my bed . "Look I'm tired of this shit sis"  he said with his head in his hands . my brother was 18 and i was 17. We been living here with Dray since we were kids , watching him use and abuse our mother .

My brother , Naheem despises Dray. They got into arguments plenty of times , but our mother refuses to leave him . She told Naheem to leave it alone and stay out of grown folks business, but over the years Naheems anger towards Dray grew more intense. I hate him too,but what can i do about it . I cant stand seeing my mother cry , and its been countless of times i have over the years.

Our real father left when we were babies. Him and my mother were young,and he had just got a scholarship to play ball. He was scared that the pregnancy would mess up his future , so he kept us a secret.  For awhile he would come and visit once a week, Then twice a month. After my 14 birthday he stop coming all together.

My mother said he got married and had some more kids, and he is happy with them now. She told me not to have hope that he will come back, because he forgot all about us.  After that i stop caring, and crying.  i just worried about my mother and my brother . He called once on my 16th birthday , but i didn't answer. Since then we lost complete touch .

"Shy you hear me?", Naheem said breaking me from my daydream."I'm not dealing with this shit no more! ", he got up , and i grabbed his arm.

"Naheem what you gone do?. You cant beat him he's to strong you remember what happened before. Just stay here and hold me", i pleaded . i knew my brother was no match for Dray ,and i didn't want him to get hurt.

"Shy, I'm the man in this house, i cant keep letting my mother get treated like garbage, you just sit here aight . ill be back, lock the door!", he said walking out. I tried once again to hold him back but he yanked away.  He closed the door and he walked out. 

5 minutes later i heard a bunch of arguing. I could hear Dray yelling at Naheem, and my mother pleading for them to stop. I got up and opened my door and walked out.

"Lil nigga you think you tough now, you still a lil bitch , im the big dog nigga", he said laughing. He looked at me and smiled.

Baby Girl, i woke you up?", his smile turning to a frown."Well To fucking bad.All y'all do is keep me up in this bitch".

"Dont talk to my sis like that bruh. im tired of you disrespecting my family", raheem yelled, while spit flew from his mouth .

"Just Stop it! All of you!! Raheem go to your room now!", my mom yelled holding her hand against her head.

"Bitch Stop yelling!", Dray spat choking my mother, and tossing her in the recliner .
"Thats the problem now i cant relax cause you allways fucking yapping.

"No nigga you the fucking problem", Naheem snapped.

"Who the fuck you talking to.you better stop while you ahead",Dray said cracking his fist.

"Do it nigga , I fucking dare you!",Naheem said. At that moment Dray ran up on Naheem and attempted to grab him, but he stopped in his tracks.
Naheem looked at Dray
with confidence.
