“Tell me what you say now? Tell me what you say, Come again.” Jhene Aiko voice rang a crossed my room as I got dressed to visit my parents grave. It happened 2 years ago but it feels as if it just happened hours ago. Tears run down my face as I'm brought back to that horrid night. I can still hear my mother's scream in the mid of the night and my father shouts.
⏳Flash back
“Leave her alone the only problem you have is with me!”, my father voice yelled out. I threw the covers off me and ran so fast down the stairs I partially tripped down some.
“What's going on daddy? Who all these people I asked?”
“Go back upstairs baby girl nothing for you to worry about. Mommy and I are just playing a game with some old friends okay? I'll see you in the morning.” , I stared at my father not processing what's going on and what he just said.
“Go now damn it!”, My mother yelled.
Startled and a little confused I turned away to walk up the stairs when suddenly I'm grabbed and pushed down the wall.
A man with a black ski mask whispered in my ear saying, "You're gonna suffer all because of daddy". His breath smelled like vile and rotten eggs. I almost passed out when he kept breathing over me staring at me like food to a homeless man that hasn't eaten for years. He then grabbed me by my hair and dragged me into the living with my parents. Now that I'm up close I can see my mother tethered bloody clothing and her bruised skin. My father badly beaten but holding on for his family while being held at gunpoint. I glanced around the room at these strange people. Suddenly realization hit me we all are gonna die. I start to scream and kick at the man that's holding me down which only resulted to a couple of punches to my face. “Where's the neighbors?? Don't they hear our screams? Didn't they hear people breaking in?” I started to go in and out, my mind was getting fuzzy and before I went completely out I could faintly hear the two gunshots that silenced my parents for life.
I remember when I woke up in the hospital and the doctor told me I suffered from a mild concussion and I been raped. You been here for two weeks. He asked did I have any close realatives cause my parents has passed. I tuned him out and tried to figure how am I gonna get out of here. He finally left when he realized I'm not gonna answer him. I slowly unhooked myself from the machine and stood up. I almost fell so I grabbed the bed rail and steady myself for a moment. I walked over to the dressers and seen a white tee and some sweats. I slid them on and walked out the room. It was kind of late so not many nurses and doctors were roaming the halls. I slowly crept down the hall trying to look Normal as possible when I bump into a wall.
“Crap”, I muttered to myself and looked up to see the most handsome man I ever seen.
“Going somewhere he asked?”, I nodded still in a trance. He chuckled softly, “ Do you need help?”
“Yea I'm trying to get out of here.”
“I'll help you. The garage is the opposite way. He led me to the parking garage.
“You need a ride?”
I replied, “yea.”
“Why are you sneaking out? “
“Hmm, well I just woke up in a strange white room that smells like nothing but old people, rubbing alcohol, and hand sanitizer. A weird white man standing over me looking like he wanted to steal my organs. Saying I've been out for two weeks, I've been raped and my family been murdered. Putting his fingers in my face and stuff like I'm slow.”, I rambled.
“And after him telling you that? You just gonna hop in the car with a stranger?”, he asked.
“Well I uhhhh...you didn't seem scary to me so..I don't know I feel safe. Why? Should I know something?”
