Justice 💙

I woke up to the wonderful smell of French toast and sausages. I turned over looking at the pretty pink princess walls and the toys spread about in the corner.

"Good morning Justice, come and eat with your dad and I " my mom said wearing her silk pajamas.

I quickly got up, brushed my teeth and ran down stairs to hug my father

As I reached my arms out to hug him, the room started to spin.

The French toast turned into piles of cocaine.

My dad no matter how outstretched my arms became, he kept moving further and further away.

My mom came down stairs with her hair in shambles and her outfit torn to pieces. She kept repeating " I just need it, i just need it to survive" as she went pass me to get to the drugs. Completely ignoring me being distraught and my arms being outstretched.

I turned to the living room to take my mind off of my parents. The beautiful living room with a huge flatscreen TV, a long sectional couch, beautiful flower pots and pictures of our perfect family became the room at Hope Foster home that I shared with 5 other girls.

Present day

I woke up holding my self tightly looking around the big room. I sat up and took deep breaths to calm my breathing.

This is the 6th time I've had this dream or nightmare and every-time it ends the same way. Sometimes I just wish that I could get close enough to the figure that I envisioned as my dad so that I could touch him. Hear his voice or even see his face.

I was interrupted by the knock on the door. I adjusted the bonnet on my head and went to open it

"Good Morning, did you sleep well?" Jason asked

"Yes, it was great" I lied . The bed was beyond comfortable but the dream just ruined everything.

"I'm glad to hear that. When you get ready come down and join the girls and I for breakfast" he said as he looked me in my eyes.

I shook my head and said okay as I went to run my shower water. I took a shower, touched up my hair, applied some mascara and lipgloss before going over to the closet to find something to wear.

I decided on some black high waisted pants, a Gucci shirt, and some heels. I tucked the shirt in and added a thin belt before heading downstairs.

I walked through the long hallway until I seen the huge staircase. I took that time to notice how lavish and coordinated everything is. After I walked down the stairs I followed the smell of food to the kitchen.

Where again I seen all 15 women.

Some barely had on any clothes while others were fully dressed.

"Alright everyone, again this is Justice. Like I said before she is next in line. She is not to be disrespected, if I get any word about any disrespect there will be consequences. Are we understood ? " Jason said looking all the girls in the eyes.

They all shook their head yes.

"Ladies since today is Sunday , you all will spend it getting to know Justice as Justice gets to know you all as well" he said as the chief started making plates . I still haven't said a word and my mind was telling me I may be in over my head .

A couple hours after breakfast

I have gotten to know the girls a bit better. Some of them are really nice including the white girl who I seen the first day who's name is Genesis.
