Silent Screams

The Beginning

  It was was like yesterday i remember my mommy pregnant with Toya. She was clean then and so beautiful. She had curly black shiny hair that dangled to her shoulders. She had soft and smooth light brown skin. White straigh teeth that a brighten your day. Light brown eyes that glistened wen the sun hit them. She was tall and skiny but gained weight during her pregnancy. She was fun, goofy, outgoing and a great mother. But when Toya was born our father had to go to the army. I dont remember him to well he was always gone that stressed my mother out alot.

  Toya was two years old, around my seventh birthday my mom got a letter in the mail that my dad had died. After that things never was the same. Everything started falling apart. We got evicted and had to move in a low income apartment. Moms started messing with strange dudes that came in out her room. They left her money and white stuff. That im pretty sure was crack. Toya was all i had. I took care of her and some ways she took care of me too.

  Years later i was nine and Toya was four and moms drug addiction got real bad. Now she was using needles instead of shotting the white stuff up her nose. Every time she would get ready for her daily fixing ill take Toya in the room and play i didnt want her around when moms got high. I usually would wait to our digital clock would change ten to fifteen times and then go back out. After clock said 2:05 pm i took Toya bac in the living room. But momma was sleep i took my cover and wraped it over her skinny motion less body. I then took Toya in the kitchen for bread and jelly. It had been along time since momma was a wake. So i tried to wake her. I screamed and shouted stomped and even hit her. Buh no response. It was like her body had no life. Seconds later a man i saw before coming out moms room, burged in the door asking for his money. When he seen moms on the couch he touched her neck. He looked at us with sorrow in his eyes. He took the phone from tth table and dialed a number. To them an address and left. Moments later strange men with guns and uniform barged in. A nice brown skinned man picked me and my sister up and took is to his car. It had red and blue flashin lights. He drove us to a station. Where we talked to a woman. Later on she drove us to another building it had a lot of kids. They told me because of me and my sister didnt fit the same age group we wouldnt see each other often. It was hard not seeing Toya regularly, but i got use to it. They made sure we could see each other sum time. [Do yall like so far?? Should i keep going?]
