"Mommy ? How can you say that ?" I asked tears streaming down my face. I thought she loved me. Doesn't she ? Why isn't mommy helping me ?
"How can you accuse a man like David, Nick ? He is such a great man ! Why are you acting up ? He took care of you while we couldn't. Didn't he ?" She asks genuinely confused. How do I tell mommy ? How do I tell her that Master David is a very bad man and he scares me ?
"He hurts me mommy. He gives me nightmares" I shout in hopes of making her see my view. She didn't instead a stinging sensation is felt on my right cheek. I look at her bewildered. She slapped me !
"Go away Nicholas and don't ever show your face here again ! Such a disgrace you are !" She screams and points to the door. I do what I was told. I left. I never looked back. I will miss mommy and daddy but at least I won't see Master David again.
