"You are going to Richmond in a couple of days, I hope you have everything ready?"
"Yes Mom."
"Good. I'll drive you there myself."
I was too excited for Richmond, not that I liked the school, but I was going away from all this pressure, the pain, the turmoil and torment. It was too much for me to bear.
I am honestly tired. I begin recollect everything again. But in the middle of my
thoughts I feel a presence, a very one that shrinks me and my pride, who had actually disappeared. I turn around and see my father with a digusted look on his face and he scans my whole body.
"Richmond huh? But I'll leave you off with a warning. You'll always come back, after you paradise escape, you'll come to this very house and very room." I could feel his voice and temper rise.
After a humiliating laugh, he walked downstairs, intentionally bumping into my shoulder on the way. I look at him with digust and tears in my eyes.
How could he? It was hard to believe. This man who had being very loving and supportive to me turned to a dreadful monster right in front of my very eyes.
I couldnt have thought this to happen a year ago, but now, its an everyday reality.
The days went by fast but we're often slowed with pain. I was ready to leave for Richmond.
