Ameera

I sigh looking at Eden like I’m going to die, my life feels like it’s not even mines anymore. She lets me know that I’ve been sold to a man name Dominance King who lives in Puerto-Rico! Can you believe it my own parents have given me to a complete stranger for what I don’t know but I tend to find out. I get up to head to my room because right now I’m so pissed and there is nothing I want to hear and no one I want to see right now. As I get to my room, I slam the door and jump on my bed face down in the pillow to scream my f*****g lungs out!  E comes behind me telling me to keep it down looking worried that my parents might hear me, she wasn’t supposed to tell me they’re going to let me know a little closer to my f*****g birthday!!! What a gift right?  Tears fall as I sit up in my bed and look into Eden’s eyes. I was a 18-year-old girl who was home schooled and only has 1 friend my life is not interesting at all so what does this man want with me? A million thought ran through my head I clear my through and let Eden know I want to be alone and that I will be fine, I promise her and give her a reassuring smile. The minute she walks out my room and closes my door, I head out the window. I have to tell Alicia, she will help me figure this all out. Alicia is my best friend, well my only friend we’ve been friends for 15 years and my parents still have never met her. Crazy, right? I hop in my car start the car and leave I can’t believe my parents would do this to me; I take that back I can’t believe my mother would agree to this! As I pull onto Alicia’s street I text her .... Ameera. 911!!!! Alicia. WHAT’S THE MATTER WHERE ARE YOU?! Ameera. Outside HURRY!  Not even 2 minutes later Alicia is outside looking so worried she jumps in and I pull off, no where in particular I tell her everything not even breathing as I go on and on by the time I get done she’s crying with me, she hugs me and tells me we’ll figure it out we always do I look at her shaking my head okay but I’m not too sure this time.  Alicia loads off question after question. When, why, where and who I look at her  giving her the date I leave September 4th, her eyes widen ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!! She yells and I just shake my head yes. We sit and talk about a plan for 2 hours til I look at my phone and notice I got 30 missed calls and they are all from my parents. GREAT! I drop Alicia off letting her know I’m not leaving without her and Eden they are my everything the reason I breathe every day without them I am nothing. She hugs me for what seems like forever, then I let her know I’ll call her later.  When I get home, my parents are waiting in the dining area talking, when they hear the door they shut up and direct their attention towards me. My father is the first to speak, well yell Ameera where in the f**k have you been we’ve been worried sick and why are you not answering your phone he hisses. I look at them with so much disgust. I scuff and roll my eyes before proceeding to go to my room. But My father stops me at the bottom of the steps.  I’m not done talking to you Ameera get your ass back here Well I’m done talking to you, what kind of family sells their f*****g daughter? I sort I’m so mad I’m screaming and tears are now running down my face, my father looks at me with so much guilt. I had to Ameera you wouldn’t understand; I slap him and run to my room.  I scream so loud; I lock my door after slamming it so hard pictures fall off the walls; I blast my music taking my jacket off preparing to paint what I feel. Ignoring everyone. My mother knocks a few times telling me to please hear them out, come eat, unlock the door, and so much more but just like the first few times I ignore her turning my music up more. When I am done I’m satisfied with my work drawing a dis functional family, I drew me with my back turned to my parents in front of our home.  I sigh putting the paint brush down and go to my bathroom to take a shower turning my music up more. Show me love by Alicia keys blared through the speakers as I found myself wondering who was this mystery man so after washing my body I headed out the shower to lotion my body and throw my hair up into a bun.  Then I search his name  DOMINANCE  KING  And before I knew it, I had a full report; not only did I get sold, but I got sold to a scary cartel prince and gang leader/kingpin. What was my father really into?
