Its Not Over

I never thought it would ever end this way, I always thought I was strong enough. Here’s my story. It all started when I was born, my mom and dad didn’t want to know if it was a boy or a girl before I was born, they were determined it was a boy. They didn’t want a girl, they said I was a mistake, but that’s not what drove me over the edge. Theres so much that you don’t know, that I don’t know, so much nobody knows and that’s what poked me while I was standing at the edge of the cliff.

Ever since I can remember I was beaten at school and at home. I was always the weird kid who had problems. Even in pre-school I got beat up and when I did they would call my parents to come pick me up, when I got in the car it was always silence until we got inside the house, that’s when everything happened. They had so many creative ways to hurt me, they scream and call me weak and worthless and if I were a boy I wouldn’t have been such a big disappointment. I don’t remember much from then, I’m in 7th grade now. Which means it’s only worse. It’s the first day of school when the “big” beat downs begin. I walked in the big doors and waited to be attacked and it happened. The moment I stepped in the door David punched me straight in the face, I hit the ground with a thud, he laughed and started kicking me.

I curl into a ball which makes me appear even more vulnerable so he adds some more strength to his kicks.

I look at them and silently ask what they’re going to do to me when we get home, they just look at me in shame. The doctor walks in and tells me I’ll be okay, m...

She was such a beautiful girl, as I get to the end of her speech I call this Davids kids mom and ask her to bring her son over, when they arrive the police are removing my daughter's lifeless body from the house I invite them in and show them the video, by the time she stabs herself David is staring at the ground. I hit pause and his mother looks at him and then at me. I see a tear roll down the boys face as he whispers “She was so strong and beautiful..” and he walks out of the house. He writes a note and leaves it in her grave. Nobody has ever read it except for him and her. I walk into the house and pack my things and I’m gone before Preston arrives home. It’s all over just like Kara wanted it to be. I only wish I realized that I needed to be stronger for her, with her and leave before then, I only needed to be strong.
