She Was Always Mine

Jasmine.

I wake up to Evelyn calling my name , I sit up

Disoriented as I look at the clock it's 2am her blue eyes fixed on me she sits down at the edge of my bed "you were screaming again" I slump

My shoulders as the nightmares have been reoccurring this past couple of weeks. All

I see is blood.

" I am sorry I woke you" at least you woke me

Not June or the boys" I guess" One day you will need to talk about you know" I know " I stand up from my sitting position. Evelyn stands up to walk to her bed. The bedside lamp is on it's winter in Maine it's very dark outside.

I make my way the kitchen as quite as I can don't want to wake up June my foster mom or the boys worse Reign. I would not want to deal with him at this present moment.

I get to the kitchen it's snowing outside to think couple

Of Years ago I was on the street a emancipated kid as I am about to open the fridge I hear footsteps and  low voices.

"You fucken Killed Him Reign , Matt said to beat him up" a guy I don't know says as he walks up and down.

"Shut up about that " Reign says as it's none of my business I decide to go back upstairs when I kick the kitchen bin making noise as Reign comes running to the Kitchen "Well well If it isn't the stray snooping at night" I have to mention I am scared to death of Reign. He's not just a bully that will put gum on your hair simple things like that no Reign will pull your hair out of your follicles or  push hard until you fall he has hurt me before.

I stumble through my words "I just came down for water I swear I was not snooping "before I get a chance to go back he grabs by my hair pinning me to wall"what did you hear Stray" he pulls hard as his other hand makes its way to my neck squeezing hard. I try to pry his hand

On my neck but he pulls my hair more hard pain shoots through me as I scream.
