The Heart of A Slave

The Scars She Hid From The World

The Scars She Hid From The World

REGINA MCBRIDE
The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

“Daisy come have your breakfast”my mother called.Daisy is the official nickname mom gave to me which is now my middle name.

“Mom am late for school already”I said rushing down the stairs.

“That’s because you woke up late”

“Mom I need to leave ASAP”

“Buy some food for yourself at school”mom gave me some money.

“Thanks mom”I pecked her cheeks before leaving for school.

That’s my mom,Ellie Johnson,the best mother I could ever ask for.It's been eight years now since she and my dad got separated.

Our family was a happy one,until a woman came and stole the love of my father and the worst part,she already had a child for him.

Some weeks later,my dad filled for a divorce.My mom pleaded with him not to destroy our family but he divorced her anyways.

The once happy family we had got shattered.I was just ten then but I understood perfectly all that had happened.

My name is Claire Daisy Willows but call me Claire.Not one to brag but I’m pretty,smart and I’ve got a lush body.

A body that most guys want,large curvy hips,big round butts and a medium size perky breast but I’m not really into boys.

Mom says boys are distraction and I think she’s right.Get a boyfriend and your grade drops.

I sigh and boarded a bus to school.I’m in Senior year in high school with just few months to graduate.I really can’t wait to get into College.

School was quite stressful today coupled with the fact that my bestie Danielle wasn’t in school.

It gladdened my heart as the final bell was rang.I picked up my books and stuff them in my bag.

“Hey Claire.You look stunning as ever”Levi smiles licking his lips.One of the hottest dude in school and he has been trying to get into my pants for months but I’m not giving him that chance. I guess guys will always be guys.

“Thanks”I smile and walked out on him.He tried calling me back but I ignored him.

On getting home,I met mom giggling and laughing with a man.This is unusual cause she’s supposed to be at work.

“Good afternoon mom”I greeted and turned to the stranger.He was a middle aged man probably in his late 40’s.

“Mom what’s going on here? Who is he?”

“Claire I’m getting married”mom giggled showing me her ring.I really don’t know if I should be happy or sad.I’ve always wanted a fatherly figure but now I feel weird.

“To him?”I asked.

“Yeah you’ve got a problem with that”

“Not really”

“Claire this is Logan.Logan meet my daughter Claire”

“Claire? You’ve got a beautiful name that suits your person.It’s so nice to meet the daughter of the woman I love”he smiled.

“Thanks.Mom I should be in my room”I gave him a weird look before walking out of the sitting room.

“She doesn’t like me”I heard him say.

“Just give her time.This is all too new to her”

I sigh and shut the door off my room.I take off my clothes and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

I put on a white crop top and denim shorts after bathing.

“I’m starving”I mumble rubbing my stomach.I get out of my room and head to kitchen.I saw mom kissing her supposed husband to be,he sights me as I walk into the kitchen.

Something about him seems off but I shrugged it off.What makes mom happy should also make me happy.

I serve myself with a Jerk Turkey Burger with Mango Slaw, deep dish pizza and an orange juice.

I sat at the three seater dinning table set in the kitchen.I said a short prayer and starting eating.The food was delicious,mom’s food is always the best.

“Daisy”I heard mom’s soft voice as she advances into the kitchen.She sits on the chair opposite me.

“Claire what’s wrong? Don’t you want to have a daddy?”she asked.

“I do”I sighed.

“Then why the attitude?”

“Mom it feels weird,I mean I’m used to it just been the both of us now they is gonna be a third party? It’s all too sudden to me”I tell her truthfully.

“I understand how you feel Claire,but trust me Logan is a good man and he will make a good father to you”she says and I nod.

“Anything that will make you happy”

“Thanks Daisy.By the way you’ll soon have a step brother”

“A step brother too?”

“Yes honey you will get to meet him soon.I know you’ve always wanted a complete family and we are gonna have that soon”

“Thanks mom”I smile at her as I continued with my food.

“You really want to know why I named you ‘Daisy’?”I raise my head up to meet her eyes.She never told me why before.

“Why?”

“It’s because you are beautiful Claire.Daisies are always beautiful,remember this Claire no matter the challenges life throws at you.You must not give up but stay strong”she says holding my hands firmly.

“Yes mom”

“Now that’s my Claire.I’ll be in my room”

“Ok mom”I smile as I watched her leave.I finish up my food and cleared the dishes.

Weeks later,mom got married to the man of her dreams.After then,I experienced what a complete and happy family was.My step dad and brother Owen were really nice to me.I cleared all the doubts I had about him,mom was right after he was a good man and a good father too.
