Love Game

Realization

(Alisha)

Me and Lexus got off of the bus like 10 minutes ago and was on our porch ringing the doorbell.We left our keys because mama is usually here by now.I rang the doorbell once more before knocking.Still no answer. I was getting agitated so I repeatedly turned the doorknob not expecting it to open.The door was always locked, and for it to be open was a little weird.We hesitantly walked in the house, immediately getting hit with the stench of alcohol.I heard Lexy sigh lowly, already knowing the outcome of this.We slowly walked up to our room and locked the door, softly before turning around.When I did, I almost shat bricks.There laying on our bed was José with 5 beer cans next to him."Where the fuck y'all been?!" he slurred, while stumbling over to us."We were outside trying to get in, but we didn't know the door was opened." I whispered to him. He really intimidated me and I felt like a 5 year old under his hard gaze."You a fucking lie!!, Y'all was out being hoes." It hurt my feelings hearing my dad say those words to me.How the fuck was I being a hoe, when we only what? 5 minutes late? Alexis opened her mouth to protest, but instantly closed it.I would have closed mines too, but I had some words for him."How the fuck were we out being hoes?! We waited and waited for you to answer the door, but you was too busy, concentrating on what the fuck to yell at us about next.We have been nothing but good gi-" he slapped me cutting me off mid-sentence.I tried to fight him back but he seemed to get angrier and angrier. He continued to hit me like I was a man.He only stopped hitting me when Alexis threw a glass vase at his head, and that was only to slam her up against the wall. I heard some more glass break, and everything after that became a blurr.

Me and Alisha was at our house, ringing and knocking on the door. My stupid self left my keys on the dresser so we were locked out.Alisha knocked on the door and started playing with the doorknob causing it to open,I was spooked as hell because I was not expecting that to happen!.As soon as we walked in I smelled beer.I let out a long, low sigh,preparing for the worst. We crept upstairs to our room and slowly and quietly closed and locked the door.I was so focused on her not making a sound that I didn't even notice José laying on my bed with beer cans all around him.I could tell that Alisha was scared just by how her breathing changed. "Where the fuck y'all been?!" he slurred, while stumbling over to us."We were outside trying to get in, but we didn't know the door was opened." Alisha frantically answered."You a fucking lie!!, Y'all was out being hoes." What the fuck?I opened my mouth to protest, but instantly closed it.I already knew what this would lead to, but before I could stop Alisha she yelled."How the fuck were we out being hoes?! We waited and waited for you to answer the door, but you was too busy, concentrating on what the fuck to yell at us about next.We have been nothing but good gi-"He slapped her, and her trying to fight him only made him punch her harder.I had to do something! I searched for something to fight him with, but I couldn't find anything so I picked up the nearest glass vase and threw it at his head, watching the pieces crumble to the ground and him turning to face me. His eyes were black and evil looking as he pushed me up against the wall. He was hitting me hard, but I got a couple hits in too.Enough to be able to escape his tight grip and pick up another glass vase.This time I smashed it in his head.He slowly fell to the ground.

I rushed over to Alisha who had passed out on the ground.I didn't know what to do!! I called my mom 5 times and she didn't answer, so I had no other choice than to call the police."9-11 whats your emergency" "My sister wont wake up, and I-I don't kno-know if she's okay!" I was crying harder with each word."Calm down ma'am, I'm sending someone to help you." I held Alisha body close to me as I cried, hoping that she'd magically wake up from my tears, like in the movies; but she didn't. Not even 10 minutes later, there was loud banging on the front door.I was afraid to leave though, what if as soon as I left, José woke up and killed her.Was she already dead? I sat there pondering and crying heavily as I focused on the what If's I didn't even realize that Alisha's and myself were being put on a sketcher.Why was I on a sketcher? Is Alisha going to be okay?. I let out one final breath before everything blacked out.
