Houston, TX

Parker was currently at her mother funeral with her "family."

"My beautiful granddaughter." Parker grandfather pulled her into her hug Parker hugged him back giving a fake smile

Parker saw her aunt and she smiled as she watched her walk over to her

" I'm so sorry for you lost." Anita said hugging Parker tight

"Thank you aunty." Parker hugged back

"I love you. Keep your head up," Anita kissed her cheek

"Thank you. I love you too." Parker smiled

Parker grandmother and cousin walked towards her and her smile instantly dropped

"Parker you look just like your mother." Her grandmother smiled and Parker smiled back as she tried not to make eye contact with her cousin but he kept staring at her

"you look real pretty Parker." He said and she cringed

"Thank you." She said lowly feeling her hands get sweaty

"Sit here and talk to your cousin Parker." Her grandmother said and Christian smiled

She quickly went to the bathroom and threw water on her face she looked up and seen him standing behind her, she was going to scream but he shushed her

"Parker..." he said looking her up and down,

"Can you please leave." She said as her heart sped up

"Your all grown up now."
His hand began to trail up her leg making her push him back and run out the bathroom

—————————————————

Once again Parker was at square 1 when she lost her mother..

she got better just to be at square 1 again.

She looked down at the razor and pills. She knew she promised her mother she won't ever pick em again.

"Christian stop. My Mommy said no one touches there." Parker said pushing Christian hand as Christian put his hand inside her shirt grabbing her boob.

"Oops." He said laughing and grabbed her boob again

"Christian seriously stop, if you don't I'm going to tell." Parker said

"Don't be a snitch. You want people to call you a tattletale?" He said and Parker eyes widen

"No. Of course not." Parker said frowning

"Then shut up." He said walking away

"Okay.." she said as she sat down
-
"Christian stop" Parker tried pushing Christian off of her as he tried to force himself into her

"Christian seriously stop." Parker said trying to push him off but he held her hands down

The door opened and Christian quickly got off of Parker and went in the closet.

"You alright lady bug?" Diana asked walking into the room

"Yes mama."

"Alright goodnight, I love you." Diana said kissing her forehead

"I love you too." Parker was going to tell but the words Christian kept saying to her flowed through her mind

'No one likes a tattletale'

'They're gonna hate you forever if you tell'

'Their going to send you and your mother away if you tell, you wanna be homeless again?'

'Snitches get stitches,'

-
"Diana stop." Parker grandmother yelled as Diana and Christian mother fought

Parker finally told her mother and this what it led to

"I swear to god if you touch me Joanne your old ass gonna be on the floor with her" Diana said as she picked Parker up

"I'm sorry mommy." Parker said as she laid her head on Diana shoulder

"You ain't got nothing to be sorry about lady bug, it's his fault. Not yours. Never."

-

She looked up at her self in the mirror then back down at the razor and pill bottle

"You promised Parker." Diana spoke standing at the door frame and Parker turned her head slowly.

"I know mama." Parker sighed

"Then what are you doing?" Diana walked over to here and placed her hand on her shoulder

"Look at yourself.." Diana said and Parker looked in the mirror

"Is this my lady bug?" Diana frowned

"No." Parker said as a tear rolled down her face

"Exactly girl get yo self togetha. Be strong, keep yo head high, I keep telling you your crown tilting." Diana said making Parker smile.

"I love you." Diana said

"I love you too mama." Parker closed her eyes and let out a breath and opened her eyes back and Diana was gone.

She grabbed the pill bottle and opened it.

She went over to the toilet and poured all the pills in there, she pushed the toilet handle and the pills flushed down.

Parker threw the pill bottle in the garbage along with the razor.

She got in the shower and washed her self, she got out dried off and put a big shirt on, with basketball shorts

She turned her tv on a laid under her covers and her phone dinged.
