I’m not a girl that leaves her country for no reason, my heart is already broken and soul dimmed from it’s pure light, the scars on my arms and bruises stay as a reminder of what a mistake I have made. My skin is pale and bags covered my red puffy eyes from crying. A year of this abuse has left me broken to the ground, my parents and friends finally found out what has been happening, they promised to help me get back to my old self but being here filled with terror and fear I don’t think I will, my heart is already in pieces and my head is filled so many bad memories. I laid in my old bed head on my mother’s lap as tears ran down my red cheeks hands under the blanket and back sore with some bruises that are still fading in time” We need to get her out of here” Mother said playing with my hair knowing that makes me drowsy also that I like it” But where?” Father asked with a frustrated sigh pacing around the room, opening my eyes I whimpered towards my father’s direction” Dad please don’t be angry” My soft and broken voice filled the quiet room, dad’s body turned towards my mother’s and I’s, his eyes were clouded with anger and grief, he walked over and sat next to my mother as he placed his hand on my wet cheeks” My little kitten I am so sorry” He said lips trembling tears welling into his brown eyes but he held them back, with my shaky hand I take his hand in mine and squeeze” I’m sorry” I choked feeling my throat clog up and body shake, all three of us finally break down crying, my mother held me close hands trembling as dad hugged us both. Standing in front of the plane I stare at the sky my eyes clouded and shadowed all emotions leaving me slowly, clutching the handle of the suitcase I glance at my sad parents, my friend who moved to Korea with her boyfriend came down the steps and hugged me tightly eyes glazed with tears” I am so sorry” She sobbed, the strength she had in her hold was tight and it made me wince from the pain but I endure it and hug back tears no more in my eyes” It’s not your fault. Saying goodbye to my parents we walked in, it was sad leaving my parents behind but they said it was alright as long as I was okay, I am afraid that he will come back or do something bad to my parents, the constant worry in my heart left me sleepless as we flew to S. Korea, leaning against my friend shoulder she patted my head, she doesn’t like human contact but for now I really needed her. We finally arrived and exited the plane, her boyfriend stood near as we walk towards him, my body shook and even though it was a bit warm I still felt cold” Hey” He softly said hugging her, staring at them I smiled a bit, at least she had someone in her life, finally” Hey Tasha how are you?” He asked smiling at me as he slightly hugged me before letting go” Not good” I can’t lie to my friends and it clearly shows I am not in a good shape, later we got a taxi and after a few minutes or hour of riding we got to their home, it was a medium one enough for three people, we got to the guest room and they left me in the room alone. Putting down the suitcase I laid on the bed on my stomach not wanting to feel the bruises, putting my chin on the sheets I sigh, eventually I will have to move from their house and live somewhere on my own but for now I need to find a job soon and get some money or at least help at home, as the sun sets my eye lids start to go heavy, feeling the need of sleep I let my eyes close letting the darkness consume me into nothingness but silence and peace.
