The Beginning,
Now you must be wondering How I got myself in such a situation, first of all I didn't, I didn't go out clubbing, I wasn't involved with shady people, I was your typical girl next door, who had quite the normal upbringing, I was an only child between my parents, and growing up around them was quite amazing, we weren't, exactly rich we were just well off, that is until Dad lost his job forcing mum to work double, which put a strain on their relationship, that and the fact that Dad got himself into gambling, he and mum fought every day because of his gambling, things went on like that until I was 17 and Mom decided to finally leave.
Leaving me behind with Dad, who at this point had become a dead beat. I got an after school job to help take care of myself since my father didn't acknowledge my presence in his life anymore, I hated him, but I resented Mum more for leaving me behind, I would never forgive her.
It was a Friday night and I had just gotten home from making pizza deliveries, I brought a box along, deciding to spoil myself, the house was silent indicating that my dad wasn't home, after eating I left some pizza for him and made my way upstairs to catch up on some school work, I put the laundry in the washing machine then retreated to my room, I lay on my bed for a few moments, contemplating whether to take a shower before I do homework or if I should just close my eyes and fall asleep, I then decided on the latter, deciding to drift off to lala land.
My peaceful slumber soon came to an end as I was awoken by a loud bang and shuffling downstairs, I then heard my father calling out for me, he hadn't said my name in 6months now, and that came as a complete shock to me, I put my jacket on and made my way out of my room, he must be drunk and needs someone to carry him to his bed, I thought to myself, even so, he never calls me by my name. We were like two strangers living under the same roof, he completely ignored my existence and hardly talked to me, except when he was drunk out of his mind then he would say all this horrible things about Mom and I.
I got downstairs and found a purple eyed Dad who had a bruised busted lip, and dried blood on his forehead, Damn, they must have roughed him up good, he was with two big scary looking man who looked like they walked straight out of a Mexican mafia movie, I laughed inwardly at the idea of the mafia being real.
I stood in the middle of the room between Dad and the two men, not knowing what to say or do.
"Take her, take her and my debt to you will be cleared"
"What?" I asked not sure of what was going on.
"How old is she?" one of the Big men asked, in a lowly deep voice.
"13,18 I don't know, just take her and leave me alone please" my Dad said in a Drunken voice the moron did not even know my age, that's how much he stopped caring about me and my whole existence.
"I'm 18 you jerk, and what the hell is going on here?" I asked taking slow steps back as panic filled me.
"Fresh fish on the market, she is going to make Auction night interesting" another of the goons said smiling creepily.
"Alright, you've got yourself a deal you drunken idiot, we better never see you in Luciano's Lounge ever again. Take her!" one of the men said as another one approached me, he quickly grabbed me before I could attempt to make a run for it, I squirmed trying to struggle out of his grip but he was too strong.
"Dad what is this? What's going on? Where are they taking me?" I asked my father who was now out of it.
"Daddy? Please Say something" I pleaded as hot tears began to fill my eyes, my heart forming a lump in my throat as panic was getting to me.
"Dad!" I let out one last cry, attempting to kick my way out of the man's arms, before I could say anything else, a cloth was bought to my nose filling my nostrils with a burning stench, causing everything to slowly go out of sight, I closed my eyes a lonely tear running down my face as my world went Dark.
