Chapter3
In sixth grade, my mom and I moved to Troy Avenue in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. It was in that home where I came face to face with the darkest hours of my childhood, and some of the scariest moments of my life. I came to terms with the phrases, “I gave you life, and I can take “It” away.” and “You are so stupid, why couldn’t you be like.” and then she would go on to compare me to one person or another. My favorite” You are a mistake and I wish I never had you”. My mom and Brian fought every other night. I would see everything; my mom would slap Brian, he would punch her in the face, she would sit there, and bleed, with her shirt torn. I would sit with the blanket covering my head, holding my Bible, and praying for my mother. “Lord God, please let him stop hitting my mummy, please don’t let her die. I promise when I get older I’m going to make him pay for hurting my mummy.” I remember feeling hurt and scared because I wasn’t big enough to save my mom. I use to tell myself it was my fault she was getting beat so I deserved the way she treated me. Because I couldn’t save her from her hurt and pain. I was so sorry and I ashamed that I couldn’t help my mom. Whenever I tried to stop him, Brian would just lock the door. Moreover, the tears would fall from my face onto the open Bible pages. About once a week, the cops came to the house, and my mom would make Brian leave. Nevertheless, just as soon as he left, he would be back. After each fight, my mom would come to me, and we would cry together. I felt her pain, yet something inside me thrived from those hugs that were not always there when I needed them. My life was like walking on thin ice in brick shoes; no matter how carefully you step, the ice is going to break. When that ice cracked, I wished with all my heart I could stop time, because to me, there was no worse pain than being hurt by the one woman who was supposed to love you and care for you above all else in the world. Anything could set my mom off. You see, my mother would hit or beat me for any reason you might be able to think of, if there really is a reason for anyone to abuse their child, and reasons you would not believe.
On Valentine’s Day in the seventh grade, my valentine was Maya. Maya was a sexy, caramel, light skin complexion, who wore a school girl uniform, with delicious pink lips. At lunch all the popular kids would sit at one table and vote on who was the cutest male and female. Maya was the hot girl in our class, so I had to get next to her. It all started in Miss Kelvin’s free period, with a game of truth or dare in the back of the classroom. It was me, Adam, William, Damian my friend from Jamaica. He came to Holy Cross in the fifth grade, his mother and mine grew up together. Maya, and Vanessa, a skinny, tall, hidden beauty with braces was there. Also, Chanel who was a smart, hood wise girl who was always ready to fight, athletic, singer and, Jessica the first girl to like me at Holy cross. I got into my first fight at Holly Cross, off the strength of off Jessica’s smile who was a very beautiful sexy dark skin girl who had luscious lips, with the ass of a 19 year. And Grace, boy oh boy, fucking with Grace was a whole other world. She was a skinny, light skin freak with a sense of hopelessness and lost in her eyes, but Grace had a real thing for the kid. Honestly, I always liked Lisa. She used to let me suck on her tits in the hall way and in the bathroom. After gym class, she used to let me finger her in the locker room, or sometimes she would just sit behind me in class and I would do it right there. My dares always had to do with Maya though. After school that day, it was time to start French kissing. We all walked down the block and took the left by Erasmus Hall, onto a quiet one-way street. Everyone watched and cheered as I had my first French kiss. Nobody knew that it was my first. It was like meeting in Heaven, tasting her soft, pink lips, after she had just ate a red Now and Later candy. We both closed our eyes, and I immediately had no pain or worries. With only a day before Valentine’s Day, and after a kiss like that, you must get her something. Therefore, I stopped at the corner store and picked her up a five-dollar teddy bear.
Later, after my mom got home, I was sitting in the living room, and I asked her how her day was. I guess it was not okay for me to ask that, because right after she ran to the bathroom to try not to pee on herself, she came out and knocked me out of the chair. She began to explain to me, through brutal force, that I do not disrespect her like that. “How me day was? Boy, a who you a talk to? I am going to teach you some mannas.” After she became tired, or the phone rang, she would just go on as if nothing happened. If she was on the phone, no matter how hard the beating, I could not cry for anyone to hear. I had to endure the pain in silent tears or I would get it twenty times worse when she hung up. After my beating, my mom discovered the Valentine’s Day gift I had brought for Maya. While still recovering from my last beating, and thoughts of a new one lingering, I told her the gift was for her, but I had to wait until tomorrow to give it to her. When Valentine’s Day came and went, later that night I was in the shower getting ready to go to bed, and my mom must have realized the gift was not for her, and that it had been for a girl. I can still feel the belt hitting my naked skin, while all I can do is put one hand over my dick and the other over my face, and beg for her to let me put clothes on first. “Mummy, please, your hurting me! I’m going to listen! Mummy please, just let me put some clothes on mummy, it hurts!” After about five minutes or so, and seeing all the welts and hives that covered my body, she couldn’t watch anymore, so she allowed me to go get dressed before continuing my punishment. At this point, I’m feeling weak; it isn’t my fault I’m getting beat, my tears would burn and soon stop coming and I no longer made a sound. I just took it in silence, curled up in the corner with (crazy) welts on my body, thinking of fantasies and fairy tales of me going upside her head with the kitchen knife, but that’s my mummy and I don’t really want to see her dead. I’m just tired of the abuses to the body and the head, matter a fact sometimes I wished I were dead. It was at this point that I began to feel a complete sense of hate. Hate towards myself, towards peers, and a dark hate towards my mother, the woman who gave me life. Now it is as if every beating would take a part of my soul, on the outside, I am calm and collective
