I was no more than five years old when I discovered my parent's dead bodies. I lived across the street from my school so I was walking home after school and my mother was always at the corner waiting for me but she wasn't so I walked all the way home by myself and opened the door proudly about to share the news that I could walk home by myself. I ran in and checked the kitchen for my parents then ran to the Living-room. I couldn't find them so I ran to their room. When I walked into their room they were tied to the bedpost with their throats slit. I ran to them and hugged them for the last time and called the police. When they got there I was taken to the police station and they contacted my uncle and he took custody of me. When I first moved in with him he was the same uncle rob I've always known but he started to change he became aggressive and started to hit me and then one day he raped me. Always the next morning he would come to me with a gift and say sorry at first I forgave him then one day I refused his gift and apology and he threw me down the stairs I went blind in one eye and when someone asked he told me to say I tripped. Since that day I always accepted his gifts and apologies. And today was no exception he came up to me from behind and gave me a ring and said ”April I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have hit you. Will you forgive me”?. I turned and smiled at him. ”Of course I forgive you”. I took the ring and tried it on. This was the fifth ring I got in the last two months. ”Thank you for the ring, it's really beautiful”. He smiled at me gave me a kiss and left for work. Then I left for school. I walked the same way every day saw the same people who bullied me. Uncle Rob told me after I finish high school I won't need to go to college since he'll support me. Just the thought of being with him made me kind of happy since I'm always alone. He may be the only one who cares about me. School went on as any other day I got pushed into the lockers my books went missing. But I heard Jamie talk about me she said. ”April is a whore. She's been showing up with new rings in the past two months. I also saw her the other night walking with some old dude and they kissed even though she had sex with Darren”. Without hesitation, I picked up my chair and threw it at her hitting her and breaking the window. I took my things and went to the to the roof though we're not allowed up there. I heard footsteps follow me it was Finn he slowly approached me. ”April are you okay”? I looked up at him he looked scared. “I'm fine just go back to class”. ”No, I want to know what set you off”. He doesn't care he wants some information so he could tell Jamie and new rumors can be spread around the school. ”Look, I said leave. Go do something else”. He stared at me for a moment and then left. So I left school. I walked straight out of the building and walked home. Uncle rob called the house phone said he would deal with me later. I did my chores made dinner and waited for uncle rob to get home. When he came back I gave him dinner and waited for him to ’deal with me’ I had some idea of what that was. So I tried really hard not to upset him further. He called me to the table and asked me what happens. I told him everything. He said he'll talk to the school but until then in to stay home.
