(Berlin)

I was 11 years old, and I already started making money for my parents like a slave, my father never saw me as his son, he always treated me as a slave who get to work for him, well I was lucky I wasn't a girl because he would have sold me off to a brothel, "lucky I was, my dear mother, who always kept me going, because of her I was able to bear the torture of my own father, my my mother couldn't do anything, because my dad would beat her up, my dad beat me up for little mistakes and if he saw tears in my eyes he continues beating me up, it was a terrible life I live in, I always believe the lord will come and save me from this, and sometimes I ask him why? Why he decided to put me through all this, why I had to suffer. Why I have a father like this in my life, I was able to ask the questions, but not able to get a reply, it hurt, it hurt So bad....

Humans are the same, no matter how different they are in person, we are always the same, our instinct always kick in on the right time, when you have enough., a year past and nothing change, it was march 16 I just completed my 12 year birthday, I was sleeping like I was in a paradise the stars were more beautiful than before, I heard loud noise, my mom and dad was arguing, I didn't know what it was they were arguing about, I wanted to check what was happening, then I remember my father told me, ones I'm inside my room no matter what happen, or what I heard, I should never come out, if I did, he would have beat me up and my mom would try to stop him, and then he will beat my mom up, it was 6 o'clock on morning, there were people I never saw before in my house, I thought maybe it was relatives I never meet before, but I was wrong my dear mother was dead and everyone was surprised because she was fine last night, she was so healthy that some people might think she isn't even married, my dear mother died when I was 12 years old, it broke me I couldn't feel my body for minutes, she was fine yesterday, dad said she had a disease, I was young and thought how my father might felt, but I was wrong, my father didn't even cry, on the day of my mom burial, my dad wasn't there, and he asked me not to visit her grave or attend the burial, I was filled with anger and I start talking back to my dad, not just talking back, I was shouting back at him

(Berlin) speaking: "I know you never loved mother, but I was hoping maybe.....

Maybe one day you will look at us as family, as your son and mother, but you… It's your fault mother died"...

I said a lot of things to my father that morning, and he never replied to me or say anything to be, he left the house after I finish talking, I thought he felt something of the things I said, but I was wrong, he came home with a group of people, and they hold me tight, my father look at my eyes..

(father) said: "you're a bad son, and you don't respect your elders, I will have to teach you a lesson"… I was given a serious beaten by my dad that afternoon, I wasn't able to speak, and in the evening, he asked me to sleep outside, I cried whole night, I wish I had a time machine, I wish I can change my life, why do I have to suffer, it was always a question that has no answer, why?.

After that night, I knew my father can never change, so I decided to escape, to escape this hell, I want to run far from home, to a place where he can't fInd me, I start to make my plan, when ever I went outside I won't come back, ever… Something felt off, my father who tortured me for years, and make sure I work without rest, was scared to send me out, I thought maybe I was wrong, I thought it was because of my dear mother death, that's why he never wanted me out, and the reason he beat me up yesterday was because, I said he didn't care about mom, I thought I understand everything, I started to feel for me dad, that I was the bad son, and I decided to say sorry to him, and tell him, I will continue to work for him, I won't fail him, I wanted to say this to him, ones he's awake, but not too long I heard a knock at the door, it was weird, cause ever since my mom died, no one has come to knock in this house, my dad was scared, I can tell from the way he woke up, and ask me to shut my mouth quietly, he silently told me to tell them he wasn't around, I was scared and thought maybe it was a thief, I walk slowly towards the door, and open the door, I saw a cop, it was the first time I saw police, I was smiling at them like a girl who just saw a unicorn: they asked for my father, it was serious, because they didn't seem friendly, I told them my father wasn't around, they said they will come back later, but not to tell my father that they were here or anyone knock at this door, I said okay, but my father was a the back of the door, he heard every single thing.

They were leaving, and one of the cops came back and wanted to ask me some questions, but for some reason he said he will be back tomorrow, and they all left, when they left I shut the door, dad pin my neck in the ground, and ask me not to say anything he heard the night mom died, I didn't know why, but I agree to do what he said, because he was my father, he was the only one I have, I had no friends, because he won't let me have friends, I agreed with him, and decided not to say anything…

Next day:

They came and ask for my dad, and I said he already left the house, my dad was brutal, he thought I would say something, and beat me up that night, and if I should say anything I would have more than this, I had some bruise in my body, my dad was smart, he didn't beat me in places people can see, all my belle and legs were fill with bruise, they ask me if my mom was sick before she died, I was surprised, why were they asking about my mother, I told the truth, that she was healthy, she even played with me and help me with some work, when I said work, I mean drug's dad force it on us, I had no choice, they were writing what I was saying, the other officer ask if she and my dad had any argument, I said I couldn't tell, I was scared, and I was scared mom did something wrong, they start to yell at me, they ask me to think hard, they start to ask a lot of questions at the same time, I couldn't take it, so I fainted.

They had rushed me to the hospital, it was nearby, they send a message to my father, my father told them, he will come take me, but he never did, I woke up, and I remember what happened, I was angry, I said to my self men sucks out loud, and the girl nest door replied (Rebecca) "your right, but not just men, everyone sucks, woman sucks too you know,". I moved my head to the right and I saw the most beautiful girl, just like my dear mother, her eyes was kind, but her face looks familiar. I replied to her, "your right" it was silent for a while, so I decided to tell her my name, but she quickly replied, (Rebecca) "I know who you are BerlIn, i live close to your house, I'm sorry about your mother," she already knew me it surprised me a lot because I never talk too her, she was already a special person to me, I wonder how she knew me... My angel from the hospital,

Berlin: replied "I'm so sorry, but I really don't know you, I haven't talked too you before.

(Rebecca): i know we share same thing in common, me and you are alike, more than you know Berlin, when ever you feel like talking just come to me.

(Berlin): but I don't know your address? How would I?

(Rebecca): my name is Rebecca I'm 14 years old, and I have been watching you...

(Berlin): pov

I was happy, I called her my angel, because she showed up when I had no one, she was like my treasure, we decided to be friends I was sooo happy, I can see it in her eyes too she was also happy, she finally told me her address, and when night comes I slept, when I woke up, she was nowhere to be seen.
