Sadie
In three days, our summer vacation will be over, and I’ll be starting my
senior year. I saved as much as I could over the summer to move out
since my parents can’t afford to pay my college tuition. Instead of saving
for your kids’ college fund like any normal parent would, Dad blows the
rent money at the casino and comes back empty-handed, demanding more
money, including anything that he can sell for a few bucks, and pawns it for
cash so he can lose it all over again or waste it on alcohol.

Since my father can’t support his family, it forced me to grow up, making
sure our electricity stayed on and rent was paid. I have to hide my check
and tip money underneath the loose floorboard in my bedroom closet.
Otherwise, Dad will take the money I work so hard for his personal gain.
Parking my car on the side of the road, I spot my best friend, Natalia,
sitting on her stoop.
“Hey, Tia,” I call out while walking up to her porch and holding my work
uniform over my forearm.
Tia looks up and away from her phone, sliding her ten-dollar sunglasses
on top of her head. She grins, stuffing an envelope in her back pocket.
“Hey, girl. ‘Bout time. I’ve been sitting out in this fucking heat for twenty
minutes,” she greets me in a sarcastic, friendly tone .
“You know you have air conditioning, right? And besides, no one told
you to wait outside.” Rolling my eyes, I join her on the stoop.
“Why are you sitting out here anyway? Does it have to do with the
envelope you stuck in your back pocket?”
Tia only sits on her stoop to think things over, make a difficult decision or
share bad news.
She turns away from me.
I nudge her arm when she doesn’t respond. “Hey. What’s going on?”
After a while, she finds her voice. “I was sitting here thinking about what
our lives would’ve been like if we lived without being someone’s fucking
punching bag.
I think about that all the time, but I don’t tell her that. Instead, I give her a
nod, quickly looking away. She knows that’s all I’ve thought about since
we were kids, counting down the days until we could disappear. There were
countless nights when I prayed for a new family.
“We were good at pretending everything was fine. Always fine. You know
I hated that word, right?” She laughs, but it seems forced. Tia tightens her
ponytail and turns her head away, trying to hide the pain, but I see the
sadness in her green eyes before she turned away. Even underneath that
tough exterior, she can never hide her sensitive side.
“Tia, where is this all coming from? Did something happen?” I ask with
concern.
