If Only They Had Listened

On May 27, 1899 Martha Jones and Albert Jones had their first little girl today they named her Jamia ( Ja-Me-A) Ahvayuh (A-Ava-yuh) Jones. She was born during the war against South Africa. At the time everybody thought she was a lucky little girl because she was born in one of the richest families in St. John's In Canada an had no worries of the war. She was very smart But she was more off to herself didn't really like to hang with any other children or play with others. Her mother and father seemed to have loved her so much during this time she seems loved well taken care of and healthy, But all this begins to change on Oct 27th, 1905 when her little sister Ania Jones was born. Everything began to change Jamia was only 5 at the time when they started to treat her differently, on Nov 19, 1910 was when the event that'll change her forever. "BBC Nia give me my stuff back now!!" Jamia screamed "No!!" Nia screamed back Jamia snatched her phone back from Nia an Nia fell down the stairs she had only fell down three steps an busted her lip on the floor. Nia began to scream as if someone had stabbed her "DADDDYYYYY" she screamed Jamia just stood there in shock because she didn't intentionally mean to push her. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Their mother an father said rushing to the stairs "Mia pushed me down the stairsss!" Nia cried out acting as if she was gonna die from a simple little cut her teeth had done when she fell. *Switching Point Of Views To Jamia's* "Dad I swear she took my phone an wouldn't give it back an I snatched it an when I did she fell down THREE STEPS it wasn't nothing she's being dramatic!" I said trying to explain how their 5 year old was being extra. "GIVE NIA YOUR PHONE AN PASSWORD AN GO TO YOUR ROOM DONT COME OUT FOR ANYTHING !!" My dad said yelling in my face something he had never done he grabbed my arm an pushed me against the stairs I remember hitting my head an feeling dizzy as I stood up I saw my sister point an laugh so I stumbled to my room an lied on the floor an cried the rest that day an night . That was a Saturday so I didn't have school the next day So I woke up an went into my bathroom an got dressed for church an I realized there was a knot that had been bleeding. So I called in our maid Ms. Renee "MS. RENEE CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SECONDDD PLEASEEE" I said yelling outside my door luckily she was already walking towards it. " Omg Sweetie your face what in the tarnation is this?!" She said rushing to my Aid she grabbed my hand an rushed me into the hall bathroom. Grabbed a wash cloth a wet it with cold water "What happened to you do your parents know!? " she said gently tapping the rag on my face. "Daddy the one who did it" I said starting to cry all over again she looked at me with tears in her eyes "He did this to you???, he's never done anything like this" she said hugging me. After that day my father an mother would torcher me when they were mad they took all their anger out on me."JAMIAAAA WAKE UPP BABY GET UP" Ms. Renee cried holding me at the attic's stair way, I had been down there for probably 15days without food. They had told the school an family and friends that I had been sent off to boarding school for behavioral Correction. I was never a bad child I just was the least favorite an most blamed an picked on, "Look at Jamia daddy" Nia said laughing and pointing at me I was so sick and weak my body had bruises everywhere. "Call doctor Locket James we can't have the public see this " he said walking away with his coffee an a big smile. "She needs to eat more an keep her in a warm area because she's close to getting hypothermia" The doctor said looking at me I couldn't speak to try an ask for help. I would've thought he would've known look at me I don't deserve any of this, or maybe I do deserve this. A week later I was a well enough to go to school I had made up in my mind I was gonna tell someone. As I walked to the counselor's office I felt so afraid praying they'd believe me. "Goodmorning Mrs. Parker can I speak to you for a second" I said I was so scared but I knew I could trust Mrs. Parker I was always abled to talk her about things. 30 minutes after telling her what happened she said to me "Are you done lying to me??, I thought I knew you better then this your a liar get out my office your a DISGRACE" she yelled at me. I ran out her office into the bathroom an cried I had missed 1st period an half of 2nd period. I didn't have friends I wasn't allowed to the principals an teachers listened to my parents an I was separated from the other students. It was one male I felt would help me. "Coach Mike hey coach mike!" I said walking up doing a hand shake "Wassup babygirl" he said doing the hand shake to. "When you gone let me see some?" he asked I never responded to those type of questions I just ignored them. That day I was checked out an my father was so angry with me for telling what they had been doing to me. "BRING YOUR STUPID UGLY ASS HERE NOW!" He said yelling in the principals office he grabbed me an slammed my little body against the principals book shelf the principal sat an said nothing an that moment there is when I losted all hope in people and hope that I would be saved. "Sir please don't handle her in that manner she's only twelve" she said still sitting there doing absolutely NOTHING. No one came but him on the car ride home the only thing he said was "You finna regret opening YOUR GOTDAMN MOUTH JAMIA?!" I was so afraid but I was prepared for a beating never was I prepared for what was about to happen. As we got out the car he said nothing he just buzzed for the maids to open the door and of course Ms. Renee did "My goddess come in let me take you guys coats" she said grabbing me an taking off my coat it was freezing outside but of course it was the month of October. He grabbed me by my arm soon as my fist was off "TO THE BASEMENT LETS GO!" He yelled yanking my arm so hard I know I'm gonna have a bruise. I looked back at Mrs. Renee an I could tell she wanted to cry, he opened the basement door an pushed me in I fell down the stairs. He slammed the door an turned the light on by the door, "Get up a look at me" he said smiling he looked so weird this time but I did as I was told he walked towards me an I whispered "I'm scared" my eyes began to water. "Don't be " he walked up to me an grabbed my waist an told me turn around as he struggles to get in. He grabs the scissors off the floor an cuts the inside of me i was bleeding everywhere an he continued to rape me pulling my hair "This what you wanted right??, a REAL man" he said moaning I was in so much pain I couldn't scream or cry anymore I remember passing out an waking up in a hospital. "Baby are you ok??!" My momma said my momma RARELY spoke to me, I couldn't speak my voice was completely gone from screaming no one tried to help I wish I had died. "Mia I thought you were dead" my sister said crying at my side I never seen her cry about ME before. "I don't know what she was doing down there I tried to stop her" my dad said crying I wish I could tell what he had done but I couldn't speak. Months went by I had to re learn how to walk I was told I'd never be abled to have children which I didn't want, but he took that opportunity from me. So on January 19, 1912 at 8:30am I decided enough was enough an I went an told a coach coach Brian about what was going on he began to comfort me daily checking on me telling me everything would be ok an that he was gonna seek me some help. "Hey, Ms Harris can I see Jamia for a second need her to help me with a few things" he always asked me out of class but this time was different. "Ok Jamia go ahead with coach Brian " she gave me permission to go with him so I left it was him another student an I walked out to the court yard an started giving out snacks. "Hey Jamia I need you to come with me to gym to get the rest of the food ready" he said putting his apron on the table. Today was field day so we had to pass out snack an things an I was in Ms. Harris class so I went to ask her, "Yea sure go ahead" she told me I immediately ran to him an told him she said I could go. "Ok well you go threw that door an go around an imma meet you there have to pick up something's first than I'll be there Jacob's coming aswell" he said walking away so I went to the bathroom then started walking towards the gym "Mia come threw this door" Coach Brian said waving his hand I could barely see considering I'm legally blind in one eye. "Ok " I said walking threw the door as I walked in I seen lockers. I then realized I was in a locker room, “Go threw that door right there” he said pointing ahead I couldn’t see if Jacob was there so I walked towards the door an walked in. I then realized he wasn’t there an I heard the door closed behind me,I automatically knew what was finna happen. I turned around “I’m scared” I said backing away “don’t be afraid “ he said walking closer “I’m scared” I repeated it three times “Don’t be scared!” He said grabbing me he stood in front of me an unbuttoned my pants. I knew better then to scream no one would hear there’s a whole field day going on music an their on other side of the school. I stood there in fear as he touched my private area “turn around” he said biting his lips looking at me I felt so humiliated, I felt violated, an disgusting. I hated my body but I did as I was told an turned around I bent over on the countertop like I was told he then forced himself in me. As he was going all I thought about was dying I wanted to die so bad, I just sat there an pretend I was at a happy place. “You like this don’t you” he said pulling my hair as he finished he grabbed a towel an Wiped his semen up off the floor I pulled my pants up “Don’t tell anybody ok?” He said looking at me “ok” I said I just wanted to be gone I hated myself I hated my body I hated my life I couldn’t trust ANYONE . After school I ran home off the bus an hugged Ms. Renee so tight an just began to cry I sat down an told her everything she immediately contacted the police an they got involved. “I HATE YOU YOUR NOT MY CHILD I WISH YOU WERENT BORN WE DONT ACCEPT GAY PEOPLE IN THIS FAMILY YOUR NOT MY CHILD!” My mom screamed at me she had found out that I had been writing a girl on MySpace. “Jamia it’s ok she just needs time” my sister said hugging me, me an my sister still weren’t close but she was growing to understand an see that the way I was being treated was wrong. *BOOM BOOM BOOM* “POLICE OPEN UP!!” *BOOM BOOM BOOM* I ran down stairs as my dad open the door “ To Be Continued ….
