Transcript
- 0:05Hey, it's me again with another chapter of Bad
- 0:16Love Blackie. I've mentioned before, some of
- 0:31these sensitive topics will only be heard by
- 0:37my Apple Pop Class Subscribers. This book is
- 1:14based on my life from 5 years old to about 32.
- 1:31I'm going through some tough times, and writing
- 1:36this book helped me heal. Probably no one knew
- 1:53what I was going through because I was good at
- 2:01staying quiet and keeping secrets for fear of
- 2:11embarrassment and for fear that I would tear
- 2:18my family apart if I told these secrets. But
- 2:59I got too painful for me to hold them in year
- 3:05after year. Even this was really devastating
- 3:13to me. I still kept secrets. This subject has
- 3:24been touched on for years. And just like the
- 3:35Cornell University situation, a lot of women
- 3:41just aren't believed. Especially when it comes
- 3:46to the men in their family, abusing them, portraying
- 3:54incest, pedophilia, the sick world we live in.
- 4:06But I'm about to tell you what happened to me
- 4:11in this next chapter called... Almost next. Sit
- 4:38back, relax, and have an open mind. Because what
- 4:48you're about to hear, it's no different from
- 4:53the things you already heard. But if you knew
- 4:58me way back then, you would not know none of
- 5:04this ever happened to me. Because when you saw
- 5:08me, I was not the happiest person. But I put
- 5:19on airs like I was happy. It was my safe and
- 5:27favorite place to go. Because it kept me away
- 5:31from home. Here it goes. Almost there. It was
- 6:29a cold day in hell. When turmoil hit our fam
- 6:36- Turn off the music. It was a cold day in hell.
- 6:52When... Turmoil really hit our family. Sure,
- 6:57there were problems in my past before this volcano
- 7:00hit. But those were considered minor. Like everyday
- 7:04life situations to us. As a bite... As I became
- 7:08older, I discovered that I was not normal. Not
- 7:12normal. I remember Hunter always telling me to
- 7:15come and sit on his lap. Remember, Hunter is
- 7:18my stepdad. At first I thought it was because
- 7:23that was my father and he just wanted to show
- 7:26me some attention. I feel a little different
- 7:29compared to my younger sister when it came down
- 7:31to feeling like a real daughter. Excuse me. Whenever
- 7:40we were around Hunter. She would be so comfortable
- 7:46calling him daddy, but I just could not bring
- 7:48myself to call him that. Instead, I called him
- 7:51by his first name, and I had the standoffers
- 7:55kind of fear towards him. I would avoid going
- 7:58around him most of the time, I guess because
- 8:00I saw how harsh he was with my brothers, and
- 8:04I just had an overall strange feeling about him.
- 8:08I felt that Hunter treated me special. I believe
- 8:12it was because he tried to act like a real father
- 8:15to me, instead he treated my younger... sister
- 8:18different from my kids eyes. Maybe she was the
- 8:27youngest and she demanded more attention. Hunter
- 8:31knew it affected me the most because I was really
- 8:34sensitive and I needed attention every once in
- 8:36a while from Peggy. There were times when Peggy
- 8:41would hug my younger sister and tell her she
- 8:43loved her well and the other kids would just
- 8:47sit around and watch them. We craved the attention
- 8:51but we rarely never received it. Peggy seemed
- 8:57jealous of the attention that Hunter gave me,
- 9:00especially when he was saying, fat fat, come
- 9:05here. Fat Fats was my nickname I was so embarrassed
- 9:12of, because, well, I wasn't fat. I was skinny.
- 9:3192 pounds when I was in high school, so guess
- 9:33how much I weighed when I was a preteen. 40 pounds,
- 9:38so I don't know. Peggy would tell me to go in
- 9:46my room when... every hunter would tell me to
- 9:51come here and he would pick me up and place me
- 9:54on his lap. She would tell me to go in my room
- 9:59and tell hunter that I was too big to sit her
- 10:02on his lap. I remember one summer day it was
- 10:06so hot in the house and we did not have air conditioning
- 10:09because we could not afford it. Oh, so I thought,
- 10:12I don't know why we didn't have it, but we at
- 10:16least had one fan in the family room where the
- 10:18television was. My younger sister used to walk
- 10:22around the house with her shirt off and just
- 10:25have her underwear on. She was about six, seven.
- 10:29One day she and I were sitting directly in front
- 10:35of the fan soaking in all of the hot air. And
- 10:43Hunter said to me, go in your room and tuck off
- 10:46your shirt. Still thinking, I don't have any
- 10:50breath to hide or be ashamed of, but the thought
- 10:53of sitting around with my shirt off was weird.
- 10:57I sat there debating. He said, Fat fat, go take
- 11:02off your shirt and you'll be cool. I got up slowly
- 11:08and walked down the hall to our room and took
- 11:10my shirt off. I looked into the big mirror that
- 11:14was attached to our dresser. I looked at my chest
- 11:17area to make sure nothing was noticeable. I saw
- 11:21nothing but little bumps on my chest. I was about
- 11:249 or 10. I knew my dark nipples were still the
- 11:28sign of sexuality. even though nothing was developed
- 11:32yet. Then I looked at my booty, trying to make
- 11:35sure my panties covered my buns and vagina. I
- 11:40walked back to the room where my arms crossed
- 11:42over each other, extending down with my upper
- 11:46arms covering my dark nipples. I sat down in
- 11:50a robot manner, stiffly, like I knew everyone
- 11:54was watching me. I knew Hunter was looking at
- 11:59me, but I was too scared to look up at him. So
- 12:03I waited until the right time to actually look
- 12:05into his direction and see if he was looking
- 12:08at me. The moment came while we were watching
- 12:12Richard Pryor in concert. This was a show we
- 12:17watched over and over. Richard was talking about
- 12:23women in wilderness able to whip off their pee
- 12:26in a matter of seconds while men could not do
- 12:29that. Then everyone started laughing. I laughed
- 12:32and looked up at Hunter. He was looking at me.
- 12:36I think he knows how uncomfortable I was. and
- 12:39he liked to make people feel uncomfortable. Especially,
- 12:44sometimes he would just look at you and still
- 12:47fear in you. I turned back towards the television
- 12:50and started to watch the Not So Funny. It was
- 12:57made for adults to understand and not kids. Peggy
- 13:01walked in and told me to go put my shirt back
- 13:03on. She was very upset because she knew how Hunter
- 13:07was and she just refused to let other people
- 13:11knew that she knew. Yeah. Hunter acted very rational
- 13:18at times. I remember the first time I saw him
- 13:20display domestic violence was when my mother
- 13:23came home late one morning. She stayed up all
- 13:27night to let Hunter know that what it was to
- 13:34know what it felt like to wonder where your mate
- 13:38was all night. See, Hunter was a cheater. He
- 13:42cheated with friends that would come over to
- 13:45the house, neighbor up the street. Yeah, he cheated
- 13:50with a lot of people. I'm not sure everyone else
- 13:57noticed, but I noticed. He came home, gave Hunter
- 14:31a piece of his home. What's in the account worrying
- 14:36about her when she walked in the door? I was
- 14:40relieved. She did not want to tell us because
- 14:54Hunter was in the next room, and you might hear
- 14:56her. Pekka came back looking so clean and refreshed,
- 15:00and I can still remember the sweet flowery scent
- 15:03of her perfume. It smelled like a fresh spring
- 15:07day. She sat down in the chair across from the
- 15:10front door as we were talking. All of a sudden,
- 15:16the glass that she was about to take a sip from
- 15:18tipped and all the water that was in it spilled
- 15:21all over her face. Hunter tipped the glass over
- 15:25on her pretty face and clothes. Peggy asked someone
- 15:29to get her some more water. I was not about to
- 15:32go into that kitchen where he was, so one of
- 15:35my other siblings went to get her more water.
- 15:39I think it was my younger brother. He was not
- 15:41scared of anything. And when he would get mad,
- 15:44he would turn so red. That is why Hunter, I think,
- 15:51gave him the nickname Red. Peggy sat in the same
- 15:55spot, not moving an inch. She was a strong woman,
- 15:58and she did not take much off of a man when it
- 16:00came to intimidation. She had the other glass
- 16:04of water in her hand. Again, when she was about
- 16:07to drink it, Hunter stood above her asking where
- 16:10she had been. She did not reply. When she was
- 16:15about to drink it, it went all over her frontal
- 16:18and part of her hair. I gasped. She just sat
- 16:23there, bold as ever. Hunter went into the kitchen
- 16:27and came out with a machete. It was medium and
- 16:30looked very sharp. He patted the machete on top
- 16:33of Peggy's head like he was daring her to get
- 16:36smart with him. She said, Hunter, why are you
- 16:40doing this shit? I can't remember what Hunter
- 16:43said, but it had something to do with her staying
- 16:46out all night. that started to go at it by arguing
- 16:51and shouting. Peggy finally told us to go into
- 16:54the room. We were scared that something was going
- 16:58to happen that night, like they were going to
- 17:01start fighting or something. Hunter told Peggy
- 17:04that he was going to kill her that night. The
- 17:07argument finally ceased and the kids forgot about
- 17:10their whole ordeal. We went down the street as
- 17:13usual to the school playground, riding our bikes
- 17:17as we played like we normally did that day. Night
- 17:21came, and that was a different story. While I
- 17:24was sleeping peacefully, I was awakened by ruffling
- 17:28and pleading sounds. I dismissed the sounds as
- 17:32my dream, but as I lay still, I heard it again.
- 17:38The sounds were coming from Peggy's room. My
- 17:41younger sister, Hi, shared a room that was diagonally
- 17:45across from their room. I slept next to the wall
- 17:49with about two feet in between the bed and the
- 17:52wall. I got up. from the bed and stood in that
- 17:56space looking into Peggy's room and saw Hunter
- 17:59holding a generous sized pocket knife to Peggy's
- 18:02neck. While she was pleading for him to stop
- 18:05he was moving closer and closer towards her and
- 18:08that forced her to move further into the bathroom.
- 18:12I stood there for a minute debating of what I
- 18:15should do. After I stood there for about a minute
- 18:18I jumped back into the bed and put the covers
- 18:20over my head hoping that he would stop. I thought
- 18:25putting the covers over my head would try not
- 18:30to sound, but it did not. I got up again. I looked
- 18:36again and saw a certain look on Hunter's face,
- 18:39like when he was feeling bad or seemed very angry.
- 18:42When he sat like this, he would bite the side
- 18:44of his lip and pop through his teeth and the
- 18:50remainder of his mouth. That is when I said,
- 18:55Ma! In a shaken, scared voice, Hunter looked
- 18:59over at me. over at me like he was startled that
- 19:02someone was awoke and saw what he was doing.
- 19:05My mom said, go back to bed. But I still stood
- 19:09there making sure that the scene would break
- 19:12up and Hunter would go into the family room,
- 19:15drink his red wild Irish rose and fall into a
- 19:19drunken sleep. Go back to bed, Peggy said once
- 19:23more. So I got back into bed and began to pray.
- 19:29Please Lord, don't let my mom die. And I kept
- 19:33saying that over and over and over with the covers
- 19:36over my head. I was breathing heavy because it
- 19:40was very hard to breathe. But I still kept the
- 19:43covers over my head until I fell asleep. The
- 19:45next morning, I knocked on my mother's door to
- 19:47her room to make sure she was still living. And
- 19:50when she said yes, I walked away. I was hesitant
- 19:53about showing her affection because I was scared
- 19:56that she would not accept it. A few weeks to
- 20:01a month later, My younger sister, my mom and
- 20:05stepdad were watching television and a subject
- 20:09that came up, and the subject came up pretending
- 20:13to call him Hunter Dad. My younger sister said,
- 20:19he is not your real dad anyway. Hunter said,
- 20:23Booty, be quiet. That was a nickname that he
- 20:26gave her. Booty, I said, and looked at Peggy.
- 20:34She had a funny look on her face that told me
- 20:36my sister might be telling the truth. I asked
- 20:39Peggy what she's telling the truth, and she said
- 20:41yes. For about 10 years, or from a really early
- 20:48age, I thought that he was my dad. I sat there
- 20:52stiff once again, this time trying to hold back
- 20:55my tears. When they started to roll down my face,
- 20:59I got up, ran to the room, plopped belly first
- 21:02onto the bed, and started bawling my eyes out.
- 21:05Peggy came in after a few minutes and said something
- 21:07to effect like she was sorry, but I tuned her
- 21:10out. I did not even look at her. She left the
- 21:14room. And that is when I start to lose my mind
- 21:16even further. I sat up in the bed, between the
- 21:19wall and the bed. As I faced the wall, I began
- 21:23to hit myself in the head with my open hand.
- 21:26And then when I went to punch myself with my
- 21:28own fist and saying, you stupid, I hate you.
- 21:31I hate you. I just wanted to hurt myself so bad
- 21:37for being a reject. But the punching in my face
- 21:41did not hurt me. So I began to bang my head on
- 21:44the ugly blue and white wallpaper wall. There
- 21:49were so many times when I wanted to just rip
- 21:51that ugly wallpaper off the wall. It had blue
- 21:54trees that were on a white background. You know,
- 21:59that wallpaper from the 1800s. It had people
- 22:07like sitting up under trees or something weird
- 22:10like that. I was saying harder and harder against
- 22:16that ugly wallpaper. All sorts of things were
- 22:19going through my mind. I didn't have care if
- 22:21I became brain dead at the time. Peggy came in
- 22:25and said stop that because my little sister told
- 22:28her I was banging my head on the wall Remember
- 22:34I did a couple more times before I I woke up
- 22:38the next morning Worrying about I was not going
- 22:46to mention it Was I just going to pretend like
- 22:51nothing ever happened and just refer to him as
- 22:54my dad? Every now and then a group of kids were
- 22:57engaged in a conversation that had to do with
- 22:59that I cannot explain the way I felt being in
- 23:03school I was unable to concentrate on my schoolwork
- 23:06my tension pant My attention span did not last
- 23:09very long, but eventually I got finger ordeal
- 23:12and remained an A -B student. The next incident
- 23:17I remember is when Hunter came home late one
- 23:19night and walked the whole house up by raising
- 23:22unnecessary hell. He was drunk as usual off his
- 23:26favorite red wild average rose. I can't remember
- 23:31what he was saying, but I do know it was not
- 23:35very pleasant. He would say, Peggy! come in here
- 23:39and at the same time I heard choppy noises. Hunter
- 23:43was drunk and I think Peggy locked him out of
- 23:46the room. Peggy went to the family room where
- 23:49Hunter was and he began to beat her up and that
- 23:53is when she called everyone in there to jump
- 23:55on him. My brothers was the first one in there
- 23:59because their room was on the other side of the
- 24:03family room. They jumped on his back and I was
- 24:09standing behind them while Hunter was bent over.
- 24:12Being beat by at least five people. I kicked
- 24:15them into the butt. I remember this so vividly.
- 24:19He probably did not feel it because he was feeling
- 24:22fists and blows to his back. Someone called the
- 24:26police. I believe it was our next door neighbor
- 24:28Emeril. Emeril was about 50 to 60, 70, I don't
- 24:33know, years old and a hunter and himself became
- 24:37acquaintances. Emeril was a very nosy young...
- 24:44man and he knew everything that went on. I believe
- 24:49he was gay also because one day his mail came
- 24:52to our house on accident and it was a box with
- 24:59at least 10 to 20 magazines in them and every
- 25:04magazine had a new mail on the cover and all
- 25:11throughout the magazine. The police came after
- 25:15their deal was over. And back then domestic violence
- 25:19was not a big issue, at least not in the law's
- 25:22eyes. This cop that came was a real redneck.
- 25:29He could not care less about the whole ordeal.
- 25:33Peggy told him what happened and this pig acted
- 25:36like he either did not care or he did not believe
- 25:40her. The so -called cop called us into the living
- 25:43room one by one and asked us what we heard and
- 25:46saw. You know, the scenario was like the old
- 25:50days, the old racist days, when a white cop would
- 25:55go into a black household and infect the stereotype
- 25:59that us blacks were often labeled with. Well,
- 26:03tonight, we did fit the stereotype. A half -hearted
- 26:08black fighting each other with a bunch of nappy
- 26:11-headed kids. When the officer finished talking
- 26:14to us, he went into the living room where Hunter
- 26:17was, and talked to him for a while. The policeman
- 26:21was intimidated because Hunter was acting like
- 26:24a loony. After the policeman talked to Hunter,
- 26:28he came back into the room and told Peggy that
- 26:31since they were married, he did not have to go
- 26:34anywhere. Just to let him sleep his drunk stay
- 26:41off. Peggy could not believe what that pig said.
- 26:46He became very nasty with her and said, If you
- 26:51and your kids want to feel safe, I suggest you
- 26:54all leave for the night. Ain't that about a blip?
- 26:59A mother with six kids has to leave while her
- 27:04drunk husband stays in a warm house. And this
- 27:08was in the winter time too. I thought about spitting
- 27:11on that piece of trash. I was sitting on a coffee
- 27:14table with my flowery, hot polyester and cotton
- 27:18robe on with about four to six rollers in my
- 27:25hair hanging down to my shoulders. Hunter came
- 27:30in the room. sat in a chair across from me looking
- 27:33disgusting with his alcoholic breath and his
- 27:36red and yellow eyes Hunter was looking at me
- 27:39while saying Come here fence fence He was patting
- 27:44his thighs. I hated him that night, but I was
- 27:47also still scared of him I was afraid to say
- 27:50no to him, so I just sat there debating what
- 27:53to do I almost ran back into the room when Peggy
- 27:57came in and told me not to go over there boy
- 28:01was I relieved because I would have been sitting
- 28:04on his lap feeling a lump of something on my
- 28:06behind wishing that I would not have gone over
- 28:10there. I went to the family room where my other
- 28:13siblings were talking about something that was
- 28:17chopped up. When I went in there I saw his and
- 28:22hers plastic banks that they had chopped up into
- 28:29small pieces. The head on his woman's bank was
- 28:34chopped off her body. Peggy finally told us to
- 28:37get some clothes for tomorrow. We did have school
- 28:41the next day, but we were leaving for the night.
- 28:45By this time, it was about 1 .30 in the morning.
- 28:47We powered up in a brown and green station wagon.
- 28:50It was the best station wagon we ever owned.
- 28:54It was kind of trim and tan, you know, just sitting
- 28:56there stylish, looking kind of light, looking
- 29:00kind of nice. Us kids got into the car, afraid,
- 29:06sleepy, wondering what was going to happen next.
- 29:09We sat in the car in front of the house while
- 29:11my mom and sister figure out what we're going
- 29:14to do next. I was about 12 or 14. My sister was
- 29:22about six years older than me. Those three minutes
- 29:28that we were in the car in front of the house,
- 29:30I kept looking at the front door in the driveway
- 29:32hoping that Hunter would not come running out
- 29:35with the machete in his hand trying to cut someone
- 29:37up. After we sat there for a while, Peggy said
- 29:41that she needed a weapon for when we were going
- 29:44to come back home. She told my older brother
- 29:47to go in the backyard, get the baseball bat,
- 29:57and come back to the car. He said, I'm not going
- 30:00back there. Peggy said, he is not going to hurt
- 30:03you. Pray everyone will get it. So my brother
- 30:06ran up there as fast as he could and brought
- 30:09back the bat with him. We took off for a long
- 30:12drive trying to find some place to go. Mother
- 30:16with six kids would have a hard time finding
- 30:18someone to take all of them in, especially in
- 30:23the wee hours of the morning. After about a half
- 30:27an hour of a drive, I had to use the bathroom.
- 30:30So we went to a gas station where we found the
- 30:32bathroom was locked because the gas station was
- 30:35closed. Peggy told me to squat down beside the
- 30:39car and urinate beside the back door. I did what
- 30:42she said and found that everyone was looking.
- 30:45I said, they're all looking at me. Turn your
- 30:48head she replied I was a hesitant but I was 10
- 30:52seconds from using bathroom on myself So I pulled
- 30:54my gown up looked around in the car to make sure
- 30:58no one was looking Began to take care of my business
- 31:01when I was finished. I realized that I had no
- 31:04tissue So I began to shake my bottom sock to
- 31:07the side up and down trying to get as dry as
- 31:09I possibly possibly could When I thought I was
- 31:13dry, I stood up my gown went back down into the
- 31:19car not dry at all. A little wetness plus cold
- 31:31spelled uh -oh, so I began to wiggle myself dry.
- 31:36It worked a little, but I began to smell like
- 31:39a little urine. I tried to forget about it by
- 31:42lying my head down on the seat as much as I could.
- 31:46Takey decided that we would not have much time
- 31:48until the sunrise, so we slept in the car. So
- 31:51we slept in the car. I tried to sleep as best
- 31:55as I could with my head on the armrest and my
- 31:58body flattened to the side. It seemed like I
- 32:00was up every 30 to 45 minutes. I just could not
- 32:04sleep properly, especially with that incident
- 32:07on my mind and with my cold, wet underwear. The
- 32:10last time I had waking, it was almost time for
- 32:14school. We were not too far from the house, so
- 32:17we went back in and freshened up. We were all
- 32:20hesitant about going back in the house for fear
- 32:23of facing Hunter. Besides that, I cannot remember
- 32:27much more about that incident. After that day,
- 32:32everything seemed back to normal. That was the
- 32:35way it was after every incident until something
- 32:38else happened and the whole uncomfortable process
- 32:41would repeat itself. That day after school, I
- 32:47was walking home by myself as usual. But this
- 32:52day was not like any other day. I was hurrying
- 32:55home trying to escape this little short boy.
- 32:59He was shorter than me. He had very brown skin
- 33:03with pimples on it. He had this look that he
- 33:08was anxious to get in trouble. This boy had a
- 33:10crush on me since second grade. I believe I was
- 33:14in the fourth grade by now. I transferred from
- 33:17my old school to this school, and the first day
- 33:20I went to my new school and classroom, him and
- 33:24two other boys was pulling on my behind. I did
- 33:30not know where they learned that from, but they
- 33:33had to see someone else do it. Maybe their parents
- 33:35would do that kind of thing in front of them.
- 33:38All I know is that they were too young to learn
- 33:40this on their own. My second grade teacher, Ms.
- 33:44Doskey, had me standing in front of the classroom
- 33:47to introduce myself to the class before I sat
- 33:51in my assigned seat with watery eyes, very afraid
- 33:57to speak to all of those strange faces. I was
- 34:03so shy and timid that Hunter had to whip me at
- 34:06times to get me to say hi to some of his friends.
- 34:15I felt so uncomfortable around them that I would
- 34:17take the whooping and be sent to my room rather
- 34:20than say hi to them because that meant I would
- 34:24have to be around them that much longer. I was
- 34:28a very weird kid. I would think the most terrible
- 34:33thoughts if I were to open my mouth. I would
- 34:39think that no one would speak back to me and
- 34:41then my feelings would be heard all over again.
- 34:43I cried after dropping the hat for anything and
- 34:47I still did somewhat. I said to my new classmates
- 34:52with watery eyes, my name is Nyra. I had to repeat
- 34:57myself because I spoke so low that no one can
- 35:00hear me. I was able to go to my assigned seat
- 35:04after the second time. I sat down with my light
- 35:08blue pants on while Willie rubbed my behind and
- 35:17I just sat there like a frog on a log scared
- 35:20to turn around from the corner of my eye, stickering.
- 35:24and told the other boy what he did. A few minutes
- 35:27later, I felt another hand across my buttocks.
- 35:32This time, I looked back and it was this cute
- 35:37boy named Chris. But I was still mad, no matter
- 35:40how cute he was. It still pissed me off. I scooted
- 35:45my chair up away from them. They scooted up right
- 35:47behind me and really rubbed my behind again.
- 35:51By then, I was boiling inside. I raised my hand
- 35:54and before the teacher turned around and yelled
- 35:59out, Could you tell Willie to stop touching my
- 36:04butt? This doggie was a much older lady around
- 36:0860. She may have been younger than I thought,
- 36:12but to young kids, grown -ups look much older
- 36:15than they are. Especially folks who stay in the
- 36:18sun. They tend to get more wrinkles than folks
- 36:20who avoid the sun. Willie would follow me home
- 36:24and threaten me because I told him. I told on
- 36:26him. He would say things like, I'm going to kick
- 36:29your butt or I'm going to pin you down and crisp
- 36:32you. or I'm going to pin you down on the ground
- 36:35and kiss you." Willie used to kick me in the
- 36:38butt with his foot while I was walking up the
- 36:40street to my house. One day, when he was kicking
- 36:45me in my butt, he kicked me right up the anus
- 36:48with his toes. It was so painful, I felt like
- 36:51crying, but I did not. I did not want him to
- 36:54know that he got the best of me. I had to cry
- 37:00in front of people. I wanted them to think that
- 37:02I was stronger than I looked, so I held a lot
- 37:04of pain within myself. I had and still have a
- 37:08very sensitive heart that is easily crushed by
- 37:11my feelings being hurt. I can take a lot of physical
- 37:15pain and if I was to cry, it was because someone
- 37:18had said hurtful things to me. I went home after
- 37:26the butt kicking incident and told no one as
- 37:30usual. That was another problem I had. I always
- 37:35kept secrets and never told anyone. The next
- 37:39time I tried to hurry home from Woolly was a
- 37:42snowy day and I had my blue and red mittens on.
- 37:45He pulled my hair and my butt still hurt from
- 37:48the previous incident. I thought about that day
- 37:52and I turned around and pointed my finger at
- 37:55him with my index finger that made a hole through
- 37:59the mittens from my long nail and said, you fuck
- 38:03with me one more time and my big brother will
- 38:06pick your ass. He said, Ooh, I'm so scared. And
- 38:11kicked me again. As he walked away, I prayed
- 38:15that he would not come back and what I said would
- 38:18work, for I had not told my brother what he had
- 38:23been doing to me. It worked, because the next
- 38:27time I walked home, he offered to carry my books
- 38:29for me. I declined his offer. He went to the
- 38:33same school up until high school, and he tried
- 38:35to go out with me a couple times. A couple times
- 38:38with no luck. I guess I was the kind of person
- 38:41that freaks, pedophiles, sick maniacs look for.
- 38:45Me, timid and shy. My grandmother lives on the
- 38:49west side with my uncle who was about 40 when
- 38:52he left her house. He moved in with the lady
- 38:55and her kids for a few months and returned back
- 38:58home. Every summer, us kids would go over to
- 39:00my granny's house in twos or threes since it
- 39:03was six of us all together. Either she did not
- 39:06have enough room for all of us or she came up
- 39:09with this clever idea so she can keep her sanity.
- 39:13In the summertime, there was a lunch program
- 39:15at the park down the street from her house. My
- 39:19grandmother would tell us in her southern voice,
- 39:25y 'all go down to the park and get your lunches.
- 39:28Sometimes we would get our lunches and walk back
- 39:30to the house with them. Before we would get to
- 39:33the door, she would tell us to go sit in the
- 39:36backyard under the shade and eat our lunches.
- 39:40She would always tell us to get out of the sun
- 39:42and find some shade. Almost every night before
- 39:46bedtime, she would feed us peaches and ice cream
- 39:48or pound cake and ice cream. I always thought
- 39:51my uncle was weird. He was very handsome, but
- 39:54strange. I used to keep my distance from him.
- 39:58Besides this particular time when we were upstairs
- 40:00in his room, this year I went to my grandmother's
- 40:03house with my two brothers. It was myself, my
- 40:06uncle, my brothers, and another girl. That was
- 40:09related to the family somehow. My uncle came
- 40:12up with this game to play. It was like... musical
- 40:14tears, but he had us crawling in a circle on
- 40:17the floor with our butts in the air, passing
- 40:20him, and he was controlling the lamp. He would
- 40:25turn the light on, and whoever was in front of
- 40:27him was out of the game. He turned the light
- 40:31on and off a couple of times during the game,
- 40:34just to see where we were. He turned the light
- 40:39out the last time, and I was crawling inside
- 40:42of him. I felt someone touch my butt. The first
- 40:47time I thought it was someone thumbing over me,
- 40:50so I did not pay much attention. The second time
- 40:53it happened, I heard, ooh, yeah. And I said,
- 40:57wait a minute, turn the light back on. The light
- 41:01did not come back on. So I said, I quit. And
- 41:05I stumbled trying to turn out the light, trying
- 41:10to turn on the light myself. The light came on,
- 41:14and then I saw my uncle licking like a sick pedophile.
- 41:17I got up and went downstairs to avoid him doing
- 41:19it once more. As I was sitting downstairs, I
- 41:22heard all the laughter and everyone having a
- 41:25good time. I wanted to go have some fun with
- 41:28the other kids, but not at that price. As the
- 41:31years went by, I was filling out my clothes,
- 41:36and he would make comments like, your butt is
- 41:38getting bigger, or you have gotten bigger since
- 41:42the last time I saw you, or if you want my niece.
- 41:47All those comments would do is remind me of the
- 41:50time when he felt my tender young ass. I understand
- 41:55him, but I tolerated him through the years. I
- 41:58did not dare to tell Hunter. He would have killed
- 42:00him, even though he was a molester himself. Life
- 42:05is very weird in the fact that you only remember
- 42:08the real bad or the real good times. When we
- 42:11moved to our current house, we made friends with
- 42:14the two white kids who lived in a house up the
- 42:18street. The girl Holly was my age and the boy
- 42:21Dan was my brother's age. They lived with their
- 42:25mother in a... clutter not so clean house. Cereal
- 42:30would be on the floors and potato chips would
- 42:32be everywhere. I was always careful whenever
- 42:35I would go up there not to sit on cat hair that
- 42:39was always on the couch most of the time. And
- 42:43their mom would come home and make them clean
- 42:45up sometimes. Dad used to eat fried worms for
- 42:50protein and he would try to get us to eat them
- 42:52also. We never did. He seemed a lot older and
- 42:56more mature than my brother was. One day they
- 43:00asked me and my brother to stay all night. My
- 43:06brother was all for her, but I thought about
- 43:09the filth and the crime. Dan wanted me to spend
- 43:15a night with Holly to keep her company, and he
- 43:18kept asking me. So I said, okay. That night when
- 43:23we were asleep, Holly and I slept on a couch.
- 43:26One at each end, and the boys slept on the floor.
- 43:30I was sleeping really well until I felt this
- 43:33wetness inside of my vagina. I looked up, And
- 43:36Dan had his finger inside of me. I swung at him
- 43:39but did not say a word. I did not want to be
- 43:42responsible for ruining his friendship with my
- 43:45brother. So I just stayed away from the house.
- 43:48Or I always tell Holly to come down to my house
- 43:50to play. She really did because her mother was
- 43:53gone all of the time and she could not leave
- 43:56the house. This is the first time I have spoken
- 44:00about this incident. And this happened when I
- 44:04was between the ages of 10 and 12. About a year
- 44:09after they moved away, I cried because I was
- 44:11going to miss Holly. She was a good friend. This
- 44:16next incident I'm about to talk about is the
- 44:19one of the most painful I will mention in this
- 44:22book. I will probably shed a few tears while
- 44:25talking about this. And this concludes this segment
- 44:38of Almost Next. Until next time folks, I appreciate
- 44:45you tuning in. and like i said before the real
- 44:52intimate and embarrassing parts will be heard
- 44:55by only my apple subscribers so the next part
- 45:05only released to my apple subscribers thank you
- 45:09for listening and until next time that was not
- 45:47what i wanted until next time peace out
