I refused. My father slapped me so hard I hit the ground, bleeding—right in front of my child. He sneered, “Maybe now you’ll obey.” They thought that would break me. They had no idea what I was about to do next.
The slap split my lip before I even realized my father had moved.
One second I was holding my daughter’s ER discharge papers in the rain. The next, I was sprawled across the driveway tasting blood while my little girl screamed my name.
Rainwater soaked the cardboard boxes scattered across my parents’ front lawn. Our clothes. My daughter Ava’s stuffed bunny. My laptop. Her inhaler. Even the pink blanket she had clutched in the emergency room only an hour earlier.
All of it dumped outside like garbage.
My mother stood on the porch in a silk robe, arms crossed tightly over her chest, looking strangely triumphant.
“Pay rent or get out!” she screamed.
I looked up slowly from the pavement. “Rent?”
She pointed at herself dramatically. “Two thousand dollars. Tonight. You’ve lived here for free long enough.”
