Bria POV:

" suh weh dem seh when yuh tell them ?" , Mickayla asked . We were currently at her house , since I was tired of being trapped inside my own house and even worse with the  people that  had suddenly became strangers overnight.

" well mi mada ....", I paused the word suddenly sounding weird and strange to say. " she apologise and seh dem did a plan fi tell mi but, eh wouldn't change anything because dem love mi as dem owna daughta and mi understand that but, then she guh seh how afta dem did adopt mi, she get pregnant wid Celine couple years lata and how she did so happy fi finally have har actual biological daughta and that hurt mi , that and eh fact seh eh deveen mek sense mi try fi find mi actual mada because she nuh wah nuhun fi do wid mi since am the product of rape", I replied.

" mi nuh know wah fi seh honestly, mi cah even imagine how yuh feel right now . A mean 17 years and yuh just a find this out ? and a deveen like seh yuh find out by dem a tell yuh,yuh find out by accident.  Imagine if yuh neva did get up fi guh look fi yuh birth certificate? and jeez wah happen to yuh actual mada terrible fi real and sad".

" yeh that a true but, mi neva ask fi this" , I replied and Mickayla sighed.

" true. Suh weh yuh likkle sista seh bout it? "

I shrugged," she nuh really care meaning she seh it nah guh change eh fact seh mi har sista and she love mi same way ".

" aww that sweet.  Honestly Bria , yuh cah change wah already happened and based pon weh me know and wah yuh seh , Mr and Mrs Tomlinson treat yuh good and yuh love yuh life living wid dem suh , mi woulda advise yuh fi just mek it stay dah way deh. Yes mi agree dem shoulda seh sumuh way sooner instead a mek yuh find out like this but, next year yah 18 , adult suh yuh cah mek eh decision fi live yuh life however yuh want it and if yuh wah try find yuh real mada then try ", she said .

"Yeah  just aguh accept fi what it is fi now.  Anyways how yuh feel bout college?", I asked smiling, deciding a change of topic would be good .

" honestly,  mi cah wait. Mi know it aguh rough cause everybody weh guh through university seh it hard bookwork wise but, mi know wi aguh have wi likle fun moments dem and as long as mi guh and focus pon wah mi guh deh fah, mi nuh think it aguh be a bad experience and plus wi aguh together ", she replied.

" right,mi cah wait either. Mi know the tuition aguh haad and stressful but, mi nuh fraid fi use up my skill dem weh God bless mi wid and help mislef and student loan deh deh to but, that aguh be mi last resort ".

" and at least yuh aguh guh far fron which eva mad man a stalk yuh".

" hopefully,  cause him tun mi life inna one whole heap a crawsis ", I said. Mi spend the rest a the day wid mi best friend as eh two a wi read through wi email weh wi get from UTEC and talk bout college and which and which class wi think wi aguh have and then mi lef around 5:30 inna the evening and by then night did a come dung and even though Mickayla and har parents dem tell mi fi stay until eh next day mj decide fi guh home because mi neva bring nuh change a clothes wid mi plus mi neva inform mi parents dem beforehand.

I left her house and walked to the taxi stand where I waited for a taxi that could take me home . I was waiting for around 10 minutes when a black Axio stopped at my feet and the tinted window rolled down to reveal Trish's boyfriend Tray. I instantly stepped back away from the car , wondering why he had stopped,  especially since Trish no longer spoke to me and I am presuming he knew that .

" wah eh problem? Fawod man, mi cah drop yuh home . Eh betta yuh fawod than fi stand up out yah suh by yuhslef a wiat pon taxi " , he said as he looked at me .

I looked at around , the sudden loneliness of the bus stop dawning on me . Night had fallen fully and otherwise from the streetlights that led back through the neighbourhood,  there was no other lights or persons at the end of the street where I was standing underneath the bus stop.

"Call or text yuh parents dem if that mek yuh feel betta . Yah mi girlfriend best fren and mi know she wouldn't wah mi fi lef yuh yah suh if she did in yah wid mi", he said and so I texted my mother that I was on my way home and got into the back passenger seat .

He started driving and I sat uneasily in the backseat of his car, my phone in one hand as I watched the road stretched infront of us . Sumuh bout this neva feel right but, mi neva wah stand up and wait nuh longer out a the bus stop by miself.

I directed him to where I was going and couple mintues before we got to where he was supposed to turn off on the right, he instead took a left which was a gravel road lined with trees on both sides and no streetlights.

" wait deh , weh yah guh? Yuh did supposed to turn right not left", I said trying to keep the panic out of my voice .

He chuckled,  the sound low and unsettling,  " Relax man , a just sumuh mi aguh pick up and then mi drop yuh off " but, my stomach tightened as I clenched my phone , every nerve in body told me that something was wrong .

Suddenly he slammed the car into park and hit the locks  and my pulse skyrocketed , instant panic took over as I fumbled with my phone my hands shaking but, when I looked up I  found myself stearing into the nuzzle of a gun.

" gi mi yuh phone " , he said and I handed it to him my whole body trembling.  Tossing it into the the glove compartment,  he said ,

" mi hear seh yuh nuh easy . Seh yuh always a gwaan like seh yuh shirt cah mek patty, like yuh too good fi deh look pon man but, mi know how fi humble yuh. Yuh really believe seh Trish like yuh ? Seh she even gi a fuck bout yuh ?"

I was breathing so hard my stomach hurt and I swallowed, fighting the tears .

" Tray please , mi nuh do yuh nuhun. Mi deveen know yuh and mi swear if yuh just mek mi guh , mi will walk eh rest a eh way guh home , yuh nuh need fi do this . If a Trish tell yuh fi do this then tell har mi sorry,  mi neva mean fi anything fi happen to har cousin...", I stopped when he laughed.

" shut up, yuh sound like wah fucking ediot a talk bout mi woman and mi nuh need fi do this. Yeh Trish tell mi fi kill yuh rawse and mi aguh dweet , yuh fi thank God a mi to because a she did aguh kill yuh but, mi tell har mi will tek care a it , anything fi my woman but, mi nah guh lie yuh look good stillz . Yuh eva get fuck yet Bria ?"

I fought the urge to gagged as he spoke beacuse the smell of alcohol was strong on his breath. Without taking my eyes off him I reached for the door handle and tried to unlocked it but, he was faster. He climbed  over into the backseat on top of me , burying me underneath his body and everything snapped inside me .

I fought like hell, elbowing him , scratching at his skin, and kicking wildly as he tried to pin me down , while still keeping his grip on the gun.

" tap eh bloodclaat moving likkle bitch!" , he seethed as he pressed the gun against my head and I froze instantly . He sat on top of me and i turned my head away from his face,  not looking up at him .

He then started to unzip his pants and that's when adrenaline drained out the remainder of my fear and I slammed my knee into his groin , hard .

" yuh bumboclaat !" , he shouted as he doubled over in pain . I took the opportunity to elbowed him in his nose before grabbing my bag and climbing over into the driver seat and unlocking the door . The cold night air brushed my face as I tumbled out onto the ground,  the hard gravel scratching my skin and poking into me.

" Bria ! " , he roared my name as he scrambled out of the car after me but, I was already on my feet , running into the darkness , feet pounding against the gravel as I dove into the thick bushes on the side of the road . I ran until my lungs burned , branches clawing and scrapping against my skin , the coldness of the night air making sweat clung to my skin making me damp.

I ran until the only sound I could hear was the frantic pounding of my heart and the distant angry cursing of Tray searching for me . I eventually emerged out onto another road and seeing a house at the end of the street, I ran towards the gate . Gripping the cold iron bars I shook it hard , calling out for help and a man and a woman emerged within mintues , with a girl who looked to be about my age following behind them.

" Jesus Christ ! Daniel call eh police ! Wha happen to yuh likkle girl?" , the woman asked as she unlocked the gate and looked me over in shock and confusion.

" help mi please , smaddy a try fi rape and kill mi. Please call mi parents dem , mi have dem number " , I said between tears of relief and shock.

" ok, ok, tek it easy calm dung . Come inside.  Daniel yuh call dem yet? , Latoya get eh backle a alcohol , and eh first aid kit" , she said as she led me inside the house and guided me into their living room .

Her husband Daniel,  was busy talking on the phone to the police and  her daughter went searching for what her mother requested. Couple mintues later and the police had arrived along with my very concerned and panicked parents.

The policed questioned me and I explained what happened and then they left to go to Trish's house while I was taken home by my parents who thanked and compensated the couple who had helped me .

In the morning I was told to come down to the station so I could give my statement and my mother took me since my dad had to go to work. My best friend Mickayla also accompanied me because she stated that enough was enough and Trish had gone too far .

Down at the station I was taken into an interrogation room and asked to repeat my story and then the officer informed me that at the moment they haven't been able to find Tray nor his car but, that they are searching for him and they have also taken Trish's phone in the meantime so they could search it for evidence  and also to prevent her from communicating with Tray .

We were finished and leaving the station, walking back to my mother's car when Trish came out of the station and headed towards me .

" how much more yah guh tek from mi Bria ? Fus , yuh mek smaddy kill mi cousin and him mada a falla behind him out a grief fi har son who fah body dem still cah find and now yah guh tell lie pon mi bout how mi set up mi man fi rape and kill yuh?", she asked fuming with anger.

Immediately my mom stepped infront of me as she said , " Trish doh eva pass yuh place and disrespect my daughta.  A lock dem fi lock yuh up inna prison because fi such a young girl ,yuh too damn bitter and wicked. Mi a lef yuh to God mek him deal wid yuh case but, mek mi tell yuh this and yuh try mek it regista inna yuh brain. When yuh si mi daughta pon eh left yuh tek eh right and doh eva try nuhun like this again because next time mi aguh figet seh mi supposed to a lead wah church " and Mickayla continued,

" har mada cah seh it because she affi be respectful to God but, yah wah hateful , bitter,  sad likkle bitch , you likkle gyal . If a neva one thing mi tell eh police dem fi investigate yuh rawse cause a must fuck yuh did a fuck yuh cousin mek yuh suh desperate fi blame Bria fi wah happen to eh likkle future rapist. Go kill yuhslef likkle waste , sad gyal and yuh betta thank God seh mi best fren alive yuh hear ? Because a woulda flatta yuh backside " , she said fuming and even I was stunned at that but, I appreciated her for defending me.

Trish turned and walked back towards the station,  a look of anger and pain in her eyes and I left with my mother and Mickayla not, knowing that at that moment the devil himself had dealt me the justice I deserved .
