Chapter 1
P.O.V da Aurora
Acordei sobressaltada por uma dor aguda no meu lado, meu corpo inteiro parecia que tinha sido atropelado por um caminhão em alta velocidade. E não demorou muito para que a dor de cabeça lancinante me fizesse gemer de dor.
Tentei mover meu corpo, mas o som de vidro se mexendo sob mim me fez parar. Pisquei, meus olhos se ajustando à luz fraca e ao cheiro de álcool e miséria. Não demorou muito para eu perceber que estava deitada no chão frio da sala, com cacos de vidro espalhados por todo o chão.
Meu pai...
Ele tinha estado em casa na noite passada...
‘Sua vadia!’ A voz do meu pai soou nos meus ouvidos, alta e muito arrastada, uma garrafa vazia de uísque nas mãos. ‘Cadê o dinheiro? Eu sei que você trabalha naquele restaurante idiota! Me dá o dinheiro!’
‘Eu não tenho dinheiro,’ eu tinha choramingado, tentando parecer corajosa, mas nós dois sabíamos que era tudo uma fachada.
‘Mentirosa!’ ele tinha berrado enquanto me empurrava com força no peito, o impacto me fez cair no chão. ‘Não ouse mentir para seu pai, sua vadia!’
‘Eu não estou mentindo, eu prometo!’ Naquele momento, não tinha conseguido impedir quando ele me levantou do chão puxando meu cabelo. ‘Por favor! Você está me machucando!’
Mas minhas palavras caíram em ouvidos surdos. ‘Vira.’
‘Eu não tenho dinheiro, eu juro!’ Eu tinha insistido apesar do meu corpo tremer violentamente enquanto ele procurava meus bolsos de forma brusca, meus lábios tremendo incontrolavelmente até eu morder com força o suficiente para fazer sangue. Mas isso não o impediu de vasculhar meu quarto, sem se importar com minha privacidade.
Ele encontrou o dinheiro, dentro da capa do colchão, um total de trinta e cinco dólares que eu tinha recebido como gorjeta no restaurante depois de horas de pé.
‘Sua mentirosa!’ Desta vez, eu não vi a garrafa vindo em minha direção.
Mas eu senti o impacto do vidro na parte de trás da minha cabeça; ouvi-o quebrar no contato. Minha cabeça girou; ficou dormente de dor enquanto pontos negros dançavam diante dos meus olhos.
Ele jogou a garrafa meio quebrada no chão ao meu lado, me fazendo estremecer, como se ele não tivesse acabado de abusar de sua única filha. E então ele saiu de casa, levando minhas economias da semana com ele, sem se importar que eu e seu filho pequeno não teríamos nada para comer pelo resto da semana.
Agora, pisquei para afastar a sonolência e coloquei a mão no topo da minha cabeça, segurando um grito de agonia quando senti a dor aumentar como se uma agulha tivesse sido perfurada no meu crânio.
Lágrimas escorreram pelo meu rosto enquanto eu me sentava no chão, olhando para a bagunça ao meu redor. Eu precisava limpar isso... Eu precisava garantir que não houvesse vestígios da noite passada no chão, na casa inteira...
Eu não podia permitir isso... Eu não podia permitir que Riley descobrisse o quão ruim tinha ficado.
Levantar do chão exigiu um tipo diferente de esforço. Meu corpo inteiro tremia e doía, me fazendo perceber que meu pai pode ter me chutado mais depois que eu desmaiei.
Uma risada amarga escapou dos meus lábios quando percebi a extensão da crueldade dele, mas o que eu podia fazer? Meu pai não escondia o ódio que sentia por mim, e o tormento só aumentou desde que minha mãe faleceu dando à luz ao meu irmãozinho, Riley.
Eu me levantei com os pés trêmulos, minha cabeça girando com o esforço enquanto tentava ao máximo não pisar nos cacos de vidro quebrado. A dor era aguda, mas eu aprendi a reprimi-la. Não podia me dar ao luxo de deixá-la transparecer.
Riley. Ele estava seguro. Escondido em seu quarto, protegido onde não podia ver nem ser visto. Eu não suportava a ideia de ele presenciar tudo isso novamente. Eu quase podia ouvi-lo chamando meu nome, perguntando se estava tudo bem, se eu estava bem.
Mas eu não estava. Nem perto disso. Mas como eu poderia dizer isso a uma criança de cinco anos? Como eu poderia compartilhar minha dor com alguém que mal entendia por que tudo isso estava acontecendo?
Voltei para meu quarto, mordendo o lábio para não gritar de dor. O chão estava frio contra meus pés descalços, e eu dei um passo cuidadoso em direção ao banheiro. O espelho refletia um rosto que eu não reconhecia—olhos inchados, cabelo emaranhado, lábios rachados. Minhas mãos tremiam enquanto eu ligava a água, jogando-a no rosto. A frieza não me acalmava; nada mais fazia isso. Mas eu não podia ficar assim.
Eu precisava me mover. Eu precisava continuar por causa de Riley. Pelo futuro dele.
Depois que a água fria fez seu trabalho, tropecei de volta para meu quarto e revirei a pilha de roupas velhas na cômoda, encontrando algo minimamente decente para a escola. Uma camisa simples, jeans velhos e tênis. Eu não tinha tempo para fazer compras há meses—meu pai se certificava de que eu não tivesse nada, e até as roupas que eu usava eram de segunda mão, compradas em um centro de doações. Não importava. Eu as vestiria e seguiria com minha vida. Eu tinha que fazer isso.
Porque se houvesse qualquer chance de sair desta cidade horrível, deste bairro terrível... então eu aproveitaria todas as oportunidades que pudesse. Por enquanto, eu precisava terminar o ensino médio e garantir que ficasse longe de problemas o máximo possível, porque meu pai já tinha causado o suficiente.
Enquanto me vestia e olhava para o espelho, a imagem refletida me horrorizava até mesmo. Eu parecia pálida como um fantasma, mas o hematoma escuro na minha bochecha precisava ser coberto. Eu já era uma aberração na escola cujo pai era um jogador e um bêbado. Não precisava anunciar ao mundo que estava sendo abusada também.
Então eu usei a única base que consegui comprar numa loja de um real para cobrir o hematoma. Não ajudou muito, mas fez o trabalho.
Olhando no espelho uma última vez, coloquei meu melhor sorriso, como se pudesse me enganar de que tudo na minha vida não estava desmoronando, que eu não estava prestes a desmoronar por completo...
Era em momentos como esses que eu desejava desesperadamente que minha mãe ainda estivesse viva, que ela não tivesse me deixado sozinha neste mundo, para cuidar de uma pequena alma que eu jurei proteger até o fim.
Mas eu sacudi esse pensamento da minha cabeça. Minha mãe se foi, ela está no céu agora, segura e feliz... longe dos tormentos do homem que ela amava desesperadamente, e que agora se transformou em um monstro.
Por quê? Era uma pergunta que eu me fazia mais vezes do que podia contar. Mas eu sabia que as respostas não viriam.
Por que minha mãe teve que morrer tão cedo?
Por que meu pai de repente se tornou esse viciado em jogos... esse alcoólatra... esse... monstro?
E mais importante... por que ele me odiava tanto?
