Eye to eye, nose to nose, the menacing stare on his face lets me know I’ve than fucked up really badly. Maybe this is it; this might be my last night on earth. I close my eyes and once I reopen them, I find myself looking into my tub as water surrounds my whole head. I can’t breathe; water is in my nose, mouth, ears, and eyes. I struggle, trying to get away from Siles’ grip; but he’s holding me down by my head into a tub full of water. He’s drowning me and I can’t fight back. I move my arms and legs, kicking like a rag doll. He lifts me out by pulling on my red hair. As I am eye to eye with him again, taking a deep breath, water runs down my face and I spit out water as it rolls down my chin. “I told you, you gon’ respect me Blu.” “I am …” Before I can say sorry, he’s stuffing my head back into the tub full of water again. I didn’t get a chance to take another deep breath before entering. The longer he holds me under, the more I lose the strength to fight. It feels like forever before then he pulls me back out of the tub again.“You what bitch?”
