The Story of Boomer Fierce

 

It all started sometime in around 1984-1985. A man [ Sam also known as Father, Age 36 ] and a girl [ Rachel also known as Birthmother, age 16 ] met and seemingly fell in love with each other. They later married, but the responsibilities and commitment of marriage didn't stop Rachel from trying to be free. And like most typical teenagers, she spent her days at the beach with her friends. When she wasn't working anyway. A drop-out from High School who had obtained her GED instead, working in management at a Hair Salon. Sam didn't like the idea of Rachel running off all the time, so he decided they should have a baby. This would surely slow her down, or so he thought. December 12th 1986, in Ocala, Florida, Tomi [ Not the real name, but will be used as such ] was born. This is her story, of life as she knows it...

Before the age of one, Tomi was often dropped off at a daycare, whilst Rachel would go off to the beach with her friends. Tomi would return quite often bruised and mistreated. Her body showing bones making her look much like an anorexic baby. Diaper rashes from the lack of changing, as it wasn't done much more than once per day. Father knew very little of taking care of babies, and was actively lazy with such things as heating milk in a bottle for his only daughter. Instead giving her black coffee and cola. Something that would probably lead to a great deal of her future insomnia. Birthmother however was no better, as Tomi was left alone on the beach one day, allowing time for an army of fire ants to crawl over her body, biting and stinging. Eventually a doctor threatened to have Tomi taken away if something wasn't done to fix her health. It was around this time that Sam had met a woman by the name of Lori, who was living with her sister Lucy [ Lori had two sons, Dennis & James ]. Sam had been doing work on Lucy's home [ As he is a contractor ]. Instead of a daycare, Tomi was left with Lori, who nursed the babe back to health. Feeding her properly and making sure Tomi would have a nice plump baby tummy.

A week before Tomi's first birthday, her parents divorced. Tomi's father earned custody, as he claimed to be dying and wished to be with his daughter for what little life he had left. Rachel had already threatened to sell Tomi off. The judge felt it would be more fit for Tomi to stay with her father, and Rachel only allowed visitation rights. Sam and Lori got together at this point, and were to be married April of '88. They lived in Dunnelon, and Rachel lived in Miami. On Tomi's second birthday, Rachel had asked to take Tomi home with her to spend the day there. Sam didn't like this idea at all and slammed the door in her face. Rachel wouldn't be heard from again for a long time. Sam would soon decide it was time to move where Rachel couldn't find him and Tomi. So the move to Connecticut was made.

It was a farm/ranch of sorts. Couple horses, and a cat named Mudpie. It was Tomi's third birthday when she was brought out to pick a puppy of her own. He was named Brutus, and Tomi loved her little puppy. She would bring out her plastic toy pans and fill them with milk for the little pup. It was all she could really remember of being on the ranch before her father would chose that they'd have to move again. In Tomi's older years, her father would lie to her, explaining that he brought Brutus to a good, happy home. The truth was that he left the horses, Brutus, and a little kitten that Dennis had taken in. They moved into a Condominium Complex in Southington. Queen Terrace. Like most complexes, there was a resident pool and park nearby. At the age of three, Tomi experienced many nightmares, inducing insomnia. Too scared to sleep, all she could do was scream and cry. This however, wouldn't be the worst of her problems. One day at the public pool while no one was around, Tomi's father was to teach her about swimming. Instead, he took this opportunity to put his hand on the top of her head, and push her underwater. Holding the helpless youngster under, in an attempt to drown her. His plan failed when he realized Lori [ Who Tomi know considered her only mom, as she had no recollection of Rachel at this point ] was heading over with her camera. He promptly let go, and Tomi emerged from the water, coughing and choking for a bit. Lori would never know that she was the reason Tomi didn't die that day.

Tomi was now at the ripe age to go to school and was fortunate enough to have a mom who was teaching her to read, write, and do math by the time she was four. Her father on the other hand, wanted more from her. He wanted her to be a doctor or lawyer, forcing terminology and law books on five-year-old Tomi. Yes, he expected a five-year-old to be capable of reading these advanced books. Tomi wanted nothing more but the please her parents, so she always tried hard to do what she was told. The same year, she met her very first best friend, Gina. Gina was only just turning six herself, and went to an entirely different school. They were friends nonetheless. And even though school was hell even in kindergarten, Tomi tried to make the best of things. Her parents even got her a Pomeranian, who was also six years old, but not the best choice for a child. He was more her mom's dog than Tomi's. Sometime around the age of seven, her father decided they needed to move again. She would lose her best friend, and everything she knew from growing up in Connecticut.

They moved to Kernersville, North Carolina, in an apartment complex. The school there seemed to be more advanced than the school she had left. The kids there had started multiplication and cursive writing in second grade, and Spanish since Kindergarten, whereas Tomi's old school didn't even offer a Spanish class. Sam being racist had called the school and had Tomi removed from the Spanish class. This was the teacher's lunch time, and so Tomi was given extra work to do instead. The teacher wasn't much better, as she used to teach sixth graders and decided all the kids needed to have every subject for homework every night. Homework normally wasn't finished until 1am, and Tomi would fall asleep about 3am, then woken at 5am to get ready for school again. It was almost amazing she didn't collapse. Of course, Tomi also fell under the grips of pneumonia. She had then died for a short time. About to be pronounced dead, she sprung back to life. Mom already feared the worst as back medical history of Tomi being in the hospital on many occasions didn't help. Her asthma had gotten to the point that she needed an inhaler. Not too longer after, Tomi moved again, to Randleman, North Carolina. This time in a house on an acre of land, that her father was renting. It was there that Tomi would meet Michael...

By age nine, Tomi had taught herself to build a moped out of scrapped parts from the junkyard. And her being adventurous didn't help. This lead to her jumping off a ramp on a roof. She had to jump and tumble off the moped as it crashed into a tree, due to her miscalculations of where she would land. Not that any of that bothered her much. What worse than to later go into an abandoned building, only to discover dead bodies. Things she never told to the police and probably should have. Tomi had quite a fear of getting involved in things that had anything to do with law enforcements. Probably due to the numerous occasions her father ended up in jail, including one she was told involved him and a 16-year-old girl that he fondled and was arrested for. The whole reason they had even moved was due to the fact her father was cheating on her mom. But mom loved Tomi and wasn't going to leave her alone with him. Tomi became more unfortunate as to find a baby's skull in the woods not too long after the bodies. Her view of human kind altered more and more, until she joined a church. A van would pick her up Wednesday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday night. Sometimes on Thursday nights as well. Church was the only time she was remotely happy with living in Randleman, as school was even more hellish here. Although after the death of Sonny, Tomi had found a Dingo mix puppy stranded in the street. She took it home and named him Sammy. Sammy was a really awesome dog, but often got lose and ran about the neighborhoods. Until Michael's father threatened to shoot Sammy if he ever caught the dog in his yard again.

Ah Micahel, Tomi's best friend for close to two years now. He was twelve, and had a younger brother [ Bill ], seven going on eight. Michael would change Tomi's life forever...

It had to be a free day off school, when Michael had asked Tomi to come over to his place. His parents were gone, which wasn't unusual, as most of the people in the neighborhood worked. What Tomi thought would be a normal day, was nowhere close. It was in his room that Michael would attack Tomi, tying her wrists together, and holding her down on a couch. His brother shutting and locking the bedroom door. Michael pulled out a knife and told Tomi not to scream. He sliced her t-shirt down the center, revealing her chest. She was only nine and not even close to puberty yet, so her breasts weren't developed. This didn't bother him any, and he continued on by cutting/ripping part of her jeans off. Tomi had no idea of what was going on, but she was scared, and didn't want to be there anymore. Michael didn't waste any time pulling off his pants to reveal a very large penis, something Tomi wasn't used to seeing at all. She screamed and cried the moment he plunged into her virgin walls. Michael still holding the knife decided the best way to shut her up was to slice across her chest. The blade cut close to her right nipple, and down all the way to the other side. Blood began to poor, and tears streamed down Tomi's cheeks. She screamed again, earning yet another cut across the chest, under the first. Michael would end up doing this once more, leaving three cuts that looked as if a monster had slashed her with its claws. When that wasn't enough, he pulled himself out, and sliced across her womanhood, blood flowing everywhere. Her memories recalling Michael calling blood a nice lube, as he began to fuck her again. His largeness making it unbearable as she was much smaller compared to him. Bill was getting angsty, wanting a turn to play with Tomi's womanhood. Only eight, but just as messed up as his brother. Michael pulled himself out and forced himself into Tomi's mouth, making it incredibly hard to breath. Her sinuses were already blocked from all the crying, and now she was choking on blood and cum. Bill played with the blood on her pussy lips, finding it enjoyable whilst Tomi only found it painful. It may have only been minutes, but it felt like hours. Tomi just wanted to die. She hadn't realized that she managed to get the ropes lose enough to slip out, until Michael was exhausted. She took this opportunity to slip the rope off and dash for the door to escape. She had made it out his bedroom door and out the front door, running as fast as she could towards the woods, hoping to not be noticed so she could get home safely. Tomi didn't get far before Michael reached his front door, shooting her in the right leg. He didn't dare chase after her as she continued running regardless of the bullet lodged in her leg. He didn't need more attention in case someone had heard the commotion. Tomi ran and ran, getting a bit through the woods before she tripped into a muddy ditch and blacked out. Some time later, she awoke, covered from dried tears, cum, blood, and now, mud. Tomi didn't want anyone to know what had happened, especially not her mom. She took a piece of broken glass and pulled the bullet out from her leg after cutting enough to dislodge it, then taking her socks and wrapping it around the wound. It was hard for her not to scream in agony from it all. Her body was aching all over, and she was exhausted mentally and physically. Trudging home, she managed to sneak in, knowing Mom would be busy cooking or working on her arts & crafts upstairs in her work station. She grabbed some fresh clothes and an old backpack to ditch her torn, bloodied clothes into, then rushed into the bathroom to clean up. Tomi could only think the best method to keep her from screaming was to have a shower and a bath combined. In fact, it'd be better to make a bubble bath in case Mom would come in to check on her at any point. After cleaning up, and getting into fresh clothes [ One of the first times Tomi wore all black, knowing it'd be less likely to see the blood if it soaked through ], she ditched the backpack into the woods, and forced herself to walk as normal as possible so her mom wouldn't catch on to something being wrong. Tomi was at least smart enough to rub medicine on her wounds and wrapped herself up with some bandage wrapping, stuff they kept due to how clumsy she was. Even if she limped now and again, it wasn't something entirely different than if she had been clumsy and crashed one of her bikes again. The idea of having the cops involved didn't please her, nor did the idea of her Mom worrying about her. They were already having it rough as Mom was disabled with an immune deficiency labled as Hypogammaglobulinemia. What used to be a rare case of less than average antibodies to protect the body from illness. So for a time, Tomi kept herself strong and didn't let anyone know the horrors of what happened to her. She managed to dodge any trouble in school, considering gym was only once a week and a few times she made the excuse of wheezing from her asthma and not wanting to risk an asthma attack. It was too bad, as she was the fastest runner in school, even if she couldn't prove it. The last time she tried, she had been pushed to the ground by one of the bigger kids, right next to the finish line.

Tomi's parents divorced that year. Social services even talked to Tomi, asking whom she wished to stay with. Her father being a lying bastard over the years, and never home, well, Tomi made the choice of staying with Mom, the only person who loved and cared for her. And it was so, father was not allowed anywhere near Tomi. This didn't stop him from trying. He had managed to get a knife to Tomi's Throat, threatening to kill her. If not for the neighbors calling for the police, God only knows if he would have gone through with it. Instead, her father took off, and she would never see him again. He was now wanted in three states. Connecticut, Florida, and North Carolina. Tomi had no desire to see him again, but she wasn't sure how to feel. Her Mom assured her it would be okay to still love him, but she doesn't have to like him. It was when Tomi decided that hate was too strong a word to use, and she would avoid using it unless she really felt need to.

Tomi had four dogs before the divorce. One of which was actually one of the neighbors, but the dog loved Tomi, and knew it wouldn't be mistreated with her. Tomi had even taken in a beautiful pure white cat whom she named Precious. So Tomi had Sammy, Sasha, Cookie, Valentine, and Precious the cat. Sammy however... got all three female dogs pregnant, and in the end, there were thirty dogs in the house. The last of the litters being Cookies lot. It wasn't long til Tomi had to move, and so Mom rented a U-haul and they managed to travel all the way to Florida with thirty dogs and one cat. They moved in with Aunt Lucy and Gram [ Grandmother from Mom's side ]. Gram had Alzheimer's, however, Tomi was the one person Gram recognized, even if the last time she had seen her, she was only five. Gram had lost a ton of weight, couldn't walk on her own, and wore diapers. She also had bruises on her from Lucy punching and slapping her whenever she couldn't walk. Lucy had absolutely no regard for human life. All she wanted was the money from the social security checks she received for Gram. Tomi's life would only get worse from here. Living on Mom's disability and social security checks weren't easy. $700 a month wasn't much to live off of. Mom couldn't get any of the thirteen+ prescriptions she needed, nor her IVIG she had every four weeks to keep her alive. We were living in the country on five acres of land, where Lucy had three crazy German Shepards that were incredibly vicious and kept in separate cages in the garage. She also had chickens, about eleven cats and a lamb whom she named Baby. Lucy took charge, and decided not to allow Tomi to go to school, nor have friends. Instead, she would be forced to work. Tomi was only ten at this point in time, but Lucy didn't care. Starting from 6am and ending by 11pm, Tomi would work hard to clean the kennels, feed the animals, and give them fresh water. She was forced to wear a sweater in the hot Florida heat, in order to keep a bit more clean. Why? Oh, she was literally cleaning shit for the most part of her day. At the start of the morning, Tomi would get dressed then head outside without breakfast [ Whilst Lucy ate a large breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, toast, and sometimes other things as well ], and start filling pails with water. She carried the heavy pails across the yard to the kennels to give the animals fresh water. Then she would tie up all the animals separately and give them their own bowl of food until all the animals had eaten. When that was done, she would take a couple of different tools that would help her shovel shit off the cement floors and into a bucket, which once it was full, she would carry five acres down and dump it. When that was done, she would be forced to walk to the nearest grocery store, which was three miles away. Lucy refused to just drive her, so Tomi would walk the three miles, get a 50lb bag of dog food, amongst other things, then carry it the three miles back. If that wasn't enough, she would then have to repeat her morning process of fresh water, feeding, and cleaning shit. It would be about 11pm by the time she'd finish, then she'd hop in the shower and be given a slice of bread to eat for the day. She wasn't allowed to have much more than that most days. Insomnia still a major problem in Tomi's life, meant even with all that hard work, she didn't pass out until at least 3am every night. She was worked this hard every single day. Even on her 11th birthday. She was not allowed to even have a cake for her birthday. Mom was sick and unable to afford a present for Tomi, but in a way, Tomi already had a present. One of the puppies from Cookie's litter had been a runt. He ironically was named Lucky. He was the only puppy Tomi was allowed to keep in the room herself and Mom slept in. Lucky went everywhere with Tomi, and was quite large by her birthday. He had grown into a medium-sized dog, and even though his hips were previously dislocated, all the walking he did with Tomi helped. He became an extremely healthy pup, and would sleep next to Tomi on the bed every night. Tomi adored Lucky, even through all the stress of work. Lucy would make constant threats of having Tomi taken away if she began to fail in her work. Tomi already suffered the consequences of getting sick. The day she got really sick and was barely able to work, Lucy decided to poison two of the dogs. Tomi watched as two of her beautiful grown pups had faltered and passed on from the poison. Lucy then forced Tomi to put the bodies in large garbage bags, bring them five acres down, then dig a hole to bury them in. Tomi attempted suicide as she began to bury the two dogs. Unsuccessful, however, she decided she would stay alive, if not for herself, for Mom. She had to stay strong for Mom. Tomi had already taken the job of calling every real estate agent in the newspaper, looking for a place they could afford to put a down payment on so they could move away. In fact, one day she told a real estate agent about how they could barely afford food. The agent took it upon herself to have food sent over to them. Lucy was angry with this, and claimed she didn't want her neighbors seeing this [ Even if we were in the country where the nearest neighbor was quite a bit aways ]. She then threw all the food in the garbage. Tomi would not be allowed to eat for a while...

Christmas seemed like a time of blessings for Tomi that year. Normally Christmas wasn't much, other than having a tree up, and spending time with Mom, as they couldn't afford to really celebrate. Grandma from father's side sent Tomi a check for $25 that year, and Mom wanted to cash it so they could have food for Christmas. Christmas eve, they walked for miles looking for a bank that was supposedly open. Miles and miles of walking. Unfortunately, we got there too late. The bank was closed. So they started the long trudge back home. They stopped to rest at a Hardees. Tomi starving and exhausted. Mom pulled out the last of their money and told Tomi to get herself some food. Tomi wanted mom to be able to eat too though. Before Tomi could budge, a family of four came over to them. A mother, father, daughter, and son. The mother looked at Tomi and gave her a box of chicken with mashed potatoes and biscuits. "Please, take this food, and have a Merry Christmas!" It felt like a miracle. If that wasn't amazing enough, a man approached Tomi and handed her $20, then walked away saying "Merry Christmas!". Then a third miracle happened. Another man stopped and gave Mom $20, and when Mom explained how far they had walked, and how tired they were, the man offered to drive them home. Tomi would eat that night. It was a happy Christmas even if she did have to work, even if she was exhausted. She at least had Mom, and now she had food as well. Lucy kept taking money from them as it was. It came down to Tomi having to sell her playstation to a man at a gas station near the grocery store. Enough to get two packs of cigarettes for Mom, and a 50lb bag of dog food. Tomi had always considered herself last. It was just the way things were, and she accepted that.

Seven months or so had passed before Mom had gotten the strength to get them away from Lucy. They had to drop the dogs off at the humane society who put most of them down due to lacking room in their facility. It was hard for Tomi and Mom not to cry. Tomi however still had Sasha, Lucky, and Precious. They took a U-haul and moved away from Lucy. However, they had nowhere to go. So for a time, they lived in the U-haul...

Finally they ended up in Connecticut, and moved in with Tomi's cousin, David, in his small apartment, with his dog, Rocky. Tomi felt the need to teach David how to go about buying a house, so that there'd be more room, and the dogs could have a backyard to play in. So David bought a house in New Britain. They all moved in, and a room was getting set up for Tomi to eventually move into. Yet again, life threw her around. Donna, oh what a bitch. She had tried to force Tomi to work when she had the flu. Mom yelled at Donna and was no longer friends with her. But with David and Mom arguing all the time, David decided to be a total asshole and let Donna move into what was supposed to be Tomi's bedroom. Donna then decided to get Department of Children and Families [ DCF ] involved by saying that Tomi was being physically abused by her mom. All of which was a lie. They believed her though, and when they discovered Tomi was sharing a bed with her mom, they threatened to have Tomi taken away unless she got her own room within a week. Donna was kicked out and Tomi moved in. Donna had been a very filthy woman who wet her bed a lot. Removing the wet mattresses was disgusting enough. Thankfully Tomi didn't have to sleep on them. Over time Tomi had started Homeschooling, before DCF had even been involved in her life. She was close to her high school diploma, but DCF decided to take it all way. They forced her to drop homeschooling and go into public school, so they could earn money for their case. They had messed up so badly, that they lost her school records and Tomi was forced to be in Eighth grade instead of Tenth. The depression of it all was killing her. If that wasn't bad enough, Tomi managed to get mononucleosis. The schools were just.. so very filthy. She wasn't even sexually active. Granted she was dating a boy online, but that was online, she wasn't kissing him or anything of the sort. Yes, Tomi had become a bit of a computer geek, as that and music kept her sane...

Sane for a while, but it got so bad that she tried to overdose. She managed to burn a whole in her stomach as a result. Only the acid of Cola could help her digest food properly now. Tomi would drink it for almost every meal, or else suffer from a lot of stomach pain...

Tomi had to put up with her cousin Jimmy [ David's brother ] living with them for some time. He would use her computer to download porn, and then complain whenever she was online since she was on dial-up at the time. She was thankful when he finally left, even though her computer broke down and she lost all her work. One of her little cousins decided to burn her paper copies of books she had been writing, and then pour juice into her computer so that it couldn't turn on ever again. Tomi tried so hard not to snap. DCF was already bringing her to court trying to prove that she was mentally unstable so she could be put into a mental institution. It was only going to mean more money for them if they won the case...

At one point, Mom ended up in the hospital, most likely from all the stress that DCF induced upon them. It was around this time that David took advantage of Tomi. He had already been forcing her to download porn for him on his own computer, as he knew very little about working computers for himself. One day he had brought Tomi into his room and turned on one of the pornos, then forcing Tomi onto his bed, taking advantage of her womanhood. This would be a continuous thing for Tomi for a very long time. She was too scared to tell anyone, nor find a way out of it. DCF would only make life even harder if she had informed them. There were already too many threats of being taken away from Mom, the only person she trusted in her life. Tomi had already been in a foster home for a short time due to DCF. She was forced to do chores, and wasn't allowed to sleep much while she lived there. Mom refused to eat til Tomi was brought back home to her.

Mom made it back out of the hospital after some time. There were still money issues. Living off $700 a month just didn't seem to be enough for two people to live by. Rent was $400, plus there were other bills, then trying to buy food with whatever was left over. At the age of thirteen, Tomi had taken it upon herself to budget the money. She was sixteen however when Mom ended up in the hospital again. Slightly beforehand, Tomi was forced by DCF to see a psychiatrist. She had met the woman once, for thirty minutes, and was given three prescriptions even though the psychiatrist knew nothing of Tomi's medical history. Two of the meds caused Tomi's spleen to swell, and the Prozac caused Tomi to become an angry person who punched the walls and broke glass on the floor all the time. Counselors already made things worse by telling Tomi that her Mom was a disgrace and wasn't a good mom at all. This ploy however was something used by DCF so they could tell the judge that Tomi was refusing her meds. Tomi had dropped out of school on the day of her sixteenth birthday, hoping to make them drop the case, but they refused and said they could be involved til she was twenty-one years old. In January, 2003, Mom ended up in CCU [ Critcal Care Unit ] with a tube put down her throat, into her chest, to pump air into her lungs. They had to cut a hole into her throat in order to place the tube in. She would be put into a drug-induced coma during this time. Tomi paid the bills herself, and made sure she took care of everything. She informed the hospital of all thirteen+ prescriptions Mom was on, the dosage, what they were used for, etc. Gave them the names of all of Mom's doctors and what they specialized in. Made sure she even got her IVIG for her Hypogammaglobulinemia. Amusingly enough, Tomi knew more about the condition at age twelve, then the doctor Mom had for it. Tomi made it a point to learn everything she could so maybe one day she could help Mom get better. She wanted to get a good job [ She had started looking for work at age thirteen, even with school, starting with small art commissions ], and one day buy a house on the beach like Mom always wanted. All through this, David took even more advantage of Tomi, as it was the perfect time with Mom gone and no one else there to protect Tomi.

Almost two months had passed when Tomi ended up back in court to continue her case. The judge seeing that Tomi had kept in contact with her lawyer, had been paying the bills, and even made sure she presented herself that day, made her see that Tomi was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. The judge then told DCF to stop feeding her bullshit. DCF would have to come up with another tactic. The same day, Tomi had decided to head down to the hospital, as she was told Mom would be awake for a short time. She desperately wanted to see Mom, as David refused to bring her any other time, and the walk was already hectic enough. A blizzard was going on outside, and the snow was knee deep on Tomi, but she was rather short, so it would be. Trudging through the snow, she got rather lost and had walked over 25 miles til she finally found the hospital. First thing she did was run into the gift shop and spent the rest of her money on a little bobble-headed dalmatian dog to give to her mom. When Tomi got upstairs, the nurse made her wait an hour due to a doctor examining her. By the time Tomi was allowed in, Mom had been given a shot to go back to sleep. It was too late for Tomi to see her mom awake. She tried not to cry, and she held her mom's hand, whispering "I love you, everything will be alright...". She left the little bobble-headed dog on a shelf nearby so if Mom woke again, she'd know Tomi had been there.

By March, Mom had recovered a bit, and had the tube removed from her throat. She was unable to talk, and her body was weak from so much inactivity. It made communication difficult between Tomi and Mom, but they managed enough. Mom was moved to a new facility in a hospital that was a lot closer to Tomi. Close enough that Tomi rode her bike there every day to spend time with Mom and help with her physical therapy. Sometimes Tomi would buy her mom's favorite chicken kiev, and put it in the flood blender with corn and mashed potatoes which oddly enough was an awesome mushy food. Mom wasn't allowed to eat solids, so this idea was perfect for her, and it meant less of the hospital crud. Mom was still scared though, that Tomi would be taken away. She had thought only two days had passed at first, not months. Mom signed herself out early. It was April by then, and Mom was forced to have nurses visit her every week, and given an oxygen machine as well as oxygen tanks. Tomi would take care of her at home from now on.

Only a week had passed... Randomly one night, around 3am, Tomi opened her mom's bedroom door and whispered "I love you...". Tomi was woken by David at 11am, telling her to wake her mom because the nurse was waiting outside. Tomi opened her mom's bedroom door. The room felt cold, and wrong. Tomi knew something was horribly wrong, and she was right. Mom's body was cold and stiffening. Tomi quickly walked out of the room, looked at David, and could only utter "She's dead", a look of shock on his face whilst she continued to go and get the nurse outside. By the time she got to the door, the nurse had already been taking off down the street in her car. So Tomi called her stepbrother James to inform him, and then called an ambulance, as she hadn't been properly thinking to do so beforehand. She sat on Mom's bed while she waited, and watched as blood flowed on Mom's pillow from her mouth. Her eyes were closed, and her body so very cold. Tomi wasn't sure how to feel. She could only feel numb. Paramedics arrived and Tomi watched as they put Mom's body on the floor, sticking a tube down her throat, and needles everywhere trying to get her to come back to life...

12:25pm, April 13th, 2003. Mom is pronounced dead at the age of 51.

Tomi watched as they put Mom's body in a bag and carried it out to a hurse outside. She helped plan the funeral, as she knew Mom better than bother her stepbrothers did ]. Made sure there was a priest, and that she would be cremated. Mom wished for her ashes to be scattered upon a waterfall, but Tomi was told it was illegal to unless you found someone who owned a waterfall and would allow it. James would get Mom's urn, being the eldest. The funeral was about $5,000, and the state was supposed to pay half, but refused when they found out Mom had a car. One of which she did not purchase with any of the money she got from the state. Yet another burden that would be placed on Tomi's head. The car was purchased by David because they had been without a car since after the divorce, forced to walk everywhere. The state would force Tomi to have to pay for the bill or given them the car. Tomi already had to worry about a few thousand dollars her father owed to the state. After the divorce, she had been told she would have to pay her father's debts. It was one of the reasons she was unable to really keep money. She owed money for her father's actions, and now for the death of her mom.

One last court hearing. Due to Mom's passing, DCF dropped Tomi's case. Tomi would continue to live with David, who was now her legal guardian as no one else wanted her. The rapes would continue, and she would stay in silence... She would also break up with her online boyfriend of five years, as she just couldn't bear being with him anymore. She barely trusted men as it was...

At seventeen, Jimmy moved back in, along with his youngest, Justin, who was 13. Both drug addicts, who also smoked marijuana. Jimmy was an abusive man, and the as much of an asshole that Justin could be to Tomi, she still took it upon herself to protect him. Jimmy would try to hit Justin with his belt and Tomi would get in the way, taking the beatings. Justin also learned that Tomi didn't get high like most people. When she breathed in pot, her brain ticked in an all different direction. The last time Justin had smoked in the house, Tomi sliced her arm with a knife, allowing blood to flow down it, scaring Justin away from smoking in the house anymore...

Things only went downhill from there...

Tomi had fallen asleep on the couch after watching a movie in the living room. Normally she slept comfortably, spread out as such. Jimmy took this as an invitation, and by the time Tomi had woken up, he was deep inside her, her pants on the floor. She was so numb from the rapes from David, that she couldn't even bring herself to scream.

Jimmy would take advantage of her a few more times before Justin would inform his own DCF worker. Jimmy threatened to kill Tomi when he found out. The police came and removed Tomi from her home, and she filled a seven-page statement. Tomi moved in with Justin's mother until Jimmy was forced to move out. Tomi would return home to find one of her kittens poisoned and killed by Jimmy. She had also dropped charges as she wanted nothing to do with DCF again, who eagerly wished to be involved. The police had already refused to check for the gun in his storage space with Tomi spoke of him having one and threatening to kill her.

Things were back to normal as such... Except David would come home more often completely drunk, and what a mean drunk he'd be too. He'd pour alcohol on Tomi, then set her on fire. And a lot of days, he'd break a beer bottle and force it up into her vagina. She learned long ago that screaming and crying only made things worse. She just accepted the abuse at this point.

Online life was different though, she had an online marriage, one that wasn't particularly legal, as she had fallen in love with someone. A girl no-less. It was this girl who made her realize she was bi, not straight. Made her willing to express it. Tomi was completely under the spell of love... Until things were broken off because the girl was in love with someone else. Tomi was heartbroken, and decided to stay out of relationships, with men and women. She didn't want the pain of heartbreak again, and she already felt it wasn't right to be involved when she was being sexually abused constantly in silence. Even though she had a major crush on another girl who had gotten engaged and it was much too late to get involved with her...

Tomi had many friends online, who knew very little of her offline life other than the fact she lived with a jerk named David and that she liked to make cards for people in the hospital to cheer them up. They didn't even know about the rapings, or the many times she cut herself, wishing to die and get it over with. She couldn't even afford her prescriptions after Mom passed. She had no medical insurance now, nor money coming in. All she had left was the net, and her loving dog, Lucky, as well as the other animals that surrounded her, including two little kittens she had raised since they were two hours old. Their mother had abandoned them after being chased away by a dog. Tomi took on the job of waking up every two hours in the night to make sure the kittens were fed and cleaned. They both grew into beautiful healthy cats.

Thanks to online life, Tomi's best friend Tenchi got her into wanting to play World of Warcraft. So November 2005, Tomi purchased her own copy, and joined Malygos. She created a hunter named Boomerfierce, which would soon change her. Friends on WoW began to call her Boomer, and the name stuck ever since. Tomi chose to disregard her real name, and asked to just be called Boomer by all her online friends.

Boomer...

Boomer was soon the guild master to a guild by the name of Dues Lo Volt. She managed to get the members to actually get in on runs, and she eventually got into raiding. It wasn't long before she met Mespaz, the hunter class leader for Veterans of the Phoenix [ Vets or Vop for short ]. She then met Plaguel and Gemmy, the two GM's of the guild. Deus Lo Volt merged with Vets, and later when Mespaz switched servers, Boomer took over as hunter class leader. Boomer would later meet people whom were considered part of "The Melbourne Crew", all of which were people that knew each other offline in Australia. The members of Vets were already quite a lot like a family for Boomer. It was the family she couldn't have offline. Even when she had found her birthmother, whom she was told about by her father when she was nine, before the divorce. Rachel had even purchased a plane ticket for Boomer to visit, but then canceled out at the last minute, breaking Boomer's heart. Boomer just felt no love offline.

She was on constantly, almost 24/7. Boomerbot was one of the nicknames she earned, before she was promoted to be an officer. The only time she wasn't online, was when David would decide it was time for her to get off so he could be pleased. Through the rapes now, all she could think was how guilty she felt being offline, when people online might need her for something. She had stopped caring for herself long ago.

It wasn't until David decided to poison the food that things got gradually worse. Boomer stopped eating, afraid she would die from the poison. Her brain deteriorating from lack of food and sleep. A month had passed before a member of the Melbourne crew, as well as another cool friend, V, decided to make operation Boomernap [ She thought it was a ploy to get her to sleep... ]. V had driven 10 hours to save Boomer, even though they had never met offline before. However Boomer had to give up everything, including Lucky. She left a note, and left with V to start her new life, no longer having to starve half to death, or having to endure David forcing sex upon her. She would be free.

After two months of awesomeness with V, Boomer obtained a passport and a plane ticket, and moved out to Australia, where she met all of the Melbourne Crew. Again, she had never met any of them offline before, but they were all people she loved on WoW.

She found herself in love with Pylades, something she never thought could be possible. She still feared men for the most part, but Py made her feel safe... Made her feel loved. Boomer still struggles with nightmares of her past, but Py still loves her. He was one of the first people she ever told about the pain that David really caused. And even knowing all this, Py continues to love Boomer...

Boomer currently struggles with the stress of not having money to help her stay in Australia. She can only get a tourist visa, as a better visa option has yet to be easy to obtain for her. She has no money to afford to move back to the states temporarily so that she and Pylades can get a partnership visa, and live together in Australia, so that they can marry and live happily...

WoW is still a major part of Boomer's life. It's what saved her from an uncertain death. She's still with Veterans of the Phoenix as one of the officers, doing what she can to help the guild. And thanks to a rogueish fellow, Andro, and Py, she has her own computer to that from.

Boomer will be twenty-one this year, and this has been her story thusfar...

Life can only pick up from here, right?
