when i get home i go to the bacement and put Reaux down i put more clothes on her i put a hat, gloves,and warm things. i pick her up and bring her outside i tell her

"ok, i want you to stay here ok play in the snow' i tell her

"there ain't enough" she says

"well if you beleive there is it will happen" i tell her

"ok" she says closeing her eyes tight and reopening them with a nig smile "mom i see it'

"good now play" i tell her smiling and walking back inside

my smile quickly fades as i look at my beatuiful girl then at the drunk in my living room. i go to the kitchen, open the cabnet and grab a knife. i walk over to him and stand infront of him with the knife aimed at him.

he opens his eyes and looked at me just staring at me. he gets up grabs the knife quickly trying to turn it on me we wrestle for it he falls on top of me which makes me land on the floor with the bottle glass spread i can feel the glass on the floor going in my skin. and flashbacks or Reaux growing up.

he rolls of me when i see the blood on my hands, the knife in his chest and i know.

i won.

i get up and feel the back of my neck and pull out a sharp peice of glass and feel the blood flow down my back

i walk outside to see Reaux smiling making snow angles. i sit down by the tree and think about my life, about Reaux. i get up and walk to her and pick her up

"momma what happend" she asks in that lisp i love

"nothing we're fine" i tell her 'smiling'

i walk in the house putting her head in my sholder to not get her to look at the dead. i walk into her room and put her a backpack with some outfits and toys and snaks and ect.

i walk to my room and get just a sholder bag with a shirt and pants. when i'm done i grab Reaux and leave the house

i run over to the beat up van bukle Reaux up and get in the drivers seat i drive off.

"momma i hungry" she says

"hold on we're almost there" i tell looking at my hands whiping my face with my bloody hands
