Maly fern she's innocently naive to the world around her but when you look beyond the small frail girl you see the darkness that surrounds her and the bruises she keeps at bay so no one can pick up on her sad story.

I hear a faint voice come through the phone conveying how shocked she was to be hearing from me especially after the way I left it last time.
"I just wanted to see if you would want to get together some time I'm sorry I didn't give the right impression off it was just the shock that was all so I would like to make it up to you and at least give you a chance to explain your side of the story" I anxiously wait for and answer hoping that she accepts my proposal even though she doesn't deserve it yet she is still the person who gave birth to me she wasn't the one who beat me so I should give them a chance to tell me why I deserved that much at least.
"That's absolutely fine you name the time and place and we will be there" she said exasperatedly through the phone.
"Ok how about this weekend at my house I'll cook dinner and we can talk" I say trying to maintain a strong exterior at least I would be in control of the whole evening.
I hang up the phone making sure the line is dead before I throw it into my bag and step through the double doors of the school and just breathe in the fresh air feeling it fill my lungs setting a new feeling within me of feeling free for once.
I open my eyes to see lion leaning on his car hands in his pockets as he eyes me closely until I raise my lips into a smile and walk over to him as if he could feel that my mood had all of a sudden change, he pulled me in for a kiss I pull away feeling the air fill my lungs once again.
"I talked to my mom today and I said she can come for dinner this weekend. Is that ok with you?" I say snaking my arms around his neck.
"Of course, it's fine, are you sure you are ok with them coming?" He says searching my eyes for any obvious hesitation towards the evening and when he found none he just nodded
. "Yes, I need this just so I can have the answers I need and then I can decide if I can forgive them and if not then I can move on with my life and with only a year left in school I don't see why not" I say feeling the smile come onto my face again.
He pulls me in by the waist and just holds me close I know this is his way of telling me that he is proud of me before for what feels like the thousandth time today, he kisses the top of my head and I slowly close my eyes breathing in his scent I know it probably sounds weird but it comforts me in a way.
I walk towards the passenger side of his car as I climb in and we drive our way back home I'm grateful I started school again it gives me something to do instead of going stir crazy in that house thinking that something is going to happen I know that we are still in danger but at least we are all together so no one is alone and being a home just makes you feel like you are on house arrest at least at school there is many places you can hide and mafias don't like involving big crowds so they don't bring attention to themselves.
They would want to hit us when we are most vulnerable, which would probably be at home, I know lion thinks that I can't protect myself but I have been learning I have been having Blake teach me basic hand to hand combat and about all weapons well-being the don's wife means I need to be ready for anything.
