Always Hidden II

Chapter twenty-four

Michael's house
⚠️ sexual content and abuse⚠️
"Mommy" Mackenzie whined as she waddled over to Leah

Leah picked her up and held her close, she grabbed Marcus's hand and stood by the door as Michael stared at them.

"Why y'all just standing there? this is home now act like it"

"We don't have our stuff, you kidnapped us remember ?" Leah asked in a smart tone "Kidnapped you? baby, I brought my family back home"

Leah rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch
"Why don't you braid Marcus's hair?" Michael asked handing her a comb and gel "since you got a lot of unnecessary shit to say"

Leah rolled her eyes and put Mackenzie beside her "sit right here"
"Come to daddy," Michael said holding his hands out
Mackenzie scooted closer to Leah and buried her face in her arm.
"Girl comes to you daddy," he said aggressively.
"She doesn't know you Michael chill out," Leah said mugging him. "Well, who's fucking fault is that?" He said mugging her back.

Leah looked at him and wanted to stab him with the comb so bad but she kept her composure.
"Ouch mommy, that hurts," Marcus said whining
"I'm sorry baby, I need to wash your hair"

She got up and walked over to the kitchen and started the water "ask your daddy for a towel" Leah said fixing the water temperature.

Michael handed Macy's a towel and picked up Mackenzie and held her up to the sky. Mackenzie freaked out and started kicking the air. "Put her down Michael stop!" Leah yelled mugging him

"Shut the fuck up and wash my son's hair, don't worry about what me and my daughter doing," he said giving her a stern look. Leah looked at him and folded her fist.
"Fuck you gonna do ?" Michael asked her holding Mackenzie.
Leah looked away and continued washing Marcus's hair, "mommy when can we leave? I don't like it here." Marcus said with his head in the sink
"Shhh baby," Leah said rinsing the shampoo out.

Leah's eyes filled with tears and she blinked and her tears started to fall. She sniffled and whipped her tears. "Mommy" Mackenzie cried out reaching for Leah but Michael pulled her back.

"Michael please leave her alone," she said in a distressed tone.

Michael gave her a stern look and put Mackenzie down "didn't I tell you to shut the fuck up and wash my son's hair ?" He asked gripping her hair and making her head fall back.

"Stop! My kids are right here" she yelled holding on to Marcus.

"Stop telling me what the fuck to do, you hear me ?" He asked mushing her head.

Leah bit her bottom lip and made a fist. Marcus looked at her water running down his face and rubbed her arm.

"She doesn't like me because she doesn't know my ass, you took her away from me dumb fuck!" Michael yelled from the room.

Leah tuned him out and continued to wash Marcus's hair. "I need to get the fuck outta here," she said to herself. She finished shampooing and conditioning Marcus's hair she blowed dried his hair and began braiding it.

"You still got it," Michael said looking at Marcus's head "mommy use to do my hair when we were teenagers"

"Before the abuse," Leah said to herself
"What you say ?" Michael asked sitting next to her.
"Nothing," Leah said dryly.
"Stop trying me," Michael said mugging her.
Leah cleared her throat and finished Marcus's last braid "look at my handsome baby" she said smiling and giving him kisses. Marcus smiled and rushed over to the mirror to see himself "mommy I look good" he said smiling.
