Please enjoy!I break away from the intense stare, a blush gathering on my cheeks. I let out a strangled thank you. Peeking out from behind my eyelashes I see Harper blink his eyes a couple of time like snapping out of a trance, I look away while he rises, he gives me a soft but confused look before leaving me to be with my thoughts. I hear the soft click of the door signaling I'm alone, I let go of the building breath which has seemed had gotten stuck in my throat. I wince in pain when I settle my feet against the cool hard wood, I feel my soul has taken a great amount of pain these days I've spent with my foster parents. I slowly drop to the floor looking under the dusty bed post finding the only precious item connecting me to my old life. A necklace with a heart threaded to picture of my mother before everything changed, I bury this special picture against my chest while I feel the vibrations of my dread fill within the thin walls of my room. I want to scream and cry but I have no fight left in me, no tears, instead I fill my mind with my old locked up memories of how my friends would always make me laugh before the horrible day when I found out my mother was murdered. My father is someone I can't remember well since he walked out on us when I was only five, that is a day i'll never forget..,
Flashback
"Mommy when is daddy coming home?" I smile cheekily towards my mom as I wait for a reply. My mother always gave me that same tired smile. "D-daddy should be here soon baby girl" she replays as fear took over her face "What's wrong mommy?" My confused self asks and that's when I get my answer. I hear the door slam open as my mother shields my body,a disheveled drunk walks through the door taking a chug of the whiskey in his hand, he stumbles forward "Oh look what we have here, my tramp of a wife and a little brat" he slurred as he took another swig. I cower in fear clutching my mother for dear life. He smiles sickly "Those vows I said were just lies sweetheart, your just a tramp I come home too while I go out and fuck every sexy woman unlike yourself" he sneers looking at my mother with pure disgust. I feel the sobs that rack her body as she steps forward screaming liar over and over again like a broken record. I run to corner drawing my knees to my chest as I watch in horror as the man I used to call my dad, steps forward and backhands my mother do hard her head turns "Shut the fuck up! I'm tired of listening to your bullshit!" He takes the whiskey in his hand and smashes it against the wall so close to me I scream in terror. My mother falls to her knees touching the spot where he had slapped her, with that he storms out of the house to never come back.
I'm motionless when the thought comes to an end quickly placing the picture in its usual spot before limping to my bed and just laying there frozen.
Maybe I've done something wrong and I'm being punished for it, I breath deeply before closing my eyes my mind wandering to a dreamless sleep.
--------
I wake up feeling the sun beam against my eyes, groaning I push my arm against my eyes falling into complete darkness again, until I here a scream which made my eyes pop open wide. I push myself up with my elbows quickly limping toward the closed door, I open the door my breath catches in my throat when I make down the stairs, the sight I see is horrific, which has my skin crawling in its own pile of fear...
