His Star | A mafia story

Fuck you Amanda

What the hell just happened?

My brain feels like it's on overload too many things are happening at once. I tell myself not to worry about Reese because the possibility of seeing him again was low. Although I wished it wasn't. But I wasn't going to fool myself with fantasies. I know this is my reality no matter how much I wish it wasn't.

I throw my backpack on the floor and just process the house I've been living in my entire life. I was so glad to leave. This place had a million dark memories I wished to forget. I just pray that our next home is better. I don't know how it could be any worst.

I am pulled out of my thoughts and back into reality by the front door opening. I turn around quickly to greet my younger sister Ivy.

" How was school?" I ask trying to keep a normal conversation to keep both of our minds off what was about to happen. But at the same time I was curious as to what she thought about the situation. I just didn't know how to ask.

" Fine" She sighed throwing her backpack down and heading towards her bedroom like she did everyday.

" Wait Ivy, I was thinking. This'll be the last time we are here maybe we could order some pizza and watch a movie. You know end it on a good memory." I ask with a slight smile.

" Yeah, I'd like that. I'm just going to change into my pjs." She answers smiling and quickening her pace to her bedroom.

I ordered some pizza and decided to turn on Moana our favorite Disney movie. We were about twenty minutes through the movie when the pizza arrived. I tipped the guy and we ended up eating the entire pizza.

" I'm glad he's gone Lexi." Ivy says looking at me.

" Me too" I say gratefully

" I never wanted him to hurt you. He always hurt you. There was nothing I could do about it. I wanted to protect you." She explains with a couple tears rolling down my face.

" Hey look at me" I insist as I look straight into her teary eyes. " It's not your job to protect me, it's my job to protect you" I whispered pulling her into a hug.

She nods " I know you always say that, but I hate seeing you hurt."

" I know. But look I'm fine." I comfort her.

She looks at me with a sad expression but nods all the less.

" Come on let's finish the movie," I say pulling her closer into a hug.

We sat there finishing the movie while Ivy was sleeping peacefully on my lap. When I look at her I see how innocent she looks while she's sleeping. I just wish I could protect her as much as I can in this moment in time.

I was about to doze off when, I heard a knock on the door. I groan as I gently move Ivy off my lap and on to a pillow on the couch. I sigh as I am prepared for who is about to show up on my doorstep.

I open the door and decide that I'm not going to pretend to be polite. In a perfect world this fake two-faced bitch would just leave us alone. I've been taking care of myself in worst circumstances forever, I can take care of myself and Ivy now.

" Amanda" I say with no expression other than pure annoyance.

" Lexie lovely to see you again." She said with a white tooth grin. God she's faker than Regina George.

" Wish I could say the same," I retort as I walk back up the stairs and head to grab mine and Ivys bags from my room.

" I know this is hard on you, you know not being able to live in this home with your family anymore but, I'm only trying to do what's best for everybody here."

" I don't give a damn about living in this house and you know it. You know we should've been out of this house years ago, why did you let us stay?" I spat angrily. Not even trying to contain myself anymore.

" What you went through was horrible. But I really had no clue what was happening." She says attempting to fake her sympathy.

" BULLSHIT! I called you. I worked up the courage to let someone know what was happening to me. You saw me bruised with tears rolling down my cheeks. AND YOU! YOU! Left saying that this was a completely acceptable home for children to live in. Knowing damn well it wasn't." I took a long breath to try and contain myself.

" I begged you, I begged you to help me. But, you didn't then. So your not going to be able to help me now." I finished off looking her dead in the eyes with pure fury written all over my face.

" How much money did he have to pay you to watch an 8 year old grow up in a home like I had to. Huh, how much did he pay you?" I cried.

She just looked at me emotionless. She took a long deep breath in then said " I'm not the villain you make me out to be"

" That's bullshit and you know it, and one day you'll pay for the cruelty in your heart." I sighed still seething with anger.

" Please, Alexia just grab your bags."

I gathered the bags and put them in the trunk of the car then I went back inside to wake Ivy. I was so grateful that she was asleep while I was going off on Amanda. There's almost no way that she remembers Amanda ever coming to the house because she was only 3. So hopefully she can have the best experience possible in this situation.

" Hey Ivy, umm the social workers here. You ready to go? I ask soothingly.

" Yeah" She responds groggily.

I guide her to the car as she's still half asleep. We both just look out the window getting lost in our thoughts as we take the long drive to the — well I don't wanna say it, it makes us sound like orphans. We are but it's just really depressing to think about. I reach over and lay my hand on top of Ivys to try and comfort her the best I can. I know she's not a kid anymore but, I've raised her since she was born, it feels like she's my own child. I would do anything to protect her.

We pull our way up to the children's home. I am looking at the place, it obviously isn't the first place anyone would wanna be but as long as Ivys safe and we're together than we'll survive.

" Wish I could go in with you girls but, someone will be there to introduce you and show you around." Amanda said with a uncomfortable grin.

" Ivy could you get the bags out of the trunk, I'll be out in a minute." I ask politely putting on a smile.

" Sure" she mumbles as she gets out the car.

After Ivy closes the door and is out of the car I sigh then say " Fuck you Amanda" as I exit the car to follow Ivy inside.
