The past
a day before the accident
🦋

As I walk into kitchen pouring a glass of orange juice

I see my mum setting the table for breakfast "Eat breakfast rose,"

"I don't want to "I replied

"You didn't eat dinner last night too"

"Don't be so stubborn" she says

"Don't act as if you care" I said with poker face

"What do you mean"?"

" of course I care about you," she says caressing my hand

Liar

You only care about money I thought as Dad walks in while Nichole sits on the table eating toast

I grab my bag to go to art class but dad's voice halts my steps

"If you meet him again, I will block all your cards"

"So be careful rose"

"If you still want to be my daughter do what I say"

"Don't be foolish" His mouth twisted into a snarl

I scoff  walking out of home

"Be a good daughter" I Mimic

Fuck him and his money

I am going to do what my heart desires

I am old enough to take care of myself

At the evening

I drew a kid playing happily in the park trying to catch his happy face in the drawing

I sighed in frustration

My mind restless with thoughts

I grab my book putting it in my bag a little kid walks to me holding a red rose in his hand

He tugs at my skirt giving me flower

"For me?" I say smiling at the little kid

"Yes" he stutters

He caresses my face

"You are so beautiful" I chuckle at his cuteness

"Who gave it to you?" I ask him

He gestures towards my back
I turn around to find Dante smiling at us

He stalks towards us bending down at the little kid height

"Thanks, kiddo "he pets his head

"Here's your chocolate" he hands him a bar

The kid giggles and runs away going back to play

I sit on the bench while he sits beside me

Without any word, he takes my hand in his while I look at the kids ignoring him

I feel a cold sensation on my wrist making ne realise he is applying  ointment  on my bruised wrist

"Does it hurt?" he says

I shake my head

"Look at me sweetheart"

"You don't seem fine" I stare at his blue orbs filled with worry

"Who were those guys who attacked us?" I questioned

"Baby in business we have to be very careful to be at the top one makes lots of enemies and they play dirty to win" he says seriously
