WARNINGS; hitting and forced underage drinking
You hear footsteps get closer to where you are. You couldn't move, you were frozen. "She is here." The woman announced. Your mother. "Ahhh. Well, look who is alone." Your father laughed. "Y-Yes?" You stutter. Your father kept getting closer and gave you a hard slap across the face. "Ow!" You whimper, tears falling down. "Oh shut it you wimp." Your mother shouted.
The next thing you know, big grubby hands force your mouth open and a liquid that made you gag was poured into your throat. Alcohol. He made you swallow it before you received another slap in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Someone shrieked. The bottle in your fathers hands fell and shattered on the floor. "Get the hell away from her." The person growled. You were too busy sobbing in the corner that you crawled too, holding your face in pain and trying to get that horrible taste out your mouth.
"Char, baby, it's me." Annie cooed. "Can I see your pretty face?" You slowly look up, your parents gone. "Theres my baby." She kissed your head and you instantly melted. "T-they-" "Shh, It's okay. They will get what's coming." Annie swayed side to side, calming you down in seconds.
"Here, drink this sweetheart." She handed you a glass of juice in which you downed instantly. "Thank you." You say softly, basking in her warmth. "Mama." You sighed. Your eyes shot open and met hers. She was... smiling? "It's okay. You can call me mama. I can be your mama sweetheart." You smiled widely before crashing into her for another hug.
It was silent for a bit, when you moved a bit on her lap, it sounded like paper crunching together. Your eyebrows furrow and look at her. "Have a look." She whispered and pulled out a pile of papers, signed by her and your parents. "YOU WANNA ADOPT ME?!" She nodded, tears in her eyes. "Making it official. I mean, you called me mama a couple weeks ago too so.." You were crying with joy. "Thank you mama, I love you." You kiss her cheek. "I love you more my baby." She sniffled, kissing your head once more. "What about Grayer?" You panicked. You can't just leave him. "We have joint custody. They almost never agreed but I got them too."
You couldn't stop smiling. You were going to be happy now. "I love you." You say smiling widely to your new mother. "I love you more baby."
And that is the end of this book :)
