Chapter 43

{Flashback}
"M-mommy?" I walked out of the closet and saw my mom.

She was laying on the floor with messy hair. She looked up at me, "Hey, dear.."

"Mommy!" I ran over to her.

Her nose was bleeding. She had a black eye and bruises on her body. She was in an undershirt and jeans.

"M-mommy, you're hurt!" I kneeled beside her. "W-where's Dad?"

"He just left for work.." My mom muttered.

"I'll be back!" I ran out of the room.

"W-wait, Y/n!"

I ran to the kitchen and grabbed ice from the freezer. I got a rag and stepped on the stool in front of the sink. I got the rag wet. I quickly ran upstairs to my mom's room.

I had the ice in the wet rag. "Put it on your eye!" I gave it to her. "It'll help."

My mom sat up and looked at me. She grabbed the rag filled with ice and put it to her eye. She smiled at me. "What'd I do to deserve such a sweet daughter?"

My eyes widened a little.

"Baby, one day, I promise you, we'll be somewhere safe.."

"Why? Why can't we just leave Dad? He hurts you!" My eyes were watering.

"I-I know... But I have nowhere else to go.."

"B-but, don't you have a mommy and dad? Th-they can help!"

"N-no, sweetie... Not anymore." She mumbled. "Maybe if I work harder at my job, I can get enough money for us to leave.."

"......Mommy?"

"Yes, Y/n?"

"Why does Dad do these things? Why does he hurt us?" I looked down.

My mom looked surprised by the question. She then looked down as well. "...There are different reasons people do these sorts of actions... Some people do it for pleasure and to feel power over others.. Most do it because they can't control their anger... But your father.. had problems of his own." She looked at me.

I looked at her.

"....He didn't have the best people raising him either, it's like a cycle..."

I then nodded and looked down again.

"Y/n.."

I looked at her.

"I want you to end that cycle.. I want you to be the person who'll stop anyone who would ever do such a cruel thing.. I want you to grow up to be someone who can be happy.. and make other people happy... C-can you do that for me?" Her eyes watered.

My eyes widened. My face softened and I nodded.

"I can do it."

{Flashback Over}
I slowly opened my eyes.

My leg and hands hurt... My head is pounding..

I slowly sat up.

Ow..

I realized I was laying on a bed.

I looked at my hands. They were wrapped in bandages.

I was wearing a white button up shirt with white pants.

I looked under the blanket and pulled the end of my pants up. I saw that my right leg was bandaged.

I moved my hand to my left eye and realized a patch was on it. I also realized some other patches and bandaids were on my face.
