Chapter 2

⚠️trigger warning: slight mention of abuse and homophobia⚠️

Stefania pov-
I'd been driving for three hours now, 10am the clock read, Danielle had been sleeping the whole time often readjusting herself uncomfortably, I Sang along to our playlist softly. After parking the car in a spot just before the little station I placed a gentle hand over the blondes knee unbuckling myself, her baby blue eyes fluttered open a miserable look over coming her.

"Hey bambina, I thought we could stretch our legs for minute." My voice barely a whisper as she breathed deeply, my eyes soft as there was no response other than her body slouching. Letting out a quick exhale from my nose I widen my door rounding the car to help her, leaning over her I click the belt from around her petite body. "C'mon Tesoro mio (my treasure) let's get a drink." Lazily she nuzzles her body into mine as I close her door. I plant a soft kiss to the top of her head starting to wonder into the door.

Danielle: "can I just have water?" Barely a note escaping her voice.

Random woman: "So disgusting honestly, don't look Amelia. People shouldn't be allowed to live like that." The tall, skinny woman scoffed, I feel danielle start shaking at the memory of her father. I pull her in front of me allowing her to rest her head against my shoulder nuzzling her face against my shirt, there's a little spot of wet I feel splash against my skin, my eyes narrow at the woman who was wrestling with the smaller brunette. "It's okay bambina, you're safe with me. I won't let anything happen to you, si?" She nodded softly.

Younger girl: "Mom it's okay to live like that, it's okay to love like that! Just because you don't get how to love people doesn't mean you can comment on others love lives and quite frankly a whole community who only got the right to marry in this country four years ago and that's only in certain areas." Her voice became angrier and angrier. 'She's smart' I thought with my observation of her looking about eleven years of age. The girl smiled back at us merely as I did the same shooting her a slight nod with a comforting hand rubbing against Danielle's back. Her face still hidden.

I order our things, paid and settled us on a bench.

"Here Bella." I said passing her the cold bottle, a trembled hand she took it. I watched her lovingly whilst lightly biting at my lip, somethings wrong I thought.

Amelias pov-
The moment I fought with my mom I knew I fucked up but I couldn't just stand back and say nothing at recognising who she was disrespecting, Stefania had smiled shooting me a little nod still comforting her 'best friend', my mom paid and grabbed to the car. With the cuff of my shirt I'm shoved against the car banging  my head In the process, her face so close to mine I could taste the alcohol woven into her hazy breathing.

Mom: "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE YOUNG LADY? HM? DO NOT EVER DICTATE MY OPINIONS, THE FACTS I SPEAK TO YOU AND DONT EVER DEFEND THOSE FUCKING FAGS, RIGHT, YOU HEAR ME? BITCH!"  She yelled.

My eyes washed over but I managed to blink back not wanting to make the situation worse for myself. I exhaled swiftly as I was dropped. She rounded the car as I got in the back sitting miserably on my phone watching TikTok. My phone being dead and having nothing else to do but read I decide to pull out my book, girl in pieces, and throw myself into silent sues world for a bit before having to become Sadie for a while.

Mom: "You better not mess up today! I need you to get this money! Don't let them in either, you tell no one..." I cute her off.

"The three rules, yeah I get it. Don't mess up, get the money and don't let anyone know anything about nothing." I mocked at hearing this more than a few thousand times just within this hour. I shake my head going back to the words on my page.
