Esmeray and her Mother sat on the floor, cross legged. Eating spaghetti hoops, in a paper bowl. A small candle lit up the room, making the room shine yellow. Stone bricks on the walls, and light grey cemented gravel on the floor.
Her house only had two rooms, the bedroom, kitchen and living room, which were merged into one, and the bathroom, which had a toilet and a faucet attached to the wall, a red bucket next to it.
Lilly had gorgeous black hair, like Esmeray. Straight, white pearls and a heart of pure gold.
"No silly! Of course we can't get a pet dolphin." Laughing at her 9 year old daughter. Her Mother's name was Lilly Vera.
A grumble could be heard from her Mother.
"Mummy are you hungry?" She said pointing at her Mother's stomach.
"N-No darling, I'm quite full." Her Mother said putting a reassuring hand on her daughter's shoulder.
She was in fact not full. She hadn't eaten in 2 days. Only drunk water. but the tin of spaghetti hoops were only one portion. Splitting it would mean they would get 10 each. Lilly didn't want her daughter to worry. Lilly didn't have a job. She relied on her husband, a little too much.
When Esmeray was finished with her food, she climbed into her Mother's lap, hugging her and eventually dossed off. Lilly's eyes closed too. A loud bang on the door was heard and Lilly gently lifted Esmeray off of her lap and placed her onto a blanket. Lilly walked towards the door.
A man, with a grey hair and beard, brown eyes wearing a red checkered flannel shirt.
"You're nothing! You're worthless! That stupid child of yours will never be my child!" Arthur Vera yelled at Lilly.
"Honey, please, just calm down, Esmeray is sleeping." He scoffed. His breath reeked of alcohol. Arthur would come home nearly everyday drunk barely being able to walk.
"What? Do you think I care about that thing over there?" Pointing at the sleeping child. Lilly tried her best to never argue with him, it would just make the situation harder.
"Honey please, you're drunk let's just go to bed." Arthur's hand rose and hit Lilly's cheek. He had just slapped her. Tears pricked in the corner of her eyes.
"Don't even think about following me. I've cut you off all my cards and my will! You're no longer my wife! you're just a stupid bitch!" He said grabbing a beer bottle and slammed the door.
"Mummy? What's going on? where's Daddy going?" The now awake child propped herself up onto her elbows.
"He's going to work precious.. Go back to sleep." Lilly walked up to Esmeray planting a kiss on her forehead.
Esmeray fell back asleep and Lilly sat awake, in the corner that night, sobbing.

"Morning beautiful." Lilly's voice broke, her eyes were a puffy red and she looked drained.
"Morning Mummy." Esmeray smiled.
