Chapter Sixteen MTW‼️‼️‼️

Mia

I finish my cleaning and then shower once again, go into my bedroom and saw Leah just laying there playing video games still. I smile softly and lock the door behind me. I didn't want anyone who wasn't Leah or the kids in my room tonight. I didn't have the energy for that. I wanted to be just with her. I grab my tv remote and turn on mario cart so I can race Leah. She swears she's better then me but, I beg to differ.
We do this as I then looked out the singular window in my bedroom and saw the cars pulling in. I could already tell it was going to be one of those long nights. I wanted to keep Leah as distracted as possible. I heard them play the music and I could hear things I didn't want Leah to hear. So, I hand over her headphones. After our match, she had finally fallen asleep. I just smiled and kissed her temple. She looked so pure and innocent as she slept. I wish she would stay like that for as longas possible but, it killed me to know that wasn't our reality. It never has been and never would be.
This little girl was worth my time. She was the girl I would sacrifice my life for her. I have been through enough to know that she didn't need this. She didn't need the voices in her head. I would get up and change into my baggy T-Shirt and then get under the covers that Leah had kicked off. God, she was burning up. She wasn't sick, she just slept hot. I didn't understand how she could do that but I was the complete opposite. It was hard for me to sleep. I wasn't the best at it and had a lot of nightmares. I was just terrified that something might happened to Leah or any of the other kids. I know Liam would be okay because he wasn't afraid to fight back and considering my aunts kids could never do no wrong, I wouldn't imagine what they had done. Then again, she let them get drugged up. Then blame it on me when I wouldn't join them.
I would never do that to myself and I would do everything I could to break this fucking cycle. I don't want a relationship like theirs. I want a family some day. I want children of my own. Yes, I may have raised Leah and a little bit of these kids myself but, it wasn't the same. Yes, I wanted a future for them the way I wanted a future for myself. Would I even survive that long? I doubted it.
Once I fell asleep, I would get this feeling of someone kissing my forehead. I looked up and rubbed my eyes. "Shh. It's okay. Just breathe." I looked at the male. He slid his hands over my breasts. I guarded them, making an X with my arms. I then felt a sharp sting on my face. He hit me. I couldn't make out his face but, he hit me and then groped my boobs once more. I didn't know who this man was. I had no clue. "Please, stop. I don't want too." He had to be in his forties. I would just cry as he then slid his hand down. "It'll be okay." I would cry some more but then Leah started moving and he dipped. He ran out my room. I don't understand how he got in considering I had locked the door.
Then, I noticed there was no lock. I just silently cried feeling dirty. I then immediately texted Jaeden.
'Hey you up?'
'Capital letters. Uh oh. What's wrong? Are you okay?' He replied.
'I just need someone to distract me. Can you call?'
'Yeah, of course."
I let out a sigh of relief. I then pressed his contact and called him. We remained the whole night talking until he told me he had to shower. I just laughed. He said he had just came home from work. That was mildly concerning. We talked about how the fight went. He mentioned his opponent was some scrawny kid, shorter then he was, and how he was fast but got knocked on his ass. I congratulated him when he told me he had beat him to a pulp.
I wanted to ask questions but didn't. It felt weird to do so considering that fighting at a club wasn't a normal occupation. After our phone call, I fell asleep.
