Chapter 11:

Everleigh nodded her head, Danielle "baby you need to tell mommy the truth. Your big sissy told me what you told her", Everleigh covered her ears and closed her eyes, Stefania "is she okay", Danielle "just give her time, she gets like this a lot", Stefania "but why", Danielle "she's hiding all of it inside of her", Stefania "is she gonna be okay", Danielle "Eve, I need you to tell me if your daddy's been hurting you. If he gave you these bruises, you need to tell mommy", Everleigh "he was mad. Really mad, he started throwing things all over the place", Danielle "did you know why he was mad", Everleigh "I spilled something, and made a mess trying to get myself something to eat because he wouldn't feed me", Danielle "so he hit you", she nodded, Danielle "what did he hit you with", Everleigh "belt, sticks. He hit me with anything he could find. Mommy I don't wanna go back with him ever again", Everleigh started busting into tears, Danielle picked her up, and consoled her. Stefania "do you want me to get her some water", Danielle "sure, that would be nice", Stefania left the living room, Danielle "has daddy been hurting you every time you go to his house", Everleigh "yes, mommy I don't wanna go back to his house. I don't want to go back there. Please don't make me go back to his house mommy", Danielle "I'm not baby. You don't have to ever go there again. I promise you that", Stefania "are we gonna tell the judge about this. This is no joke", Danielle "I know. Thankfully I already left the case worker a an email", Stefania "good. How are you feeling princess", Everleigh "I'm okay. Can we watch a movie", Stefania "sure baby girl. What do you wanna watch", Everleigh "can we watch monster house", Danielle "what's that", Stefania "you don't know what monster house is", Danielle "unfortunately no I do not", Everleigh "mommy it's a movie where this house has a secret about it. You just have to watch it", Danielle "okay let's watch it then", Stefania put the movie on, Stefania "Evie do you wanna join us", Evie "what are you doing", Stefania "we're watching monster house", Evie "I'm coming", the four of them watched the movie together, just enjoying some quality family time.

Evie Monroe, no words to even describe how well and how proud I am of you. Late night practices, and long trips to competitions are worth it when I get to see you shine on that stage, and do what you love. I remember when this became a more serious hobby for you, your always gonna be mommy's little acrobat, you're talent is always a joy to watch and experience with you. You did so well performing this solo, I am so happy for you. You an amazing dancer, i love you my girl. Me and mama are so proud of you. 1st place in one of the hardest competitions ever.

Danielle "okay, two first place winners. We need to celebrate the two of you. This is so amazing", Evie "thanks mom", Danielle "seriously we are so so proud of the both of you", Evie "thanks mommy", Everleigh "thanks", Stefania "where should we go", Danielle "how about out for ice cream", Stefania "that sounds like the perfect way to start off this celebration", the four of them headed to the ice cream shop.
