I am setting some of the toys inside the tents after the program when my mom called me. I know what this is it now. I saw her reaction earlier but what can I do, Gael needs my help and Simon also said to just do it.

"Samantha, may I talk to you?" She asked me, I nodded and we went inside the orphanage, once we reached the end of the hall my mom suddenly pulled me then slapped me. I know that she don't like me performing but I never thought her reaction to be like this.

"What's that for?!" I screamed holding my cheeks, my eyes looking at her sharply

"I told you Samantha not to sing and play the guitar but you still do it!" She yells, her voice trembling with rage

"What's wrong with that?! Are you going to die if I did it?!" I screamed she slapped me again and I was taken aback on how hard her slapped

"You just listen to me Samantha! You should do the things I told you not to do! You need to respect my rules and boundaries! She pointed at me with shaking fingers.

"I am no longer a child, I am freaking twenty one years old!" I replied my voice is trembling right now as well

"And I am your mother!" Then she slapped me once more. I looked at her and I can't believe on what she is doing to me

"Mom, what's wrong in doing it?" I screamed because I really can't understand why she don't want me to sing and play the guitar

"Don't you dare ask me!" She screamed, her eyes were wild then she lurched forward pulling my hair. She really lost it! My mom doesn't care about my feelings, all she cares about hers!

"Stop it mom!" I told her trying my best to release from her grasp

"Mrs. Reeves!" Someone called from behind, my mom and I froze, she immediately released her hands from my hair. I immediately smoothen my hair and looked at the voice

"Gael..it's..it's not what you think" my mom said to him, who was visibly agitated. I could see Gael's shocked face but his dark brown eyes are piercing, as if it seemed to hold a fierce intensity.

"Mrs. Reeves I saw what I saw and I heard what I heard and I don't tolerate any further abuse to Samantha. - or to anyone for that matter" His voice was low and menacing.

"I am just disciplining her" she said defending herself, and she glanced at myself as if I am going to agree with her, but I raised my eyebrow as my irritation rising.

"Discipline? For what for playing a fucking guitar?! For singing in front of everyone?!" I shouted. I don't want to sound rude but I am so angry right now.

"Don't you dare shout at me Samantha!" She shouted once more then she glanced at Gael and closed her eyes

"I am sorry Gael if you see me like this, I am not usually this, Samantha just pushed me to my limits" then she left us. Gael immediately close the distance between us, but I step back.

"Gael you need to return. Dr. Scott might noticed we are both missing" I told him, as much as I wanted to be comforted by him, I don't want him to get in trouble, he looked at me before he pinched the bridge of his nose and went back outside

To be honest I don't want people to see me in my vulnerable state. I try to carry myself with poise and confidence, always maintaining a strong façade to hide any vulnerabilities.

I wanted that my demeanor is always composed and unbreakable, never letting others see the cracks in my armor. I guard my emotions closely, refusing to let anyone see the pain or struggles I may be facing.

I may be facing inner turmoil, but I will never let it be known, always putting on a brave front for the world to see. I am a master at disguising my weaknesses, showing only my strength and determination to those around me.
