A hand to help.

Chapter 2; Why...?

Han heard Jay pronounce her name, was it just her or... whatever, she stopped in track and listened, she was relieved when she hears that they were just talking about the grades.

Later, as always, she took her bus to go home, she listened to music while looking trough the window, her bag at her feet. The ride lasted for about an hour until she could get home. She opened the front door... silence, as usual her mother was still at work until late and her stepfather...well he was drinking again some red wine on the couch. She passed by and tried to stay unnoticed...
He still saw her and he groaned i answer to her presence...(sympathic..)
She was about to go to her room when she felt that someone held her back quite tigthly around her wrist. She looked behind her and her stepfather was holding her, he looked bit tipsy..even drunk maybe..
She tries not be scared and she asked.

Han; yes...what ?

Her voice trembling ever so slightly.

As he talked han could smell the alcohol in his breath..definitly, he was drunk..(almost usual)

Jonh (stepfather); you got your math test results huh?

Han panicked a bit as he asked...and she replied in a lower tone trying to hide her nervousness from him.

Han; I-..yes..i had a 92/100, ..is it okay..?

Her voice was shaky...she was internaly biting her lower lips cause of the stress...
She was biting hard...the small taste of the blood spreading into her mouth...

At her answer Jonh tighten his grip on her wrist and say, a hint of anger in his voice.

Jonh; Really ? You better, child... you mother and I pay a lot for your school, dont be a disapointment.

His tone was a bit threatening at this state

She wanted to continue and talk back, but she knew it was useless, he was drunk anyway, and also cause he was drunk she always forgave his attitude and aslo for her mom sake. He broke free of her wrist, he held so tight she had a small bruise. She just obediently nodded and she walked to her bedroom.

As always after school she would study hard. She review her lessons and study a lot with her books
She studied for about three hours non stop. Han was kinda stubborn so she wont stop until she was satisfied yet the fatigue was taking its toll on her and she was figthing a battle agaisnt her tiredness.

When her mother, Carolina get home around 11pm she checked onto the house as always, she locke the front door she went to eat some rest into the fridge, after that she went to check on her daugther...entering her bedroom quietly.

Carolina found han asleep on her desk, her head resting onto her arms and she was still holding her pen. Carolina knew that han was killing herself to her studies, she was concerned for her daugther...

She carried the frame of han into her bed and lay her carefully so she would rest peacefully.

Han was deep asleep, making such peaceful dreams until she was woke up in the middle of the night by a sudden breaking noise

What was that ? She tough. Her ming still bit froggy.

Was it...a plate ? A glass maybe ?..

She decided to follow her gut and went downstairs...following the sounds...she quickly heard some yells coming from the kitchen.

She arrived sleepily into her kitchen...her eyes opened wide at the sight in front of her...
