~Everything you said, only made me hate myself. I could never hate you.~
~•♡♧•~
I woke up in the morning with an ass in my face. I prop myself up onto my elbows to see Maria laying weirdly. I giggle at her and get up out of bed, being careful of my foot.
I unlock the door and poke my head out to check my surroundings. I step outside and slowly make my way down the stairs. I don't hear the TV on or anyone talking. The door was left open and I'm guessing they both left at one point.
I close the door and go back upstairs and grab my phone, ordering a pizza since there's no food in the house. I sit on the bed reflecting on what has happened in the last 24 hours.I hear ruffling behind me and turn around to see Mai awake. "Morning~" she smiles at me, the shimmer still in her eye. I smile back and give her a big hug.
...
I'm sitting on the couch with the empty pizza box infront of me. I sent Maria to go bath so I clean up the place while I have the chance.
...
Mai finished and came down stairs and I put the TV on for her. I went upstairs to shower. Telling myself to hurry and do what I need just incase one of them come back...I don't want her to be alone with them.
Feeling the warm water hit my body, sent a shiver down my spine. I stand there taking up the warmth as it's pretty cold outside but the feeling of comfort and warmth soon fade due to the stinging feeling in my foot. I mean...it is the first time the wound is getting water on it.
Tomorrow's Monday so I when I got out the shower I got Mia's stuff ready to go to her grandparents house cause we cant afford to send her to kindergarten, i mean, we barely have money for me to go to highschool but i make plans. Our grandparents live 2 hours away so I have to get up really early in the morning to go with her on the bus and then still come back to go to school. A whole 4 hours. She stays there the whole week so I don't have to do it everyday thankfully. But I'd do anything for Mia..
...
Its starting to get dark outside so I find something to eat and me and Mia share it. I put her to bed and close the door behind me.
I walk down stairs wondering when one of them is going to come back. I feel the need to stay awake till one of them come back just incase they decide to do anything to Mia. I wanna be there for her when they come back.
I sit on the couch awaiting their arrival. Anxiety builds up cause I don't know what they are gonna come back like. They have a history of being physical. I have a big scar on the left side of my shoulder from my father. My mother phoned him while he was 'working' and asked for money. He got mad and took it out on me when he came home. A vase was thrown. Luckily it didn't hit my head but it still hurt alot. Recalling that incident I suddenly remembered the pain in my foot. I look down and realize it started to bleed again. I sighed and got up to go take care of it.
...
I decided to sleep in Mia's room cause i don't trust what they'll do when they come home. Especially him. Since now he knows she's not his daughter, I don't know how he's gonna react, I mean...he already slapped her. Slapped a 5 year old girl...
