Thank you for being my biggest inspiration ♡
I remember it like it was just yesterday, how the world had just swallowed me whole and never asking how I was. When society suddenly made me someone I was not, but I can not blame society because I let it. It was easier for me to deceive the world and put up a facade when really all I was inside was torn apart. I mean how long could I be pushed until I broke? To my knowledge of understanding a person could only take so much, and I was not far from an explosion that could virtually destroy me. Happiness, oh how I craved for the feeling of constant joy, never ending laughter and a feeling of fulfilment in my life. Because in a blink of an eye, it had suddenly vanished, never to be found again. The final bell rang to announce the end of a school day, and for a skip of a second my heart stopped and it seemed to pick up pace. I swallowed hard thinking about where I was heading next. Home. A hell built with the walls of heaven. Lets just say I was meant to be Aurora Hellway instead of Holloway. "Rora! Do not forget we have a girl's night in tomorrow." Kelsey my best friend said, her voice startled me bringing me out of my thoughts. I had not realised how empty the classroom was, "What's wrong?" She asked. I put on a smile, "No, its nothing sweety I'm just ...tired." the last word came out a whisper because honestly I was more emotionally drained and tired was the only way I could put it into words. "Come on cheer up! Let's go!" She latched her arm onto mine giggling as she half skipped down the hall out the school doors with me. Her red hair so luxurious with her curled ends bobbing up and down. She was always my bubbly little one, always finding a way to make me smile. I was glad she was my best friend from the day we were born, we literally shared our birthdays and our mothers were also best friends, although I knew they had some distance between them at the moment and it was all because of him. But I had to pretend like I didn't sense the space between them. And in the same way I tried to ignore the pain that was inflicted onto me by him, some people may call it analgesia-the numbing of pain- but honestly, in more ways than I thought possible, his ruthless actions had got to me over and over again. Kelsey snapped me out of my thoughts once again, "I will see you at my house tonight for a great supper." She said poking me I couldn't help but chuckle at her cuteness. "Yeah! I'll catch you on the otherside hope Aunt Jess makes something yummy." And besides I needed a cleaner environment than my own home. She hugged me very tightly that I almost couldn't breathe."Ah Kels ..I can't breathe." "Oh sorry." She blushed. If I didn't know my best friend that well, I wouldn't have realised that she was giving me her comfort hug."Bye Rora. " she said blowing a kiss walking towards her car. I smiled and waved and as soon as she drove off, I dropped the smile. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and suddenly my vision got blurred bh tears that slid down my cheeks involuntarily. How long could I keep this facade up? I didn't want to lie to Kelsey anymore. I had lost who I was and every passing minute was a step away from finding me. "Come on Aurora, you can do this, don't let him break you." I breathed wiped my tears and looking up hoping they'd crawl themselves back inside my eyes. I got inside my white AMG Mercedes car and I started driving myself back to hell.
Flashback

I was only 8 when he decided to change on my mother and I, and I didn't understand why he would do something like that. He started resenting us, the love in his eyes as vague as water in a desert. He had suddenly drained all the love in the tick of time and It happened so quickly it was a dizzy nightmare. "NOOO! RICHARD! PLEASE DON'T!" my mother screamed in her room. I clenched onto my heart thinking my heart would climb out as tears started prickling my eyes.What was happening to my mother, I had never heard her sound so desperate and scared. "SHUT UP ELIZABETH, YOU'RE A VULGAR WHORE WHO DESERVES NOTHING!" I heard something breaking against the wall. I was so terrified I felt like they needed me. "Mommy!" I screamed banging on their door not being able to reach the door handle. "Runaway my princess, daddy isn't well okay?" She sounded like she was sobbing. I wasn't going to leave her and daddy who was sick so I carried on banging on the door. "Riiichaard! ! Nooooo! !" I was scared now. "Daddy leave her alone please!!" I screamed. My knuckles aching. The door suddenly opened, and I was so happy to see that my dad didn't look sick. But I could sense his anger and disgust, it rolled off him and it was making me a bit nauseous. His eyes were pitch black. He needed my hug to calm him down , he always did. I hugged him so tight never letting go off him, my heart going at 360 I loved him so much. To my surprise he grabbed my turtleneck dress behind my neck, lifting me up in the air, "Daddy...I-I love you...I'm your princess remember?" My voice was strained against his strong grip and his hunger to kill me was so vivid in his eyes, the hatred was breaking my heart and I was struggling to breathe but I needed to know, "Wh-why d-o you hate me daddy? You said you lov-loved me yesterda-----" "SHUT UP AURORA! YOU'RE A NOBODY LIKE YOUR MOTHER!" I was terrified my lungs hurt and my sobbing was not softening him up. What was happening to my daddy? I didn't understand, "D-Daddy p-p-p-plea----" He backhand slapped me across my face. I couldn't see properly anymore I felt a liquid trickle down my nose. "Richard stop it!!! She has nothing to do with this!!" He immediately dropped me, and the oxygen set my lungs on fire and when my vision cleared, he was punching and kicking her in the stomach. I was screaming for him to stop but he wouldn't. I heard my mother's rib crunch and she coughed up blood. I threw a vase at him, and he shook it off as if nothing had happened. He turned around and he dragged me by my hair, down the stairs and he threw me into the room. Breaking my arm in the process. "Daddy! Daddy! Please!!! I still love you!! Daddy! You're my prince remember? Prince's make mistakes too.Daddy please!!!" I was banging against my door and he didnt come back. I was sobbing so much the metallic liquid taste in my mouth seemed normal.I blamed myself for what was happening to my parents because I couldn't save them and it was my job to do so. I wiped my bloody nose on my white scrunched dress as I went to my window seat and got on my knees looking up to the full moon.
"Dear Moon Goddess, I am sorry for not being able to protect my mummy, please protect her for me because daddy is going to hurt her. I know it's my fault he hates us, I saw it in his eyes, I am sorry. I would rather die for my mummy than to see her go, make her feel better soon and teach daddy how to love again. Please remind him that I'm still his sleeping beauty, his favourite princess and tell him not to hurt my mummy because I love her and I know he still loves us both. Don't worry about my broken arm, I'm a strong girl, that's what my daddy always tells me."
