I sat on the couch. Something told me Naomi wasn't going to work. I couldn't really do anything about it because I couldn't leave Jade here. I see Jade stumbling her way inside. I get up helping her to her room.

I lay her on the bed. She looked so sad. "Why did dad hurt us?" She asked, slurring her words and her voice cracking. Tears were falling from her eyes. I couldn't help but feel bad. I wiped her tears away and held her tight. I knew she was suffering but there was only so much I could do.

She kept mumbling things to herself and crying. I tried to calm her down as much as I could until she fell asleep. I covered her with her blanket and watched to make sure she was okay. I still wondered if Naomi actually went to work or if something was going on.

I turned the TV on in Jades room. She shifted in her sleep. She was hurting as bad as I was. We suffered the same shitty childhood. All three of us did. We were all broken from it.  I lose myself in my thoughts and begin to doze off to sleep.
