"Mom" India whined at Tara.
"Yes" Tara says weakly.
"I want to see dad before we leave" she frowns. April was quiet.
"You will see him" she says.
On cue Cory came in and India and April ran to him. "My princess" he smiles.
"I don't wanna go" April cried into his chest.
"Hey" he says softly. "No tears, for daddy" he says.
She shook her head, he picks them up and went and sat next to Tara.
"Come here" he says softly helping Tara sit up.
"I will be in my room" I says softly and I walked out.
After a while we all stood outside as the girls cried.
"I wanna stay with daddy and mommy" April cried.
Miss Faith slapped her "Get the hell in the car now" she yelled at the both of them.
"Please may I say something to them" Tara cried.
Miss Faith nods and she went over to the car.
•Years Later•
I knocked on the door, I stood back and Alice parents opened the door.
"Layla" they smiles and I give them a hug.
"Hi" I say softly. "I just came to drop off our gift to the twins" I handed it to him.
"Why don't you stay for the party, the twins will love it" he smiles.
"I have to get home before I get another beating. May you tell-" I was cut off by the twins screaming my name.
"Aunt Layla" they hugged me.
I hugged them back "Hey, look how big you two have gotten" I smile.
"Are you going to stay for the party" Layla asks.
"No, I wish I could I have to go home" I say.
"Why can't you ever stay the night" they ask.
"My owners won't allow" I smile slightly. I heard the horn honk "Happy Birthday twins, we love you two very much" I smile and run out the house.
"Bye bye" they say.
I get in the trunk and lay down and close it.
"I said five minutes without going in the house" Miss Jay yelled pulling off.
I stayed quiet and played with the carpet on the floor.
Soon we get home and I was dragged inside.
Everyone was doing their chores. "Go to your room now" she yelled at me.
"Yes m'am" I cried.
Jordan looked at me with a frown I go up to my room and Kyle laid in the bed weak from his beating. I wipe my tears "How you feeling" I ask.
"I don't feel so good" he says.
"I know, your getting better though" I say softly.
Kyle is 11 now. "I wanna go home" he cried.
"Kyle we've been here for over a year, this is home till something happens" I say softly. "Please don't cry"
Mandy comes in, "Aunt Jess said we have to walk Kyle to the doctors" she says.
"I don't have the money" I say.
Kyle has been in this state for weeks. She dug in her apron and pulled out money.
