Smile The Pain Away...

Chapter 3 : Promise Me

 

Eliza POV

"ELIZA!" I heard my mother scream, I just ignored her. I finally made it to the park ; the park I shared so much with, the only place that made me feel good , wanted , loved.. I just come here when I need to get away. The bullshit.. Yeah that amazing hearted, beautiful girl at school but at home it's a whole different situation. At the moment I just wanted to cry..  How can I explain this to my mom?, she might think I'm a hoe or slut going around fucking anybody with a dick and killing babies on purpose. Never In my life I would ever think about getting an abortion nor getting over four.. I was forced. You'll probably thinking why I never asked for help? I wonder too but he threaten me.. I didn't have a choice.. How am I going to explain that her husband beats me , force me to have sex with him? I know my mom ; if I ever said something like that.. She'll believe him and ill be wrong.

"Ma Why are you crying?" I heard a familiar voice say, I looked up with my puffy red eyes to Christopher, a shirtless Christopher.. Even though I was sad and nervous what's going  to happen to me next , I see why girls throw themselves at him. Those tattoos though. nigga was sexy as hell.

" I like that smile you gave me this morning ma where it go? I don't want to see you crying.." he spoke again with a soothing tone. I wiped my eyes and let a sigh.

"To be honest that was really the first time I smiled and it was real; and I don't know if its going to happen again with the situation I'm in." I said heavyhearted.

Chris POV

"To be honest that was really the first time I smiled and it was real; and I don't know if its going to happen again with the situation I'm in." she said looking at me . I didn't like seeing her this way; this wasn't the Eliza Williams I see in school with happy faces all the time. Probably she's right..

She basically faking them.

She sniffed and look up at the sky letting the wind dry some of tears that were on her cheek. "  Oh I forgot to tell you thank you for the ride this morning , you really didn't have to and thank you for making sure I was okay when I was on the ground , that was very nice of you." she blurted .

"Ma its fine I just wanted to see if you was okay.. " I smiled"  And a beautiful girl like you shouldn't be crying."

She showed a half smile then changed it .. "I cry because I deeply hate my life." she confessed letting a tear run down her face. I turned her face towards me holding her chin and wiping the tear off. " from my eyes you have an amazing life ; everybody loves you ; your very smart and cute , im not just saying these things I seen you time to time and see those things. What the problem?"


"the things I cant tell you.. Is the problem." she sighed.


"if you don't want to talk about its fine." I said .

"I want to talk about it... but I cant.. I want to tell somebody.. I cant tell nobody I cant even tell my mother!" she sobbed.

"You can tell me , I can keep a secret"

She let out a chuckle " I didn't say you couldn't. then again how do I know your not going to tell the whole school? I know how you expose people.. Especially hoes."

It was true ; I do tell people business , but she said the right word "Hoes" . I would never hurt somebody like that unless they deserve it.  And I can tell she's hurting from whatever happening.

"im not going to tell anybody , you don't have to tell me. Just promise me something"


"and that is it?"

'whatever your going through , I want you stand up for your self. don't let it happen.. Tell your mom. Do something because I don't like seeing you hurt. I like it when you smile and its real." I said even though I haven't technically talked to her before. I feel connected with her, she's different . I would fucking cuff but she has problems to be solved. And if i ever think about getting closer ; i want whatever that is going on out of her life so i could see that smile more often.


" I just have to smile the pain away.. it's the easiest thing to do. Everybody see me as that girl who's full of sunshine when really it's a tornado. But your right I should fix this.. Thanks for talking to me Chris." she smiled showing dimples.

"its nice to see you smile for real."

"but you wanna work on this assignment ; I really need some help you don't have to if you don't want to" I added

"sure , ill come over your house I have to get my books from my house.. See in a little bit?" she said

"ight ma."
