Chapter 2: Leaving

********

After being on conscious for about an hour she wakes up and her vision is blurry. Looking over she can make out a man who's head was covered in blood. She sits up and notices that the door was broke down. Rubbing her eyes, everything becomes clearer. Rick was laid on the floor with a broken glass bottle next to him. She looks around in her dark room and sees her mom in the corner whimpering.

"Mom?"

"Oh, Nelly! Thank you lord. Sweetie come here." She says motioning for her to come over.

Her mother's face was very pale. She was very frightened.

"I had to hit him. I couldn't let the motherfucker do anything to my baby. I went downstairs and got an empty glass bottle and kicked the door down and hit him about 3 times with it. He's not dead though."

She holds her daughter close to her as the tears fall.

"Honey, I've decided that it's time for you to go out on your own. I can't let you live here in this bad environment. "

Nelly was shocked. Where would she possibly move? Her grandmother lived in a retirement which her aunt on her father's side put her in and she hates her aunt. Her aunt Kim hated Nelly and her mom. She couldn't stand to even be near her aunt Kim due to the fact that she was always talking about her mom and her drug addiction. When Nelly was 12 she fought her aunt. Nelly hit her with a bat which almost made her paralyzed from the waist down. However, Nelly did go to court but she only did a bit of community service.

"Mom, are you serious? I can't where would I go?"

"I called your friend Diamonds mom and she said you could live with her. "

Crying nelly responds, "What about you mom? You're coming too right? Please say yes. "

"No, I'm going to stay with your dad's brother, you know, Uncle Danny. He said I can stay and get myself together."

She didn't to leave without her mom. Although her mother had an addiction she still loved her like any daughter would.

"Come on pumpkin, let's pack up these bags."

She packs up all her clothes into three individual bags. Diamond's house wasn't far but to be cautious her uncle will drop her off to her house. She washes her face and puts a little make up on her bruises to disguise them. Changing her clothes into a pair of jeans and a white tee shirt she hears a honk from outside. She quickly puts on her Adidas sneakers and goes down the stairs with her mom. Before walking out of the front door she takes a good look at her home and a tear falls.

"Come on hunny. It's time to leave. "
