Emeli

Chapter 7

“where were you” Marko asked as he handed me a drink. “I went walking in the garden it looks lovely by the way” I said. “did you notice your favorite flowers” he asked? As we are walking through crowds of people to get to his main table. “the Lotus flowers” I said. “yes thank you that was cute and very thoughtful” I said as I patted him on his chest. “I’m going to go check on the girls” I said. “alright” he said than kissed me on my forehead. I took the elevator to the girls room. 

I walk in they are knocked out. Tiffany, Alice and Nellie are on Alice’s king size bed sleeping. They are too cute, I turn off the lights the big lights and turn on the night lights. A smile came across my face. the girls got new lights. Their sings above the bed that spell out their names Marko is always doing something special for them. I close the door and head down stairs.  I bump into Renna. “hey girl you look adorable” she says to me then Ray comes up behind her. “hey girl” he said as he gives me a hug

. “hello, Ray” I said. he holds Renna’s hand they are a cute couple not perfect but they certainly are a strong couple. “we are heading out I'll come back in the morning for Tiffany” she said. “oh don’t worry about picking her up I'll bring her home I’m going to my parents house I'll pass your house on the way” I said. “okay thanks love you girl text me” she said as we hugged good bye. The party ended at 3 in the morning. I’m changing out of my dress and I’m so tired.

 Marko texted me saying come to his room. I roll my eyes and reply. In ten minutes.  I put my hair up in a pony tail my phone vibrates again. I look at it it’s Alexander. What are you doing? I pick up my phone and text him back. Getting ready for bed hbu? I put on gray sweat pants and a orange fitted t-shirt. I’m about to go to Marko’s room. headed to bed myself just wanted to say goodnight. I smiled and replied, it’s good morning ;]. Then I turned off my phone and went to Marko’s room. “yes” I said. “come lay with me” he said patting his bed.  I smirked, “I’m going to bed” I said. “no let’s talk” he said.

 “talk, you never want to just talk” I said. “Emeli” he said. I gave in and laid next to him on his bed. “how’s school” he asked? “fine” I said. “what’s wrong with you today” he asked? “nothing” I said. “are you mad about earlier” he asked? “you don’t understand, that I can’t be with you if I have to live this lifestyle” I said. “Emeli it’s not that bad” he said. “not that bad” I said as I jumped up out of the bed. “your father smuggles drugs, degrades women by selling them into sex trafficking and kills people for an everyday job none of that is okay at all in fact it’s illegal” I said. I look at him with disgust because he truly believes that all that is okay. He just looks at me waiting for me to say something else. “well” he said. “well” I said mocking him. “girl don’t play with me” he said. “shut up Marko”  I said then turned around to walk out he got up and grabbed me by my wrist, “let me go” I said. “no” he said.

 “Marko your hurting my wrist” I said trying to wiggle my wrist for it to come out. “Marko seriously let go your hurting me” I said. “your not leaving me ever just remember that” he said staring me in my eyes. his father walks in the room. and starts yelling. “Marko soltó ella en este momento” he said then Marko did has he said and let go of my wrist.  I looked at it there is are bruise going around my wrist. I look up at him he snaps out of his blackout. “Emeli” he said trying to get to me his dad stops him. “don’t ever put your hands on the mother of your children” his dad said having him up against a wall. I’m in the bathroom looking at my wrist it hurts so bad. I hear a knock on my door. I sniff and hold back my tears. “come in” I said. it’s Messeco. “Emeli Darling” he said. “yes” I said. “let me have a look” he said. I put my wrist out and he examined it. Messeco has a the education to be a doctor.  “Bella I’m sorry, this will never happen again” Messeco said. “your right about that” I said.

 “can you move your wrist” he asked? “it hurts” I said. “he get so mad and blackout I don’t know why” I said. “wait this isn’t the first time he put his hands on you” his father asked? I stay silent then look down. “oh that boy, Emeli dearest get some rest” he said. “I actually want to go home, take the girls and go” I said. “Bella there sleeping, how about you go home, in the morning I'll make sure I bring them too you” he said. “okay” I said. “alright” he said then hugged me. I left and went home  . Then next day  I was up with the girls. “Tiffany, Alice, and Nellie girls time to go” I said. I’m taking the girls to Renna’s house for a little I have to stop by my job than swing by pick the girls up and head to my parents for the family dinner.

[Trinagle] I’m in the backroom doing inventory then Alexander sees me he starts walking towards me. “great” I mumbled under my breathe I am not in the mood, even though he didn’t do anything. “hello cutie” he said  I don’t turn around I just stack the shelves. “Emeli” he said. “yes Alexander” I said. “what’s wrong” he asked? “nothing” I said. then I drop a bottle and it cuts my wrist. “damn it” I said as I move towards the sink. “let me help” he said. as I’m washing the blood. And my make up that I brushed over my bruise washes away. “I got it” I said. “Emeli, what the hell is that” he said as he held my arm. “nothing” I said. “sweetie that’s not nothing” he said.

“Alexander something you don’t have to know, we don’t go out, were not an item or friends so just stop and drop it” I said as I stormed out the room. “well damn” he said.
