Broken

Prologue

Adriens POV

"Look what I found mommy!"
Exclaimed a little boy with blonde hair.

The woman smiled at her son. "What is it Adrien?"

"Its a butterfly!" The 6 year old stared at the white moth in awe. Sitting in their small garden the boy and his mother tended it with great care.

"Mommy what kind of flower do you like?"

The woman smiled. "Adrien I love any flower that you give me, but my favorite has always been the rose."

The child nodded.
The woman stood up and started to walk away.
"Are you coming Adrien?"

"One moment momma
I'll be there in a minute. I need to do something."

She nodded and went inside.
He went to a secret part of the garden where he tended all the flowers he thought we're the most beautiful .

Looking at the roses he took a some and arranged a bouquet for his mother.
Smiling. Clearly pleased with his results. He trudged indoors.

Running towards his room he began taking off all the thorns.
Suddenly there was a loud noise downstairs. Quietly tip toeing down the stairs he listened intently

"You stupid woman you are in my house. And you obey my rules!!!"
With that the man slapped the woman across the face.

The woman stood tears brimming her eyes. She took her bags and to the door.
"Then I guess this is goodbye.
Treat Adrien right." She vanished into to the night.  Never turning back.

The man slumped in defeat. That day he lost everything.
His family his wife all he had was his son.

Adrien ran up to his room and shut the door. Slowley sliding down the wall he put his hands in his face and his knees up to his chest. Quietly sobbing into his knees.

Nothing would be the same not without her. The years finally stopped.
He looked around his room and saw a note.

Tears burned at his eyes as he saw the bouque of roses lying in his desk. Taking a deep breath he said in a soft voice.
"Anything for you Mommy."
