Liberation.

prologue

Hope

By the time the suv pulled up to a fairly large house, my heart was already in pieces. I sat the whole journey in silence, watching the darkness around me. Bruce tried  to speak to me, but I was sure my cold glare advised him otherwise. He spoke to his stepdaughter mostly, I tried to drown out their voices.

I tried to drown everything out.

Everything but Ice.

His face covered in blood will forever be engraved into my skull.  I'll replay that picture in my mind several times a day, for many weeks that will turn into months. I loved him, I didn't think I would in such little time yet I did and I do. My first love, who's hands I've been ripped from..

"Hope"

I raised my head up, I couldn't face the ground forever, even if all I wanted was to be swallowed hole by it. My eyes met Bruce's and hardened, "your mother's are inside, they want to see you" why was he speaking to me in that way; Like his voice would break me, stupid really. I was already fucking broken.

I didn't say a word to him, I just stared for a moment. A pained expression crossed his aged face before he too looked away and stepped aside. I walked past him, through the wide door and into a huge hallway. I looked to my right where a huge archway broke out into a room I supposed, so I stepped in.

A series of gasps echoed around me, but all I focussed on were the two women standing at the far end of the room. I looked at their faces, they looked like they aged 20 years when in fact it had only been 10. Mommy moved first, her blond hair faded and messy probably a sign of how many times she's ran her hands through it. She was still beautiful even with purple eye bags and a drained face.

I stayed still as she made her way towards me, I didn't know what to do. So many feelings were going through me all at once, I was lost. She slowly reached up her slim hand and placed it delicately on my cheek, it was warm but strange.

"My little baby" she whispered as tears brimmed her blue eyes. She pulled me to her and hugged me tight, and for a second I wanted to hug her back. I wanted to pretend those 10 years never happened and we could be a family again; but my heart was far too broken, all I wanted was the boy I was taken from. She pulled away from me, her face confused and hurt. I stared into her eyes, eyes I once dreamed of seeing again. What left my lips after was a stab right in the heart. I didn't care though, I wanted them to feel what I was feeling. I stepped away from her and tears spilled down her cheeks.

"I'm not your little baby anymore".
