Masterpiece | Pushed All Over

"Hey babygirl..h-how are you?" Asked Tawni's mother, Serene Heeling who was sick and has not been feeling well for the last two years now. She had a heart problem and she was always in bed trying to live life the best way she could.

Tawni gave her mother a gentle smile before sitting on the edge of the bed. She didn't use her words at all, so it was up to her facial expression, nods, or even sometimes sign language if Tawni was up for it.

"You like working in the store with your sisters?" Serene asks her youngest daughter with care.

Tawni just nodded. It was hard knowing the fact that she could lose her mother any day now and that scared her so much. Sometimes, the thought of death got in the way of their mother and daughter relationship.

"Have you met any new people? Like friends? Or even a guy?" Serene asks wiggling her eyebrows playfully.

Tawni gave her mother a "really mom?" look.

"What? You're gorgeous babygirl and I was just seeing if you gave found a man or not. I hear there's a lot of good looking people from your sisters," Serene spoke generally.

She knew that her daughter had a very hard time making friends or even being in a room full of people. Tawni didn't like to party, or go to clubs, she would rather be at home or alone in the park for all that matter. Yeah, she's gorgeous and she knows that but being with a person was just too much. The thought of being fully committed to a person made her head spin. She didn't know if she was ever going to find love and she wasn't going to seek happiness from anybody. But then Harry surfaced her thoughts.

He is a man that she had never met before. Tawni is just generally fascinated with him and she sometimes she wonders why she is falling for a psychopath. He killed, he smokes, he's rude, he's inconsiderate, and he definitely doesn't give a fuck about anybody else but himself. That all changed when Tawni walked into his crazy life. She could read him like a book and it was so easy. Harry is a man who claims he doesn't need anybody or even happiness, but the moment he looks at Tawni it seems like he pushed all those thoughts to the side and switches up.

"You'll find someone who will love you and cherish you for the rest of your life," Serene smiles. "There is someone out there that is waiting to make your life great, and you—,"

"She isn't getting a fucking man," says a cold voice along with footsteps stomping on the wood floor, both women looked over to see Chase Heeling, Tawni's stepfather and Serene's husband.

"Don't talk like that Chase," Serene says gently.

"She's a freak and she doesn't talk," Chase laughs bitterly. "No one would want her ass."

"Chase," Serene looks him.

"What? I'm just telling her the cold hard truth so you won't get your dreams crushed Tonya," he chuckles taking a sip of his brown bottled beer that was attached to his hand.

"Her name is Tawni," Serene corrected. "And she is going to find someone."

"Whatever, I want you out of this house now," Chase says pointing to Tawni.

Serene frowned, "But she just—,"

"I said get out!" Chase yelled making the sick woman to be silent. He always grew irritated when his wife talked back after he demands something.

Tawni shushed her mother before things got worse. She planted a kiss on her forehead before standing up to her feet. Tawni grabbed her purse, but she made sure to bump into Chase on purpose before she walked out.

"So you bold now little girl?" Chase laughed following her out the bedroom.

"Chase! Leave her alone!" Serene yells from her bed, she couldn't move or get up due to the fact that she is hooked to many machines and she had a bad back.

"Shut up woman!" Chase yells as he closed the bedroom door to cut off her yelling, he then followed Tawni downstairs of their house who was almost to the door, but just before she could reach the doorknob Chase pulled her back and sent a hard stinging slap to her face.

She went flying to the marble floor, with her cheek stinging and heart racing that still gave her the motivation to stand up.

"You got a lot of nerve bumping into me," Chase growls. "You think you can run over me, huh? You think you can disrespect me in my own house?"

Tawni had no words, but the look on her face said it all. He was not her father and will never be her father, so there is no reason to show any respect to him especially since he is a drunk and an abuser.

"Change that look off your face before I do it for you," Chase threatened with his jaw clenched, he was standing right in front of the door and there was no way Tawni could just walk pass him. Do she had to try his patience to give him riled up even though it was probably a bad move.

Tawni crossed her arms over her chest and stared him down with hard eyes, not once did her face alter from the mean glare she had on him.

"Alright," Chase raised his arm to swing but Tawni ducked it just in time for him to stumble over his own two feet for being clumsy and slightly drunk. His bottle of beer smashed and that's when she made a ran for the door and she was out onto the streets walking home on this late afternoon.

Tawni hated that she had to leave her mother with that ugly bastard. She remembers the first time she met Chase, he was a sweet ole rich white man who wanted to spoil his mother and her daughters without a care, then everything went so bad.

With a slight red mark on her cheek she walked home with her head down until she got home. Just when life couldn't irritate her enough somebody was knocking on her door.

Fucking Christ, she thought as she threw her purse and swung the door open to a startled Harry.

"Woah uh..are you okay?" Harry asks curiously.

The gentleness in his voice made her knees buckle from underneath her. She wanted to cry in his chest and tell him all of her struggles, but she just couldn't find the strength and self pride to do that.

"What's that on your cheek?" He frowns reaching for her face but she backed up shaking her head side to side. "Did someone hit you, no?"

"No," she says softly looking away.

"Don't lie to me Tawni," Harry warned noticing that she wasn't making eye contact with him. "Tell me what's going on."

"I c-can't," she whispers looking down.

"And why not?" Harry crossed his arms. "You hidin' something from me?"

Tawni shook her head frantically because she could feel the tears already brimming, and yes she is hiding something from him. She just couldn't tell him, so she quickly closed her front door and locked it.

"Tawni!" Harry yells banging on the door with his fist. "Open the door!"

Tawni finally cried and stepped away from the door. After the banging stopped, she then heard him say:

"Fuck you Tawni!" Harry yells loud enough so she could hear him. Being outraged, he slammed his fist onto the door making a very loud sound when his knuckles came in contact. He then soon walked away with his heart slightly broken.
