Bedroom

{DISCLAIMER: TRIGGERING WARNING. PLEASE DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART TELL ANYONE I MEAN IT. IF THIS TRAGICALLY HAPPEN TO YOU... YOU ARE NOT ALONE..}

*No Ones POV*
"I'll be home soon baby, I promise..." Ariana's mom said as she kissed her forehead as she left the house for work.

Ariana knew... She was only 4 at the time... It happened to her when her mother left. The Dark Times would come.

"Ariana..." Her dad called into the bedroom

She obeyed as always... She was raised like that. It wasn't her fault. It wasn't at all.

As Ariana went into the bedroom. She knew what to do.
As always, Ariana had fear and stutters. She didn't like it. No child would have liked it. But she was being continually be in the position.

When it was over her dad left for work. Mom would come.

Mom went to work at 7am, coming home at
2:20, on the dot. When dad left for work as well. Mom entered in with fear and sadness

"My baby." Mom always cried when she opened the house door

"MOMMY...!!" Ariana screamed happily as she ran into her arms.

Mom would always be on her two knees waiting for the most joyous hug.

Ariana always saw her mom eyes teary. Ariana always asked why...?

"I'm sorry precious..." Mom would hug her tightly and securely "Mommy is so sorry. I promise I will save you."

Ariana didn't understood it though. She just listened and smiled.

"I love you so much mommy." Ariana said

"I love you more my Ari-bear." Her mom replied to her

Every day would happen, except when her mom was off of work.

When her mom attended to work, Ariana would have 1-2 hour baths.

"Mommy..." Ariana whined

"I know, I know baby." Her mom said

"Why this long...?" Ariana asked

Every time when Ariana asked. Everything would get quiet. Every mood turns dark. Everything just didn't have one peep of light.

"Mommy has a present for you..." Mom always changed the subject

"REALLY??!" Ariana eyes lit up

"YES...!!" Her mom replied back trying to be happy "Close your eyes..."

Ariana closed her eyes. Her mom pulled out a doll, the doll Ariana always eyed when she would walk with her mom. They would always past by the store when they went to the park or the grocery store.

"Open them baby." She would say softly

Ariana gasped...

"She's perfect." Ariana said as she grabbed it

"You're more perfect." She would always reply.

Ariana was put down to sleep. This was always the routine when Ariana's mom came home. Always a Dark Time. Always a 1-2 hour bath. Always a present to brighten up her day.

Meanwhile her mom knew what was going on. Her mom was vulnerable she couldn't do anything. Except save up money for her and Ariana to leave her awful father.

"Mommy...?" Ariana asked sitting next to her mom on the bus

"Yes princess?" Her mom looked down

"When will we stop moving?" She asked always when they moved to another state

"Soon." Her mom always said

Ariana sighed and played with the doll she always played her mom bought her.
She bumped her little head with a dirty blond hair.

"OUCHIEE..." Ariana whined as she dropped her doll

"I'm sorry...!!" The boy replied as he picked up her doll and handed it back to her.

The boy stared at her.

In the course of 5 minutes they played with each other on the bus as their mothers talked.

"My name is Justin." He told her

Her mom saw and quickly walked over to Ariana.

"My name is Ariana." She smiled

"Airiana...??" Justin pronounced

"Sure...!!" Ariana told him

This is where is starts.
