The family of Strays and one of No name

A day dream gone bad

  When her mom was around, life was better in the house of strays. She kept everyone happy, smiling, giggling, and the yard was much cleaner. The house was a real color, baby blue. It sounds crazy but it's true.... Baby blue. The yard had clean green grass and people actually came over. The twins had the same color hair and eyes. Well Jayden didn't, he was the odd duckling, he had and still has the ocean in his eyes and they were filled with so much love, he gets that from his mother and No Name had melted honey in her eyes, now there's only hardened dark chocolate that cries out in pain.

  No name Was always with her mom, in the backyard picking strawberries, shopping with her mother, smelling to what used to be roses turned into weeds and thrones, and would talk together in the front of the house. Jayden would go shopping, sit and talk, and would eat the strawberries that they would pick and their mother would get upset but then giggle cause she knows that they where only kids. They all had so much fun together, having cookouts, having friends over, and just hanging out in the pool. 

----- Speed up a few years later when the twins were 14-----

  It was there birthday. The one day they decided to do it..... Argue.... Scream.... Then she left. It was an awful day but before the argument they where watching tv and eating brunch cause they woke up late. The sun was hiding behind the clouds, that were gray. Sunny side up, bacon, pancakes with smiley faces on them and orange juice with a side of love and jokes from the parents and young adults..... They were only turning 15, they were trying to enjoy their birthday with their parents. They didn't want this.... After brunch No Name did the dishes and Jayden helped drying and putting them away. The mom cleaned the table and the father..... The father... he stayed on his  Recliner chair watching football.

  All she did was ask for some help.... Why yell at her???

  Linda. What a nice name, don't you think?

------- How it went down-----

   "Derek help me with the table please?" She said in her beautiful voice.

  "You can handle it, you're a big girl," he said in a bitter voice.

   "Please honey. My back hurts...." She added.

   He slammed the remote onto the floor and it broke in several pieces, stood up and snapped at her.

  "LINDA I SAID YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF IT... CANT YOU SEE IM WATCHING TV?!!!" Everyone froze. No one said anything. Until she started to cry.

   "Why are you yelling? What's wrong de-" he interrupted her and went up to and shoved her into No Name.

   "HEY!!!" Jayden said with anger. "YOU DON'T DO THAT TO LADIES, ESPECIALLY TO MOTHER!" He felt so confident he could stop his dad, but he only made it worse.

  Derek punched him in the eyes leaving a nasty black and blue. Grabbed Linda by the wrist and banged her into the wall. Leaving No Name to watch everything. She wouldn't leave... Or she would get it next. All she did was cry alone with her mother. Jay was nocked out cold, lying on the floor. Tears fell down her face, she couldn't move. She wanted to punch her father so bad but she couldn't budge, her mother.... Her beautiful mother was getting hit and tears fell down her face like a water fountain. No Name screamed at him..... Her greatest mistake.... He turned around so fast you swear he could've broken his neck.

   "Who the hell are you talking to like that?" His teeth  grinned like chalk on a chalk board.

   "Why are you doing this? What did we do wrong?" She said in her sweet  innocent voice.

   "Why? WHY?" She whimpered as her mom sat up, or tried to anyway. Her leg was too sore from when she feel the day before. "I'll tell you why. It's because of mistakes like you and him!!" He pointed to her brother.

   "THAT IS ENOUGH," the mother yelled. " please this is not like you.... Stop" she pleaded. 

  But he didn't listen and he  looked at the little girl but went for the mom, then he stopped. He stared at her wet face, from crying, her face was red like a tomato and felt hot to the touch. She was panting from crying so hard and once he left she cried the rest of the day and grabbed both of her kids and held them, even though Jay was asleep.

-----later that night------ 

  He never came home that night and soon after she single highhandedly put the kids in their beds, she got changed, packed her bags, and put them in her red Mercedes and waited for the morning to come. But when the morning did come, she was gone..... The poor kids... Motherless... Stuck with an angry dad for the rest of their lives. Until they were 18 years of age. They kids went looking for her, called her, but nothing. All there was.. Was a note left on the counter saying, 

  "Dear kids,

   I no longer want to be stuck with your father. I have to leave you guys here because he will try to come look for you and your father will come after me if i have you with me. I'm sorry for doing this to you, but there isn't another way out of this. I love you two, make the most out of it and do as he says. I stashed money in your pillows for when you need something. And  your birthday gifts should be under your beds. I'll come back for you kids some day, just not now..... I'm sorry kids.... I love you with all my heart and hope you won't grow up to hate me. Good bye...."

  That was the last day they ever saw here. Or anyone for that matter. The kids left depressed for the rest of their lives. Their 15th birthday ruined forever. Nothing they knew would be the same ever again.
