The Life I never imagined (Complete)

Chapter 2

Mom was back home from the hospital after two whole weeks in there and two weeks of misery from my father's friend back at home. He hasn't been around ever since mom got back. I was not myself anymore, I wasn't the happy fun free spirited child I once was before everything. This man had taken part of me the minute he started forcing himself onto me. So many times I've considered death but I didn't want my sister to go through what I was going through and so I lived. Mom wasn't herself anymore, after sometime in hospital she came back a changed woman, a stranger to be exact because she just didn't care about us anymore. She started drinking too and I don't even know where she got the money to buy booze but she had it. We were on our way to school and we hadn't eaten in two days' now

Me: mom

Her: What?

Me: can we have money for bread?

Her: do I look an atm to you?

I didn't know how to respond to that. What had happened to my sweet loving caring mother? This monster before me was not the woman that gave birth to me. I shook my head

Her: you're a girl. Man pay to use what you have between your legs little girl. use it to your advantage and you will never go hungry again

I looked at her expecting her to say she was joking or something or whatever but she was as serious as a heart attack.

Her: get out of my sight!

I walked out to the lounge and pulled my little sister's hand and then we walked to school.

Ivy: Lala

That's what she called me. it was a name she gave me and has stuck with me for as long as I can remember.

Me: yes, Ivy?

Her: why does mom hate us?

Me: she doesn't hate us baby. She's just stressed

Her: what's stressed?

Me: she's just going through things that are making her be the way she is now

Her: so stress makes you mean?

I chuckled

Me: I guess it does.

Her: Lala I'm hungry

Me: I know baby. Me too

We walked past this other big shop owned by this other nice foreigner. I asked Ivy to wait for me outside while I went inside to try get him to give me something to eat.

Me: my friend

Him: hello Lala. How can I help you today?

Me: can we have something to eat. My sister and I haven't eaten for two days now. I promise I will pay it off by working here

Him: uhhhm

Me: please sir we starving. I can work here after school every day and you won't have to pay me

Him: tell you what. I will give you guys something to eat. Later on come by and I will give you guys a few groceries

Me: thank you so much

He gave me two sandwich boxes and I walked out to find Ivy talking to my father's friend. And he was playing with her hair. Immediately it sent chills down my spine and it was not the good kind of chills. It scared me to think that he would dare try what he did with me to my little sister.

Him: Yolanda

Me: hello. Ivy we have to get to school

Him: wait what's the rush. Look it's raining, get into my car and I will drive you
