Maybe one day

5.

"Jade honey we're home!" My mother calls up the stairs.

I walk down the stairs. I couldn't be bothered to hide my black eye. I would just say I got into a fight.

"Hey mom." I sigh as I joined them in the living room.

"Mom I'm going to play in the garden!" Jackson yelled from the kitchen.

"Okay jacky!" She called back. "so jade How was school yesterday I didn't get to see you..." my mother says turning around to face me.

"Omg! Jade what happened?" My mother asked as she rushed to my side and examined my eye.

"I-I got into a fight at school." I lied.

"No you didn't tell me what really happened." My mother demanded. "And where was beck to protect you?"

"Mom me and beck broke up last night." I said looking down at my feet.

"Hunny. He didn't and never will deserve you." She says pulling me into a hug.

"He did it in front of all my friends and my enemy and I felt so stupid." I cried into her shoulder.

Her grasp around me tightened as she hugged me protectively.

"Baby don't worry about what they think. Screw them." She smiled as she carefully whipped my tears away. "Now will you please tell me about your eye and what happened."

"I-i can't you will be mad." I said.

"I would never be mad at you baby." My mother said.

"I-it w-was dad." I said as I began to shake with worry. "H-he hit me and kicked me because I said something a little rude to him." I said as I broke down into tears.

"Y-your father did this?" She asked angrily.

I nodded slowly Trying not to hurt my head from the headache that was forming.

"Come on we're leaving. I'm not living with someone who is hurting my kids." She said.

"We will move back in once your father finds a place to stay. In the mean time we're living somewhere else." She said.

"I will go pack Jackson's bag." Can you go take Jackson into your room and get him to help you pack your things." She said.

"Yes mom." I obeyed.

I walked out into the garden to see my little brother run around with a toy aeroplane.

"Jackson come on mom. Wants you to help me pack." I said as I grabbed onto his little hand.

"I will everything later." I said as I picked him up placing him on my hip.

I walked back into the house and up into my bedroom.

I Placed Jackson on my bed as I dug around under my bed until I found my big black suitcase.

"I pulled out all my cloths from my draws and chucked them into my suitcase.

"Jady why are you rushing?" He asked.

"Because mom wants us to leave before dad gets home." I said as I placed a few scissors in the suitcase.

"But I-isn't daddy coming w-with us?" He asked.

"No kiddo." I said ruffling his brown hair up.

I waked into my bathroom and grabbed all my makeup and toiletries and hair products and places them into the suitcase.
I grabbed all my shoes and forced them into my suitcase.

"Jackson. Go pick out your favourite toys and bring them to me." I said as I pulled out a rucksack from my closet.

"Kay!" He said as he ran into his room.
