Dilemma

Chapter seven:The party

Can't wait to see you too ,take Care of yourself hun,bye love you!' KJ was finally coming back and I was excited to see him. I missed him so much and I couldn't wait to make him pay for that.

Mom had done what I told her to do,fortunately for my family we knew a lot of people that could make things happen. I was finally at rest and I knew that by moving Jane's friend I was also putting myself at risk. Who knew what Mr Johnson would do if he suspected me.

Why was I even thinking of all these things? KJ is coming back and that's all that matters.

Jane and Gina were already up ,the pair became suspiciously hardworking since last week. I'd wake up to already prepared bath water,food and swept apartment.
Jane was indeed a good influence on Gina.

I was enjoying our new housemate more and more each day. Mom had called me the previous day and told me she was headed home. Dad was finally coming back so she needed to give him feedback on her meetings with Mr Andrew and also check if my brothers had completely destroyed our house.

I was not ready to speak to father after all these years, but I did plan on doing that once I came back home.
Jane ,Gina and I left for work the same time and it felt good to see Gina almost back to her normal self.
Jane dropped me off with her car and did the same with Gina ,how wonderful it was to have a roommate with a car.

"So kids,today we'll be learning about personal hygiene,do we know what these two words mean?"

As expected there were few hands raised,good attempts and horrible ones as well.

I started explaining throwing in few fun things and they were able to understand.

After the class I was surprised when one of my kids walked up to me wearing a scowl .

" umm miss Meredith, can I ask you something'?"

Yes dear of course you can ' I replied very curious as to what she had to say

"When you said girls and boys could use deodorants like perfume to make their bodies smell nice ,did you mean everyone?"

"Well... I meant boys and girl who are very much older than you,the ones we call adolescents. You're still young,but there are mild deodorants your parents can use on you"

"Well, it's just that you mentioned perfume and I don't think I can use it ,even if I grow bigger. It won't be part of my personal hygiene." She replied biting her fingernails

Mary stop biting your fingernails' I reprimanded

' Why do you think you won't use perfume,you should use it a lot when you grow bigger .
As a lady you need it to smell nice '

" Does that mean that my mom does not Smell nice,dad always beats her up anytime she uses his perfume,he calls her a eeetched ore"

"You mean he playfully beats her?' I didn't want go believe a man could raise his hand against his wife in front of the child.

" Mom always screams  ,I don't think its play Meredith, he has this mean face on when he hits her"

I was just distraught watching a six year old making a mean face of her father ,when he's beating the day light out of the wife and at the same time trying to make out what her last two words meant.

You know what,I think your father will be more than willing to let you use his perfume, when you get bigger, he could even buy you one. Now don't worry I'll give you one as well ,in fact I'll give everyone tomorrow. Just go and play okay"

Well she left very thrilled and I was sad,I had to do something about that,That girl had already witnessed something that she shouldn't be able to and the image is engraved in her mind. Calling the principal about this could involve bringing the two parents and discussing it,which might not end well for the mother. Then the words finally hit me,wretched whore'. How awful the man must be
I had to fix this on my own and fast. Well time to reconnect with an old classmate.
