I guess Cheryl might look like this, but oops... she's a little older! However I can't take my eyes off this cute little baby!!

I woke up with something soft under my head. This is definitely not a bed. Yes, Ma's lap. Even after I was wide wake I laid there staring at nothing on the floor.

Ma tugged a strand of hair behind my earlobe. "Lina? Honey? Are you awake?"   I couldn't stop the whimper escaping from my mouth. "Why, ma? just..why?Why is he treating you like this!". My voice didn't sound any greater than a whisper, as if all the energy had been sucked out of my body and soul.

"Its okay, baby. Even when Lorenzo hurt me, it wasn't this annoying. But this- " she pointed to my mouth. "-this is making my blood boil. Of course, I wed him, made the biggest mistake of my life by not listening to my parents, and I deserve this. But what did my poor innocent souls, my precious daughters do?" She started weeping. I cupped my palm on either sides of her cheeks to calm her senses,  but it didn't work.

Just then I tasted the strong metallic taste of blood on my lip, and I groaned-"Damn! I missed college today as well. I'm sure I'll get a detention this time.

Cheryl looked at me with the most innocent puppy face and said- "Maddinah, come lets get some ice cream. I want to tell you what happened with me and Peitro today." I knew Peitro, that little cute brown haired boy, who belonged to Cheryl's school. Their faces lit up whenever they saw each other, which would make my day. How cute????!!!

I told her with the happiest voice, even though I couldn't think even of a faint smile,clearing my throat-"Yes, my princess! Madinah will be there with ice-creams for you, meanwhile why don't you take your boo-boo teddy to the garden and show him some flowers and butterflies?"

"yayyy!!" she shouted and ran happily towards the garden with her boo-boo. Poor little soul, I thought to myself. Now that she was gone, my eyes were fixated on Ma. I pleaded "Ma, please lets leave this place. I can promise a better future in just a month for both Cheryl and us ma, please! Or lets just send Cheryl to Naani's, I don't want her to grow in this environment."

"I'll kill this jerk,ma!" My hands were clearly trembling and I started breathing unevenly, something that happens to me whenever i'm angry or excited. "I would rather spend my life in jail than see our lives getting wasted like this."

"Then why don't you give it a try?" Lorenzo stood right behind me, clearly frustrated at my actions. I wouldn't bother to call this maniac "dad", even though he is my biological father, I would rather die than calling him like that. "Look who has been eaves-dropping here. Do you have any manners? Are you insane? Oh I know what you are! You are a nasty brute!"- I spat.


Hey people! I'm sorry for ending this chapter with a little story line, I'll make sure the next chapter is lengthy enough! *pushes her spectacles on the bridge of her nose*

So how was this chapter? Do you think Maddelyn could make it to her mother's and sister's comfort?

Drop your thoughts! I'm eager to reply to all of 'em *going back to work*
