Chapter 21: What Do You See When You Close Your Eyes?

I'm writing a filter for this chapter today guys but I'm using a character that was briefly mentioned in Alleyway Of Rockstars. Helena's Mom. Of course, at the beginning she died but I really wanted to do a POV of her from when she was alive. I hope I don't confuse everyone with the update.

P.S I'm being forced to write update thanks to @DarkestDreamer13 and @RobynThompson14, who both stole my notebook with all the chapter planning and I'm not joking, I had to run down a hill to grab my book of them, even though I'm dizzy as hell  its was so funny xD I can barely look at the screen atm so bare with me guys. I need to go back to the doctors again to check what on earth is wrong with me.

Chapter 21

Picture of Helena 's Mom ------>

- 13 Years Ago -

"I love my penguin!" Helena cheered.

Placing the last moving box down on the kitchen counter, I wiped the sweat of my forehead and walked in the living room. I watched as my daughter play on the burnt out carpet with her broken stuffed penguin.The smiles on her face lifted my spirit so much that I smiled too. Her black hair all scruffy like a alley cat, complimented with a red little bow on her head. Helena is so beautiful. Then I realized that beauty of her was covered in white banages around her little fragile arms. The pinkness of her cheeks were covered with the bloodness of scars. My poor baby.

Cough

Covering my hand over my mouth, I tried not to cough in front of Helena as she hated seeing me sick. That girl has the temper of a ticking time bomb. I turned around to walk back into the kitchen and opened the last box. Inside were all the dishes and plates left from stuff saved from the stupid fire. The council didn't want to give us a new house but once they heard about Helena, pity grew inside them.This crooked council flat is what we have now.

At least its something...

I placed all the dishes under the cupboards and the glasses on the cupboards above my head. The giggles of Helena soared into the kitchen like a bird. More smiles were planted on my face. I grabbed the old broom and sweeped the black and white tiled floor. Dust clouds blew on the floor and little creatures crawled out. Yuck! I need to buy some spray to kill these bugs. If I had any money.

Cough!

I covered my mouth just in the nick of time before Helena could hear and as I pulled my hand from my mouth, my eyes grew wide.

Blood.

Splashes of blood curled around the tips of my fingers, swaying down to the palm of my hand. Oh no... This shouldn't happen... Not yet at least...

"Mummy?" I heard a tiny voice behind me.

I curled my hand into a fist and turned around to face Helena while hiding my hand behind back. Licking my teeth and mouth just in case there was any blood, I smiled at her.
