Third Person POV

Hugging her knees as she sat on the bed, staring into blank space.

Tatiana!!! The voice yells, 16 year old running down the stairs met by drunk Paul. "Did you find the job?" Her mother questions, fear taking over her as her body shivered, "uhm.....I did, but....but I only made 80 dollars" she says fearfully, his eyes turning dark as her worst fears began to come to life, "ple-please don't" his palm coming in hard contact with her left cheek making her fly across the room as she cried out, "oh bloody hell a punch would have done better!" Her mother spits, " I swear to God I tried to work for more" she sobs, "please just give me something to eat" she sobs uncontrollably, grabbing her off the floor by her hair as she cried out in pain, "you have some nerve don't you" he spits, "what did I tell you" he whispers cruely against her ear, sobbing out, "don't make me repeat myself" he spits, "th.....that i should sell myself if I have to and there will be hell to pay if I make anything less than 200" she cries, "and now there will be hell to pay" he spits before shoving her body towards the empty book shelf make her fall along with the shelf, stalking towards her before his fist lands in various parts of her body, yelling and screaming for her mother

Feeling a pair of hands engulfing her, cooing her in his arms as she sobbed. "I screamed for her to be there" she sobs, "I begged him and her what did I ever do" she cries, pulling her closer to him as she sobbed in his arms, "all I wanted was love, all I wanted was to love and be loved back" she says pulling away sobbing deeply, "was that too much, was I so undeserving that my mother couldn't love me" she sobs uncontrollably, Alexander's eyes wet with tears as he knew the pain of wanting to be loved. Wanting to be valued and cared for by someone, "tell me!" She sobs, pulling her in for a tight hug as she tried to fight him, swallowing the lump down his throat as he held her tight until she gave up, "no, that was not too much" he whispers with emotions, tears sliding down his cheeks at her sobs, "but now you will be loved I swear on my life" he says In tears, "by the kids, by Elizabeth, by me, you will be so loved" he cries as he holds her tight, sobbing in each other's arms.......
