"𝐴𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑢𝑝. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑔𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑎 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙"

"𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝑖 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑎 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜" Angel whined.

"𝑚𝑒 𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑡.𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑠𝑜 𝑤𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛" Money explained.

Angel just huffed and got up to get ready for school. Angel ,DJ and Money were only supposed to be at they fathers house for Christmas. All of them knew they mother was struggling but they ain't care all they knew was they mother. Thats where they wanted to be.

Instead they mother made a hasty decision and didn't tell none of them. They should of knew better though. Because the Christmas invite came out of no where.

Angel was fed up the most. She didn't remember her daddy at all and nobody talked about him. She was a mommy's girl and very attached so this was weighing on her little heart.

Plus her daddy had a wife and they had all types of rules. She couldn't even stay up late and she couldn't eat what she wanted she had to ask. She even had a half sister and was supposed to know all of a sudden share and shit.

After a while all three children were settled at their fathers. They all came to hate it. They got in trouble a lot at home. School became their safe haven.

One day Angel got in trouble because she fought sister Sariyah. Big trouble. Her father didn't play about Sariyah. They were only 7 and 5 years old. But this fight was heated. Sariyah standing on Angels head. Angel pushing Sariyah down the staircase.

Devin ended up beating both girls but Angel got it way worse.

He said "𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑜 𝑏𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙"

Angel didn't agree. Sariyah knew what she was doing. She picked with Angel continuously just because she knew her parents would take her side every time.

" 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡. 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑚𝑦 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑦" Angel cried hysterically.

Devin beat her more just because she cried for her mother. Eventually she shut up competely.she didnt move or make a sound she just laid there with tears rollinf dowm her face.

She had realized if she continued it'd keep getting worse. After what seemed like forever Devin stoppes beating her. He explained why he beat her again and hugged her. Angel just stood there still quiet as a mouse on shaking her head when asked a question. He finally dismissed her.

Angel ran to the room her and Sariyah shared. Sariyah just stared with a blank face. Angel just laid in bed thinking. Money and DJ soon appeared in the room to see if she was okay. Angel was laid facing the wall.

"𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑" Money asked.

Angel said nothing at all. She didn't need to though. The welts covering her little body and bruised wrists explained everything.

"𝑖𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 𝑜𝑛 𝐺"

" 𝐷𝐽 𝑠𝑡𝑓𝑢 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛"

Money walked out the room. DJ kisses his sisters cheek and followed Money. They weren't letting shit slide. They little sister was the kindest person they knew and she stayed to herself 100% of the time. She didn't deserve that at all.

Everybody started their day normal. Angel still wasn't talking at all. Her dad and stepmom didn't feed her breakfast cause she couldn't open her mouth to say GoodMorning to them. In all honesty she wasn't hungry anyway. Seeing their sister like that Money and DJs anger just kept building up.

At School DJ got into a fight with some random cause they was talking out they neck. DJ's anger got the best of him. When they got home from school their father was waiting. He never got home this early.

" 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔" 

An angry Devin began punching DJ repeatedly. Money stood there speechless. He didn't know what to do. DJ won't looking too good. After 5 minutes Devin didn't stop beating on DJ.

Money became scared. So he started trying to pull his father off DJ. Devin grew angrier.

" 𝑜ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑛𝑎 𝑓𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑙 𝑛𝑖𝑔𝑔𝑎"

Devin shifted he punches to Money. DJ got up and realized what was happening. DJ tried to fight Devin. Money came to his senses and they started jumping Devin.

"𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑜𝑓𝑓 𝑚𝑦 ℎ𝑢𝑠𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑖𝑚𝑎 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑡 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏𝑢𝑟𝑦 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑦𝑎𝑟𝑑"
Sarah said holding a sawed off shotgun.

The Twins Immediately Came to their senses and held they're hands up. Sarah still pointed the gun at them not saying a word for what seemed like 10 minutes.

"𝑆𝑎𝑟𝑎ℎ 𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑎𝑚𝑛 𝑔𝑢𝑛 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑠 𝑔𝑜 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔"
Devins voice boomed thru the whole house.

Money and DJ walked to their room. After about 2 hours they heard drilling coming from the outside of their door. They went open the door to see their father attaching something to their door. It was a alarm.

"𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚𝑠 𝑢𝑛𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑜 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑙 𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑚𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢" Devin said smiling big.

The Twins just stared at him in Disgust. they didn't care as long as they got to go home to their mom. They were actually quite happy.

Ivy picked the twins up from a gas station in a city over from where they lived. They were confused because Angel wasn't  coming. They asked their mom but she said Angel was happy there.

They tried to explain but their mom was convinced they bumped they head. They couldn't imagine what would happen to Angel. They just prayed she'd be strong and survive.
