"Mommy, why must we stay?" The little girl asked her mother, "we can go to the hotel Lillian went to for her birthday."
"Aphy, because I love him." The mother said removing the broken piece of glass from the wound in her cheek.
"Mommy, what's love?"
"Baby, I hope you never find out, it's something that hurts so much but you can never escape."
"Mommy, what does escape mean."
"Never mind child, don't tell anyone what he did. Do you understand Aphrodite?"
"Yes, Mommy."
"Aphrodite, What are you supposed to do?"
"I'm supposed to be quiet, mommy." The little girl responded bringing her finger up to her lips as her mother did the same.
"Shhhh"

Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!Complete
