Dad! daddy please stop. stop hitting mom else she'd die.
all plea fell on deaf ear until all demon in Mr.Stanley was released and the lady was half conscious. Leaving the poor child terrified.
then he picked his bag and left like he'd always done
Except for the little hope in her heart that one day all this would end Amelia should have gotten used to this.
Amelia
I saw blood everywhere, I'd wondered how my mum still cope living in the same house as this monster.
I turned to her and said:
mum I'm sorry I couldn't help you out, I promise you that dad would pay for his sins one day.
Even try though weak mum still said baby go to sleep now remember that you have classes tomorrow how can you make me proud if you miss class huh
I could see the tears she was holding I guess probably waiting for me to sleep and then she let it go
so I went to her and said. mum it okay to cry I wouldn't dare see you as weak okay let it all out
that's when mum hugged me and cried her heart out, we both wept and after that I said to her
mum I'll not ask you if you're hungry cause you'd probably say no, so I'm hungry you're hurting I only know how to make noodles or chicken soup so I guess we'd be taking noodles for dinner wait while I prepare them in the meantime dress your wounds, no baby you're just 11 ,
well I'm turning 12 soon so stay still and wait for the meal okay?
yes ma'am, she said and we laughed it felt so nice to see her smiling
15minutes later
mum it ready come and eat
after dinner that night we hugged ourselves to sleep
