THE SHORT LADY: my ex and my boyfriend

Annabelle is sitting on the crouch with her face covered with her palm, she did not realise that her mom has came back from work,

Lillian: Anna baby what's wrong? she asked moving closer and lay her hand on her shoulder

Anna; she raise up her head and look at her mother, not answering her question.

Lillian; common baby talk to me

Anna : she opened her mouth but nothing came out,

common talk to me her mom urged her

Annabelle; why am i this short mom?, everyone thinks am a little girl, how will my future be like? will I even be able to fall in love and get married?

Can you believe my crush call me a child abuse? she said with tears falling down on her beautiful face.

Lillian was surprised by what her daughter said, and the same time sad, u have a crush? she asked her daughter which made Anna almost rolled her eyes at her, if not for the fact that She's feeling sad she might have

Anna; mom, how can you ask such question, am 19 for goodness sake

Lillian; oh

Anna ; oh what

lilian; nothing dear, she tried to avoid the question, don't be sad over a crush dear, it's not love and you are still young and beautiful am sure you will come across someone that will love and accept you as you are, moreover you are not that short.

Anna; mom, u don't have to say that, even I myself knew am short

Lillian; well yes you are short but who care, u are beautiful and intelligent, being short is not a crime my dear, you are only slightly short

mom! she called as she notice rose standing behind them

Lilly; alright very short

anna; mom!!

Lilly; Christ child, who cares what is it dear? she look her in the eyes not knowing what more to say before a voice interupt them. apparently you are the only one who does not care Lilly, even I found her dwarf like.

how dare you rose, how can u say that to

your sister? mom she's a disgrace, my friend mock me at school for having a sis like her, can't you understand how am feeling? its annoying, even you yourself just admit to the fact that She's short just now am I wrong or..... a tiny landed on her face before she could finish with what she's saying.

Rose; Annabelle!!! you insect, you dare slap me? she glare at Anna who was able to execute the slap with the aid of climbing on top of the crouch, and couldn't help but laugh at the scene, oh sis really? never knew you could climb so well, hahaha, Pah, another hand land on her cheek but this time it was their mothers.

Lillian; Is this how I brought you up, even if others mocked her, as her sister do you have to so the same? am so ashamed of you, are you doing this because your father is no more and you think of me as a useless mom? how can you talk to your elderly sister like that without regard. you you, she burst into tears and run upstairs, she hate seeing her children fight each other, and can help but think that if her husband was still alive all this won't be happening.

Anna look at her mother departing back and sigh, tears rolling down from her eyes, she then face her sister, you! this will be the last time you will make her cry, I will make sure of that she said and climb down from the crouch

rose; not feeling bad for all she said smile and said, I wasn't talking to her, I was talking to you, so how on earth is it my fault that she cried, you should blame your self for looking like a disgrace, I only put up with you all this while cause of dad but not anymore u irritate me, and stop talking like an elderly sis, it's just a year difference anyway. Anna look at her and forced a smile on sad face, and left without minding her anymore, how dare you leave when an not done talking?. fine just go Looking at ur pitiful stature is already an eyesore.
