CHAPTER 1

Hello, welcome to read my story, I know that many will say that this is another bubblegum story .... maybe they are right. But I only know that this is my story if you are interested in reading, continue to be sure that you will enjoy.

If you made it this far, fantastic, let me introduce myself, I'm Danna Lucia Guerrero Arias.

Since I was little my life has always been, a chaos my parents separated when I was only 5 years old. They don't know how difficult the separation was, but a part of me was glad that they separated. My father had a very strong character, he often hit my mother, I only watched helplessly as he hit her when he came from work furious or when he was drunk. When my dad came home in those conditions I would hide, so he wouldn't hit me.

One day I couldn't stand it when I saw that he knocked my mother to the ground, and proceeded to give her legs all over her body. My mother moaned in pain as she tried to protect herself with her arms from hitting her anymore. In desperation I grabbed a vase and threw it against his head, with all my strength being a little myself, I didn't have enough strength to knock him out. My father looked at me stunned, I think he thought that I, a 5-year-old girl, dared to hit him. I looked at him with fear but also with determination, although I was scared I tried not to show it, I squeezed my little hand tightly.

I did not divert my gaze to him, I noticed at the exact moment when his gaze changed to a deep anger, he approached me, his body shook with anger. His fists were tightly clenched, his hands white from the pressure on his fist. He raised his arm with force and hit me, I fell to the ground while my mind was clouded, in the middle of my daze I felt like a hot liquid came out of my mouth and slid down my cheek.

My father hit me again but this time it was in the stomach, I let out a loud cry as that liquid came out of my mouth again but this time it was much more, I heard my father say in the middle of my pain.

- Little filthy, how dare you hit me, the next time you dare to disrespect me I will kill you and your mother. You are listening to me.- my father yelled as he hit me again, I don't remember how many hits he gave me since I fainted in the middle of them.

Other children were afraid of the monster under the bed, but I was only afraid of my father's monster who lived with me.

When I woke up, my vision was cloudy, with force I closed my eyes again. The second time I did it, I saw everything clearly, and I also felt a pain that ran through every part of my body. My breathing was painful, I tried to breathe as slowly as possible to calm my pain. My right hand was being held by something, I looked to the right and saw my mother who was asleep on the side of my bed, her face was full of bruises. Her arms were worse than her face, it was so painful to see her, if only she were stronger and bigger I could see my mother defended from the monster. The reality was different, I was just a skinny and weak little girl, I couldn't even defend myself worse for my mother.

I don't know when my mother woke up, I saw her black eyes fill with tears but they were also full of love. I felt warm inside, this was my mother, my light .... my there. He smiled at me through his tears, he touched my face, delicately. I took his hand while I tried to smile at him, to show him that I was okay, I did not achieve my goal since I felt a pain the right side of my face was surely the place where my father hit me.

- Forgive me honey, mom has been a failure as a mother, I couldn't defend you ... .. Forgive me .... My mother repeated over and over while crying.

- Mom, I have nothing to forgive you, you are the best mom in the world, don't be sad…. I was just trying to defend you from Dad, so you are not to blame, I would do it all the times necessary to defend you, Mom. - I said firmly.

- My girl sometimes I wish you were not so smart, but promise me that you will not do it again, my heart stopped when I saw you on the floor full of blood, promise me that you will not plow it no matter what happens to me, you have to escape and be safe…. Mom will be calm knowing that her girl is safe, promise me honey.

My mother looked at me desperately, she didn't know what had happened when she was passed out, to calm her I promised her.

- Okay, mom, you're not anymore, it was the first time I lied to mom.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he looked back at me lovingly.

- Mom and dad where he is already returned.

- Honey, mom has something to tell you, I separated from your dad three days ago, I was just waiting for you to wake up to leave this place where we suffer so much.

I was happy we were finally free from the monster, I looked at mom with a smile.

- No matter what happens, I will always be with my mother, I will never be separated from you ...…

I promised mom and in my heart to keep that promise.
