And that I was going to file for a restraining order on him. She said that would be fine. Of how much that has happened, how happened, I feel guilty and that she should beat me up or try to kill me but she was all calm and nice about everything. It was like knew this would have happened.

When I moved here 5 years ago, I had found the perfect shop down the street from my cute little apartment. It was big enough for me and one little person. Yes, I said little person. I kept my daughter and named her after the one that helped me get away. Cynthia Rose. Rose was my mother's middle name and it fits perfectly together. I thought it long and hard before I had her. I wasn't gonna keep her at all, I was gonna give her away. I was gonna wrap her up in a small blanket, go to a church and place her on the stairs once she was born and I got out the hospital. I figured the priests or nuns would find her and find her a good home.But once I had her, that changed everything. The way she looked up me and smiled that gummy smile at me, I just melted. I couldn't go through what I wanted to do. And I knew it

3 years laterI woke up to my step mom knocking on the door, telling me it was time for school. When I got up, I went to the door, opened it to tell her I was awake and I'll be out and down in ten minutes or so. When she nodded, I closed the door back and went into my bathroom through the 2nd door in my room. Me and my sister share it, since our rooms are on either side of it and our brother was across from it but he had his own bathroom just like us. But the other room on the other side was a spare bedroom and then at the end of the hall was our parents with their own bathroom.As I ran into the bathroom just as Carlie was getting out of bed. She looked my way and I shut her side door, so I could take my shower. I was in long, only about 5 minutes or so.

I shut my door for both our sales, t

On all fours it was bigger than my house." The man on the tv had said. "Oh please Jay, you were probably dreaming of it. Did you have hot coco before bed again?" A girl had said."Just a little but I swear. Asked Henry, he used his wand and hit fire at it." "Let's forget about it and let's go shopping!" The twin brothers had said screaming like girls making everyone laugh.Joey came over to watch the new movie that came out and since we were home alone, I said what the heck.

JoeyTwo days. Two days since she's been in the hospital resting.Two days since she's been out.Two days for her to get back to normal.It took a lot to get her back to normal, but when it did, she was fully awake and alert. She was shocked to see where she was and who was there for her.The moment she woke up, I had called her doctor and called the others to come to the hospital. The doctor checked her out and said she was okay, back where she needed to be. Which was a good thing."Cynthia Rose, do you know how much you gave us all a scare?" Cynthia scolded her."I'm sorry." Rose had said at first, looking down. Then looked up and spoke again. "Does he know?""Your father?" Cynthia asked. Rose nodded. "I called him and told him, well mostly left a voicemail. But he hasn't called back or even texted to see if you were okay. Last time we spoke was a month ago when he told me he was leaving town for awhile and sent money for you kids."

They put her under, to help her sleep and have her on some nutritions in her IV to help her from all the drugs she has been on. When Cynthia and her brother and sister showed up, Cynthia hugged me with a few tears running down her face, Chris was hurt and mad at the same time, Carlie, she didn't know what to say."Do you know why she done what she done?" Cynthia asked me."No, not really." I said at first. "But I'm pretty sure we all know why she did. She's gone through a lot.""It doesn't matter what shes gone through. She shouldn't have done it in the first place." Chris had kinda yelled."You be in her shoes, Chris." I said. "She lost her mother, her father. She believes her life is slipping, that no one loves her." I snapped back."We love her.""Do you? If y'all did, you wouldn't have let her move out on her own. She's young still but stubborn at heart.

New years eve was short lived. It wasn't all that great, other than being by myself. Jacob came by and helped me get high and well the high wasn't even a high anymore. The pain was still there, just made me feel numb. Like I can see everything going slow motion, just dragging. When school started back up, I had slowly started winging myself off from doing drugs. But with Jacob, it was hard to do half the time. Joey, saw me struggling with it. He saw me crashing when didn't want anyone to see me crash. One day at lunch, I felt weak and I could barely even move. Where I had almost passed out by my locker and if it wasn't for Joey being next to me, catching me. Joey had drove me home and stayed with me and helped me for the rest of the night. He had told his parents that he was staying over with Chris and told Chris to help back him up.

It felt like its been forever by now but its finally here. Its Christmas eve, our family dinner. What we call it but its kinda different since Mark is gone. As I got home, yes a little high, but enough to get the high but not show it. Cynthia was in the kitchen cooking away with some of the help, when I came in. Our head chef was taking out the hams when I popped my butt down on the island. When he sat it on the counter he addressed me like always with a smile. Walter, I loved he was the best. Always made me the best late night snack. Especially when I was a little high."Good morning Ms. Rosey." He said."Good morning Walter.""Oh good your here and early." Cynthia chimed in. "But not dressed for your best, I see." "I don't have all my nice close at the house mother. I left them here. But I was gonna take a nice hot bath and get ready here if you didn't mind?""Of course not. Its still your place. Even though your father isn't here and the judge left every

After being gone for a few days, phone getting blown up, text message after text, I finally got back to my old self where I wanted to go back home. Not just because Cynthia had told me the words I wanted to see but I needed to go back. I needed to be loved and be by my family.But just seeing:"Honey, I kicked out your father. I done what I should have done long time ago back when I caught him with your mother. Yes, I know its sad. But after what he's done to all of us and what he done to you of all people. Especially after losing your mother, you needed a parent in your life and I know I'm not your mother, but I've helped raised you and if your willing to come back you can. I won't be mad at you if you don't."It hit the heart but I know its not her fault at all. She was more the victim as anyone of us. Her husband, the father of her children, doing them wrong all over again. Then placing his hands on his baby girl that looks dead ass like her mother. I thought that was the problem,

The moment I left the shop, all I could think about was Cynthia. The look she will have after watching the video. The anger, the heartache, the disappointment of her spouse cheating on her once more.

As I drove to my mother's house, now mine, I had texted Jacob to meet me over there. I needed a fix after what just happened. And I needed it bad. I wanted this feeling to go away.
