Once we got back, I took Caiden into the spare room and led him down, I sat next to him and moved the hair out of his face, I felt tears roll down my face, I hate it when he has to witness everything, he's to young for god sake! I pulled the blanket up higher and kissed his head, I slowly walked out and into the front room, I sat on the recliner, and stared at the floor silently, missy spoke making me jump and realise her, Swayer, Blake and hunter were all sitting down watching me with uncertainty.
"Lilly, are you okay?" I just shrugged and looked down, Swayer spoke
"How's your brother?" I didn't look up but used sign language so missy would speak for me,
He's sleeping with no nightmares so that's good Blake spoke next,
"Minnie I think you should get some sleep" I shook my head and rested my elbows on my knees and placed my head on my hands, letting my hair cover my face, Swayer spoke
"Well me and missy are going to go sleep, Lilly call us if you need us" I didn't answer,
"Same Minnie you know where our rooms are" I heard them leave and felt tears roll down my face, I jumped when someone picked me up and placed me on there lap on the sofa, I looked up to see hunter staring at me with sad eyes,
"Lilly" just saying my name set me off and I started crying silently, he placed his hand on the back of my head and pulled me down so my head rested on his shoulder, he rubbed my back soothingly to try calm me down.
Once I stopped crying I wiped my eyes with my sleeve, I leaned back and he smiled sadly
"Better?" I nodded
"Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head
"Do you want to talk about anything?" I shook my head again, he sighed
"Do you want to go sleep?" I shrugged, he just stared at me for a while until he moved us so I was resting on a pillow on his lap after he took my shoes off and helped me undress while giving me his T-shirt which went to my knees nearly, then pulled a blanket over me and started playing with my hair until I drifted to sleep.
~~
A voice made me jump awake, well more like someone singing
"Oopsy daisy I hurt you again, crushed your heart in the palm of my hands-" them swayers voice shouted
"Shut up idiot! I'm trying to sleep here!" Then you could hear Caiden giggling from the kitchen which made me smile slightly, I looked up to see hunter looked down at me, I raised an eyebrow and he shook his head. I sat up and groaned its to early! I stood and stretched at the same time as hunter, and we walked into the kitchen while missy and Swayer padded in after us, Caiden smiled sadly at me and Blake shoved pancakes in front of us, I ate then missy spoke
"Are we going to school?" Just as my phone went, I ran into the front room grabbed my phone from the pile of my clothes then ran back into the phone to Hunter, who answered it
"Hello? Yeah her and Caiden are with me now, okay that's good, yeah in a few hours, okay, bye" we all looked at him until he spoke with symphony,
"Your mom is intensive care, and there's a chance she won't make it, a relative Zena has requested to take you under custody, until either your mom gets out of hospital or your dad gets out of jail" my eyes widened and Caiden spoke
"We don't have a relative names Zena, we don't even have relatives" everyone looked at me and I shook my head and pointed to Caiden and the floor, then I pointed at me and to he door, Blake spoke
"She said Caiden has to stay here, but she will have to go" Caiden spoke
"Why?" I pointed to him and debated how to put my next words, I decided to used sign language so missy could speak for me
You won't be safe there, you will be safe here, this time they all said why, I quickly thought of a lie,
She has a hate towards boys yeah I know a really bad lie but they believed what I said, I sighed with relief and went upstairs to get ready (outfit on side) once we got in the car, Caiden moaned saying he wanted to go with Blake which I let him, so Caiden Blake Swayer and missy went in one car and I went with Hunter, on the the drive to the hospital hunter spoke
"Why are you not talking?" I shrugged,
"Lilly, we know what happened, there's no need to hide it anymore, no need to hide it while being mute" I glared at the dashboard and ignored him,
Once we finished school, everyone decided to surround a sports car, missy dragged be to the front and I closed my eyes and re opened them trying to make her disappear, I gulped when she spotted me, she put on a fake smiled and spoke
"There you are Lilliana, come on we need tog get home before where late" I hesitated until she grabbed e my arm and shoved me in the car, smiled at the crowed who just started at her in shock, the fact she has a nice car and is speaking to someone like me. Once we got in the car she spoke,
"Your wondering how I got the car? Right well you see I have someone waiting for me at home, and he et me borrow his car for a favour as long as I didn't tell his wife, anyway I bet your also wondering why I asked to take custody of you, we'll you say your father always brought my drugs, so now he's gone and I need someone to repay that while he's in prison, anyway where is your brother? Actually doesn't matter" she looked me up and down then spoke again,
"You will be good enough, well were home" she parked on the curb p, then we got out, she dragged me in the house and once we walked threw the door I started coughing, she laughed
"Don't worry you'll get used to it, the smoke will disappear when they get to high, oh and the smell, there's air fresher in the cupboard in the kitchen, come with me" she pulled me in a room and locked it,
"Change" I looked around the wardrobe and shook my head, there's no way in hell I'm wearing this revealing shit! She glared and grabbed a short leather black skirt and a black corset and shoved it in my arms,
"Get changed or I'll pay your brother a little visit!" I gasped and pulled the clothes on then she looked at my bruised body,
"Dammit I forgot you father hit you, hmmm" she walked around the room and got our some foundation and started covering all my bruises that where visible then added red lipstick on my lips and red eye shadow, she smiled and clapped at her finished project, I nervously tried to pull my skirt lower, but she glared and pulled it back to normal, is she bipolar! She turned around and pulled me out of the room and into the front room where was a man sitting in a suit stoned of his face and a boy Urm a few years older then me, Zena whispered harshly in my ear
"Keep him happy, I'll make sure it doesn't go face but you matter make him happy until he's too high to concentrate, so I get my money's worth, I'll keeps bobby happy" I gulped and she pushed me on top of the boy, he caught me with ease and placed me on his lap, while placing one hand on the small of my back on the other on my thigh, he smiled
"Hello babe" I looked at Zena and she glared and started kissing the man, I gulped then put on a fake smile on my face and turned back to the boy,
"I'm Zach, your name?" Zena spoke up
"Her names Cindy she isn't much of a talker" he nodded and looked back at me, then moved my hair, I shivered with disgust be he took it the wrong way and moved closer and started kissing my neck, I closed my eyes trying to wish I wasn't here, why me? I mean I'm good right? I don't do anything bad, I look after my brother, I get good grades, why does this stuff always happen to me! I slightly leaned over and picked up the tag which I'm guessing had drugs in and moved and placed it in his mouth, he smiled and stared taking drags of it, making his grip on my thigh loosen, he took the last drag and placed it in the ashtray, then started kissing me sloppily again, I stopped day self from getting up and running away, it's not like I could get far, Zena made sure she locked every window and door. I looked at Zena who pointed to a fag, I picked it up and he spoke,
"Your turn Baby" I gulped and shook my head, he glared and moved me so I was straddling him, he got the fag took one drag then placed it near my face, then moved his hand to my arse and squeezed causing em to gasp, he placed the fat in my mouth and I had to inhale, I started coughing causing him to laugh and kiss me before he paced the fag by my mouth again, I took a drag again so he wouldn't feel me up.
I managed to get him high then collapsed next to him, Zena dragged me upstairs and shouted
"What the hell Lilly! You was meant to make him happy, your luckily he wasn't someone else who's pushy you managed to make him high thought but next time do as I say!" She punched me and I feel to the floor cradling my face, she glared as started kicking me until I passed out in pain.
~~
I woke up in pain, I looked around and panicked where am I? What happened? Then it all came back like a slap in the face, I cringed then ran into the shower, eww, I got that creeps slobber all over my neck, eww! Eww! Eww! I walked into the bedroom with the towel wrapped around me tightly and looked in the wardrobe, I sighed with relief when I seen decent clothes in there, I quickly looked outside to see it was windy, I chose a warm outfit, (outfit on side) I quietly walked down the stairs to see both men passed out, I slowly went into the kitchen to see Zena in there drinking Oj she looked up and spoke with a flat tone,
"The doors open, get to school before your late" I nodded and rushed out, once I got to school I shivered in disgust thinking about last night, missy ran over with Swayer, Hunter and Blake, they smiled, all apart form Hunter when I fake smiled to them, Blake went to hug me but I cringed away, they all raised an eyebrow and I tried to act like nothing happened by trying to walk away, once we got to first lesson I started ignoring missy talking and started craving something, my leg bounced and I started to get irritated, I looked around and spotted, Fin well I think his names fin, I walked over considering it's a free lesson and placed my note in front of him, he read it and spoke in my ear
"Meet me behind school at dinner" I nodded, I ignored missy watching the class bouncing my leg again because I started getting irritated, DINNER TIME!! I turned the corner and seen Fin leaning against the wall, he shield when he seen me, then passed me a packet if fags with a lighter, as I passed him money, then spoke,
"I didn't expect you out of most people to smoke" I shrugged and walked to where Hunters group used to hang and pulled out one fag, I lit it and smoked, once I finished I sighed as my nerves slowly calmed down, I got out another just incase and jumped when someone pulled it out of my mouth, I looked up in shock, Hunter stood there with a glare on his face,
"Smoking Lilly! What. The. Hell!" I shrugged and reached for it but he pulled it higher and I had to move closer to him to try and reach it, he moved me back by gently pushing me away, I gasped in pain as he knocked my bruised stomach, I heard him growl
"She hurts you doesn't she!"
