Memory laneTwelve years ago.She was ten and he was five. That year was one of the best years she had lived and known when growing up as an adolescent. She has never been conscious of her surroundings like that year. She was happy, sad, grateful, loved, and recognized. Everything ended that year too. It began with her mom constantly coming late to the house. Reeking of alcohol, ruining the things that come her way. Frightening her and her brother while her father tried to shield them from her.Lucy had been a mess, instead of growing into a loving mother towards her children, she became their nightmare whenever Martin wasn't around to protect them from her.It was just an act of refreshment as she called it that developed into a habit that ruined the whole family. Lucy derived happiness from gambling and drinking herself to stupor and anytime Martin mentioned it she cursed him for making life difficult for her.Martin had tried to overlook some of her mistakes over and over again un

BRADLEY'S POVI kept calling her number, but she wouldn't pick up her phone. I knew she knew I was the one calling, but why is she suffering? Not only that, but I need to call her again or go find her. This is what I would do now. As I called her the phone vibrated which made me know that it was ringing. I waited for her to pick up the call, but again she didn't answer, so I decided to drop a message for her so she could read it. “Mona I know full well that you are reading this message Immediately the notification came, but it is unclear to me why you are acting this way I really need to have some discussions with you face to face but why did you choose to do this to me, I really need to see you I don't know what is troubling you, but you can share the problem with me remember that a problem shared is a problem solved so just tell me anything, and we can solve it together okay I really know that you are troubled inside, but you are not willing to open up to me, please say something
A GLIMMER OF TRUSTMONA'S POVI saw Bradley's message the notification came to my phone I took a little bit of time to reply to him his words were touching in my heart they were emotional to me, I never wanted to reply those messages I wanted to be left alone for some time before I speak with anyone I needed some space to myself, but he wouldn't let me be. I think he is distressed about me but what did he want me for I just have to text him. “You keep disturbing me. I wanted to have some time to myself, but your emotional words wouldn't let me be. I just replied to you for a reason. Okay, not there I required you around me. Okay, you Just have to learn to let me be okay. I really require some space for myself.

Bradley was hurried inside that night as he was shivering due to the cold weather. His attempt to enter his room was hindered by a bold and thick voice. "Where do you think you're headed? What's making you rush to enter? What's the genuine matter?Although everything was dark, Bradley was unable to see the person speaking to him. He moved closer to see who he was, but his vision was unable to see the person speaking.I am speaking with you. Why are you approaching me like you don't know who it is or have you become insane? The voice spoke to him. As the voice spoke once more, Bradley knew it was his stepfather. He was unable to act, so he paused and showed reverence to his father. I repeat, where are you coming from? I won't say it again. “E…mm” he was about to stammer because the fear in him wouldn't allow him say anything because he was always afraid of his stepfather anytime he is close to him because of the way he treated him, he didn't have anything to say any more so he had
Secrets and suprisesMONA'S POVI had to sneak in quietly to alert no noise in the peaceful home because I think everyone including my mom would have gone to bed by now. I rushed to go inside my room to have some rest because of the stressful and hard day I have been getting since today. I really need some time to rest my head. As I tried entering inside my room a voice called out my name which sounded like my dad's voice. “Mona, where are you coming from? I looked to the direction the voice called me beside me, and truly it was my dad. “Where are you coming from? He asked again but I was short of words. I didn't know what exactly to say or do, so I had to tell him the truth about where I was. “Dad, I did have a stressful day today considering the matter at hand. In my mom's case I was overthinking and had to go to a cool place to clear my head. You know mother's situation is becoming worse as each day passes by. I know I have said all this before, but the problem is I don't real
When courage meets crueltyBRADLEY'S POVFear was all over me as I heard the voice of my father. I was more afraid because my mother was beside me and I didn't know his next action towards us. I saw his face being frowned and that wouldn't be a good sign.“Well well well I see your both are having a meeting because of wow I see” He said as he came closer to us” The room was silent as he spoke, tension was both in me and my mother’s face because neither of us was expecting that. I never saw him coming. He took a step closer to where me and my mom sat down, his eyes blazing with anger. “And you, you're just as bad”, he said and spat on her. You are always siding with him even if he is bad or wrong, supporting the wrong things he always does. You are the reason he is soft and cold. He shouted at my mother. “Suddenly, my mom stood up. I was surprised by her courage and tried to calm her down, but she forced herself up and talked back at him despite the anger and venom in his face. “Tha
Confronting the TruthIt was a bright day as the morning was sunny. Mona was getting ready to answer Alex, which she did promise she would come. Mona stood up from her sleeping position and went towards the direction of the bathroom. “Wow what a bright and sunny day I hope for today to bring forth good thing” She came out to the living room, where her father sat down. She greeted him but when she was about to leave the room she turned and saw her mother at a corner of the room sitting alone. Likewise, she thought of going to her to embrace her bit on another thought she had to stay away before she could hit her again, then she only had to fade her hands to her. “Father, I am about to go to a friend's place. Okay, I will be back soon, but I am not ready yet. I just came to greet you before I remembered to inform you about where I am about to go,” Mona said in a low voice, allowing her mother not to be aware of it. “Okay, my lovely daughter, but are you rushing? I think you should s
