Brittany walked in to the hospital and immediately the smell of clean floor, mixed with drugs hit her hard. That was always the bitter sweet part of coming to see her mother. She hated the smell of hospitals. It always had a way of reminding her of the pain and suffering that she had been through for a long time. Nevertheless, she still needed to know how her mother was fairing. She hated leaving her alone for an extended period of time and it has been ages since she last checked up on the woman. She had to ensure that she was fine. She walked through the halls of the hospital, trying to see if she could remember any of the faces she was seeing. She couldn't but for some reason, she felt odd as she walked to her mother's room. "Ah, miss Brittany!" One of the nurses greeted her as she was walking out. She could not remember the nurse name because lots of nurses had attended to her mother when she was at the hospital but she did remember her face. "Nurse, good evening," she greeted
Brittany wasn't surprised. After all, her father had always been a pain in the ass before and the man was known for his most ridiculous lies. She already knew that sooner than later, the man would want to pull his "I am a man" card and bully them like he used to do in the past. She could tell that her mother was blinded and would do anything the man wanted because she still loved him, but Brittany had no iota of love for the man. She hated him more than she ever did before and she was going to make sure that she kicks the man out of their lives for ever. "Help me understand something. You come back into our lives to try and apologize and make things right with us and yet somehow, you end up commanding me and telling me what you are going to do?" "I am not telling you what I am going to do. I am only saying that I cannot leave this family when I just got back. I came back here to make things right with my family...""Well we don't fucking want you around. We don't want you to make an

"What?" Brittany asked startled by his presence. Levi walked calmly and took a seat in Steven office. He looked sternly at both of them, waiting for an answer to the question he asked and the more they remained mute, the angrier he got. "I believe that I am talking to people now, aren't I? So can someone please tell me what is going on here. What exactly are you people trying to hide from me?" He asked with a more urgent tone. "Okay, look we are not trying to hide anything from you. We were just..." "Now before you even finish that statement, let me just tell you that I know for a fact that you are lying. And trust me, I don't believe a word coming from your mouth right now." "How do you know for a fact that I am lying? I may just be telling the truth but you don't want to believe me because you have always had a problem with trusting me." "If you know what is best for you, I would advise that you stop lying to me then. Because the more you lie, the more I begin to not trust you
"Look if I am to be completely honest with you right now. I don't completely like the way you are sounding. It seems like you are too eager to get this done. And that is the same way Natalie was before she went out of her way to ruin things for us.""Listen to me, Natalie is not the type to be trusted. I am. But I am telling you the honest truth, if we don't act fast and now! We are going to lose everything we had ever wanted." "No, I think it's too risky for us to go back into the water like that. I think we still need to test the waters and you know, find out if there is anything that can be done to secure the kind of future we want." "Without Levi?!" Both girls said simultaneously as if in complete shock. "Maybe! I mean, look at what this is doing to us. We can't even think straight because of how messed up this all is. I say we restrategize and just find another way." "Okay, there is no other way. We have tried everything there is and yet somehow, poverty still lingers with us

"Mom, did you hear what your loving husband just said to me?" Brittany asked dumfounded that her mother couldn't see how terrible the man was. "Okay, now I am sure that he did not mean those words he said. Did you Frank?" Her mom asked. "Oh but I did. I meant every word I said. Look, I don't know what your daughter is doing to make money...""But somehow you know that I am making money and that's the real reason why you are back, isn't it? You want to take what rightfully belongs to me. You want to find a way and sneak back into my life so that you can finally get all the money that you need to leave again. Well, I have news for you, daddy. I will not be giving you anything at all. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to ensure that you don't get so much as a dime from me. And if your plan is to use my mother to get to me, I can assure you now that it won't work. Believe me when I tell you that in as much as I love my mother, I will never allow her to waste my hard ea
Brittany slumped into the couch in the waiting area. She could not believe that her mom would actually chose her father over her. Especially since the man treated them so badly. Is it that she could not remember all the evil things he did? Granted, she did not see her husband that much because she was not even stable to be engaged with a lot of things in the house but surely, she should have heard the beating that the man consistently gave her. How could she then allow such a person back into their lives and how could she be so cruel as to choosing him over her? As tears ran down her face, she feared that she will ever be able to forgive her for what she had just done. She should have ordered the man out of her life. She should have told him that she never wants to see his face anyway around them again, instead of allowing him to come into their lives and cause a drift between them. The tears kept falling down her face the more she thought about it. She could not understand what so
