Chapter 64
My mom and the other woman carefully walk towards me. My eyes brim with tears as I take in my mothers’ appearance. She looks like she lost weight, her daisy yellow blouse hanging loosely around her collar bones. Taking a hold of my hand, she kisses my palms and holds them close to her heart.
“Mom.” I whisper causing her to look up in shock.
“You…you remember me?” She asks wide eyed.
“How can I forget you mom.” I say through sobs.
I carefully get out of bed trying my best not to tug on the IV poll and I embrace her in a hug. We cry into each other until there are no more tears left. She makes me sit back on the bed and I do so without any complaints. I feel drained, but it’s nothing compared to this feeling of wanting to be with my mom.
“Do you remember me?” Aaliyah whispers, her hands clutched to her chest.
I try my best to remember her, and I see faint memories, but I

Luckily there’s a sticky plastic to the end of it and not an actual arrow, saving us the destruction that would come if it were to hit into something.“That’s my girl.” Adair smiles.Sitting in his lap, I lean back into his chest, the soft fabric of his dark blue sweater giving off warmth. He kisses the top of my head and intertwines his fingers with mine as we watch the two kids play. We sit on

19 years ago "Your nothing but a piece of shit." He snarls at me his large, calloused hand tightly gripping my small chin. I stay still like a stick in the mud not wanting to make any sudden movement that would enrage him even more. "Please don't hurt her, she hasn't done anything wrong. It was me!" My mother, Elizabeth, cries while frantically attempting to remove his grip from my chin with her frail hands covered in faint bruises. "I don't care who it was. Get out of MY house with YOUR daughter." He yells his thunderous voice causing my body to shake in crippling fear. In his other hand, his fingers curl tightly around the bottle of alcohol as my mom pulls me away from him and pushes me behind her, attempting to create distance between us. "Where...where will we go? I don't have enough money to feed her rather than to find a place to live!" Elizabeth sobs. "GET OUT!" He yells throwing th

"Hey mom I'm home!" I yell taking off my black heels in the foyer."Hi honey! I'm in the living room!" Echoes a soft voice.Placing the heels back into my shoe closet, I walk over to the room where my mom sits peacefully on the white couch with her knitting needles and a ball of purple wool, the colors of the sunset streaming from the tall glass windows dancing playfully across her face.The large panoramic windows and the view of having the entire New York City right in our living room was one of the reasons why mom loved this penthouse and why I couldn't resist purchasing it."What are you making?" I ask gently placing a kiss on her forehead."I saw a new sweater pattern and decided to give it a try." She chuckles.Elizabeth Carter is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her light grey eyes compliment her dark mocha brown hair which is neatly tucked in a bun as I have always seen growing up. Her deep laugh lines around her eyes and lips
