Chapter 1
The environment couldn't be more gloomy. But who is to blame, my heart clenches seeing my mom on the hospital bed. She tries to cover up her pain but she can only do so much when there is a bandage wrapped round her head. It pains me to see her in this condition but it hurt even more knowing who put her in this condition.
I know for a fact that my Dad doesn't really have much affection for us. No matter how mom tries to hide it their constant bickering and loud arguments late at night gave them up.
I could forgive his hate towards me and mom but I cannot and will not forgive him laying his hands on my mom. Aunt Kiki held me in her embrace comforting me. At the age of 14 I've come to realise that my father never really liked me. And I will never understand why. I've tried I really try to make him like me. I crave affection from my dad no matter how smChapter 1

......
The police officer is asking me some questions about what happened that night that led to my mom's hospitalization and I tell him every thing. I really hope they find him and put him behind bars. He absconded after that night when he noticed she was barely breathing after his assault.
.........
Time always moves slow when nothing much is happening and this week has been an example
Mom is currently recuperating we are staying over at Aunt Kiki's. She and my mom have been best friends almost their whole lives. Her daughter is also my best friend a few months older than me. It's been a little over a month and My dad is still on the run. The police have a lead on his location though.
Aunt Kiki sent me and Amanda to get the groceries. My mom is doing better but she needs someone to watch over her. It's hard seeing her struggle with things because of her arm dislocation.
I grab my skate board and Amanda grabs her scooter she believes it's more safe and I can't blame her. I have a small scar on my lips from when I fell from my skateboard while learning.
We head to the store. Aunt Kiki is the chief editor for a fashion magazine. Amanda has sworn that she is going to be a model always taking care of her skin I find it exciting though cause aunt Kiki sometimes takes us to the spa. Mom is a nurse at a popular hospital. She always works long hour shifts. When she is not trying to catch up on her sleep and life she is working. On her day off she works at a local clinic for a few hours as a volunteer nurse. We normally use the remaining hours to catch up. Even though it's never enough most times I really wish she had a less stressful job so we could have more time to talk about school, life maybe boys
The hospital management was kind enough to give her 2 months paid leave. She deserves it anyways since she never completely takes her one month leave.
And me well I'm yet to choose what I want for my self in this life. I'm still hoping for a sign from God. I'm torn between being an actress, a lawyer and a journalist.
"May! May! Are you even listening to me?" Amanda shouts at me. I am clearly lost.
"Ummm sorry.." I reply realising that I zoned out again. I've been doing this a lot lately I need to get a hold on my mind.
"I was asking if we should get the groceries from here or we should go to the other store" Amanda asks
"Nahh the other store" i don't understand why Amanda ever bothers asking every time we come for groceries when the answer is obvious.
We reached the other Store. Audrey's place the huge sign above read. Its a really big store. We always came here since we were kids. It's like a ritual now always coming to shop here. The store holds many memories like when I and Amanda had our first huge fight.
Amanda parked her scooter while I hold my skateboard under my arm. We go in and Amanda pushes the cart while I go through the list and put items in the cart. We always do it this way as Amanda has a special talent for misreading the list.
Amanda says she wants to get doughnuts for us both more like she wants to see the guy in the confectionary area. He is a senior at high-school working during the weekend and part time during week days. I push the stroller looking for Nutella. I can't locate it which is strange. It is always meant to be near the front. I am on the fifth row behind when I finally see them on the top shelf.
Which soul placed it there "Uggh" I groan there's no way I'll be able to reach it not even if I stood on my skate board. I curse my short height. I keep staring at it as though I have telekinetic powers.
"Do you need help with that" a guy behind me asks I nodded not turning. I'm yet to see his face but from his voice I'm swooning yeah I have a thing for deep baritone voices. He stretches over my head and hands me the Nutella.
I finally look at his face and I'm crushing already. I don't know what I was expecting but he is really handsome. The bad boy type of handsome. I barely hear what he says as I'm too busy taking in his look from the leather jacket to the stud on his ear. In order not to embarrass myself I quickly move to leave.
"Thank...you.... umm.. I..I gotta go" I quickly move away. I head to the confectionery area and sure enough there is Amanda talking to the guy that's incharge of the sales. More like blushing while the guy teases her.
I'm on time to hear him make his regular joke he makes cause of a pasy incident it always makes me cringe. "Hope I'm not gonna have to take back all the doughnuts" Amanda giggles she always does. And I just roll my eyes. I strongly know she has a crush on him. But what can I say who wouldn't have a crush on a tall fine and sweet dude.
We head to the cashier and we check out all the stuff we got.
I'm about to move on when I see the handsome bad boy from a while ago get on a motor bike before zooming off.
all but its not meant to be
