You got the wrong Nerd

"Get out of here and never come back!" The landlord shouted, slamming the door in the faces of the mother and daughter. Their luggage had just been tossed unceremoniously onto the street.

"Please, p..." The little girl's pleas fell on deaf ears.

Some of their neighbors had gathered to watch the show. Only a few even bothered to plead with the landlord for them, while the rest just mocked the mother and daughter.

Kaila broke down in tears, clutching her small backpack tightly. "Mum, what are we going to do now?" she asked, looking up at her mother, Ella, whose beautiful face was marred by tears.

Ella had her face turned to the side with her eyes shut as she thought of how and where they would sleep tonight.

Kaila blinked her big blue eyes at her mother. "Uncle Benny doesn't want us to stay here anymore right? Where are we going to go?" She had a vague idea of what was happening, but one thing was sure... Her uncle didn't want them to stay in the house anymore.

"Is it..." She began furrowing her brows. "Is it because I slept in the living room?" As soon as those words came out of her mouth, they opened wide and her hands went to cover them. "It's because of me isn't it. I did something wrong that's why Uncle Benny is towing our things out." Kaila cried.

Ellla was completely shut of words. Her daughter really thought that it was because of her they were getting thrown out? If anything she was the reason why 'Uncle Benny' even allowrd them to stay this long!

How can anyone be annoyed with such a cute face?

"I'm sorry, so sorry," Kaila continued to cry hugging her hands to herself.

"It's not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong okay," Ella said with a grunt.

The frustration mixed with her daughter's tears caused her to open her eyes. She pursed her lips, staring at the apartment building they had just been thrown out of. That man couldn't give her even one more day...just one more day to gather the money.

But no... he had to toss them out onto the street. How thoughtful.

"Damn it!" she shouted, brushing her long black hair back with shaking hands.

Everything was crumbling and crashing down it was just so overwhelming.

"Your house wasn't even nice!!!" She yelled in anger at the huge building, and somehow the building... Probably the landlord shouted back.

"Better find a place your daughter would sleep for the night! I feel bad for the girl. How the hell did she end up with an irresponsible mother like you!"

"Why you..."

"You should have left her with her father!!!"

All the words she was about to say just went back to her throat as the landlord words rang in her head.

'You should have left her with her father...'

She blinked twice to stop the tears which were about flowing from her eyes.

She couldn't do that, she really couldn't. Not only because she couldn't bear to part with her child, but also because she had absolutely no idea who her father was!

'Don't you dare cry Ella, he's not worth it.' She whispered to herself, blinking again before looking up.

That Uncle Benny was crossing his limits, more like he had crossed every fucking possible limit and was now in her freaking road!

"Mum?" Kaila called, her face etched with confusion as she looked up at her mother.

She could only hear a few words her mother and Uncle said... More like yelled to each other, but couldn't understand any of them.

Eloise noticed that her daughter was picking up on her frustration, so she forced a smile on her face. "Let's just get out of here first," she said with a sniffle but little Kaila stood still.

'They were leaving, they were really leaving! Couldn't mummy beg Uncle Benny so they would stay here longer?' Kaila said as she stared at the building their luggages just got hauled out of.

Eloise sighed, sensing her daughter's hesitation. She dropped her bags and knelt to cup Kaila's face in her hands. "Please, we can't just stand here. It's about to rain, and we need to find somewhere safe."

Reluctantly, Kaila nodded.

Eloise smiled through her tears, patting her daughter's cheek before standing up. "Alright. Pick up your bags. We need to find shelter before the rain starts."

Kaila hesitated but finally complied, her lips pouting in annoyance, this wasn't her first rodeo. For the past two years, her previous uncle's had been doing the exact same thing Uncle Benny just did now. Even the exchange of shouts were the same, only that this time her mother wanted to cry.

She almost never cries.

As they moved away, a gust of wind whipped through the empty street, and the first drops of rain began to fall.
