Falling For The Bad Boy

Help At Last

As soon as Miranda died, Rolland left the house to live with his mistress. Taylor had been thirteen while Coco was only a few months old.

Taylor took her mother's last words to heart and did everything in her power to provide for them. The land lord of the house kicked them out saying he couldn't harbour them any longer.

Taylor had no immediate relatives, well none that she knew of. Her mother grew up in an orphanage and not really being all rosy with her dad,she knew very little of his family. That aside,no family member had ever visited them apart from various ugly women covered in make up who usually visited when her mum was at work.

All that reminiscing in her memory, Taylor didn't cry or break down, instead she strapped Coco to her back and packed the few things they had and left.

She went in search of a home but no one was ready to take them in,no one cared. She dreaded going to an orphanage due to the unpleasant tales she had heard from her mother and besides, she didn't want her baby sister to grow up in such an environment.

After hours of a futile search, the dark approached and with it an impending rain. Taylor was heartbroken, she didn't care about herself, she was worried about Coco. The poor child was too young to suffer such harsh realities of life. The rain had already started in small showers when Taylor came across a small dilapidated building.

She knocked on the door and an old lady opened it. "Ma'am can you please help us. I and my sister have no where to go,we're orphans. Please let me stay here for the night, I promise I'll leave in the morning. I'm only worried about my sister, I don't want her to get sick,I can't afford to buy drugs now." Taylor pleaded.

The old lady smiled. "Come in dear,why are you standing there? You're getting wet." The woman said and ushered her in.

Taylor told the woman her story and the old lady took pity on her. She told her she could stay as long as she wanted. Taylor thanked her and was really grateful.

She went from house to house doing different chores and babysitting just to raise money to support her new family.

The old Lady, whose name was Rose but she just called grandma Rose,was very nice and also supported her.
