EPISODE 01: ABANDONED

I woke up that morning to the sound of glass shattering and raised voices, hurriedly I went down the stairs to see the cause of the chaos although I had barely had any sleep last night since Diamond had suffered from a cold,mom didn't come home last night,Dad as usual drank himself to stupor and Danielle wouldn't be bothered since she wasn't really keen on being a big sister especially to one she wasn't particularly fond of.

'leave me the f**k alone Richard,I'm so done with you and all of these bullshit going on and until you look for a solution for all of these don't bother showing up in front of me ever again'.My mom Beatrice yelled at my dad remained on his knees pleading profusely and saying he needed a little more time to take care of it but then again my mom wasn't having any of that.

Apparently,my mom was fed up and already made up her mind to leave my dad as she ignored his pleadings and went inside immediately to pack her stuffs and then went to wake up Daniella who had unsurprisingly slept through the whole chaos all this while.

"mummy"

"yes baby,it's mummy,wake up we're leaving'.My mum said in a very calm voice.

'where are we going?

'somewhere nice and very pretty,you'll like it there I promise '.She soothed again and went packing and arranging Daniella's things alongside hers.

Even in my young mind,I knew she had plans to take alongside with her Daniella and leave myself and Diamond to our faith but then again I didn't want to believe I was right.

'Mom shou.... should I go get I and Diamond's stuffs too?,I stammered as I asked fearfully.

I and mom never really had a perfect daughter and mother relationship,I mean at first,she wasn't mean to me but then Daniella was her favorite,while she barely tolerated I and Diamond surprisingly.Maybe because Daniella looked more like her tho.

I wasn't all that much surprised when my mum barked and cursed at me, telling me to go to hell for all she cared,she was never supposed to have birthed me nor Diamond,we only but ruined her life and career,a freaking mistake was what we are and Daniella was the only good thing that came out of it and then prayed and hoped I live a miserable life just like my Father and oh I could go on and tell you word for word all the hurtful things she'd said over and over again.

Her rantings seemed to have woken Diamond from her sleep cause although she was barely five years old she seemed to understand what was going on and started crying uncontrollably.

I was still in shock for although I knew mother didn't really fancy me nor Diamond but then again I didn't knew it was up to this extent,but then knowing I had to at least do something I started begging and pleading with my beast of a mother to at least take Diamond along with herself and Daniella then leave me behind with my father but then my twin sister opposed to it immediately saying Diamond cried all the time and she couldn't tolerate having her arouse and I could take care of her myself.

Of course mum paid deaf ears to all I had to say and obliged Daniella who I know only voiced out mum's thoughts but then I couldn't just give up,I continued begging but then mum remained unfazed as she and Daniella walked out the door and out of our lives for good without as much as a second glance.

For the first time in my life I was totally and completely helpless!!!
