Our Entwined Fate

Chapter 2

After dragging her inside the house Brianna made her mother sit on the couch while she moved inside the kitchen to make lemonade. After 10 minutes when she came out she saw her mother having a bottle of beer in hand.

Her long silky hair was now completely tangled, her dark skin was filled with sweat and her honey brown eyes were now dark red. Her hands were shivering. Her tall and slim figure was now looking tired and depressed. She was totally in her intoxicated state.

Brianna went near her and immediately snatched the bottle from her hand to stop her from drinking more and said, 

" It's enough for today. Can you please stop drinking. Don't you even care for your daughter? Do you feel nice when I come to that shitty club of your's and everybody stares at me?

Before she could say anything more she was awarded a tight slap on her cheeks. She was shocked for a second. She raised her head and saw her mother seething in anger.

She was gritting her teeth and was trying to control herself. " Shut up. Don't you dare start your stupid lessons? You bloody curse. If you would have died the time you were born it would have been nice. At least I would have moved on from your good for nothing father", said Adah.

" So why have you kept me with yourself? Anyway, you don't care for me then? You could have easily left me at a foster home. Anyway, I am also sick and tired of you and your trashing. I'll le.....", Brianna's words were left her in her mouth only as she was s*****d again.

" Now I'll show you what happens when you try to back answer your mother", said Adah after picking up a belt. She started best beating her on her waist, back, her hands, wrist, thighs, and wherever she could. While Brianna was crying in pain.

" Stop it. I am sorry. I'll not back answer you again. I am sorry pl..le..ase", said Brianna stammering and breathing heavily because her entire body was hurt.

" No! Now I'll show you something and whenever next time you feel like answering me or stopping me from something then remember what happened to you in the past", said Adah in her intoxicated state and picked up her Cigarette and a lighter.

Lighting the cigarette she immediately started giving Brianna cigarette marks on her hand and thighs while Brianna was crying in pain.

Her sweat and tears have mixed up and it feels like it's a mess. Brianna's tears have dried up by the end. She whenever tries to tell her mother something she is always gifted with those burner marks, belt marks, scratches on her body.

After hitting Brianna to her heart's content Adah moved towards her room after taking a bottle of beer in hand and leaving her daughter Lying on the floor and moaning in pain. After gathering all her strength Brianna got up and dragged herself towards her room and closed the door.

Entering inside she sat on the floor with the support of the door and cried her heart out. She cried and cried, cried on her fate, cried that her father left her, cried because her mother didn't want her, cried because she was a burden.

All her life she was tagged as a burden, witch by her mother, and was bullied in her school. She tagged herself as a body with an empty soul.

After resting for some time, she moved towards her bathroom, peeling off the clothes she stood in front of the mirror looking at her bruised self. She couldn't look at herself, she looked horrendous with all the marks on her body, the marks from the previous time has not yet gone and new ones were already there.

" I sometimes think that I am a curse, when everybody lives a normal life I am living in an unstable environment. I have always been juggling Between studies, cafe, home, and my dearest mother. What a life. I don't think that I can have someone who could love me. I thought that at least I'll have a guy who would love and cherish me but this disgusting marks on my body would never let anybody love me", thought Brianna.

Looking at herself in the mirror,

She could feel her heart and soul Shiver.

Her body and soul that was once beautiful, 

Now had horrendous scars which are nonremovable.

Is caring for your loved a crime?

That she has to face so much every time.

What was her fault that she was born?

Just because, before her birth, her family was Torn. 

Life has become a living hell for her,

Giving up? Nah it was something she didn't prefer.

After having a warm shower she applied some medicines on her wounds and slept on the bed. She hoped that some of her wounds heal because she has her job tomorrow. After thinking about her unstable life, violent mother, her work she slipped into a deep slumber.

Sleep was her only relief, her solution to run away when the pressure increases in life. She slept with the hope of a better and brighter tomorrow.
