His ride and Pride

Chapter 1

Heart's

Heart right? Unusual name yet so unique. I haven’t heard it a lot . Am a twenty three year old orphan . I don’t know who my parents are neither do I want to waste my energy knowing who they are , I am one of those kids dumped in a dustbin picked by a good Samaritan garbage collector not even sure how I survived in a dumpster with all the filth inside Miracle I guess , I was named Heart Elorie , no clue who even named me that . I was taken to an orphanage run by a catholic church .

I spent my 17years in that asylum , I call it asylum because of how strict and tough they were freedom was a very distant hallucination , they did do some good things though , like teach me how to act like a lady and maintain my dignity , how to eat ,and proper etiquette s*x was a sin , according well to them . That didn't stop me from watching porn and learn how to kiss.

I made a friend , her name was Eleanor , she and I grew so close , I loved how don’t care she was , she was often called to Mother Superior's office . She defied 90%of the rules . She was such a free spirit . Someone I could easily get along with and she clicked with me so easily .

Until one night when she began to feel unwell , I got her some painkillers , she kept throwing up . I suspected something was a miss .

I sent the mail man to buy some pregnancy tests , he did so bribed him with twenty bucks to shut up from telling those warthogs in uniforms, she took the test it came out positive , she was pregnant . Pregnancy was by far worse in the orphanage that would by a quick send off without any consideration .

"Who’s the dad?” I asked her .

" Its Austin's " she said . I was quite surprised. Austin is her bad boy boyfriend , he was a drug dealer and has been in jail for possession of illegal firearms , Eleanor was a molly fan , I was scared it may affect her pregnancy luckily she assured me she has been clean for two months , Austin was twice her age . She just didn't care about it she loved him and that was just it.

Months went by , she hid her pregnancy until she couldn’t hide it anymore , her bump was catching up quite fast no trench coat could cover the bump .

"Eleanor you are no longer part of this community you have done a sinful act of fornication "Mother superior said .

" whatever b***h! "She said.

"Please mother , she's only pregnant having a child isn’t a crime where will she go ? This isn’t the Victorian era "I said .

" the board has made its decision , as well as I myself "She said . f**k the cunt board!

"Okay fine then let the f*****g board know am also leaving!” I said .Eleanor was not just my friend she was my sister , plus where how would a seventeen year old pregnant girl go to all alone .

We left at seven in the evening , everyone watched us as the nuns, sisters and mother superior gave us "shame" looks of disgust .

"You didn’t have to Heart " Eleanor said .

" I care about you "I said ,

"Thank you love " she said , she always liked calling me love as Heart was almost similar to love .

We went to Austin’s apartment , it was quite big but very uncomfortable smell of drugs and alcohol , I will keep a close watch on Eleanor so she doesn’t do drugs while pregnant , with a baby girl . Austin deeply loved her he spoiled her with clothes and did baby shopping for her , I wish I found someone would love me like that she would bring the goodies he got her to the cube some she would give me while we were at the orphanage , Eleanor and Austin were like the modern day Joker and Harley Quinn. She loved him because he was a badass , who didn’t give a f**k about life but at times I was worried about her , their arguments gave me scares , one day he caught her by her throat and said "sometimes I fantasize about killing you but because you are pregnant I cant ". Eleanor convinced me it was nothing he was just joking after watching a b**m movie , which of course I didn’t buy the excuse , I kept my eyes open .

I managed to secure a job at a local restaurant , I made some income but things weren’t looking up between Eleanor and Austin , he was a control freak and a psycho at some point, he would not only abuse her verbally but physically , I feared for my friend's life more than anything. I tried all I could to stop him from hurting her.

She gave birth eventually to a beautiful baby girl , she named her Mighty Love . She was so cute . I was so happy for her cant wait to have mine , though the birth process was scary yet magical , just to see a baby pop out of the v****a as it stretched was so weird and amazing .

Two weeks later Eleanor was back into drugs , she didn’t breastfeed her Daughter , she would neglect the child , I fed her baby formula and was compelled to take her to work with me , as I had a bad feeling about leaving her with her mother . I resigned from working in the restaurant and got an offer to work in a five star hotel , at least my pay would be higher as well as I would have enough time to take care of Mighty .

One day I came from work with Mighty as usual , by then she was three months old .

The door was open strange but nothing was missing so I ruled out robbery , I called Eleanor but there was no answer, I laid Mighty in her cradle . I went to look in every room as my guts felt a bitter taste , something wasn’t right , the house was so silent , I opened the door to Eleanor' bedroom , I screamed at the sight of what was before me , She lay in bed bloody with foam coming from her mouth her eyes wide open next to her was Austin he too laid in the same position , there was a lot of blood dripping on the floor , I ran out , took Mighty who was by now awake , he baby bag and ran out , tears streaming down my cheeks luckily there was a police patrol car just outside the apartment , I ran towards it , the police officer got out .

"She’s....she.. she’s... help me ... she’s .. he’s ... in. Bed .... oh my god ! No !" I stammered barely able to compose myself .

"Maam I can't understand what you are saying please stay calm" he said, stay f*****g calm ! My best friend is dead on her bed along with her boyfriend how will I stay calm !

"Just follow me " I managed to say , as I led them to the apartment and to the room of where their bodies lay , but didn’t get inside I didn’t want Mighty to see her parents laid in bed naked and dead.

", we have a situation " one of the officers said on his walkie talkie . The other led me away from the room and asked me to sit in the living room , I held on Mighty poor baby she didn’t deserve this . She looked up at me innocently unaware of what I was going on.I soothed her back to sleep
