She has felt the tears gather many times over the years... but never, not even once had they fallen.
She puts on her brave face, and feels the anger of her mothers hand as she hits her. The tears gather, but she doesn't let them fall, she'd never give her mother the satisfaction.
The girl clenches her teeth together to keep from screaming out loud as the hits keep coming.
She tries to think of her father, who was free. He was her hsppy place, anywhere her father was... that was where she wanted to be. Or, perhaps you could say anywhere her mother was NOT is where she wanted to be.
The girl didn't feel her mothers harsh hands anymore, instead she felt the love her father had for her. She didn't hear her mothers angry screams, instead she heard her fathers promise "I'll come back for you".
She couldn't help but smile. She knew her father word was good, even if nothing else was.
She knew her mother was done for the night when she heard the fridge slam open through her daydream.
She went to her room, and closed the door, she checked to see what was hurt, she flexed, and her arms screamed. She stretched and her sides whimpered.
The girl collapsed onto her bed, and hid her face in the pillow. She wasn't crying, she just was longing.
She didn't know what made her mother so cold, but she knew she had to get away, but she also knew she had to wait for her father, he had promised.
The girl closed her eyes, and went slack.
Her father was there. Thats how she knew she was dreaming. Her pushed her hair away from her face, and gently picked her up.
"I made good on my promise, didn't I?" He said, as he started to glow. "It's time for you to come home now, baby girl."
"But, papa," she complains. "I'm so tired. Can't we leave in the morning?"
He smiles at her. "It's time for you to go home, now. I'll carry you, baby girl."
"Okay, papa." She smiles, "I love you."
"As I love you." He says and he floats upwards.
"Papa, are we flying?" She askes.
"Shhh, sweetheart, close your eyes." He looked up, with a smile. "We're going home, and you are tired."
She closed her eyes, and they never did open again.
