Chapter#5

Hey! Margale, My love is here.' miss Jane Eyre exclaimed.

'Hey there, Mrs. Eyre.' I replied.

'So what are you up to nowadays?'

'Em... nothing much just college.'

'I see.'

'You've gon' prettier Margale, what is the secret?' she said shouldering me.

'Nothing, just was born with such beauty.' I said winking at her

She is my mum's colleague at art gallery, As well as her bestie from college. They both put their blood and sweat to their work and of course gallery is going just fine and fantastic.

My mum also work as a social worker but it's like a "part time" job that she does to make a comfortable and affordable life. It's not like we are tight or something we are just doing fine without that man.

'She bunked are classes to help us today.' Mum told aunt.

'Really?' aunt exclaimed in joy.

'Yeaa...' I lied scratching my head.

'Great...'

'...Now that you are here...' she said rubbing her hands

...dump the garbage bag outside.'

'No... Ahh I have somewhere to go. Ill be back soon... Ahhh byee... Bye mum, meet you at.... Home? Yea home....BYE!!!' I said one last time before slamming the door.

'Help us? my ***!' my aunt shouted as I left.

My dear savage Aunt Eyre.

Walking on the random streets observing random people. Thinking about how every person in this world is just living their very individual life, young kids going to school while playing around, grandma with the cat in her hands are walking in pet store probably gon' buy that little buddy some snacks. People in hurry trying to get on their particular jobs on time.

How weird is that you are the main character in your own life and just imagine how many main characters are roaming around in this world, doing their own regular work, funny to me. The only difference is everyone has different point of views, a different perspective, a different rationale, a different motive to live.

With all these thoughts, I heard a ding from my pocket.

I took my mobile out and saw the notification.

My heart stopped. Random stomach ache, Nervousness, Nausea, I ran home even before opening to tab.

I went straight to my room. I turned my laptop on. There it was. The email I've been waiting for so damn long.

Did I make it?

To my dream college?

Maybe not?

Am I capable enough?

I prayed my heart out before opening it.

'What the actual ****?'

'Did i just read?'

'No like really I made it to EGH high?' I said shaking my laptop expecting my laptop to go like ' yeaa bestiee you made it.' Or something like that.

'Gotta tell mum'

I picked up my phone to call mum but she called before I could.

I picked up without allowing myself to waste a split second.

'yo mum gotta tell you some good n....'

'Where are you?' she sounded terrified.

'What happened mum?' I asked.

'Replay me what I asked WHERE ARE YOU?'

'Mum I...'

'You're not home right?'

'I am... but what happened?'

'Get out! Run gales, Get out of there, hurry up before your dad arrives.'

'That person is coming? Right now?'

I heard the door bell rung.

'Hurry up gale! Out of house now! Idk what he'd do to you if I am not around.'

'Open the fucking door! I just saw you running in you mugblood.' Father shouted.

'Ok mum don't worry I've got this' I hung up.

I couldn't run through the front door cause he is there beating it, nor the door is too powerful to afford his beating longer than five minute, short period, tough challenge. If I dropped the rope and climbed down with the sun that high up he would definitely wait for me to climb down so that he could sent me up again and by 'up' I mean high up in heaven.

The **** am I suppose to do.

All I can do right now is to play hide and seek.

Come on I am a 'soon to be' student of Edgestow high college, I can manage this much.

The front door swung opened.

'Give me a break! Huh? Please.' I mouthed silently.

I hid in my closet. What easier place you can hide other than closet for the serial killer to guess.

The dumbass of mine, but effort appreciated.

I heard some steps going in my mum's room, heard some knocks and thuds, probably mum placed money somewhere else.

And then I heard the front door opened and closed.

I sighed and send a grateful message to God.

As I was about to get out I felt a presence in my room. I stayed there quietly. Not wanting to move, not want to let the other person know that I was there hiding in the closet.

The closet door swung opened. I pressed my knees to my chest dropping my face on my knees.

Fucking hell, God definitely is talking all the entertainment from my life.

Someone sighed. I heard it. It gave me Goosebumps.

I could definitely feel the person so close to me.

'Are you okay?'

'Mum?'

'Aah! You scared me.' I said lifting up my head, having a sight around.

'Yikes! That was dreadful.' I said walking out of the closet.

'Really? That the best place you found in this huge house to hide?'

'I mean he didn't find me. So plan was a success.'

'He didn't intend to!' my mum replied.

'Maybe he just couldn't find me.'

Yeah! He ain't that of bastard that you considered him to be.'

'Look who is saying, you told me to hide' I said shook off the dirt on my black hoodie.

'Yeah! Maybe he wants to change?'

Urgh! This bitch gets me every time.

'Mum he don't love you anymore. He is just using you for money you give him for drugs, not just him but his trippy, space cadet friends as well. You're just paying for their drug bills. Why are you so naive mum you better get rid of that m...'

'Enough talking for today. I am leaving for work now, make some sandwich to help you hungry stomach.'

'Mum just accept the fact.'

'Stop gale!'

'Mum how are you going to survive like this? Would you just linger around him like this?'

'Give it a break Margale you are crossing the line.'

'Let me mom. He is a treat to his own daughter, what else do you expect from him? To change? Do you really think he loved you at some point?'

Enough! Margale.

'Mum that kinky *** mf* just want your money And He Is Never Changing!'

'MARGALE!' She slapped me.

'Not a word against him!' she said politely yet angrily grinding her teeths controlling her words.

I felt the sting on my cheek, they were burning red. I could feel it.

'Mum...' I called her with tear in my eyes as she backed away.

'If you had to choose one between me and that man! Who would you choose?' I asked with my whole chest.

Answer me!' I added.

She left without saying a word.

I am scared.

If I left her here, like this, with that man roaming here and there in this house. I am scared for her. Although she the only one I have. **** 'EGH high'.

I am not going there!

I'll stick by my mum. My current college is not that bad. Or should I say,

I am not more besotted for EGH high than my mum. She is my first priority and always will be.
