Chapter 2 : Age Ten is Different...
"So what are you going to do for your tenth birthday this saturday?" April asked Bella.
"I don't know, My mom and Dad have this court thing but never mind about that."
" Okay ...well could you come over to my house this saturday?"
" I'd have to ask but I'm pretty sure I can."
"Great, we can have a slumber party, stay up as late as we can, plus we can go swimming. So bring your suit.
"sounds cool!"
Later when Bella arrived home she saw her mom in the kitchen and thought it would be the perfect time to ask.
" Mom, can I go over to Aprils house on Saturday?" Bella asked.
" But isn't that your birthday?" her Mom stated.
"Yeah, April really wants me to spend the night."
" I don't care Bella." Bella noticed her mom was walking was walking differently. Almost like she had a bruise on her leg.
"Mom are you alright, your leg looks..." her mom interupted her "Bella I'm Fine, can't you see I'm busy here, Go bother someone else. "
" What did I do?" just whens Dad getting home?"
"Nevermind about your father. I dont think...He's working late again, by the way I'm picking you up from school tomorrow."
"No, I want to ride the bus with April !"
Bella noticed her mothers tone of voice was louder.
"Bella , Please I'm picking you up. You got that... You Damn Kid, I try to do something nice for a change and you want to ride the bus!" ..." Bella, why don't we have any Beer around here. It's because of you and your sister isn't it."
"Mom your drunk, aren't you. Just sit down. "
Bella was use to her mother drunk.
Bella reached towards her mothers' arm.
now her mom was yelling
"Bella don't touch me, And who are you to say that I'm drunk."
Bella looked back at this memory and to what happened next as something that was torture to her mind. Bella looked back as if it was yesterday.
Bellas mother grabbed her hand and was squeezing harder. Bella noticed the empty bottle that was once in her mothers hand was shattered on the wooden floor. her mother was screaming now. " You want to know about your father do you!"
" Mom your hurting me!" Bella pleaded.
"well do you!"
Her mother was squeezing harder than ever now. dragged her over to the sofa, And threw Bella down upon the sofa. Bella landed on her face, When she looked up towards her mother she saw the arm that once threw her, in a swinging motion. Bella didn't have much time to react. Her mothers palm met her face. and then countinulsely like her arm was on a rewinding button. Until finally Bella Blacked out.
Bella woke up to her mother passed out, She ran and got the phone, the 1st thing that came to her mind was call April.
ring....ring....rin..."hello"
"hey is April there?" " this is Bella"
"I'm sorry but April is out with her father shopping for school supplies"
"well could ....I come over ?"
Bella heard her mother come over to her " Bella I'm not done with you... who are you talking to.?"
That was all that Bella remembred about that day. And then the next day happened....
