"Yes. If only they hadn't been at that stupid rehearsal that day..if only they had not seen you skate, they wouldn't have stopped loving me. They would never have comparedto you in the first place!" Angelina concluded with a heavy out burst. The memories from the day her parents had begun comparing her to Leonica flooded back into her mind rather, they resurfaced from the dark part of her mind in which she had buried them, causing tears to well up in her eyes. Tears of anger and hatred..
Leonica however, stared unaffected by either her words nor actions.
Apart from the fact that she had no recollection of ever meeting Angelina when she was younger, fifth grade to be precise as that had been when she has slated, saw no reasoning in what Angelina had just said. Was it her fault that her parents weren't contempt with the daughter they were given? Obviously not "Angelina," She began, eyes gravitating towards the flour for a few seconds before meeting Angelina's once more. "I'm sorry for the way your parents treated you. But that's on them not me. They are the ones you should hate, not me. "What?" Angelina breathed, her brain refusing to comprehend Leonica's words.
After sixteen years of harboring rotten hatred for someone, believing that that person had been the cause of her misfortune, she was suddenly now being told that that believe had been wrong Impossible! "You shut up!" she sneered. "Who are you to tellwho I should and shouldn't be angry with?! You have no fucking right! shut up!" at this point, she was fighting against the shackles and the warden walked in.

"You think you've won, Leonica, but you haven't! You haven't! I will would holddown!" t my revenge, mark my words because not even these shackles Those were the last words Leonica heard and no matter how much she tried for ignore them for the rest of the day, she couldn't. And a few days later, she was more than thankful that she hadn't. Act Fat Frue Bonus Tis Running Out Claim Forget-Me-Not.
The next day, Leonica had taken just about enough tout from her work schedule to have Ashley taken to school by herself.
As they pulled up in the parking lot of his school and Leonica gathered his bag and lunch box, the boy turned to face her.
"Mommy?" He called out to her.
"Yes darling?" Leonica answered all the while trying to ensure that she had packed everything he'd need for the school day, earlier in the morning.
"When can I go and see daddy again?" She halted at his question and looked at him. "What?" "Thaven't seen daddy in a long while," Well, not long, just the last two weeks she had stopped him from visiting Gabriel because she thought his chances of waking up were growing slimmer with each passing day. In short, her intention was to make sure the younger boy wouldn't be hurt when his father didn't wake up any longer. And she also hoped that slowly, he'd grown to forget about Gabriel. But sadly, that wasn't happening anytsoon and now that Gabriel was awake, with amnesia, she had yet another problem on her band. "Ash, you you can't visit daddy for now." She tried to explain or rather sooth the younger boy.
But her words did the opposite of her intention. "Why's that?" the boy questioned with a frown. "Does daddy hateand no longer want to see me?" "No!" Leonica was quick to shush his negative thoughts, especially when she saw the glossy liquid forming in the corners of his eyes. "No, your daddy loves you, a lot. It's just that, it's just that for now, you can't see him, Ash." *Why?" *Doctor's orders. For now, daddy's recovering, hence only mommy is allowed to see him." She lied.
Ashley processed his mother's words for a few seconds and although he was glad that his father was in recovery stage, he couldn't help but feel Jealous towards the fact that only his mother was allowed to visit.
This in turn, lead him to pour in an upset manner that Leonica felt cute despite the situation "Ash," I also want so want to see daddy. Why's only you allowed to see daddy?" He questioned and at his point, had his hand folded across his chest. "Because adults are working, Ash." "Worlding?" He questioned with a tilt of his head and for the next five seconds, tried to find the closest meaning to his mother's words. And when it seemed like he had, his eyes visibly brightened up. "Are you and daddy working in making my younger sibling?!" Leonica chocked, coughing a few times at the unexpected question "You promised to go to the hospital with daddy after my birthday and have the doctor help you make my younger siblings. Is that why he doesn't wantcoming around..." "Ash... Ashley, stop it. That's enough." Leonica raised her index finger, indicating he should keep silent for the tbeing. Thankfully, he remained silent just long enough for Leonica to regain her composure. "Don't say that anymore and DON'T stare atso innocently." She sternly advised "Why thought?" He questioned, blinking innocent gray eyed at his mother. "Did I say something wrong? Are you and daddy not making my younger sibling?" "Ashley!" Leonica shook her head. "That's enough baby. If you keep talking like this, you're going to be late for class." She nudged her head in the direction of the entrance where other children were already rushing in, giggling and interacting with their peers.

"Don't forget to eat your lunch and stay away from rough plays." She handed him his lunchbox and pecked him on the forehead which was followed by her usual affection filled hug and a final peck on the check when they separated. "Now, off you go." "Bye Mom" Ashley said and began running in the direction of the school, but half way there, he stopped and rushed back to his mother "Did you forget something?" she questioned.
Ashley nodded and reached into his pocket, pulling a small forget-me-not golden Key chain and pytting it in his mother's hand. Please give this to daddy when you see him. "He said and closed her hand, kissing her knuckles lightly before he turned around and resurned his journey. "That Kid must really love his father. Leonica thought as she stared at the keychain in her hand.
Her thought was interrupted at the sound of approaching footsteps from beside her. Looking away from the &. keychain stuffing it into her pocket in the process, she watched as Arvan approached, stopping beside her with a smile on his lips. "Hey onell His greeting was returned with a smile of a her own and a small wave, "Hey Arvan. Here to drop off Daisy, I assume?"
He nodded, his smile growing bigger as his gaze landed on his daughter who had met up with Ashley and they both chatted feverishly as they walked into the school's building "She's excited about the field trip they're having today." He explained, earning a nod of understanding from the woman "That's good." She said, only to wonder why Ashley hadn't been as excited as Daisy, but instead worried about Gabriel.
Did he really love that man that much?
