Take My Hand.

I ran up into my room crying and avoiding the pain and anger that was beginning to flood through my veins. I slammed my door and sat against my wall, waiting for the moment she threw open the door. I heard her trudge up the stairs “Ashley Elizabeth Davies!” she screamed as my door flung open

“mom please stop it!” I screamed through my tears

“don’t you ever slam that fucking door in my face!” she screamed “you worthless piece of shit!” she added then I just lost it

“worthless?! How the fuck am I worthless?! You drive dad to the point where he leaves! I hate you!” I screamed and she slapped me across my face

“if you were half as smart as your sister you’d leave this fucking house!” she yelled about to hit me again, but I couldn’t take it…so I pushed her away from me and that was the night I learned never to fight back.

“mom…Ashley’s staying here tonight” I told my mom walking through the front door and Ashley followed behind me

“Ashley…honey how are you?” my mom asked her coming up and giving her a hug and Ashley almost started to cry

“a lot better” she replied then my mom wiped a tear off of Ashley’s cheek “sorry…it’s just been a really long time since I’ve been hugged by a mom” Ashley admitted and it nearly broke my heart

“well whatever you need…don’t ever be afraid to ask” my mom told her

“thank you so much” Ashley said then I took her hand and we went up into my room and I closed the door behind me walking over to my dresser and getting some clothes to sleep in

“hey I think these are yours…” I told Ashley holding up a pair of boy shorts

“…yeah I’m pretty sure those are mine” she said blushing and I threw them at her then I threw a beater at her too to sleep in and she pulled her shirt over her head exposing her toned and tanned abs and I tried not to stare too long and she caught me a blushed “oh…uh sorry” she said nervous then I just laughed a little
