* Okay just to let you know Lesley's mom and Janae are the same person. I other words Janae is Lesley's mom.
"I'm home!" Lesley yelled from the door just walking in from a long day of school. She walked into the kitchen and slammed her book bag down onto the table making her mom stir from her bedroom. "Hey honey how was your day?" Janae asked her daughter. Lesley pulled out some school books from her bag, "Fine." She bluntly answered. Janae rolled her eyes, " Lesley I am your mother! I want you to talk to me, hunny!" Lesley looked up and her mom for one split second then thought, "Why is she being so nice to me? She must have something to tell me that I will refuse to do." She rolled her eyes, "Or Chad is coming over!" She screamed at her mom, "Is that why you are being so nice to me today, Mom?" Lesley bit back all the curse words that came to her mind for what she thought of Chad. "Mom, you know I hate him you know I do! Why do you do this to me?" Lesley raised her had to slap her mother's face, but her hand was abruptly caught by Janae's. "Lesley!" Jamie said shockingly, "Chad is coming over why you like it or not, but that is not why I am acting like this.
Lesley shook her head, "Then what is it, huh? Are you sending to boarding school? Africa? Grandma's house? Gosh, Mom what is it? Tell me!" Lesley whined. Janae paused while her daughter continued carrying on, "Lesley if you stop yelling I can tell you!" Lesley threw herself down in one of the four chairs by the table, "Ok go." She smiled, "Come on Mom show me what you got!" Janae sat down in a chair across from her daughter, "Well I am certainly not sending you to Africa, or Grandma's house, but I am afraid that I am sending you somewhere else. You are getting to hard for me to handle, and I love Chad. Obviously you can't handle me loving him, but Chad isn't the reason I am sending you away." Lesley pounded her fist on the table, "God Mom just get out with it. If you want to send me away the sooner the better right?" Janae sighed and looked at her watch, "Okay well Chad is going to be here in about a half an hour so I guess I will just tell you now. To tell you the truth Lesley I wasn't going to tell you until later." Janae paused once again and Lesley shot her a 'get on with it' look.
Janae sighed, "Lesley I am sending you to your father's house." Lesley's face abruptly changed from pissed off to angry astonishment, "My dad? Mom, I haven't seen him for 11 years and you are sending me there now?" Janae argued with Lesley, "Lesley you are 17 now, and I think you need to go stay with him, and you are too hard for me to handle anymore. I have made me decision, and you are going." Lesley got up from the chair and put her hands on her hips, "Still Mom you are sending me to Murdoc's house? How crazy can you be if you think that is going to cure me! I mean have you been to his house? Or Kong, whatever he calls it." Lesley started to cry, "Mom I will go anywhere, but there I will even stay here and let Chad do what he wants and beat me every night. Please don't send me to Murdoc's." Lesley ran over to her mom, "Please!" Janae pushed Lesley away, "No Lesley you are going, and Chad does not even do that to you! How could you even say that? I talked to him and he swore he would never put a hand on you!" Lesley cried and tried to get closer to her mom, "Yes, Mom he does! How can you not believe me! Please Mom!"
'Ding- dong.' The doorbell of Lesley's Mom's suburban home rang signaling that Chad arrived. Janae took one last look at her daughter, "Lesley you leave tomorrow at 11 a.m." Lesley shook her head when her mom opened the door and let Chad in. "I hate you!" Lesley screamed and ran off to her room, and slammed her door. "Mom, I hate you." Lesley whispered to herself and leaned up against the back of her bedroom door finding that walking over to her bed with tears in her eyes was a lot harder than she thought. "Why doesn't she believe me?" Lesley cried to herself, " Chad does do that to me and lot's more! Just because she is 'so in love with him' doesn't mean she can forget about her daughter does it? We used to be so close. I remember when I was little before she met Chad. We used to go to the park and sit and the swings until it was almost too dark to see. Also we used to watch cooking shows and attempt to copy their motions of making the perfect cake, or mastering meringue. We were so close.
Of course that is when she knew that she didn't need a husband. She actually has never even been married. She used to date Murdoc when she was about my age, and the guy got her pregnant with me. After she had me they stayed together for a few years, but then quickly split up when he wanted to start s world blowing band, and she wanted a family. So she moved here with me, and everything was fine except for Chad." Lesley stopped most of her tears and wiped her eyes clean, "I hate him." She swore and got up and walked over to her bed to lie down. She sighed and laid on her back still thinking about the old times with her mom. Soon she drifted into a deep sleep and let her mind wander off her mom, and to the new 'adventures' she would have when she went to live with Murdoc. Last time she visited him when she was six he just let her do whatever she wanted, so maybe it will be better for her. She will have no rules.
Lesley slept for a long time. She slept past dinner, past dessert, and woke up just in time for Chad. Just about every time he comes in he comes at the same time. This time it was no surprise for Lesley. He has been doing it for about two years. Two years too long. This time it was no different. He walked into her room, and woke her up expecting that she would let him do whatever he pleased. But this time Lesley had another idea in mind. She let him do his thing for about five minutes then she screamed, "Mom!" So loud that it did wake up her mom and she came rushing into Lesley's room to figure out what she was screaming about. But Chad was faster and flung himself onto the floor and got into a position that looked like he was in Lesley's room comforting her. "What is going on here?" Janae asked tightening her bath rode a little more around her body. Chad stroked Lesley's hair and turned to Janae, "Janae, she was having a night terror and I came in her to wake her up. I must have startled her, so she called for you."
Janae smiled, "How nice of you Chad! Well do what you need to then come back to bed alright?" Chad nodded and Lesley knew that there was nothing that she could say that would make her Mom believe her as to why Chad was actually in her room. Lesley looked back up at Chad, "Goodnight Chad." Lesley said cockily, and waved her fingers at him. Chad's anger grew deep inside him, "What did you say?" He asked her to see if she would change her answer. Lesley rolled her eyes, "I said Goodnight Chad!" And once again she waved her fingers at him. Chad's face grew redder than Lesley had ever seen it before, and he raised one big fist and made the first blow to her shoulder. "What he hell!" Lesley appointed at him. Chad grabbed her by the neck and held her down closer to the bed, "Shh Lesley, and I will try to make this less painful for you." He raised another fist and made a few more blows to her chest, and her face.
Lesley tried to get another scream out, but she was stopped when Chad picked petite body off her bed and threw her down to the ground, then stood above her and gave a few more swings. Lesley was sure that she felt many open sores, and her body started to bleed, and brutal bruises starting to form all along her body. Soon another blow hit her in the stomach and she gasped for air flipping over on to her stomach making the next few blows hit her in her lower and upper back. Lesley tried to crawl towards her door, but was stopped by Chad pulling her back and hitting her in the face several more times before he left her in her room alone unable to get up, and hardly able to breathe. She pulled herself over to her low vanity mirror and knocked a little makeup mirror off the table. She weakly opened up the mirror and glanced at a different girl staring back at her. This girl had her face and her hair, but there were black and purple bruises and bleeding open sores all over her face. Her makeup was also smudged and running down her delicate face. It was still hard for the girl in the mirror to breathe. She had to force her lungs even to work.
She put the mirror down next to her on the floor and tried to use her wooden vanity to get up. She grabbed a hold of it and pulled her self up. She was panting so hard she couldn't even walk and abruptly fell down again when she tried. Soon the walls and the floor of her room seemed to all blend together. She couldn't tell where she was in her own room, and soon fell into another deep sleep. Deeper than the first it let her sleep peacefully until the next day when she would take her journey to Murdoc's.
In her sleep she could vaguely hear a woman screaming, and then two people yelling, but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Then she only heard one person walking out the door followed by blaring sirens and a mans voice. Then it was silent. Later she heard a beeping of some monitors, and a few women's voices. She felt someone touching her, and she could feel no pain. Lesley opened her eyes she was laying on her bed, and looked at her arms. Nothing was wrong there were no bruises, and no open sores. She didn't even have a headache. She got off her bed with ease and looked in her vanity mirror. Nothing about her was different. She had the same face the same hair, and no bruises. Lesley sighed, "It was only a dream. None of that ever happened!" She squealed with excitement and started getting her stuff together so she could go to Murdoc's house and never have to worry about seeing Chad again. She pulled out four pink suitcases and started packing everything the she couldn't live without. Suddenly she had a new outlook on going to live with Murdoc. She was actually happy about it. She would have no rules and she could do whatever she wanted. Lesley happily smiled and pulled open her dresser drawers making sure she got every little clothing item making sure that everything was folded. But as she was packing she couldn't help but think that it wasn't a dream.
"Because it felt too real."
