I was just sitting and I got this idea so I thought i should write it. It's a small chapter I know but I would like to know if you would like me to continue.

"Mom who's that?" asked 12 years old Amy Baisen holding a picture with some guy with a gold vest holding her mother as they were laughing.

"It's some old friend. Where did you find it?" replied Serena startled.

"I was cleaning the basement as you asked me to and I found a box full with paper cut snowflakes, this picture, and tons of other stuff."

"Uhh … yeah I'll just throw it away later. So are you done with the basement?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Mom you looked so happy in this picture. I've never seen you this happy why are you still living with him? You know he treats you like shit."

"Amy watch your language. He's your father and I have to stay with him plus he treats me well." Serena was praying to god Amy would drop the subject. Amy never liked her father and always told her mother to leave the house but little did Amy know that Carter would take her away from her and Serena would rather beaten to death than taken away from her daughter.

"Yeah mom, than explain to me why do you always wear long sleeves if he doesn't hit you? Why do I hear you cry yourself to sleep if he's treating you well. Mom come on you know we should leave this monster and live on our own. Maybe you could call that old friend of yours he looks that he loves you."

"Loved me. Yes he did love me so much but it didn't work out so drop the subject please and stop saying bad things about your father."

Amy decided to let it go and returned back to the basement. Just as she was putting the picture she found a letter that was sent two years ago from a guy named Dallas Hart she figured it must be the boy because it was in the same box. Although Amy wasn't a curious girl, she needed to read the letter. It wasn't dated this long and her mother's color changed when she showed her the picture so she opened it and started reading.

"Dear Serena,

I can't see you, call you or send you a message so I figured a letter is my only option. I know that it says Dallas Hart but it's me Dan I changed my name to prevent you from getting in trouble. This is going to be my last try to help you, Saturday morning I will be waiting for you under the Brooklyn bridge we can go somewhere far away and no one will find us there. Serena please you shouldn't be leaving with him I promise you we will figure what to do with Amy later but staying with him until you're constantly abused is not a way to protect your daughter. If you could just help me out and tell me what he has on you we can figure something out and I could free you from your misery. Remember I will be waiting for you I really hope you could come and if you don't I wish you all the best with your life and my number's on the back if you ever change your mind.

Love always,

Dan."

Amy kept reading the same letter again and again, her mother was still with her father because of her. She was always curious to know why her mother put up with her dad, she was sure she didn't love him so it was something else. She didn't know until now that her mother was getting beaten up, yelled at and treated like a slave because of her. Her father must have warned her he would take her away from her if she left him and that's what's preventing her to leave.

NO! She couldn't let this happen. Amy loved her mother to pieces, she couldn't watch her putting herself in pain just for her she was crying so hard and didn't know who to ask for help. Just then she remembered that Dan's number was on the back of the paper, she dialed it and a man answered.

"Hello"

"Hello" he repeated since he didn't hear any voice. "Who is it?" still nothing."Serena is that you?"

Just than Amy decided to talk, this person clearly still cared about her mother if he asked for her.

"No, actually I'm Amy her daughter. You're Dan right?" she asked

"Amy… yeah I'm Dan. What's wrong honey is your mother okay?"

"She is… but she's not and I really need your help."

Please review if you think I should continue this. :)
