First Chapter (Intro)
Theresa knew she was in trouble when she saw 3 years old Alex going to Justin's room when thunder scared her instead of her parent's room, she thought she knew what would happen when she saw both of them snuggled together, Justin comforting his sister with baby kisses to her forehead, hands and cheeks. She never thought they would act on it though. She never thought it would be that big of a deal, she never thought Jerry could be so terrifying, she never thought Max would die, she never thought her family would fall apart like autumn always believed in love, always depended on love, she thought her family could overcome everything that was thrown to them together, she thought they would be happy… But a september night changed everything, making them cry, fight, yell, break each other. Her children were so fragile, she couldn't hurt them, she wouldn't… She kept their secret so long, it hurt her to lie t o her beloved ones but what could she do? They would runaway if they knew that she knew their secret. So she just hold her tongue and waited, waited for the day when everything would get out in the open, when they would all live their happily ever after but that day never came… It was hard to cover their mistakes, hard to not notice their forbidden kisses at night in the kitchen. But she could see the love in their eyes so she didn't warn them.
On that september night she woke to sounds of yelling. She could hear Jerry's voice shouting, Alex's screams and that moment she knew that they got caught so she tried the best thing came to her mind. She tried to sleep, closed her eyes and imagined it was a nightmare, it all would be alright when she wake up and eventually she heard footsteps coming hurriedly closer, a door slam and a shout again but this time Alex's voice, so broken, so dissapointed, so heart-wrenching it made Theresa's heart ache, she knew she was being selfish but she couldn't get out, she couldn't face them yet when she heard Max scream "Mother" she couldn't not go there. So she walked slowly towards the door, hesitantly got out. She knows she won't be able to get over that scene before her eyes. Jerry slapping Justin, Alex crying, Max, her little baby, closing his ears with his hands, singing, trying to not see, not hear, to disappear. And that scene craves it's place in her heart, a large black dot consuming her, draining her but what could she do she was just a 40 year-old human, she was powerless against the world, she couldn't protect her own children against the world let alone her husband… SO this is the first chapter, please review :)
