Concrete Angel

Hunter and Stephanie are both in kindergarten and they live right next door to each other They play each other all the time until Stephanie's Step-father Ted calls her home. Every night they would talk to each other then Ted would come in a tell her to stop talking. Then the next day she would come to school with a new bruise. Hunter knew where it was from

She walks to school with the lunch she packed

Nobody knows what she's holdin' back

Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday

She hides the bruises with linen and lace

Those days see would draw pictures of happy things like a family and a home. Sometimes she would even draw a picture of things the way they she be like a family that says Mommy Daddy Shane and Me. There were no mentions of Ted. The teacher asked Stephanie why she didn't put Ted in the picture she replied "Because I miss my real daddy". The teacher knew her real father Vince had died when she was 1. Then the teacher looked at her little hands and saw the bruises. "Stephie where did you get those bruises?" the teacher asked. She would make up an excuse so the teacher wouldn't ask any more. As the teacher walked by Stephanie wrote on a paper why me?

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask

it's hard to see the pain behind the mask

Bearing the burden of a secret storm

Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Hunter made her feel happy and secure. Hunter was the only one who knew the truth. The truth was Linda (her Mom) was on drugs, Ted constantly hit Stephanie and Shane and when Linda was a round to see him beating the kids she was to drugged to care. She knew she loved Hunter and Hunter loved her back. He knew one day that he would take her away from all of the madness at home, But would he be too late?

Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

In a world that she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings

And she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete angel

Late one night while Linda wasn't home Ted had drank a lot and his temper flared he began to hit Stephanie. She began to scream and Shane stood up to him "don't hit her" he said pushing him to the ground. As that happened Linda walked in a saw what was going on. "Ted Turner how dare you lay your hands on my children" she screamed. Ted walked over to Linda and started to beat her.

Somebody cries in the middle of the night

The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate

When morning comes it'll be too late

As Ted beat Linda, Stephanie was just lying there not moving. As Linda fell to the ground he walked back over to Stephanie and started to beat her again. After a few minutes the police arrived they loaded Stephanie into the ambulance as they did Hunter grabbed her hand and said "I love you Stephanie always and forever" then kissed her twice once on the lips and once on the hand and with her last breath she said "Hunter, always and forever and I love you too" they hooked her to a monitor and the line across the screen was straight she was gone

Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

In a world that she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings

And she flies to a place where she's loved

A statue stands in a shaded place

An angel girl with an upturned face

A name is written on a polished rock

A broken heart that the world forgot Through the wind and the rain

She stands hard as a stone

In a world that she can't rise above

But her dreams give her wings

And she flies to a place where she's loved

Concrete angel
