Prompt: PROMPY PLEASE. JADE AND HER MOTHER ARGUE.
"I'm leaving," Jade said, her backpack over her shoulder and her baseball cap pulled down low so she wouldn't have to look her mother in the eye.
"Where are you going?" Paula said hesitantly, not sure what her eldest daughter meant by leaving. Surely it couldn't be permanent.
"As far away as I can from this hell-hole," Jade replied, shuffling her feet on the grass. "Take care of Artemis, protect her like you never protected me."
"Jade!" Her mother's expression was horrified, and for a second Jade almost felt bad.
"No mother. You HAD a choice. You COULD have left but you were so God damn….weak! You knew what this family, what HE did it us and you just stood by and let it fucking happen!" Jade was yelling now, her fists curled up in a tight ball. She had no pity for her mother, who stood aside and watched.
"Why are you so cruel?" Her mother was crying now, and it took everything Jade had not to run to her and hug her. Her eyes glanced upwards at her bedroom window, where her sister was staring at her with wide, innocent eyes.
"Take care of her, Mother. If you don't, I'll know and I'll take her away from you. Make sure she doesn't turn out like me." And with that, Jade was gone.
