A/n: I own nobody. Also this chapter contains small bits of abuse and a few naughty words.
Lita awoke groggily to a group of birds chirping cheerfully outside her window. She rolled onto her side and grabbed quickly for her alarm to see what time it was. Her eyes widened at the sight.
"Crap! It's already 7:30," she cried, jumping out of bed and rushing into Lucas's room. "Lucas, sweetie wake up," she whispered, gently shaking him awake.
"What? What time is it?" he grumbled quietly.
"It's 7:30. Come on, you're going to be late if you don't hurry," she said urgently and he nodded. She threw him a towel and began walking downstairs. "I want you out in 5 minutes," she called and he groaned.
"Wait, Mom, you never answered my question last night," said Lucas and Lita turned around.
"What question was that?" she asked, pretending she had forgotten, although she knew very well what the question was.
"Why are you afraid of Glenn?" repeated Luke. He knew his mom didn't forget but he didn't know why she didn't answer his question.
"Luke, just get in the shower. You are really going to be late," she said, going downstairs before Luke could ask anything else.
Downstairs
Lita just sat down at the table with her cup of coffee. She couldn't believe Lucas had asked her that question again. She couldn't answer it. He couldn't know the truth. He was too young for the truth. Her eyes widened when she heard the door slam open. Oh shoot. Glenn is home already. She muttered softly to herself. She closed her eyes and prayed he was in a good mood.
"Lita," he cried angrily and she rolled her eyes. Oh the good luck I have. She thought sarcastically to herself.
"Um, h-hello Glenn," she stuttered quietly as he walked into the kitchen and he glared angrily at her.
"Why the hell did I nearly trip over Lucas's bike?" he asked angrily, stepping closer to her as she backed away in fear.
"I-I'm sorry. He... He probably forgot to put it away," she said and he came so he was breathing down her neck.
"And who's fault is that," he said gripping her arm tightly.
"Please Glenn, I'm sorry! I-I didn't know. I-I'll have him pick it up," she said quietly, not making eye contact with him.
"Mom, where's my book?" called Lucas from the stairway and Lita thanked God for the distraction. Glenn gave her a look telling her she'd be in trouble once Lucas left.
"Um, it's in the family room. Lucas why don't you grab your book and head over to Mrs. Callahan's? She's probably wondering where you are," said Lita nervously walking over to her son and he looked up at her.
"Glenn's home, isn't he?" said Lucas softly and Lita sighed.
"You really should get going," said Lita giving him his book and kissing him on the forehead. He hugged her for a moment and smiled up at his mom.
"I love you Mom," he whispered, before heading out the door.
As soon as Lucas left she felt someone grab her from behind and she had to fight back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"You know the rules Lita...and you know I get angry when the rules aren't followed...bitch," he whispered in her ear and Lita let her head fall. She didn't want him to see the tears that were slowly falling down her face.
"Glenn I said I was sorry. He's just a kid an he leaves his things out sometimes," she said weakly, trying desperately to get Glenn to leave her alone.
"Did I tell you you could talk you little bitch!" he cried angrily, shaking her roughly and she couldn't help the sobs that escaped her body.
"You're worthless!" he shouted angrily and he shoved her against the wall. He shouted a few more words at her before storming angrily out of the house once more. Lita slumped down to the floor and pulled her knees up to her chest. Her body shook with every harsh sob that escaped her body. She stayed like that for what seemed like forever. She looked up, startled when somebody put their hand on her leg.
"Lita, sweetie what's wrong?"
