"There Will Come Another Day"
Izara Maeve De Santis. The only girl in the family only to be taken away from them. She was only 2 years old when she was taken away from her by her mother sister only to be thrown in the orphanage. Cause of a grudge she had against Valentina.
The De Santis never stopped looking for their little Gemma, but it did break their heart to find her gone. Their Principessa, Gone!. They've has convince their selves that they would find her, but they never did. But they hope she was safe. They hope wherever she is, that she is loved and cared for
But that never happened. When Izara turned four years old, she was adopted by this amazing couple named Michael and Jasmine Pierce. They were a happy family who loved Izara like she their own, and they could say they were even a perfect family
But that was soon taken away from them when Jasmine died from lung cancer when Izara was just 10 years old it took a very big toll on Izara and Michael, especially Michael he felt like he could of done something to prevent him losing her but then he couldn't. Jasmine never told them that she had it. She wanted to spend her very last days with them, without them knowing she had cancer, she didn't want it to be about her. She wanted it to be about them. Her family. She wanted to tell them that when she was at her deathbed, she accepted the fact she was going to die either way, and she thought they should too
Izara young mind knew her mother was gone, but she didn't understand why.
But she knew the changes in Michael he was distant with her, barely at home, never looks directly at her. She felt like did something wrong.
It hurt her so much to the point that she asked her father one day if he was angry with her or if she had done something wrong. But he denied it. She was 9 year old child she wasn't smart, but she wasn't dumb either. So she asked him again and again. He denied it every time, but she never stopped asking him
That's until he snapped
Izara couldn't believe what he had done
He'd slap her. With the guilt on his face and the tears in her eyes
Izara had felt it, as it was her fault because she pressed him too much with the question.
But she thought wrong!
The little hits never stopped, he pushed her around like a little rag doll ordering her to do this and that something a child shouldn't be doing her age, but going to school or playing with her toys and friends. But, Izara, she did the opposite she cleaned the whole house while Michael was out spending their last. gambling!
By the time Izara was 12 years old, he met Grace Arison, she was nothing like Jasmine, Izara felt the energy that came for Grace and it wasn't right with her fake crooked smile, bright blonde hair and her off brand shade of makeup. She wasn't their to love them both of them, she was a gold digger, she was their to use Michael for his money but Michael was too stupid in love to see that
Until he married her a year later before Izara 14th birthday, Izara didn't like the fact he was marrying her. But once they had gotten married Izara had to stay with Michael mother while they where she on their honeymoon trip, his mother didn't like the fact he was married her either she could of tell what type of girl she was, Grace was the type of girl that didn't respect herself or anyone. She was the type of girl who used her body to get what she wanted
When they came from they honeymoon, hell broke loose, Michael wasn't the same person before they left anymore
His hits got worse he and grace would get out every night getting drunk, coming back and beaten Izara until she was a pupil. Grace would encourage him to do so
When she would get beaten, all she could do was think about Jasmine, and how she misses her. She misses having her family. She wishes they were all together again and the days they were smiling, laughing, and having fun. Wishing to be his little princess again
By 16, the abuse was still the same, nothing but brutal hits and punishments. Michael saw nothing but opportunity for Jasmine death. But it was Grace voice inside his head. Every time he saw Izara, he knew the girl had nothing to do with Jasmine death. He would get so strung up on drugs and alcohol that he would take it out on her with Grace next to him with that evil smirk on her face. Izara knew she was the reason he'd change. When it was just him and her, Izara liked the fact it was because he'd be less distant with her than he is now
During one Izara "punishments," Michael told her to pack her stuff, walking away like nothing happened. Izara was scared yet sad, thinking that Michael was going to kick her out. Michael may hurt her, but she still loved her father he was willing to still give her a roof over head after everything that had happened to them
Once she packed her things up, she only left her with just a backpack, and they were on their way to New York for a new journey. Well, her new journey
If only Izara, this is where things changed for her!
