Escaping Destiny

•Living Hell•

Sky's Mom;Susan's POV--

It's been 3 days. Im locked up in the attic of my own house. My own house that I've lived for 21 years.

The worst part, is that my husband, the man I married, the man I have a child with, the man I thought would protect me and never let me down, is the man that locked me in here.

He brought me food last night and that's all.

But, I'm glad that at least Skylar can live her dreams and escape this hell hole.

He wasn't a father to her, he was her teacher.
Like one of those teachers that have no mercy, and just do it for the money, that's exactly what my husband is.

He made my baby kill someone at 16 years old. He never bothered to celebrate her birthday.
Every year he would get her a different gun for her birthday,

When she turned 8 he got her a pistol, and he ordered her to take it with her everywhere she went because she had to learn how to defend herself

Do you know what that is?

To have and 8 year old little girl carry a gun around as if she where a cop?

When we got married her was the sweetest man alive, he was 21 and I was 18

I dropped out of college because I was pregnant and he told me, he promised me, that he would never change for his "job". That he would always be a caring father.

He broke that promise when Skylar was 6 years old.

The man I married disappeared each day, every day a piece of him would be gone

We had our first fight when Skylar and I where preparing a cake for her birthday

FLASH BACK~~~~

"Honey it's coming along great, keep frosting ir I need to use the restroom"

"Okay mommy"

She kept on frosting the cake when suddenly:

"Skylar?! What do you think you're doing" he said

"I was just- just frosting the cake mommy and I made for my birthday."

"You thought you could have today off?! You are supposed to be training right now!"

She didn't say anything she just looked at the floor as he kept talking

"LOOK AT ME GODAMN IT!"

"CHARLES! That's enough she's 8 years old!" I screamed at him

"I don't give a damn when I was 8 years old I was killing dogs and cats, training like she should be right now!"

"She's a girl, Charles. What more do you want!"

"I want her to be the leader some days, and leaders don't spend their time baking stupid cakes, they train. She's a girl that's why she's supposed to train double!"

"She's as equal to you as she is to me Charles!"

"She's a woman god dam it are you stupid, no one respects her and she's not even trying to get respect she's here frosting a damn cake like a total mother!"

I then saw Skylar running to her room in tears
And I was pissed, I knew this wouldn't be the end of it
I had to accept the fact that Charles, the man whom promised me to never change, had changed.

PRESENT DAY~~~~

I was in tears, suddenly I hear the door unlock.....

Charles walks in with his smug- poker face
I hated that face.

"Oh Honey i see you're awake" he said as if he it was normal for this to be happening

I didn't answer him I just gave him a death stare

He must've noticed.....

"There's no need to look at me like that, you shouldn't have tried to cross me."

"What are you getting from me, keeping me locked up here?" I was angry and I didn't know what he was going to win with me here

"See I can't let you go now, you're now against me, and I don't need you going to the police to rat me out"

"What are you going to do with Skylar? ANSWER YOU PIG!!!!"

"HEY. Don't shout shout at me you bitch.
As for Skylar, all in do time my dear, all in good time"

"Son of a bitch" I said in a low tone sounding firm

"He waved goodbye to mock me, and with that he closed the door."

Oh Skylar I hope you're ok. I thought

I had such big dreams for her, she had big dreams for herself, and I let this pig, who calls himself a father, ruin her.

I needed to get out of here, but I also needed to know if Skylar was safe.

I would stay here for 1,000 years if it means keep my daughter safe.

I was so shocked about it everything, I started thinking of things that happened between me and Charles that Skylar never found out

I remember after one of our fights, he went out to a bar

I followed him because hell knows I couldn't trust him, I found him at his pent house in palm beach fucking some whore

I didn't say anything I just ran, I didn't know what to do.

I went home and locked myself in the bathroom. I debated whether to just let this all go and kill myself

Or whether to stay here and get stepped on

But then I thought about Skylar, my baby, I needed to stay here and fight for her, I couldn't let that monster cause my death.

I couldn't leave this world because Skylar needed me.
And I needed her.

I put away the razors and got back out, I went to her room.

As I ran my hard through her hair I thought to myself.

"I couldn't leave this world. She needs me. I need to fight for her. She needs to make her dreams come true."

As for that today I tell myself. I'd rather give my life and spend it here in this crappy attic, then have my child be destroyed by her father, and be forced into something she doesn't want.

I knew as a mother, I had to fight for my baby. And trust me

I won't go down without a fight

Aye there it is. Damn Skylars mom isn't a quitter, she would do anything for her baby. And just to be clear I do not support suicide I just included it in this chapter because it represent how strong you should be and you have to think about people that love you. You shouldn't give your life up, just because something seems hopeless. There's always hope. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter my loves. Kisses ;)
