rose's mum

rose
sat shaking on the stairs.. she'd witnessed these arguments too many times since she started secondary school..
rose
she heard the splitting sound of her fathers palm connecting with her mothers face and the thud when she met the wood floor..
rose
dashing out she threw herself between her mother and the incoming chair. she closed her eyes and held her breath!
jake
he didnt know until today, the kind of home she lived in.. he never would have guessed mr jones had such a dispicable side!
rose
pain splintered its way down her spine and her head began to spin, she rose slowly noticing jake was in the hall way.
rose's mum
fury filled her heart...p rose had never been hurt because of her husbands ways before. leave richard! just get out, i dont want to see you again
jake
mr jones left quickly only sparing his daughter a quick glance
rose's mum

rose

rose's mum
