Chapter 2 Sugar

The door of my silent room swung open and revealed my usual messy interior.

Rosie face palmed herself. She is a cleanliness freak , so she hates coming in my room , but i care too less about that.

We both sat on my bed and i finally layed down.

"So Steph , tell me , what the fuck happened and why were you acting so moody and strange today ?" She shifted back on the bed before leaning her back on the headboard and placing a pillow on her lap , so she can appear serious.... Really ?

I rolled over to her side , till my face was almost in her lap "Rosie , i.... I don't know how to put this up..." Sighing , i kicked off my shoes, which went flying towards the pile of my clothes. I heard Rosie's painful hiss , followed by a pillow which landed straight on my ass. It didn't hurt . Not at all . I glared her with a grin and she gave me a disgusting look..

"Stephhhh !" I know she became desperate to know the Matter that had my head spun around the whole day.

"Fine.." i rolled over on my stomach and placed my face in my palms , while resting my elbow on the soft mattress."Mom..i got a call from her yesterday night" My smiling face betraying the sadness from which i was suffering. But i knew Rosie definately reads my mind like a fucking magician...i can't fool her.

"And ? What she said ?" Her face grew more impatient.

"She.... She told me that , dad had made a decision..." I can feel the tears pricking the back of my eyes , i can't help but push them back again , just like i have been doing since the day I got to know that it's not normal for a father to call his daughter names... "She said that , if i didn't scored more than 80% marks in the upcoming half yearly exams.." The tears , i was holding back , finally came out of my eyes. My vision became blur and i wasn't able to see clearly ." They'll take me back...to that house.., keep me as their puppet again..lock me in that cage again..and I don't know what i will do..i will fucking die there-"

I was interrupted when Rosie hugged me and rubbed her hand on my back to calm me down." Steph...its okay honey" she coons "we both know that you are a scholar ! You will definitely score more than 80 percentage ,babe"

I know . But it still shakes my bones whenever i think of going back to the place from where i escaped not too long ago.

"Rose.. I don't want to go there." I buried my face in her arms as she tried to soothe my over-working mind.

"Babe , you aren't going there , never again" She cupped my face in her palms. "Steph , you know you can do it , do you doubt yourself ?"

I looked aside , trying to hide my confusion... I always knew that no one can believe in me better than i can , i have always been a soldier for myself..but i think this soldier is soon to retire...as the age of hope is passing day by day.

"I... I do believe but... I don't know" i closed my eyes and let the darkness take control. My light was nowhere to be seen right now.

"Shh...its okay , just relax ,and cry as much as you want ,but remember its the last time you are crying for this matter... Understand ?" She really does deserve a badge of best therapist ...

I smiled and nodded before crying my eyes out in Rosie's arms .
