A glance at the past
19 yrs before present time
It was dark outside and a 5 yr old Nyx was drawing with her mother.
Suddenly the door banged and in came a man.
Mr Johnson
Where are you, you useless wife? 😠
Nyx and her mother looked up.
Nyx's Mother
*Slowly getting up* I'm here 😥
Mr Johnson
You! You are a disgrace! How dare you talk to my children?!
Though Nyx was also his daughter, he didn't like her because she was always with her mother.
Slowly in walked Ptolemy and Parthenia (Nyx's twin sisters) smiling slyly
Young Nyx
Daddy, mommy didn't talk to them. They haven't been at home since morning.
Nyx's Mother
Nicole... *her mother warned*
Mr Johnson
And you, you child! How dare you talk to me like I am a dog!! You are exactly like your mother!!
Mr Johnson
Now, my dear children what did you say she said?
Ptolemy Johnson
*Half sniffing* She said that we had to sleep outside because you were drunk again. 😢
Parthenia Johnson
*Also sniffing* She also said that Nicole was the best. 🥺
Mr Johnson slowly looked at Nyx's mom with rage in his eyes
Nyx's Mother
I assure you, I haven't done anything.
Mr Johnson
SHUT UP!! SHUT UPPP!! UR A LIARR!! A BLATANT LIAR!!!
Nyx's Mother
I'm not lyi..
Her words were cut short by a slap.
Young Nyx
*Crying* Mom are you alright?? 🥺🥺
Ptolemy Johnson
Shut up Nicole and let the adults talk!! 😠
Nyx's Mother
Yes Nicole, I'm alright. *whispering* Don't worry your dad is just drunk like usual
Though she whispered he heard that
Mr Johnson
HOW DARE YOU BLAME YOUR CARELESSNESS ON MY SOBRIETY!?!?! GET OUT!!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!!!
Slowly she rose and went to get her things. She usually kept her suitcase ready in case something like this happened. She took it and Nyx's suitcase and started walking off.
Nyx's Mother
Come on Nyx, let's go. *choking*
Nyx slowly walked after her sadly
Mr Johnson
Who said she goes with you?!? You think she's better, let's see how you survive without her!!
He pulled Nyx back by her hair and snatched Nyx's suitcase out of her mother's hands.
Mr Johnson
*gasp* how dare you use my name you filthy woman!!! GET OUT!!! 🤬
Nyx's Mother
Let me say goodbye to my daughter, please 🥺
Young Nyx
Mommy 😭 Don't leave 😭😭
Young Nyx
*to her dad* Don't let her leave daddy please 😭😭
Parthenia Johnson
Shut up you ungrateful child! 😡
Mr Johnson
*to her mom* I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO GO!! 🤬
Slowly through the dark night, Nyx's Mother walked out. Looking back at her daughter, she smiled and waved.
Young Nyx
NOOO 😭😭😭 MOMMYYYY 😭😭
Slamming the door, Mr Johnson threw Nyx into her room and locked the door.
Mr Johnson
THERE WAS NEVER A GOOD DAY IN THIS HOUSE BEFORE!!! NOW THERE WILL BE!!!
Rushing to her window. Nyx saw her mother for the last time.
As her mother walked, tears streamed down her face. She knew she would never see her daughter again.
