Our lifes (sequel to Divorce)- Cimorelli

Chapter 19

LAUREN'S POV:

Christina, Lisa and Dani have been ignoring me for 2 months now. My gunshot is healed and since my sisters ignore me I practise a lot more so my Mom won't get mad at me. It might bother me a lot but I can't do much about it. I told my friends about what happened and they don't understand why I don't tell the police what really happened. The thing is what nobody understands is that I'm terrified of my mom. She hits so hard and if she discovers I told the police what she does/ did to me and my sisters I'm death. I have a huge tourmenent next week and if we win this we get a lot of money so when my mom discovered this she told me to practise every day till late which I do. She also checks what I eat and drink to be sure I stay fit and healthy. Emily, Jess, Mason and I have been practising a lot and we got a lot better. 

So I was with Emily, Jess and Mason playing soccer on one of the field of our college. It was really late but we got premission to practise here since we can't practise anywhere else. We were playing a small match with Mason and me against Jess and Emily. When we decided to take a break I let myself fall on the ground and the others joined me.

Guys have you ever thought that after college we might play in a proffesional soccer team- Emily started

Yeah, I always wanted that but my parents never thought I would have come this far- Jess said

My siblings had more hope in my dream than I had- I said and they chuckeld

My Dad had hope in me but my Mom not that much- Mason said. I looked at him and smiled and grabbed his hand

How are things at home?- He asked me and I sighed

Same, my sisters still ignore me but my Mom doesn't bother me that much since I get the money for her- I said and he sighed and hugged me tight. Emily and Jess joined the hug and then we decided to continue. When it was past 10PM we decided to go home. I was driving home and when I finally arrived home I walked in and saw Lisa and Christina in the kitchen. I just walked past them knowing they aren't going to say anything at me. I took a shower and did my homework. It was past 12PM when I heard a knock on my door

Come in- I said taking me glasses off. Lisa and Christina walked in and closed the door behind them

Can we talk?- Christina asked and I nodded. They sat down on my bed and sighed

Lo, we want to know why you didn't tell the police about what Mom really did to you- Lisa started and I looked away. They won't understand, I just know it so I won't bother them trying to explain. I felt a hand on my knee and when I looked up I saw Christina looking worried at me.

Please tell us- She said

You won't understand- I said

Can you atleast try?- Christina asked and I let out a deep breath

I'm scared OK- I started and they looked worried and confused

If I told the police what Mom really did, Mom would discover it and beat me up like always, I can't have that, she didn't beat me for 3 weeks cause I do what she wants me to do and I can't disobey her cause I'm too scared for the pain- I told them

But Lauren if you told the police she would get arrested and then she wouldn't be able to hurt you- Lisa said

And after she gets out of jail she'll beat me for putting her in jail like last time- I said

But La.....- Christina said but I cut her off

I CAN'T DO IT OK!- I said with tears rolling down my cheeks. They hugged me tight and I cried into their schoulder. 

I can't do it, I can't, I just can't- I cried 

shhhhhhhhhhhh, it's OK calm down- Lisa said rubbing my back. 

Please don't hate me- I begged

Hey, hey we aren't mad at you, we were just confused that's all- Christina said

Promise- I asked and they smiled and nodded

We promise- They said and I hugged them tight. I stayed in their arms for the rest of the night and eventually fell asleep. 

LISA'S POV:

She's terrified of our own mother. I wonder how she's going to move on with this. Even when Mom is getting arrested eventually she's going to live with horrible memories. I'm scared too............not for Mom...............I'm scared for Lauren...............I'm scared we're going to lose her...........................I'm scared for her health........................How is she going to move on after this all?
