Be Mine

Valentine's Day

It's Valentine's Day! My mom made me look all pretty today. With my thrift shop dress, decorated with red roses. It's a pretty dress. But when I got to school all the other girls said that my mom was poor, and that I should die. That I was disgusting, and that my mom should die also, because she had me out of wedlock.

I didn't know what they were saying. So I smiled, and told them that their dresses were pretty.

They're faces scrunched up, it looked like when I ate green beans. I looked around and tried to find those disgusting things, but couldn't find any. Instead I found a new kid, he looked lonely, holding a bag filled with candy. He was pretty too. He was wearing Church shoes with kacky pants and a sky blue shirt. His brown hair was slicked back on his head. All my other classmates avoided him.

I walked to my teacher.

Her name is Linda Brown, but in school her name is Mrs.Brown. She's really nice, and really beautiful. She has brown hair, dark brown eyes, and as my mom says 'a really gorgeous face'.

I tugged down on her white dress, she bent down and looked at me with a smile.

I smiled widely, showing her my straight white teeth. "You look really pretty today Mrs.Brown!"

She grinned and gave me a hug, I wrapped my little arms around her. "You look pretty today too Lilith!"

"Mrs.Brown, who's that kid in the corner with the sky blue shirt?" I pointed over to him, he was looking down at his shoes. I frowned.

She frowned too, "His name is Damian. He came from Great Britain. But he can't talk. He was born not being able to talk okay? He's mute, but that doesn't make him any different. You be nice to him." I nodded.

I walked up to him and smiled. "Hi Damian! My names Lilith." I stuck my hand out. He looked at me with a face full of confusion, but he stuck out his hand out also. His tiny hand meeting my tiny hand, and we give a handshake. Tingles spreading throughout my arm.

We end the handshake after a few more seconds. "Mrs.Brown told me you can't talk. But we can still be friends! You can write stuff down, and I can read it! Mrs.Brown says I'm a good reader for my age." He smiles brightly and takes out a pen and a sheet of paper from his back pocket.

'Nice to meet you.' He writes down in a pretty hand writing.

"Nice to meet you too." I say grinning widely.

He grabs a packet of candy from his bag and opens it, he looks around the bag frantically. He then finally finds a piece of candy and gives it to me.

"Be Mine" , I smile.

"Of course I'll be yours Damien, that means your mine too, right?" He grins and nods. I give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, his cheeks turns this really pretty shade of pink. I giggle.

I then eat the candy.

At Liliths' house

"Mommy! I made a new friend! His name is Damien! He's so pretty, I like him... bu- mommy who's this?" I looked at the man. He was pretty. I went up to him and introduced myself to him.

"Hello pretty man. My name is Lilith. What is your name?" I stuck my hand out for a handshake and he quickly held my hand in his.

"I'm your daddy sweetie." My grin slowly faded away. I took my hand out of his grip.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I have a dad." He flinched, just like I do when one of my classmates calls me ugly.

"Your mom has never talked about me?"

"My mom hasn't told me about you. And if she has, I don't remember." I walked away from him and searched for my mom. I looked in the kitchen. She wasn't there. So I checked in her room. And there she was.

She was crying. I hate it when she cries.

"Mommy, did that man out there hurt you? I'll kick him mommy!" I said with anger.

She chuckled a bit. "You can't do that, he's your dad. He's here to be with us honey."

I looked at her shocked. "Really?! I'm going to have a daddy like all the other kids at my school?!" She nodded sadly, though I didn't notice. I ran back downstairs, my dad had his head in his hands, he was crying.

"D-daddy?" He looked up, his face had tears streaming down his light pink cheeks. "Don't cry please." I ran up to him and kissed his cheeks. "I'll be here. Don't leave me, and I won't leave you."

He then hugged me, putting his hand on my hair, he then whispered "I'll never leave or you mommy again, okay." I nodded happily.

"So many good things have happened today!" I said.
