Chloe sat beside Mackie on the little girl's bed at night. Mackie was lying on her bed with her blanket tucked up to her chest.
She stared at the ceiling and then at Mommy, who carefully patted her head after dinner. She was happy that her stage play was a success. Even Mr. Peterson said that she was the one who played the best as the Big bad wolf.
She was also happy to see her Daddy, though not for long…
Her little brain was still trying to process what happened between Mommy and Daddy back in the Principal's office.
She saw how her Daddy handled her Mommy roughly, lifting her up until her feet hovered above the ground, choking her.
When she lived with Mommy and Daddy in the mansion, she often witnessed her Daddy hit Mommy. Though he'd always stop when Mackie saw.
She saw her Mommy was often hurt with many blue or purplish marks, but always told Mackie that it was alright or Daddy didn't mean to hurt Mommy.
