Chapter 42
Myrah's POV
Monica was a strong-willed girl. I never imagined the day when someone would hurt her so severely. I admired Alton's concern. The fact that he was still my father's son gave me comfort. He continued to be my brother and close friend.
So tell me what happened to you?
Okay, good. Yes, he did hit me. Over and over again, he struck me. Now satisfied? She sobbed and raised her hands in surrender. Alton approached her in two steps before giving her a hearty hug. He treated her as if she were his most prized property.
After letting go of her, he began kissing her face before moving on to her arms. This was no longer a friendship issue. I could see that there was more to the picture, but I wasn't sure what.
Alisa grabbed her black sweatshirt and black cap and said, "We'll leave you two alone." She approached me and took a position next to me. Alisa, she was struggling. Uncertainty existed.
