Malia's pov

I woke up from the nightmare again I've always had it since my mom died. I remember that night 4 years ago the night my mom and probably the only person that loved me left, that was the day all my problems started.

I remember waking that night to voices shouting then I realised that my mom and dad were shouting at each other. I moved downstairs and spotted them in the living room I was about to go and hug my mom cause that always stopped her anything they were arguing.

I looked up and saw my mom handling a paper to my dad. She then carried the luggage I hadn't noticed from the floor. I froze on the spot and whispered 'mom' thinking that would stop her from going but that only attracted my dad's attention then he turned to me and said 'go back to your room and be a good girl'.

I silently made my way back to room and laid on my bed I couldn't sleep that night. I sobbed and sobbed until there were no tears left before falling asleep. Ever since that day I always woke up screaming ' mom please don't go' it always attracted beating anytime my dad was home but since he isn't today I'm safe.

I always wonder what if my mom hadn't gone, would I be happy now? Sometimes I get angry with my mom for leaving her only daughter with a drunkard but then I stop myself from blaming her cause I know my dad used to beat her too.

I heard a beep and looked at my phone laying beside my bed on a table. I saw its a message and opened it. Its a message from Liam. I smiled knowing what was there still I opened it and read it.
It read 'you are beautiful'
'You are an angel'
'You are worthy'
'You are important'
'You are unique'
'You are special
'And you are mine'

I laughed silently to the message, he always sent this every morning and before it would make me blush and feel very good about myself but it doesn't last long. I quickly punched in a reply ' thanks Liam ily😘. He replied immediately. 'You could have just said baby or boo or sweetheart instead of Liam🙄 but anyways I love you too angel😘😍👼'. I smiled to the nickname he gave me he always calls me that.

I checked the time on my phone and realised I was gonna be late for school if I don't start now so I went into the bathroom. Let's hope today would be better and by better I mean people would ignore my existence.

Hey guys, I'm sorry it's coming late but then I've been so bored cause of this quarantine thingy that I couldn't even write. This book is actually from a song y'all should listen to it.
