Angels

Failey waited as the time went by.
Wishing it was time to go to school.
She had endured another night of her father’s beatings.
Her mother had ran off when she was born.
Failey’s father only cared for her for so long.
He soon became violent with her.
Blaming her for his wife’s absence.
The only reason she really liked school was because of her best friend Kalen.
He knew what she had to go through.
But Failey didn’t want anyone else to know.
She took every chance she had to stay at his house.
When Failey went to school that day.
With bruises, a split lip, and a cracked rib.
Kalen decided it was enough.
After school Kalen took Failey to his house.
She stayed there with him for weeks.
Her father not once coming to get her.
She lived with Kalen and his grandmother until they found their own place.
Failey still had nightmares but Kalen was there to chase them away.
Kalen went out one day to get a present for Failey.
When he came back he brought with him a small puppy from the pound.
Failey named him Crayon.
Because he always managed to find crayons and loved to chew them.
Failey and Kalen fell in love soon after.
Her nightmares completely gone.
No sign of her father.
Failey was happy with her new life.
The End.
