CHAPTER TWENTY – EIGHT

“Okay, I’m listening” Lea cajoled “you know the saying, it takes two to tango. That saying went a lot for Jake and me since we did everything together.

Jake and I were a twin in every of our activities, my mama mia really liked me more than Mark, saying I was the shy type. Mark was always the stronger, bolder one, he got in trouble for me a lot.

Soon after, we noticed anytime we came back from school, Mum would have bruises and be crying lying she fell while working, I was the inquisitive type so I stayed home one day and found out our dad lost his job because Mark had beaten the owner’s son who bullied me, so he beats my mum when he comes home drunk.

I tried to intervene but my mother told me not to, Few months passed and he continued my mother couldn’t take it anymore and fled with us, while fleeing she was hit by a car and died.
