After a few days of being with my horrific mother, I couldn't stand being around her anymore. Chasity made it a little easier each day, at least Kris was nice enough to have pull-ups handy for my daughter. I was teaching Chasity how to use the bathroom and she was doing really well with the idea, but not really showing interest.

Sighing a little bit, I push my long hair back a bit behind my head in frustration because my mother was nagging me to marry Chad. It was actually getting annoying. Standing up after playing with Chasity, I pick her up and put her to bed cause she was sleeping I put her in my bed, and I walk away leaving her alone to nap.

Walking outside to see what everyone was doing, Kris was sipping wine while watching Emily off doing something. I sit on the porch ignoring everything around me and also trying to be quiet so she didn't hear me. I could hear her and Emily talking about me and Chad. I roll my eyes and sit on the porch.

It was a nice day out, the sun was shining brightly with no cloud in the blue sky. The trees swayed lightly in the wind. Sighing quietly, I got up and walked down once more to find Tyler just to see what he was doing. My blond hair was swaying behind me I also felt my bangs hit my left eyebrow gently.

After finding him in the garage fixing his bike, I smile lightly and sit in the chair next to it. Tyler, I think, knew I was there. He began to speak.

"What's going on?"

"Just put Chasity down for a nap." I shrug a little. "I'm not liking being here..."

"You and me both, I plan on getting out of here soon. I don't know where I would go."

I think and then look at him. "Why not go to Yorktown. It's a space station and I have a place there and Chasity stays at daycare a lot, but she plays with some friends there." I suggest to him. "You can watch Chasity a lot more and she can actually stay home and play with her toys there, and actually sleep in her bed..." Tyler chuckles and I roll my eyes with a small huff, it was true.

Tyler then pauses with working on his bike. "Tempting offer, what will it offer me in return?"

"I can get your a better job that pays a lot more. And you can actually do a lot more with your bike." I told him with a small smile.

Tyler smiles and nods. "Why not, keeps my important family close." I keep my smile and look at the bike. I couldn't help but think James would actually like my brother because of this.

"My captain would love you."

"How so?"

"He loves bikes." I shrug a little with now a small smile plastered on my face once more. "He owned one before joining Starfleet and he gave it away to some random dude." I replied to him.

Tyler laughs and then continues fixing his bike. We both continued to talk about anything really. Mostly to get to know one another, I really never got to know my brother and it's nice that I'm doing so. I thought he was going to end up like Emily, but I guess not. He is actually pretty well-rounded. He would make a pretty outstanding boyfriend if he finds the right woman.

Then I remembered something. "Oh! I never did ask, what did daddy do with the mansion, workers and the money?"

Tyler pauses once more and smiles a little. "He gave the mansion to our older brother, Dylan. He's doing great by the way. The workers are paid enough to actually not even need jobs anymore and 70% of the money went to charity and 30% went too you"

I was shocked. "M-Me...?"

Tyler nods. "Yep, you can do whatever you want with it." Tyler said continuing fixing the bike.

That night I was sitting on my bed and looked at Chasity playing a little bit with her toys. I smile at her while she played, I then grabbed my comm, stared at it wanting to call him so badly so he can hear her voice. But I can't risk it, he was probably off doing something for the federation.

He can't pause everything just to save me and his daughter. He does have a job to do for the federation. Sighing a little I put my comm away, standing up and walked towards my daughter, picking up a toy and began playing with her. She was laughing quite a lot. She made me giggle as well. Chasity is so cute and I love her so much.

After putting her to bed around 8:30 at night and I left to go out in the living room to see Emily sitting on the couch with a guy. Rolling my eyes I saw Kris in the kitchen looking at something. Tyler must have been sleeping too, sighing without a beat I walk into the kitchen grabbing a cup, running the water and filling the cup with cold water. Turning off the faucet I began to drink the water.

"What are you doing?" asked the woman who was looking at the paper. "You're supposed to be sleeping so you can be well rested to see Chad in the morning for the horseback ride."

I roll my eyes still drinking my water. When I was done, I put my cup in the sink and begin walking off outside to the woods to do something. When I was far enough I took out my comm and still contemplated if I should call him. Pursing my lips, I opened it and opened my mouth.

"James, are you there?" I ask quietly.

I heard static on the other side. "Ari... you're okay? How's Chasity?"

Smiling a little bit, I spoke back. "Yes, she's fine. She's really happy I'm here now."

I heard James sigh on the other side. "That's good. And you're doing fine, right?"

"Yes, James, I'm fine." I answer to him with a smile. "They're gonna make me marry Chad again."

"You're not going through with it, are you?"

"I don't think he'd fall for it over again, Kris is just being... Kris." I spoke to him quietly. "But James, there's something I have to tell you..."

"What is it..."

"Arianna Blair Hale, what the hell are you doing?!"

My eyes widen and I close my comm turning around seeing Kris standing there with a furious look on her face. I couldn't do anything to stop her as she stomps her way grabbing the comm.

"Why are you talking to your Captain?" questioned Kris with a narrow eye look. "I thought you said your goodbyes to him!"

"He deserves to know about his daughter!" I yell at her narrowing my eyes to her. "That's also his family, too, you know!"

She slaps my face hard making me fly back into the ground and I stayed down while Kris kicks my stomach hard making me lose air in my lungs as I began gasping for air. She kept kicking me in the stomach til I had no air to breathe. When it was done, I laid there without moving while Kris walked off after telling me.

"I will never let you talk to James again..."

I begin to cry softly, I couldn't stand being here anymore. I can't stand this bitch at all, same with Emily. Tyler finally understood why I did what I did, so I hope he can help me and Chasity escape from this hell hole.

And soon...
