Chapter 12
Bright Blue eyes blinked open as confusion and fear shown on her chubby face. Than the realization that her parents had literally just thrown her away hit her hard. She always knew that he parents didn't love her like they should, but she tried every day to show them that she deserved their love, but it wasn't enough it never was. That's why she was tossed away. Her slim frame started to shake as she sobbed her thoughts crushing her as her heart broke in two. She sat up and threw herself into the ladies shoulder her arms coming around to wrap around her neck, she needed the comfort of someone. Lanoir heart broke as she witness such a young girl suffer, wrapping her arms around her she rubbed comforting circles on her back. And told her that everything would be okay. Even though she didn't know if she was going to be alright, but what else was she to tell the girl?
"Here yall go , I have some clothes laying around from guest who left'em behind." Earline said while handing her two set clothes.
"Thank you." she said while taking the clothing.
She started to get up to change her clothes but the girl wouldn't let her go.
"Please don't leave me." she whispered into her shoulder her small fingers digging into her shoulder blades.
"Okay, don't worry I'll help you change your clothes okay, come on." Lanoir picked her up and carried her into the bathroom. Sitting her on the sink she quickly changed into a pair of large jeans and a disney world white sweat shirt. After she was done she helped change her clothes. Her outfit was similar to hers, so she would be warm.
Lanoir ignored the small purple bruises on her body in fear of making her more upset. Lanoir was highly upset that she had been so poorly treated. Her body was thin and fragile like she hadn't been eating well. she could see faded yellow marks along her body. This baby had been abused before and her suffering hadn't stopped. She felt small hands wipe at her cheek, clear her tears. Coming out of her dark and depressing thoughts she didn't even realized that she had been crying.
Giving her a small smile she braided her blonde hair into two parts.
"My name is Lanoir Swells, what's yours name?" She asked trying to distract her mind from wandering to places she didn't want it to.
"My name is Abby Whittle, and i'm five years old, how old are you?" she asked her voice was slightly scratchy from the water.
"Abby is such a pretty name, I'm twenty - five years old. How are you feeling Abby?" she sked
"My throat hurts and my back is sore." she said while rubbing her neck
"Ill asked them to get you some tea with honey and that should help with the soreness." She miles down at her.
Coming out the bathroom she carried her over to the lady and asked for some tea. The cops were on the way to access the situation.
Lanoir was drained she had never had this much excitement in my life.The past couple of days where wearing her down. And boy she didn't know if she could handle anymore. Removing the empty cup from her small hands she smiled at the sleeping girl in her arms. She was really a pretty little girl. She had small freckles along the bridge of her button shaped nose. That was paired with small pouty lips.
Lanoir wanted one person at the moment to comfort her but he wasn't here to. She just wanted to snuggle up in her bed with his arms around her and never leave the safety of her home. Lanoir also missed her three fur babies aswell, but she was glad that they were safely easy on a doggie farm vacation.
The front door opened and in walked two officers. They talked to Earline and Earl and they explained the situation.
"Well Miss .."
"Lanoir swells , sir."
"Well Ms. Swells you're a hero. You saved that little girl life and i'm thankful that you did. Not many would risk their own life to save another theses days.She could have died without you. Could you tell me what happened in your own words please." he asked
"Yes, of course I was walking through the woods when I came upon her parents, they were arguing , about throwing something away and than they pulled her out the car, I knew that they were going to push her into the river so i moved into action. But he pushed her in before i could get her, so i jumped in and swam after her. When i was able to get her i swam us to land and made my way here." she said
He wrote everything down and nodded along.
"Do you know her name?"
"She said her name is Abby Whittle and she's Five years old."
" Hmm. Whittle sounds familiar if I'm not mistaken her father name is Tom?"
"Yes i heard the women call him Tom."
"He's a low life, drugs and petty robberies, he just got out and the first thing he tries is attempted murder." he scrowled
"Alright Ms. Swells is there anything else?"
"Yes, what's going to happen to Abby?" she asked
"Well we'll see if she has any other relatives that can take her in and if she doesn't she has to go to a foster home in hopes of being adopted."
"Okay , thank you. Can she stay with me tonight until she feels better."
"You don't have to do that, you've done plenty for her already."
"I know but i've come to enjoy her company." she smiled down at her.
"Okay sure why not, I'll pick her tomorrow then" he said
After the authorities had left she was given a room in the motel. The rooms were departed from the main part of the building. They were located in the back of the main section. Taking the keys she carried Abby over to their shared room. Lanoir placed her on the other bed and placed the cover over her and than crawled into the bed with her. It didn't take her long for her to fall asleep.
