"Harper! Harper!" yells the deep slurring voice of a drunken man. Harper ran into her room locking her door quickly and hiding in her toy box, empty, other than a Scrump stuffie, that she held close to her as she tried her best to stifle her tears. Her back was aching enough from the years of being whacked over and over with a belt. She curled herself into a tighter ball trying to keep from whimpering as her father fought with her bedroom door. She closes her eyes and just wished.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAZuAJRY6

"Harper?" a soft voice she didn't recognize calls out to her. She peaks her head out of her toy box sniffing. "Unlock the door sweetheart, we're going to get you out of here, alright?" The young girl sits up more opening the lid all the way, keeping Scrump close to her chest in her arms. She unlocks the door stepping back a few feet.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSESFffcbX

An older woman, maybe around her mother's age bends down to her knees. "Harper," the woman holds her hand out and Harper jumps back further away from her.  The woman sighs lowering her hand. "It's okay dear, come on, your dad can't hurt you anymore."  Harper looks at the woman with confusion and skepticism.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOUu19HtF1

"You promise...?" Harper asked wiping her eyes. The woman smiles softly and nodded. Harper's heart lifted and she smiled as she stepped closer to the woman. The woman moves to pick her up only for the young girl to back away again. "Please don't touch me."1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRluqvn9nON

"Harper, what are you doing here?" Asked the same woman who saved her so many months ago. Harper shook her head holding tightly to her backpack and a handful of stuffing.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTS1fElGzG
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZthLMCIH
"Miss... Miss Forbes... please don't send me back to the Stewarts..." she sniffled holding the stuffing close to her.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvGiVdP5a
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mW8LOLxHZ
"Did those rowdy boys do that to Scrump?" Harper nods at the woman's question. Miss Forbes bent down on her knees holding her hands out to the girl. "May I see it?" Harper holds the stuffing and fabric back.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3XtuWut2a

"Miss Stewart said the same thing and she threw her away. Said that we could get a new one. I don't want a new one, Diana." She sniffed. "I had to dig through the garbage to get her back."1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88fUt5nGN

"I promise that I will try to fix Scrump up. I just need to see the wounds, okay?" Harper looks the woman up and down, nodding when the ten-year-old found the woman to be truthful. She holds out the stuffing and the fabric.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRUvPEdgRy

"They gave Scrump to the dog and thought it was funny to hear me cry." She said softly looking at her feet. Diana looks up at the small and broken-hearted girl.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXIB2UXOH

"Harper, if I fix up Scrump can you promise me something?" The woman asked taking the stuffing and fabric. Harper looks up at the woman and nods. "This is a big promise sweetheart alright?" Harper nods again. "I want you to promise me and try not to cry anymore okay? When those big mean boys do something to make you cry, don't cry. Fight back, there is a warrior inside you Harper, I want to see you to live tall, and to make people work hard to get something from you especially those tears that you shed. Alright?" Harper sniffs and rubs her eyes. The little girl nods.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Pe0Q0NF0

"Can I live with you too Diana?" She asks, Miss Forbes looks the young girl up and down then at her own house. Never been married, never had kids of her own, she looked back to the one girl that could give her a chance to have all she really wanted, and Harper had no idea how much that question made the Child Service Worker feel.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOehP7BX7U

"Yeah! I like History! I think my favorite is the 50's-" the thirteen-year-old stops. "It's okay to like the 50's right Diana?" Diana laughs once more.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZQi36u6GQ
1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXMipgSxk0
"Of course sweetheart, the 50's are my favorite too." Harper smiles looking around and sees a small hot dog cart.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm80jWgpisw

"Save your money sweetheart, I know how much you have been looking at that prom dress."1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PbomS6J62

"Prom won't be for another 4 years though..." Harper says looking at the woman quizzically. Diana chuckles.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeHvnBQL6z

Bang! Screams erupt through the streets and Harper is stuck in fear as she watches Diana fall backward.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd4LUo8xGT

"Diana?! DIANA!" Harper looks around and the guy was gone. Harper's eyes swell with tears as she kneels down next to her guardian. She couldn't scream, her voice caught in her throat as she tries everything she can to get Diana to speak. There was so much blood. The world was silent and still.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzQ5nzBEa0

The rain poured hard over the gathering, and as everyone talked about the life of Diana Forbes, Harper sat in the front closest to the casket holding Scrump in her arms, petting the patchwork that the deceased worked so hard to fix. She stands quietly walking up to the casket and closing her eyes as tears shed blending in with the raindrops. She opens the casket careful to protect Diana from the rain as Harper placed Scrump in her arms.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjQd25AfVl

"You're the only one who deserves my tears." She sniffed, "I miss you, mom..." The heartbroken girl closes the casket before leaving the gathering knowing that she could not handle watching the burial.1065Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKTpiTHfjp
