A Girl's Life

This story article is about a fictional girl's life meaning she could be real but is not...
I don't understand anymore I’d ask my mom.... she would yell at me and I’d just stand there like a sack of potatoes, not moving a muscle.

My Mother had just come home from work and I’d be in the living room doing my normal TV watch. Mom? Yes child? Can I have carrot sticks? I'm hungry! No sweetie.... supper will be very soon. Aw!!!! I said NO! Know finish watching TV so you can help me with the table.

That was my usual routine. Mom usually said no to pretty much anything I said. and sometimes I’d just go in my room and cry about it because, she could be nicer to me, but is not all the time.

My brother Jayce walked into the room, wondering if supper is ready. But of course Mom said no. My mother would say no to anything, and she usually get's drunk and smokes alot... so that doesn't help anything.

When father comes home things get a little better, with mother behaving somewhat. usually I tell father what mother had said and he normally doesn't believe me or believe mother would say that to you.

I'd stare at the wall smelling the wonderful supper mother had made. And I’d think "I wish my mother would love me ALL the time". I wish I could be like a normal family.

And so when she beats me and starves me. I get upset more than anything. All my friends tell me it's going to be ok. But I say it's not because my momma's not at all like your mom.

Don't be afraid, my friends would tell me. Just believe what's in your heart.

When it was time to move because of things my mom considered bad, that was the worst of my life. I felt like dying at the very moment because living through such pain is too much to take. But I had to be brave about it.

My father found a new job and I was left alone at home. My mother didn't think i was mature enough to go to a "middle school". So I home schooled myself and made 1 or 2 friends from a local church. I told the pastor about it and he said that if it ever happens again I can live with his family. I thank him for telling me that all the time. And I guess as far as my life goes, I’ll be a happy child someday. If only i had a mother that loved me MORE than ANYTHING!!!! You will always be loved!
