As I felt a harsh sting on the side of my face, god I knew that would leave a mark. "You're such a disappointment!" The person I was supposed to call mother had slapped me. Why you may ask? I showed emotion. My mother believed I deserved to feel nothing but pain.
Before I knew it I dashed out of our house door. I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't handle it. I started believing things that I shouldn't, things that weren't true, or were they? Every tear on my face had a hurtful word behind it. As I was crying my feet came to a stop. I looked up and I was at my best friends Nora and Jay's house. I knock on the door and Nora opens it and a frown quickly replaces her once smiling face.
"Was it your mother again?" she asks, concerned. I just nod not wanting to speak cause who knew what would come out if I did.
"Jay!" Nora called, stretching his name out.
"We're going out, wanna tag along?". Loud footsteps echoed through the house so loud you could hear them outside.
"Coming!" he yelled back.
