Prologue

It was the middle to the end of the school year when my parents wanted to move. And being the winny 8 years old that I was. I didn't want to leave the one friend that I had behind. I threw a fit everytime we would pack a box. I went as far as unpacking a box from my room and putting it back in place. Until my dad caught wind of what I was doing. I got my ass handed to me. And that's when he told me this.

Dad "  You need to be a big girl now, if you don't nobody is going to want to be around you anymore. So quit being a little bitch!"

I wanted to cry even more but I couldn't run off. He was holding onto my wrist tightly. And that's when I knew I had to hide my feelings from everybody. And from the day forward I am a changed woman. And also never took shit from anybody but him.

He changed me, he bugged me daily. I try not to talk to him but he always made me talk to him. And it pissed me off. Until one day I got paid back, and since that day he never bullied me again.

     Nobody was ever really there for me. From the day that daddy left me, I was never the same. My mother was never there for me. My grandmother was there for me, until she got sick. We were so poor, the bills got bad that I had to sell things. I am not proud of that monit.

     I remember this like it was yearday. After my grandmother passed away, I had no other family to take care of me, and dad was never found. I had to go into foster care. And that was living hell, it was even worse than living on my own when grandma was in the hospital.

    Until I met a girl, she was kind. Sometimes she shares her lunch with me. Until I changed, I was an asshole to her. I was in love with her, the only way I could show it to her was being mean to her. Because that's the only way I saw it.

     That's the only way I saw it when I was at my foster care home. I knew that was not the way to show a girl that you like her, because that is what grandmother taught me. She would be mad at me. She was the only one who loved me more than anything.

    I miss her so much, I wish she never had gotten sick. I want to die the day that I found out that she died. I was never the same from that day mamma died. I found out years later that dad killed mother, and he is in jail. And now he wants to get to know me. The first time he asked, I said...

Miles " Hell no, you are a fucking baster!"
