Violet's POV
I woke up to screaming coming from downstairs and groaned loudly. It's too early for this . Its four am and I dont have to wake up for another 2 hours since my school starts at seven am .
" Come and prepare me my breakfast, you slut,"mom hollered to me.
"There's no need to shout this early morning ," I uttered under my breath.
I threw the covers off my body and opened the blinds and was immediately hit with the sunlight.
I tied my hair in a ponytail and threw on some sweatpants and a hoodie and started limping downstairs.
I went straight to the kitchen in the Hope's of avoiding mom.
I opened the freezer hoping to find eggs and found none . I remember leaving 4 eggs yesterday and now they are gone .
" What am I supposed to cook , there's no food ," I yelled to mom from the kitchen.
" Check in the cupboards I'm sure there's something," came her snobby reply .
I knew very well that there was no food here but still checked and guess what , there was no food .
"There's nothing here ." I hollered to my mom.
"That's your problem , I told you to save the food , now get out of here and go buy food for breakfast ." She hollered back.
I limped to the living room where I saw my mom drinking more beer at this early hour
"Doesn't she get tired of this shit ." I mumbled." What did u say young lady ?"sneered mom.
Oops
" Nothing ." I uttered lowly.
I was relieved as she got back drinking her beer , at least no punishment this time , I remembered I have to buy food for breakfast.
" Ummm mom where's the money for the food ." I questioned terrified.
" What do u mean money , go buy with your own money you get from whoring around ." Was her response.
Ouch . I thought I would be used to the insults by now but it hurt so bad , probably since the normal moms I know are supposed to love and adore their children but oh well .
I headed for the door still limping because of yesterday's pain only to hear my mom say in a fake cheerful voice " Awww my poor baby they probably fucked you too hard ." And she had the nerve to laugh like a maniac at her pathetic joke .
I ignored her as I slammed the door and started walking to the nearest grocery store . People stared at me , some with disgust , anger and curiosity and I was certainly used to it by now .
I arrived at our local store called Spidey Grocery Store and I snickered out loud as usual . The name always gets to me.
I opened the door as the bell ringed , the first grocery store with a bell that I encountered , I walked down the aisles looking for something suitable for breakfast and very cheap yet yummy as well.
I sighed for the tenth time because of the very expensive prices , fed up of walking with my pain , I just picked a small box of six eggs and a half loaf . Satisfied I began walking to the counter only to bump into someone.
" Aaaaaah look at my skirt , it's ruined because of you bitch ." Sneered a voice I knew very well.
With fear I looked up to the voice only to find my school captain of the cheerleading team , Chloe . The same person who made my high school life pure hell.
" Hello , aren't you gonna apologize ." She waved her well manicured nails in my face .
I came back to reality and quickly tried to apologize . " I'm so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going ."
" Are u blind ? " She screamed steam coming from her ears . " This is my new skirt and you had to ruin it ."
" I'm so sorry , I can make it up to u ." I mumbled to no avail.
She started laughing , a laugh I knew very well , her mocking laugh " Bitch please , you can't even afford to feed yourself , what makes u think you can afford my skirt ." Was her Stickley sweet response.
"I -
I didn't get to finish my sentence as she cut me off. Again
" Why am I wasting my time talking to a loser like you , ugh , your so lucky this time I'm in a hurry, your were so gonna get it ." With that she spun around and continued on her way.
I breathed a sigh I didn't know I was holding. Well that went...well I guess.
I quickly paid for the items and began my way home not wanting to upset mom.
I arrived home and quickly prepared breakfast , I then went to get ready for school .
Thirty minutes later I was on my way to school though school didn't start in forty five minutes from now . I had nothing to do at home and I know I would end up angering mom if I didn't leave
****************************************
I sighed with relief as the bell for dismal rang .Finally , I was able to go home , today my bullies had been extra angry I think , I now have a black eye , bleeding hand and another limping leg . You would think the teachers would actually help or ask what happened , but they just ignored me like plague .
I arrived home and luckily no one was home . Yay.
I went to my room and cleaned my wounds and took a shower , these wounds were very uncomfortable, I changed into my usual sweatpants and a large shirt over it.
I sighed as I took in the state of my room , it was very messy , luckily today we didn't get any homework and cleaning my room sounds like the best idea.
Believe it or not , cleaning my room actually takes all my stress and pain for a while , its like my escape.
Half an hour later , I was satisfied with the "new" look. For once it looked like a normal teenage room.
I flopped on my bed feeling very sleepy , and thought of sleeping . My stomach decided to make an entrance by growling very loud . I was about to go downstairs to find something to satisfy it, but I remembered my bullie's words and unfortunately my mom's too
you're so fat
You don't deserve what you eat
No one will love you with a body like that
You look disgusting
Eww you're spreading your pathetic body disease
I hated myself for believing this stuff , but it was hard not to believe it when I heard the words everyday.
With a sour mood I returned to my bed and got under the covers . Sleeping was my only choice now , maybe the pain for my ribs and legs will magically disappear.
The last thought in my mind was maybe, just, maybe I will have a better tomorrow .
If only I knew of what was to come.
