Cora

Cor = (nikname for Cora pronounced as Core)

Since it was summer getting up this morning was a challenge as I had to take a test my mother had so badly wanted me to take since she had taken it when she was young as well. I hate test even though I appreciate learning and sometimes find it interesting test are not my favorite.

I'm only taking it so that she's happy. I know she always wanted to get in as a kid but unfortunately did not make it. So Even though I hate test I'll try for her. 

As I walked down the stairs I heard talking in the kitchen I stopped and listend closely. It was my mom on the phone probably talking with my deadbeat dad I could tell by the tone of her voice. She was scolding him for not giving me a call since today was important for her and she wanted him to support me. I hate him. Everytime we would fight I'd be the one crying in the end. Why? Because he thought the world revolved around him and everyone should just listen to him and that his opinion was the only opinon their was. He didnt care about me but somehow I still cared about him I didnt want to but I did. Everytime he was sick or drunk I cried for him. I feel pathetic. I cried for a person that has never shed a tear for me. I didnt hear anything anymore which meant she was done talking. 

I went through the living room and into the kitchen. "Goodmorning sweetheart how are you feeling? Are you nervous?" mom said in her angelic voice. 

"Yes, you could say that but I think I'll do fine."I said

 "Breakfast will be  done in ten minutes." 

"Okay, I'll go wash my teeth in the meantime"

 "Once your done go wake up your sister please" I nodded and walked towards the restroom.

I open the door slightly and peek in she was still sound asleep in her bed with her phone by her pillow. "Dumb bitch always sleeping late and then complaning in the morning" I mumbled. Even though I loved her she was really stupid sometimes. She would complain and whine about being tired or having a bad sleep schedule. Maybe put the phone down and do something not having to do with technology and you will be able to sleep better. 

I walked toward her slowly and shook her slightly. I shook her again, but harder this time, she still hadn't woken up though. I sigh I guess I'll have to pour a little bit of water on her again. I didnt like to since she would always get mad at me for it even though she was the one who suggested it to me. Mother was the only one that could wake her up without water. Don't know how she does it, but she was always successful without cold water. I went over to the restroom and cupped some cold water in my hand. I went over to her and hovered my hands over her head and slowly poured some droplets onto her face. She wiped it  off but didn't wake up. Then I poured a little more, but still nothing. I decided to pour all the water on my hands onto her face and that's when she finally wakes up. "Cor what the hell! Why the fuck did you choose cold water? Get out of my room before I say things I'll regret" I smirked at her. If she said something to me I would have beat her ass and she knows it, but she likes pushing my buttons. 

I got out of the room and walked towards the kitchen. It smelt so good. I love my moms food. I mean I love food in general but my moms food was something else sometimes. 

After a minute or two little miss sleepy head woke up. "Goodmorning Olive" I said. She looked straight at me and if looks could kill I would be dead. I smiled at her. "I hate you she mumbled but unfortunatly for her our mom heard it and scolded her for it. We ate in comfortable silence until my mom decided to ask my sister if ourd dad had called her. And as she asked about him olives phone rang I knew it was dad I could read the called id from where I was sitting down. He always preffered my little sister probably cause she would n't back talk and she would always go with him on Saturdays and Sundays when he asked. Funny thing was she wasn't even her real daughter the only daughter he had was me but he didnt know that only the three of us did. My mom cheated on him because she was tired of being abused and got pregnant at first she really did thing it was my dads but after she came out and started growing she was looking more like the man she had slept with years ago. She reached out to him and he was happy to find out that he had a daughter. They would meet once in a while. I was happy that she had a better father than me but also happy that one day I would tell my father that she wasn't her real father. I want to see his face. I wanna laugh in his face. He deserve hell for everything that he has done to my mom. 

(Trigger warning mentions of rape)

He would force himself onto my mom even though she didn't want to. He would hit her. Say horrible things to her. How no one would want her and that she should be happy that he is still their with her. He would cheat on my mom. She had also even heard that he would rape his own family members. He was disgusting. If not for the law I would have killed him by now. My mom and I were the only one that would stand up to him even if we were scared of him. I dont want him hurting anyone anymore. 

A couple of hours had already passed and I was getting ready since my mom would be taking me to take the test. They held the test during summer so that you wouldn't start of in the middle of the school year. 

"We'll be wating in the car Cora" mom yelled from downstairs "Dont take too long". 

"Okay" I yelled back

I walked down the stair my head was spinning I was really nervous I didn't like the idea of being alone for 3 hours with a bunch of strangers while taking a test. Oive and mom were in the car wating so I ran over to the door and walked out and locked the door shut. I got in the car and my mom was putting music on. The whole car ride I stared out the window. My mom kept quiet since she knew how much I hated taking test and how I was a little socially akward. Olive was just here since we would be going to eat after I was done with the test. I was really nervous. I felt like throwing up. Ugh. 

We were here at the entrance of a big building were the test were being held. My mom walked up with me since she had to put some information down. I couldn't have my phone inside so she also had to put her phone number down so that they could call her after I was done. I walked in alone and looked back at her with a reassuring smile even though I was screaming inside. A woman told me to follow her into a room. When we walked in it was full of students taking test. This brought me relief because that meant their was less of a chance of me getting it since only five of us could make it. I would still try because my mom wanted me to. She sat me down next to a girl. She looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back, she seemed nice so I would be nice back. 

I prayed I wouldn't take long so that I could get it over and done with.
