What Saved Me

Just a Girl

My name is Chloe and I'm 15 I just moved durning summer break from Arizona to San Fransisco I'm so excited but I don't know anyone here and I'm sort of nervous I've been playing the piano since I was 6 years old and my family gets annoyed because I play so much they think it's odd I have one little sister who is 3 and also loves music and my parents don't really care for it but they still listen. we moved here because my uncle was acting crazy and my mom don't want me or my sister Sammy around him but my mom is just being a drama queen.
-------------
"Sweetie it's time to go if you wanna make it our dinner reservation is in 20 minutes." My mom shouted
I jumped in the car and we drove to "Farina" which is where my parents first met me and Sammy here the story every time we go but we sort of get use to it I mean it does get annoying.
"Mom they have a piano"
I shouted with excitement.
"No honey we need to go."
I was obviously mad I loved playing the piano I guess it just makes me remember who I am and it's just where I feel alive. the piano is my life.
--------------
The next day...
"Chloe honey take Sammy to
The park me and your father need to talk" my mom said with an angry voice.
"Chloe mommy and daddy are fighting again." Sammy said while starting to cry.
"no Sammy." I got down to her level
"They are just.... Working things out its ok. its gonna be ok."
"Promise?"
"Come on Sammy lets go."
I didn't like lying to Sammy truth is I didn't know if it was all going to be fine anymore my parents haven't been the same they been fighting for like 2 months now.
"sissy look they have a piano!! It's your favorwite colowr too!!"
"It is my favorite color... orange"
"Come on let's go play."
I feel so alive when I play.
I put my hands on the keys as I played a song that I wrote myself.
"Sissy.. some day I'm gonna play just like you."
"Someday Sammy. someday."
I said while hugging her.
I loved Sammy like she was my daughter heck I took care of her like she was my daughter my parents were always too busy fighting to even notice me or Sammy.
--------------
A couple hours later I took Sammy home I took her to her bed and tucked her in while mom and dad were still fighting they have their moments when they are all lovie Dovie and than they just break out and fight over the stupidest things like what's for dinner or who got the paper.
It's so dumb I hate seeing them fight so much I love them both the same I don't know how i could ever chose hopefully it doesn't come down to that.one time it got so bad that me and Sammy had to sleep in our parents restaurant at our old house me and Sammy have basically lived on our own for well ever since she was born sometimes I think they fight over Sammy because she wasn't planned like me and we'll my parents weren't very prepared for a baby or even fit to take care of one my mom is 32 she was 17 when she had me and she should have been more prepared when she had Sammy which she was like 29 years old but I guess me and Sammy are doing fine.
It's just so hard...
