Alone

chapter 1-

The voices of last night play in my head I try to wake up but I'm stuck in this nightmare

"Your just like your father Andrea!"

"IM NOTHING LIKE HIM, I WORK MY ASS OFF EVERYDAY TOO PAY FOR YOUR DRINK, YOURS!"

I sit straight up gasping for air, I'm awake. I walk into the bathroom and splash cold water on my face, flashbacks of my childhood come back to me.
My dad coming home black out drunk with my mom, I had been left in my house alone for hours,

"Mommy, I'm hungry"

She falls over the kitchen table pushing everything out of its way, not even acknowledging me.

"Mama my stomach"

The tears fall from my face as I hold my stomach in pain. She glances over at me then stumbles over to the sink getting a glass of water and passes out her head lays by my feet.

I snap back to the present, the water in the sink slowly rising more and more.
I put on my waitering uniform which is nearly all black and looks like a school uniform with the white polo and very tight black mini skirt with black tights and black flats I'd get away with it.

"Your total is 28 dollars and 42 cents"

"Thanks doll, I'll leave ya a wee tip how bout that?"

"Aw thank you Mrs Kimly you didn't have too"

"Well your just too nice and caring too not get one"

I smile as I take the tip from the old woman 5 minutes left until my shifts over.

"ANDREA!"

"coming sir."

"What did I tell you about the buttons on your shirt."

I look down at the white polo I see a lose  button, I go to button it but he stops me.

"No Andrea the only way your gonna make us have more cash is if you unbutton it, more."

I look at him unsure what to do.

"You wouldn't wanna lose your job Andrea. Would you?"

I shake my head breathing heavily as he starts walking towards me slowly so I quickly undo 3 buttons. He smiles and gestures to the door. I walk out tears forming in my eyes

"Excuse me ma'am can I have a refill please?"

I walk quickly over too the table refill it.

After my shift I walk home and see my mom passed out on the chair. As always.

"An- Andrea get your mother a bottle."

"You've had enough"

"No, annie come on im your m-mama"

"Oh so now your my mother? After all these year now you decided you want to care for me. Since I was 3 years old I have been looking after myself. 3."

"Don't give me a stupid sap story I'm your mother and you will do what your told!"

"SCREW YOU."

I run out of the house slamming the door behind me, I don't care what's behind me, I just run. The wind cutting my eyes, the slight rain hitting every inch of me. And the car lights shining brighter then the sun.

It's been a while I'm walking at the side of a road beside the trees I don't know where I am nor do I care.

Until, this black tinted window car pulls up beside me.

"Are you ok? It's cold out"

"I'm fine I'm just on a walk."

"Oh alright. Well I'm going on a peaceful drive to get some coffee you can join if you want."

"I'm, I'm not sure if that's a good idea."

"That's alright, I've been stressed all day so I though why not get some coffee and go on a nice drive.i can see youve had a stressful day too"

"Yea. Yea alright ill come."

"Perfect."
