The Deal I Made

Chapter 1

"You know what? You are useless! Why can't you just do anything right? Oh 2ait. I know. Because you are a lazy child and did not even finish school." My father shouted at me.

And all I could do was cry my eyes out.

You may be wondering why he was shouting at me, right?

Well here is what happened.

He called me to tell me I had to make dinner, do the laundry and clean the house before he got home.

But he called me at 3 this afternoon.

And he came home at 4:45. And dinner was not done yet and I had 2 more loads of laundry to do.

But he did not see that the house was spotless. All he saw was the things I did not do.

So he started to shout at me.

He has never done anything like this to me. And he was never like this with me.

He was always understanding.

But today...

I have no idea what happened or what was going on.

But the real reason I am crying was that he kept calling me 'useless'.

After an hour of him shouting at me, my mother has the need to put more fuel on the fire by just asking one question.

"Why haven't you hung or folded up the laundry?" She asked as she stood next to my father.

And just like that, he lost it.

All I can remember is, one second I was looking at my hands trying to tell them that I was on my way to do it before they came home. And the next, I was staring at the couch. Lying on the floor.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. I'm so sorry sweetie. Are you okay? I didn't mean to hit you!" My father's voice came but it sounded like a blur to me as my ears kept ringing.

After about 25 minutes of my father trying to apologize, and me telling him it's fine, he finally let me leave.

I went up to my room and straight to my bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my left cheek was already swollen and was blue-black with a 3cm cut on it.

My bottom lip was also busted open.

You are useless.

I know that was not really something to think long and hard about. But getting bullied from the age of 11...

It will break you down to pieces.

All I ever wanted was to fit in.

I worked out.
I have not eaten candy for 2 years.
I even tried to bribe kids to be my friends.

I tried everything you could think of just to fit in and have friends.

But none of that ever helped.

I was always kept in the dark.
Always shouted at.
Always bullied.
Made fun of.
Called fat.
And then most of all, called Useless.

So that is why I am currently sitting in my shower with my clothes on, crying my eyes out.

All those memories coming back to torture me.

I was in the shower for at least half an hour now. So I took my soaking wet clothes off and washed my hair and body before getting out.

I took my towel, wrapping it tightly around my body.

As I was looking up, I saw myself in the mirror. A broken girl staring back at me.

All the kids my age had a boyfriend, friends and big happy days planned out in their heads.

But as for me?

I have a fat stomach, big thighs, no ass, no friends, no boyfriend and we don't have as much money as all the snobs we know.

But I do have one positive thing.

I have big breasts.

I shook my head and went out to my room. I walked to my closet and got myself a pair of socks, short pants, underwear and an oversized t-shirt.

I got dressed and took the towel on my hair off and just dropped all the towels on my sink.

I went over to my bed and sat crossed legs on it.

Taking my brush, I started to brush out my very long black hair.

That took me half an hour to do that.

Because when I stand my hair falls just past my bum.

My parents wouldn't let me cut my hair. They said my hair is too beautiful and that I should never cut it short.

I've been growing my hair for 3 years now.

When I was done brushing my hair, my dad came in.

"Sweetie, I am so sorry I went off on you like that and I am very, deeply sorry that I hit you. I hope you can forgive me?" He spoke in a soft tender voice.

I nodded my head and gave him a little smile. That was all he needed to see for him to come over to me and give me a huge hug and kiss.

After that, I said that I just want to be alone right now. So with that he said good night and left my room. Closing the door behind him.

I got up from my bed and walked to my window.

I sat down and closed my eyes. Just listening to the rain drops.

Out of nowhere, thunder struck so loudly that it made me jump.

I decided that, it was my cue to go to bed.

Me and my parents are going to the mall tomorrow in anyway.

So I better get my sleep.

Just as I closed my eyes, heavy metal music came in through the closed window.

Oh my goodness. I think the new neighbours are all settled in.

So it looks like it's going to be a very long night for me.

Hi hi everyone.
