September 20,1998

The day my little eyes opened and saw the cruel world that surrounds me.

That day was the start of my painful life as Nicole Johnson.

I'm a fifteen year old girl that lives in California. I live with my aunt and John in a little house near a lake. I have dark brown hair and blue eyes. I have wavy hair and I love to read.

Reading takes me to another world. A peaceful world. I'm reading a book right now called To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. It's really interesting. As I began to open the book I heard a familiar voice.

"NICOLE!!!! GET YOUR UGLY ASS OVER HERE!"

I flinched and ran as fast as I could towards the voice. That voice belonged to my beloved Aunt Beatrice. (sarcasm) I approached her and stood timidly.

"GET YOUR ASS INSIDE THE HOUSE"

I obeyed and stood in the kitchen staring at the ground. Waiting... Waiting for her...

SMACK!

I landed on the floor with a thud.

"WHERE THE F*** WERE YOU?!?!" *SMACK* " I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU FOR AN HOUR ALREADY!" *SMACK* "START CLEANING THIS F****** HOUSE!"

I heard foot steps disappear. I stood up and checked my severe injuries. Bruises covered me from head to toe but I didn't care. I started to clean the bathroom. The only peaceful yet disgusting place in the house. The walls were covered with dirt. Scratch that everything was covered with dirt. I cleaned the house the whole day humming some made up tune I made up. I imagined myself dressed like a princess next to my mother and father. My fairy tale. Oh how I wish I could turn back time when I was a happy child.....
