Stay Strong

Chapter 3

My next classes were a blur. All of them were really boring because all we did was work on homework or projects.
I was thankful that I made it home safe and sound without any site of the monsters anywhere. Let me tell you that that was a huge relief.
When I get home and call for my Aunt, I remember that she is gone for a week for a business trip. That means I get to be home, alone, all week. Not the best way to start a week.
Now, you must be wondering why I live with my Aunt instead of my parents. Well, that's because I was basically an accident. My parents raised me till I was about 4 years old. Then they decided they weren't ready to take on the responsibilities of being a guardian. One reason was because they both had full time jobs and didn't really have time to give me any attention. Like I said, I wasn't planned, so they were going to put me up for adoption when my Aunt and Uncle said that they would take me in. This way when they were home they could see me whenever they wanted. The sad part is that they have never visited me, ever. I haven't seen my parents for 13 years! Was I that bad and unwanted that they never wanted to see me.
I have learned to get used to the fact that I will never see them again. To be honest, I am happy. The reason is because in 13 years they didn't want to see me, so why in the world would I allow them to just come over and say,"Hello, we're your parents and we have come to see you." No, that is just not something you do to a 17 year old girl who acts like her Aunt is her mother and not her real Aunt.
You might also be wondering why I haven't mention much about my Uncle, that is because when I was 10, he just up and disappeared. Literally, we just had breakfast and he went into the living room to grab something and he never came back. We have no idea where he could have gone. My Aunt doesn't want to go out looking especially since she doesn't know where he is or if he's alive. I can just look at my Aunt and know that it is still tearing her apart that she doesn't know where he is. I just hope that one day, neither of us will be burdened anymore. I am just afraid that day will never come.
