I was once one earth beautiful; if you knew what it's like somewhere else... You would do the best you could to stay alive and safe.
Im Gabriella and this is my life. It all started when I was about 16 years old I was so rich and I spent so much every day I was getting poor very quickly and when our last water bill came in we became broke. When we got kicked out of our own mansion we had know where else to go and it was all because of me my Mom (Izzy) and my dad (Samuel) were so angry it looked like there heads were going to fall off and Lilly was crying so hard she had no idea what was going on and little Johnny wasn't even scared he said that it would all blow over by tomorrow and as for me I was just hopping we could do a little shopping.
We just had enough money to buy a little house on the prairie. It wasn't very big but it would do if some of us and you know who that is. Each night that I spent on that old dusty,moldy floor felt like the last day of my life; luckily go my younger siblings they got a bunk bed and my mom and dad well they did get a queen sizes bed. I like always was the odd one out I had no money, no bed, and worst of all I didn't even have a boyfriend yet. All my days that I was in that house were mostly chores no school, no friend, no slumber parties or hang outs just me and my little family in the prairie. The only thing that was good for my 2 year old sister and my 1 year old brother was that they had to do nothing accept watch mom and dad try to get them both into an early preschool year and it wasn't going so well.
When my mom was talking on the phone with the principle of the preschool all you could here was; " it's good for them to start an early year of preschool they could be like super children learning and knowing so much in school.; I'm so sorry Madam but we only except 3-4 year old children." Every time that's what they said and every time after she heard that the phone went back on the self and they both hung up. I was outside forced to keep Lilly and Johnny occupied when mom started talking on the phone again. When dad talked on the phone it was always calm and he comes so close to getting them in but mostly by lying and when moms on the phone it's all yell and telling the truth because she has this rule; if you stop telling the truth lying will take over and rule the universe. I never got that saying until one day...
My life has passed by decades and I'm now 23 and I'm not married or engaged I'm still stuck in the same house on that same old prairie crying every day now I can't even go outside! What is going to happen now our whole family is falling apart. Even the grocery store is running out of food my mom died of stress and my dad is very ill we all think he has so kind of disease but he says its just a cold and he will get over it. He has a feeling that he is going to die I can tell he keeps telling me where the families safe is and that we can reach auntie Peggie in Fort Saskatchewan and that I have to take care of Lilly and Johnny. I finally decided to go to Fort Saskatchewan after dad died it took about 7 days to get there from Texas and then when auntie said no visitors at her front door and that she didn't even recognize us we got kicked out and that's when I saw; Steven I knew that I loved him the moment that I laid eyes on him.
2 Years later we got married I was 25 and we had 3 kids oldest was Kate second was Demond and third was daisy. We were one happy family me Gabriella, Steven and our kids Lilly, Johnny well they were my sisters and brother and then we had our 3 kids but all together out family was 7 and we were living in Colorado in a nice house with bunks for all of our kids in one big room and then a king size bed for me and Steven we were happy until that same thing happened with our family so we moved back to that same house on the prairie.
