"Get up it's 10:00 Amethyst." Yelled my mom. "But let me sleep till school!" I urged. "I don't care." She says as she struts away. I lug myself out of my bed that is warm despite my body feels chili. I immediately head to my computer and look at the news at ValNet. I see that Ginger from Iowa hasn't changed at all considering she is still gossiping on her page. I open a new tab and type in Victoria's Secret. I find some sport pants that look cute so I decide on a pair and just throw my moms credit card in with it one day shipped. I click the web off and go to my bathroom. It's still a little crowded considering all the make up I own but I find one of my strawberry-banana face mask and throw it on. I trudge downstairs and some waffles that my mom made before she leaves for work. The red velvet batter and cheesecake frosting hit my younger and my tastebuds immerse in joy. As I was in the middle of taking a break and sleeping down to take time to myself Lysic runs into the kitchen with a toy sword declaring "I WANT MILK!" "I'm not your fulking slave Lysic." I madly reply with. He just says "No one cares Ammy." He sharply retorts back. I go back upstairs and unpack some other belongings. I find a picture of my father and I... I don't even know what comes over me, I just throw it across the room and it ends up in the trash. My head throbs from wanting to scream at my father for leaving me. I start to think, when my father was eight months my father thought it was easier for my mother to handle me by herself. She had no money, no house and no one who loved us. I hate him for that. I want to rip out his heart and make him feel the pain he gave my mom. But she still became the best mom and now is the head programmer at NASA. She is the best I could have asked for. But Lysic... I have no clue who his father is. He is just another one who left my mom. The clock my mother had put on the wall earlier that morning awakes me from my deep concentrated thoughts. The swift morning breeze settled on my cool tan skin almost like a layer of fresh fallen snow. I got up and off my knees and took a moment before I was all the way up to let my calf stop cramping. I went to my closet and organized all my clothing from hoodies to skirts. I couldn't help myself my father just kept coming into my mind. So I just started crying. It just all came out. Lysic ran upstairs. He darted into my arms and he knew exactly why I was crying. "Forget about your dad. I love you!!!!" He said as we sat together and I realized how great of a little brother I had. So I took the opportunity to keep this moment and spent a while with him in my arms.
