Hidden Light Within

Part 1

Staring at the box full of money that I have gathered over the years; wondering if I'm actually ready for the steps that I am about to take to leave the only life I've ever known. It isn't a happy one but it is my only one. My mother abandoned me when I was three; and a few years later on my seventh birthday father got news that she died in a tragic car accident. When I was told this I had no idea how they expected me to react, I didn't know the woman that gave birth to me how was I to mourn. My father didn't seem to care about her death much. he was married when he was with my mother Marry rumor has it she left both of us because she found out he was married. I can't blame her for leaving him but I do hold her accountable for leaving me. My mind fills up with what if's mosts days and sometimes I let myself that levity but most I marinate in my pain of hearts. I live with father and his wife Melissa and their two children Alex and Emily they are twin,they never spoke to me much but tortured me every chance they got. They didn't like the idea that I exist, that father went out of wedlock to have me, I wasn't suppose to happen I ruined their happy lives. Melissa ignored me for the most part unless she wanted me to clean something. School is not much better not even slightly. I've been bullied due to the fact that my siblings well half siblings are popular and don't like me much I haven't gotten one friend every time I think I might Alex or Emily scare them away with lies, saying I will also break up their families and relationships with boys they like. Which is ridiculous because I'm not even slightly attracted to any of those kids.  they went to college, they stayed at home and travel to college which is only 30 minutes away. I graduated two years ago top of my class a year early because I could not wait to leave I've been planing this since I was ten, nine years later I'm putting it into action.
"Fluorescent wake up!" Father shouts at me from behind the door. It's go time, Melissa leaves for work at six; Alex, Emily and father leave at seven. Father wakes me up like this to go to work but I quit yesterday when I got the welcome letter to go to school Waterspring University.
"I'm up!" I shout back.
I urgently toke the 21,573 I've been saving up for this moment out of my shoeboxes and put it in my book bag I also put three outfits in the bag and my toothbrush.When I was finished I put it under my bed just in case father comes back for something and go take a bath. When I'm finished with my bath I request an uber with the phone I brought after work yesterday and put the phone father got for me on my cabinet and went to get something to eat.
