       She, the girl, the unwanted family member, the girl in class who seemed  to be so perfect, the girl everyone was jealous of, the girl who the boys would fall for, her name was Janice. No one ever knew the other side of her. She always seemed to be so happy, jubilant, on cloud nine but no one knew that it was just a mask to cover up all the pain that she had been put through... She kept it all to herself, she wanted no one to know, she thought no one would care, she knew that everyone would blame her.

     But, what could she do? This was her life. She always believed in miracles, she always waited for the day that light would come into her life and guide her to the correct path. She has always believe that God only tests those who can take it and God has a reason for everything, she knows that one day everything will be fine. 

   Hugging herself in the tightest ball she could form at the corner of the room, she recalled what happened, it was like a video that kept replaying in her head. She knew no one would believe her if she would tell anyone and she knew that she would be the reason for the break up of her family. 

     The fingers of the most trusted person was felt at the body of the little, innocent girl. The innocent girl couldn't do anything but just to let it be, she didnt dare fight back, she was breaking, she was tearing apart, nothing could fix her back. The fingers entered the little girl's body, through her anus. She wanted it to stop, she wanted to run away, she wanted to get away from the monster... DADDY! 

     For the past six years of her life, Daddy had been abusing her and playing with her like a doll... She wanted to speak up but, would anyone believe her? Would anyone stand up for her? Would things just go worser than it was before? She didnt know... She was just a regular 12 year old girl! Everything was too much for her! She couldn't take the pressure... 

      The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself. She thought of dying, she thought life was unfair. She did not know what wrong she did that she had to suffer so much. She asked herself, "WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR TOWARDS ME? WHAT WRONG HAVE I DONE?" She knew no one would believe her if she told anyone what happened. Daddy had a reputation, a respectable one. He was the bread-winner of the family. And what was Janice? She was just another family member. She was the dumbest one in the house. She was such a brat. None of her family member liked her other than her dad. She was a humiliation to the family. She had never done well in her studies. 

        What for? Why should she tell? No one would believe her. People will just think that she is making up stories to get attention. Nothing would save her. Everyone always say that life has it's good and bad but it seems that life was only showing it's bad side to Janice. The following day was a school day. "Not again, I'm tired of putting on this fake mask." She thought to herself while lying on the bed. "Janice, you just gotta push, soon, very soon, everything will be alright." Janice persevered. She stood up from bed and as soon as she did, Janice's mom, Alice, came into the room and nagged at her for taking her own sweet time. Nag, nag, nag, every morning was the same. 

       She hated her family. No one ever tries to understand. Her sister, Gloria, hates her and wished Janice was never born. Alice, Janice's mom, always favoured Gloria, Gloria was the perfect child- in Alice's eyes- she was the child that could give Alice straight A's and persuade Alice's dreams. Gloria was the perfect child. Alice regretted giving birth to Janice. Janice was weak in her studies and was the total opposite of Gloria. Gloria was the first child. Alice's sister, who is Gloria and Janice's aunt, was living with them. Their aunt never liked Janice, she always say that Janice was a brat, Janice is dumb and stupid and she will have no future ahead of her. Janice can't do anything about it but just to let her aunt be, she knew that one day, she will prove her aunt wrong and everyone who didn't believe in her.
