The coloring book

chapter 1

"Good morning sweet heart!," said mom.
"Morning mom, " I responded back. Today is a very special day, today is my 13th birthday! Since I was 3 it has just been my mom and I, I had a older sibling, her name was Ro. But since she left for collage its been just me and mom. My dad left when I was 2 months, its been hard for the past 10 years for mom to keep a job and get me a present for my birthday. I have learn that I don't need a present for my birthday. I'm happy that its another year with me and my mom surviving alone in the cheap apartment we have. Mom doesn't get paid very much so we get food from her work for free. I do my best in school so that I can get a very good job and get a nice place for me and mom.
"Here's your present!" Mom handed me a box with a card attached to it. The card read " My dear sweet Bella, today is your 13th birthday. I know that I don't get you things for your birthday but now that I have this new job, thing will be different for now on. I hope that this present to you will make up for the past 10 years, I love you! -Mom." I opened the box and inside was a coloring book, but with nothing to color with. I looked up to my mom with a smile saying, "this is the best present ever mom, I love it!" Mom smiled at me, it makes me happy to see mom smile. Mom got a phone call right after...it was her work. I could hear her boss yelling through the phone. After mom hung up she rushed out to work. I guess her boss moved her shift, to now. Moms boss has had her shifts moved to her free time everyday this week. I've wondered who her boss was or what he or she looked like. Since mom does this often, I do my homework, eat dinner from a box, watch Tv and wait for mom to get home.
"MOM! Your home!," mom looked really surprised that I was crying when she walked in.
"Why on earth are you crying Bella?"
"You didn't come home the time you usually do," I said studdering to finish the sentence. It was 12:00am, mom was suppose to be home at 10pm. Mom left the house at 9 this morning, she was gone for 15 hours. That enough work hours for the week.
When mom got home she went tl the trudge and pulled out a cake and paper plates. She got me a cake this year! I started to cry a bit. Mom said dig in and that I don't have to go to school tomorrow. The cake was a chocolate cheesecake, I loved it al much it was gone with in 30 minuets. I went to sleep that night, but something. Came from the coloring book mom gave me. I walked over slowly and opened the coloring book. It was glowing and was drawling without anything a picture of a man. It did not say who the man was but it was a picture. I've must have stayed up for an hour just looking and staring at it. I couldn't understand on why the coloring book just did that by its self. I sat back down in bed thinking, before I knew it the sun was rising. I guess I was thinking all night.
