The Stars Above

Part :5

Thee morning light was shining through my windows and curtains.

I turned around and faced the window . And I opened my eyes and shut them again.

I sat up . And I stretched and wiped my eyes. I stood up and put on my slippers.

I walked to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed teeth .

I looked in the mirror and , my eye was swollen. So I went to the kitchen made myself some hot chocolate, and grabbed a ice pack.

I placed the ice pack in a cloth and put it gently on the side of my eye.

When It puffed down a bit. I put the cloth and ice pack down. I finished my hot chocolate, and I started to clean up.

I walked to the TV set and I put it on, I went to the music channel and put it louder.

I walked to the sink,  I started to wash the dishes.  And then one by one I would put it on the rack

After a while when I finished.  I got the drying cloth and started to dry them and pack them away neatly  .

I rearranged the stuff neatly.

I took a five minute break on the sofa in front of the TV set.

I stood up and went to my room to make my bed. I cleaned up neatly and then went to my parents room.

I walked through the passage . And I opened their door.

I took a step inside.  I've never really been in their room.

I was suprized it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going  to be . I walked closer to their bed. And I took off the pillows and fixes the duvet . And put the pillows back on top.

I opened the curtains. And got the window cleaner and cleaned the window.

I sprayed the room with air freshener . As I was about to walk out. I noticed something under my mom's dresser.

A box. That had my name on it . I walked closer to it.

And I sat down . And I pulled the box near. With a letter on it .

2003-04- 24 the day I gave you up
2003-04-26- the best day of my life, when you were born.
KATHY.

Mommy loves you Kathy. I always have since the day I gVe birth to you in " Overell hospital".

I'm your real mommy Kathy. I loved you so much. But daddy used to hurt me so much. I was scared he was going to hurt you. Do I have you away. I laid you in a basket with this box underneath you in the basket . So that one day your new mommy will give this to you when your big enough to understand.

I really am going to miss you.

I was absolutely.  BROKEN. I started to cry and went through the box.

There were pictures of me and my mother together when I was still a baby. I looked just like her. She had perfect curly brown hair , with her blond high lights, brown eyes.

I've got her hazel eyes. But my her was plain brown. No highlights.

I must have gotten it from my daddy. As I went through the rest of the box. I found a picture of a man.  I turned the picture around. 

" this is daddy"

Yes plain dark brown hair. Just like mine.

I took one of the pictures of my mom and I,  and nd I took the picture of my dad . As well as the letter on the box.
