Elizabeth's P.O.V
What a boring day. I waked up and dashing towards toilet when suddenly I felt my stomach growling hard.
"What did I ate last night?" I forgot. Obviously everything is blurred now since my parents were poor and I just ate unhealthy food everyday. I didn't blamed my mother for this sudden situation. It was my father's fault. He used our savings to pay all his debts to the loanshark.
I rarely see dad coming home lately. He's eventually out to gamble again. I wonder whether he care about me and mom. I just hate him. Eventhough once we were closed, yet now seeing him at home make me sick. Mom always defending him whenever he beat me for talking back to him. She always said "he's your own father, please don't disobey him, I love him." whispered mom in my ear when I cried in room after got beat from dad.
For God sake, why did mom really love dad for the rest of her life when he rarely spending time with us unless he always seek me only when he needed money. I just don't get it.
Today I'll earn my salary. I bet it is enough to pay our water bill, electrical bill, mom's medicine and buy some reference books. Every month, after earn salary, dad will got home early. I know his intention. He want my money. I really hate it. Its like I'm the one who works to sustain my family. That's why I really hate the word LOVE in my life. I swear I'll not get fool by any guy. Never. Ever.
"Elly, dear do u have 500, I need it now. Please dear," begging dad with a sorrow look in his eyes. Seriously, all I could say is "okay then", seeing mom at nodding towards me with hope I'll agree. If only I didn't love mom, I really want to scold dad for his attitude. He should work, earn money, care for mom, not like this. Gambling !
I felt tears begin to flowing from my eyes. I know I shouldn't show mom that I'm forced to give my money to dad. I stormed to my room, laying my petite body on my single-size bed. Slowly, I was tired of this family drama. I just hope tommorow will bring luck for me. I closed my watery eyes and sleep to forget all my problems. But before that, I text Kris hoping that she could fetch me tommorow into school. She's the only one who bring my smile back. Not my dad nor mom.
