--Katherine's POV--

The sound of my mother’s shouting on my young, annoying sisters caused me to stir in my peaceful slumber. The shouting was getting louder by the second and I was getting restless by the minute.

Extremely annoyed with the constant screaming and shouting, I pulled the duvet off of me and sat up rubbing my eyes. I looked around to check the time when the alarm clock on my side table was showing 2:00 am in bright red. What in the world were all of them even doing up so late? This was the usual routine and I was tired of it.

Let me explain properly, you see, my parents are divorced and the reason wasn’t that he cheated or she cheated. No, it was actually my father “falling out of love” with my mother. Pathetic, I know. To say my mother was devastated would be an understatement. My parents were the ‘golden couple’ to be precise. They said that they experienced love at first sight. Complete and utter crap.

The shocking thing was my father’s cool reaction. It was like nothing actually happened. They filed for a divorce when I was fourteen and the double trouble aka my sisters, were just five year old. My father had packed his bags and left the house right in front of my eyes, leaving my crying mother all alone.

From that day, I had been afraid to fall in love. I don’t want what happened with my mom, with me. I want a loving person who will cherish each and every moment spent together. It took a lot of time for my mother to be normal again. She applied for a job so that her mind will be distracted for sometime but deep inside, I know she’s not over my father completely. She would always look at their photo frame and cry silently to herself.

It pained me looking at her like that. My life is not the average life a normal 17 year old girlwould have. My life has many humps that its almost impossible to count them!

 I love my mother and sisters dearly but sometimes the pressure is just too much. Not to sound harsh, but don’t I have my own life? Don’t I have my own wishes? I am not a demanding girl but everyone have their own wishes, right? Believe me, my mother is doing everything she can to make her daughters’ lives the best.

She has enrolled me in one of the most well-known schools in Florida, Bradford High School. I obviously repay her by maintaining my grades. There are many things a person wants in their life, and I want freedom, love and happiness.

Every night before going to sleep, I check up on my mother who cries herself to sleep each day. Sometimes I want to go comfort her so badly but I stop myself from doing so. Why you ask? You’ll get to know real soon. Everyday, I got to sleep with just one thought lingering in my mind…

 Will I ever get my happy ending?

My name is Katherine Monroe and this is me telling you about my life. Before I start with my story, I have a question. Are you ready to jump some humps? Are you willing to wipe my tears that I shed every night? Do you think I will ever find love? Do you think I will get my happiness and freedom?
