The girl in the 1800's

Sara p.o.v

Here goes another day, a day without food I am getting a little sick after all I work alot just to make money so I can live. You might be wondering who I am well my name is Sara and I work in the mill I make cloth I make it for  those Rich people.

Yes I am poor, heck I can't even pay to feed myself but I always do somehow. That is not only how my story starts,I always thought that this was my story that I will live like this forever till that very day.

Ring Ring the bell ranged waking me up from my slumber, here goes another day of working, I put some cheap perfume on to get rid of the stench. Yes here it is really hard to take showers and I am one of the lucky ones to be able to brush my teeth.

So I don't have rotten teeth but I don't shower after all I can't. I get dressed in my dress that reaches to about my feet, I don't put any shoes on cause I don't have some.I get out as fast as I can after all If I don't hurry then I will loose my job and my money I need and then I will die.

I made it just in time, here goes nothing "sara were were you I thought you were not coming in my dear sister after all you were almost late".

"Yes dear sister I was almost late but I was not, and for that I am happy". "quit talking and get to work or else I will make sure you get killed or better yet I will make you jobless" our boss said. We don't dare look him in the eyes after all the last person that did we never saw them again. People made lots or rumors that were impossible but the one that makes sense was just this one  he was killed.

As I sat making money I can't help but worry about my brother yes my brother you see I do this job just not for food but for my brothers college so he can get a good educational guidance's. I know I am acting like a fool I know that can't happen but as long as I work hard my mother always said before she died was this "Even if the day is waying thin and you just what to quit don't cause if you do then you will go no were, think about it if you keep on working and working you will get there even if people bring you down just know that you are strong and you are a women and you will not take it".

That was her last day that she was alive but I kept that to heart. "Sara your job is almost up we got to get to dinner", "ok" you see we do have dinner but it is gooey and has bugs in it but we don't complain after all it is food. I save some for  my brother it is kinda hard after all were can I hide it but I do. There is a secret hiding place that I go to put everything, so I am happy for that. At the end of the day I take the stuff out and take it with me, I then walk with it and I see people on the street begging for food. I what to give them it but can't this is food for my brother, yes most of the food I get I give to my brother. That is why he is healthy and strong, I on the other hand is not I am skinny to were you can see my bones.

I make it home and I call out to my brother he comes pounding in cause I can hear his footsteps, "yes sister dear"my brother said "yes I Got you some food to eat". "Did you eat yet sister" he said I said "yes I did no need to worry". You see me and my brother look alike it is kinda freaky but I am ok with it, he is 15 I know he is a teenager, but I made alot of money I have been saving for my whole life since he was first born. I started my job at age 7 I know young but that was the age most would have to start. I am closer to getting more money for the collage he will go to just got to work harder.

"Time for bed brother you got to get sleep so you can wake up in the morning to crop the crops", I know he has a job yes h dose but the job dose not pay well but he still gives me some money but what he dose not know is that I put it in the hiding place for his collage. I know selfish but I am only doing it so I can help him. "Ok", I then walk to his room and see him almost asleep, his eyes then open wide and said "sister please sleep with me I am scared".

I know what you are think why is a 15 year old waiting to sleep with his sister, well you see he gets scared very fast and I worry for him so I said "yes brother dear", I go next to him I slip in and I hug him close to me and say "I love you", he says "I love you" back and we fell asleep in each other embrace.

That night my brother did not have any more nightmares like the rest of the nights.
