(A/N: the song has been written by me. I literally came up with it when I wrote the chapter. I am not a songwriter nor have I ever written a song. I hope it is good :)) )
Chapter Two- You'll Be Happy.
Turns out that my arms have been been worse than I thought, but not as bad as my hip. I feel a sting in my hip and it is getting worse each hour that passes. I also have bruises on my hips, that are noticeable when you look at it from a mile away.
I don't remember much of last night. I passed out after a while. The last thing I remember was my dad shouting at me, telling me to just die. He kicked me a few times on my stomach and obviously my hip after I lost my balance. I tried to defend myself, but then again what can a seventeen year old to against a drunk forty years old, and the fact that he is the only one that I have left makes it all worse.
I always wish that my mom would still be here and would help me out of this mess I put myself into. I pray every night in hope that she end up in heaven and is safe and that I will be with her soon. She was always there for me and was my best friend. I am not easy in making friends, when my mom was alive and now, I have always been hard. Now my mom has been gone for ten years almost, I build up walls around me to block everyone out. I want to keep the promise I made to my mom, my only friend.
School was over faster than I thought, I did what I usually do to avoid stares;
look down, keep your eyes focused on the ground and don't talk to anyone.
I grabbed my guitar out of my locker and put all my books back in my locker. I never bring my books home, my dad either burns my books or rips them apart. Luckily I have managed to hide my guitar so far and I am glad that I did. I earned my money with it and I managed to do so for a long time.
I make my way fast to the mall and take my usual spot. Lots of people pass it and I am known to be there almost every day. Whenever I am bored and everyday after school I go there for two reasons;
1: to avoid my dad.
2: to earn money.
The walk to the mall is fifteen minutes, I study some of the new lyrics on my way and enjoy the good weather of December. I great the guard that has been supporting me ever since I asked to play guitar in the mall, Richard. It was against the rules, but he allowed me to play it and told me he would stand up for me when someone told me not to play guitar here because it was against the rules. He did it twice for me already and I am thankful for having him in my life. I don't trust him that much yet, he knows not much about me, but he knows that I need the money.
I take a seat on a bench and pull out my big can. I put it on the ground in front of me and start playing my guitar and singing to some of my songs.
Life can be hard, you little girl.
Just promise me to never give up.
Stand still and take a deep breath,
You should know that momma is with you.
Everything will be alright, sooner or later you'll be happy.
You'll be happy.
You'll be happy.
Went through the dark and I am almost through.
I see the light shining bright.
I can smell the scent of happiness.
Calling my name and guiding me to love.
You'll be happy.
You'll be happy.
