"You're a discrace to this family! You can't get a job, you cant get into a good school, and you can't even try to find a good husband!" My mother yelled as i walk down to the kitchen.
I've learn to ignore my mom. She doesn't care about me. She only cares about her boyfriend who she is currently about to go out on a date with.
"Fucking whore." I mumble to myself as i walk out the door
"What did you just say to me." My mother yells as the door slams.
I run down the street to my favorite corner store. It's the only one in town that has resonable prices and nice people. One of my childhood friends, Steven, works there with his dad. I've always likes Steven since i was 11. We went to the same school until we both graduated last year. I'm 19 now and my mom wants me in college, with a job, and a husband, which all of it won't happen to me. For several reasons, one, i'm very attractive, more than most girls. I think i get it from my mom, but i don't see any beauty in her, but htis is a problem becuase most guys just want to start a big family with 7 kids and i dont want that. I want one little boy and i want to name him Jonathan. I love that name. The second reason is that i'm not that good in school and i dont like social interactions so school and work are out of the picture.
"Hey Brittany!" Steven says across the store as I walk in.
"Shouldn't you be working!" I respond with a laugh following after
"My shift is almost over and then we can hang out." He says as he walks over to me
"Okay, good. My mom was bitching at me again today and I just want to get away."
"One day, Brittany, when i get enough money, we can go to America and get away from all of this and start a new life. I promise you."
Steven clocks out of his shift and walks over to me and grabs my hand. We walk out together and head down the street. We sit down at one of the street corners that we always sit at.
"So what's going on at home boo?" Steven asks as he holds my hand inbetween his
"My mom is just turning into a bitch because of that asshole that she is dating. She's wearing clothes that are too tight or too short or shows off her cleavage way to much. I know he's just using her and she wont listen to me. She slapped me last night too." I pull up my sleave "This is what she did." I reveal a huge black and blue bruise on my upper arm.
"Oh my god Brittany! This is worse than last time! Why don't you tell anyone about this?" Steven says with a paniced voice.
"It's fine. I promise. It'll heal and i'll go back to my horrible life. You're the only person in my life that i want to spend it with and i can't. My mom won't let me because you dont want to be a doctor and make lots of money." I look away and sigh
"Brittany, everything will be okay, i promise you" He slowly kisses me on the cheek "Remember, when i get the money, you, me, and a one way ticket to America. Okay?"
"I wish it would come faster. I hate my life here"
"It will Britt, i promise! It is getting late though, i better be getting home for dinner!"
"B-but" I stutter "Okay have fun! I'll see you tomorrow then!" I stand up
"Goodnight Brittany!"
He runs away into the setting sun.
