Rich vs Poor

Valerie's pov:

I turned off my laptop after posting the latest news of the boys and telling my followers goodnight.

I lay awake in my bed dreaming about meeting Niall Horan and the adventures we'd have together. I'm not sure how long I laid there but it was amazing

Veronica's pov:

I turned off my phone after texting all my boyfriends I love them. "Haha"

I crawl into my small bed and debate who I should break up with. Hmm let's see well I can't break up with Tim he just bought me a $100 iTunes card, and Jimmy just bought me new uggs, Darl just bought me a diamond necklace and John bought me a watch. Wait A watch? What kind of presents that?! Okay john needs to go for sure. I said to myself and fell asleep.

I awoke to my mom yelling at my step dad about him drinking all the liquor. It was getting pretty heated so I crept out of my door and quietly watched

My step Dad slammed my mother against the wall by her hair. I quietly gasped. I'm tired of you always yelling at me. He yelled as he punched her in the stomach. I never wanted you or that damn kid! I could've had a job making four times as much as I do now! But you just had to get pregnant didn't you? He screamed and repeatedly hit her. Well I didn't want her either! She screams back not helping her situation. Well how about I push you down the stairs and take care of our little problem huh? He coldly says. Her eyes widen and he laughs.

A tear went down my eye as I ran out. Don't talk about my sister or talk to my mother like that! I screamed and pushed him away from my mom.

This made him laugh. What are you gonna do you little slut? Have one of your boy friends fight me? He joked. I turned red. And before I could say something he started again. Oh you didn't think I knew that? Yeah you get what you want from them since your mother doesn't care about you and buys you nothing. I don't know why you stay with her I hear your daddy's rich.

My sister Raven appears in the doorway. W-what's happening? She says. Nothing Sawyers just being a jerk. I say trying to get her out of the room. She leaves with the cat.

Oh that's right. That's why your staying your mom won't give her up because she gets that child support check. He says. Well have a nice life living in this dump with this poor excuse for a mom. He bitterly says and walks out.
I clean up my mom and get ready for school

I jump in the shower and think about all the things sawyer said.

He's right. We do live in a dump. My mom spends all the rent money my dad sends us on gambling, smoking or some other expensive thing for her own self. She pays the rent by sleeping with the owner of the apartments. Leaving me to have to work to put food on the table. I jump out dry off, do my daily routine, drive my sister to school and then head off to my school forgetting about breakfast.

Valerie's pov:

I wake up to my annoying brother screaming it's breakfast. When I get out of bed I step in my drink that must of spilled from last night. Ug I sigh and check my phone.

I open the messages. One from my best friend telling me about not getting the one direction tickets and another from my mother telling me how that annoying popular girl Vivian is coming over.

I never liked her she always acts like she's better then everyone else just because she's pretty. I'm pretty sure she's dated the whole school or is dating the whole school. Vivian's always been mean to me for no good reason even though my mother helps them out. My mom says Vivian's just jealous of me but I don't think so I mean it seems as though she gets everything she wants how could she be jealous of boring old me?
