I was scrubing hard on the floor. The woman stood over my head watching me. Her black puny eyes were giving me chills behind my back.
"Scrub harder, Skylar! YOu are worsening the carpet even more. You dam child! Can't be scrubing to slow! Faster! Faster you hear me??" She said bending down near me so I could hear loud and clear. I grabbed the rag and scrubbed harder. My hands were hurting for the too much force.
"I'm trying my best at least!" I mumbled dipping the rag on the soapy water. My hairs were getting on the way.
"YOU? you trying your best? Oh please Skylar, You are not.! I don't like talk back or have you forgotten already?!" She exclaimed kicking the bucket, the soapy water got into my eyes stinging. I tried into not hestitating about my eyes,.
"What's wrong, the lilttle girl wants to cry? I don't allow filty tears in my carpet! Stand up you dam child. Wash your hands and head to your room. I am not gonna waste my time hearing you cry. I might as well finished the job myself. YOu know nothing. Can't even Endure pain!." She said as she crossed her arms.
"Yeah, whatever." I said standing up giving her a cold stare. She grabbed a piece of my loose hair.
"Did you just whatever me? Did you or did you not?!"
I stared at her, "Yes, I did. So? Its not like the e-"
I was slapped on the cheek hard, I felt the hot burning pain. I was getting angrier by the second.
"You don't dare TALK TO ME LIKE THAT DO YOU HEAR?" She yelled grabbing my shirt pulling me closer to her. I could smell her stinky breathe, see her yellow teeth, and her small puny eyes. They were filled with anger. "Another strike young lady and you know whats going to happen to you, understand?!"
I just nodded looking away. I picked up the rag walking staright to the room. I closed the door behind me. I could hear her cussing while she cleaned up her mess. I locked the door and laid on the old bed. The sheets were old and rough. Looking out the window I stared at the houses around. The houses, that maybe had the better chances of living that me.
I sighted turning around. My eyes were red and still burning. Looking at the mirror I looked like a mess. Well I always had been.
"SKYLAR!" The lady said screaming coming up the stairs. I could hear the tumps of her feet on the steps she took. "Why did you lock the door.? You know I dont like that. Is time for you to cook dinner. Get it ready, Eugene is gonna be home soon and You dont want to get hurt do you?"
I stared at the door. "Got it."
"Shut up and get out the room!" She snapped slamming at the door twice before she left.
My brown hair was all tangle. I tied it up and headed out. At first she wanted me inside the room. And now she wants me out to do the cooking.
"Hello honey," She said looking at her Husband. He seemed drunk. "Shut up, leave me alone." He responded then eyed me. He coughed. "I dont have time for you ridiculous woman. DOnt even know how to satisfy your own husband when he comes home! Who are you then? I know I didn't waste my time getting married."
The woman was offended and got angry. I walked past her tyring to head to the kitchen. She grabbed me pushing me to the floor.
"Am i? A waste of your time? Listen, Just cause you aren't home doesn't mean you know what I do! You disgust me with your drinking. I should be the pne saying that I wasted my time in marriage. Love is a dam joke. a Freaking joke. Now look, I have a brunnete child, doing my work, but she is just a piece of crap on the other hand."
I stared at her. "I am not a piece of crap. I am Someone." I said. The words just slipped out of my mind. The woman blinked and glared at me.
"Oh are you somebody? Since when? Since your "parents" didn't think you were worth for them? Look child, I dont care. Just work when I am around."
"Dont you dare put my parents in THIS!" I snapped standing in my feet. " You don't know them like I did. They loved me not like you. Who dont even know what love is at all! Yeah, you are wasting your time with a guy that drinks the heck out of himself. But yeah you dont care.,"
She grabbed my hairs slapping me. "Who the hell you speaking to right now? Who is in charge here? WHo gives you a home and food? Huh? So this is how you have been all the time. I dont waste time honey, and I aint wasting it again on you."
The husband was standing behind her. "Let her go, You to hard. Now it was between US two, take her off. Dont make me slap the hell out of ya."
I stared at her then him. I bit my lip. She let go putting her hand down. "fine. Now go to your room. No food for you tonight. NOW LEAVE!"
I shrugged my shoulders and headed upstairs. "I dont care, At least I am left alone." I thought. I locked the door and hugged my kness once I got in the bed. I wanted to cry so bad but I could not let myself look weak. I had to become stronger. I looked at my diary, I took it out of its hiding place. I didn't want the lady to find it when she check on me.
My things belong to me. Me only. I dont care who she thinks she is.
What is wrong? the picture coming before can't answer my unattended questions.
I sighted closing my eyes. I wish I could have someone to hug me. I heard screaming downstairs, i think they just don't know what they do. Hurting...is it really worth it???
