If I were a lost kitten, in the middle of the woods, would you be the lonely bastard to find me wandering?

Elliona arose one Thursday, awaiting school to beat her up, once more. “Elliona, dear, you don’t have to get up, school’s out.” Her mother explained, already dressed and ready. She responded with a nod of the head, and her mother headed downstairs to make breakfast.

Elli didn’t need to ask. Her mom, and her younger sister didn’t have a day off. They had to go do their duties at school. If you couldn’t tell, from the evidence written, Elliona’s mother was a teacher. Sad to be one, though. Having a fourteen year-old, and a four year-old with just a teacher’s salary. The bills would be piled up every month. The girl hated it. She hated always feeling bad for her mother. She despised feeling as if she were being swallowed by a three-hundred foot monster every time she fancied something at a store. She wished to be someone else, at times. The brunette attempted to get out of bed, but she didn’t really want to. She didn’t want to see the world go by. The girl didn’t want to see anyone, at all, really.

Her mother had left, along with her sister. There was a spark of happiness inside of her. She enjoyed being alone. She didn’t have to be pressured. There wouldn’t be any stress.

Now, adults say kids do not know what stress is. Older teenagers say younger kids do not know what stress is. You tell me this, if kids don’t know what stress is, why do some break down when their parent flips out on them because they have to be the father of the family? Why do some kids have to be counseled? Get with the program, people. The girl grabbed her phone from the charger, and walked downstairs to eat breakfast.

After eating, she messaged her internet friend. She had lost touch with this one, back in September. He came back, though, and she was completely concealed by that point. She didn’t want a boy in her life. At first, she shut him out, but he slowly began to open up her up to him. She cherished him for that. Only one other person was allowed in. Since there was someone else, she cherished him. Elliona loved what he did, therefore, she started to like him. Poor, poor teenager.

 The female enjoyed her peace and quiet. Throughout the day, she sat around, and lounged on the couch. She communicated with her friends, also. She felt stress free. Then, her darling family came home. Sigh, if only people would disappear.
