Gets better

Chapter 2: Only gets worse

''Selena, Get up right now! Clean the house, i'm busy!'' Ugh. Really mom, now. I was thinking in my head. I hate how she makes me clean the house every morning at 6 am. Well there's nothing I can do about it. I slowly tip-toed into the living room. Nomatter how soft I walk, she says each step sounds like i'm pushing a mountain over. I just don't understand sometimes. But life isnt all bad. There is someone amazing in my life besides Lola. Ms.Alexis, the best, most wonderful woman anyone can be around. She is not only my neighbor, but she is like a second mom. I wish she was my mom. She would make me feel like i am in Heaven. She is so caring and she would accualy make me meals, let me see my friends, and not make me sleep in the yard. Although I wouldn't mind, it's coverd in flowers and grass. It is so soft and relxing, sometimes i sneak out and just lay out on her backyard and look what I can see as the clouds. Ms.Riley knows I can't do that at my house, so she doesen't mins. Sometimes she even joins me.

      ''Hey, mom I have a question.'' I said scared to death that she would send me to the yard. ''What is it now you little worthless twit?!'' She said as if I was interuptting her life. ''May I see Lola tomorrow? Before you say anything please say yes, I will do anything'' I said quietly and with a sweet face. ''Whatever gets you off my feet! But since you are asking, you are going to clean this house spotless the next day! Do you hear me?!'' My mom said agervated. I quitetly said ''Yes ma'm. Although I don't see why you told me to clean the house spotless, I do every day.'' She gave me a dirty look as I walked to my room. As soon as I turned the corner My hole face lit up as I was cheering quietly. Even though she said I have to clean the house spotless, I always do. She says no alot, so I am kind of surprised. I thought to myself.

      I walked into my room and shut the door. I couldn't wait to tell Lola that she said yes! So, I called her up and let her know. I asked if she would want to go to Ms.Alexis's house and watch the sunset and eat ice cream. She said sounds like a plan! Wow. I can't wait to go tomorrow! It would make my life so much better if I just lived there. She would treat me like a real mom. I will do what's right one day, and stand up to my parents and get them to sighn the adoption papers they have been keeping since I was born. The bad part is, is that I have limited time to do this. 7 months, then times up and we are going to be shifted away to California. I hope Lola doesen't get mad when she finds out. I have an idea! the day I will tell her I will bring her to to Ms.Alexis's and brake the news. Hopefully Ms.Alexis will be my new mom. My life would be so unreal. I smacked my self in the face and said ''get back to reality''

         Great. My dad jut walked in from work, so I decided to go in and see how he was. Not really, I'm just bored and have nothing else to do. I walked in the middle of the living room when I heard my dad yell ''It was terrible!  Just terrible! I am so tired of my workers, there careless and I just hate working there! I can't wait to move To California and Get the promotion! Even worse, That little twit of yours is watching me ramble on and on and not doing anything!'' I had a confused look on my face and replied back to him. ''Well what do you want me to do daddy? After all, I'm just a kid. Why don't you say something mom?'' Both my parents got a dirty look on there face while my brother was in the corner laughing. ''Exuse me little girl?! I have way to much to do then just go and basicly get your father fired! Now, I suggest you be quit right now unless you want to be thrown into the yard.'' I had a sorry look on my face, but the truth is I really wasn't. ''Okay mom and dad, i'm sorry.'' Of course when they throw me out I mostly just got to Ms.Alexis's. They never really notice, They leave me out for hours.
