Girl meets world: im only Human.

"where are we going?"

My life is like a deep dark struggle. A constant battle finding the strength to just get up in the morning to go to school.

I never tell anyone, but I suffer from depression. I wear jackets to school to hide my scars. I put on a fake smile everyday and act as If my world is ok. But no matter What I try, I know its not.

I have a poor broken family. Ive never known my father and my mother never pays any attention to me. she beats me when i come home late from work which is the only way id be able to afford the little i have. Shes too busy trying to get an acting job but hasnt gotten One in 10 years.

She has a job at a nearby diner. I dont see why she cant just stick with that and finally spend sometime with her daughter. Its not like I cost much Anyways.

Theres never any food at home so i only eat at school. thats right. most people get 21 meals a week. I only get 5.

My best friend riley. Shes the reason I am still alive every day. I would end myself, but every time I attempt to, I think about what would happen to her. We've been friends since birth... well actually a year after that. Weve performed in our school talent shows every year since kindergarten.  Shes the only one who knows that I dream that one day I'll get to sing on stage infront of hundreds. yeah thats right... I have a dream that one day ill be a successful singer. Its embarrassing I know... A dream for little kids until they get a grasp at reality.

One night, I came home late again from my job at the laundrymat and came home to a usually dark home. I planted myself on the dusty old couch ready to just pass out.

My mother walked in and I braced myself ready for my fifth beating this week.

She walked over to me "your late." she greeted.

I swallowed hard. "im Sorry. I missed the train and then the train stopped and..."

"how many times must i tell you to be home by 8!? its nearly mindnight!" she yelled and I braced myself ready to be struck. But it never came.

I looked up and realised the phone was ringing and my mother just sighed in anoyance.

"your lucky the phone saved you." she warned pointing a finger at me and walking over and answering the dust covered phone.

"yeah?... this is she... uh, yes she is....wait what?... no...ok ... uh, where?... um, I think so... yes...ok, ... ok, bye."

My mother put the phone down and looked like she could explode. I couldnt tell if it was anger or excitement.

She pressed her lips together and glanced at me. "maya, im leaving."

"where are we going?" I asked nervously fearing she would continue with her beating,

"I said IM leaving, your staying here. I cant afford to take a burden like you to a...movie Studio." my mother explained.

"wait... did you...?" I started only to be inturupted.

"I got the part in that movie I was telling you about!" my mother squealed.

my mother then packed up and left. by this time it was 1:23 in the morning and I was already half asleep. Too tired to realise she has left and I was now litterally all alone.

so... yeah, thats chapter 1. "where are we going?" and uh, yeah the inappropriate thing may be in the next chapter, im still writing it. btw, dont expect anything like lemons or something just... no. thats not how I roll.
