Alone

Chapter One

Maya's P.O.V

I'm Maya Hart I'm sixteen I live with my father, stepmother, and half-sisters in New York City. I've always been the outsider in the family you would be too if your dad just brought you to a house with three people you've never seen before when you were five. I haven't seen my mom since then I keep asking my dad if I can go see her.

"Please dad why can't I see her what's so bad about it I just wanna see even if it's for an hour please I never asked you for anything I'm taking AP classes, I have a job, I still manage to have a 4.0 GPA and I'm just in my junior year please why can't I go see her," I told him.

"YOU WANNA KNOW SO BAD ITS BECAUSE SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU EVERYONE IS SHE NEVER WANTED YOU SHE PRACTICALLY BEGGED ME TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM HERE!" he yelled.

I had a tear in my eye. I ran into my room, not as anybody would come after me. "Are you serious can you leave my room please,' I was trying not to let the tears fall after I saw Megan in my room like she always does which I don't get she has a room bigger then mine its not like we have to share a room this the only space I have where I can get away from everything and she has to come in and invade the only privacy I have left in this house.

"No I don't have to I wanted to paint but I don't want a mess in my room so I came to yours."

I swear she is so spoiled for a twelve year old girl "Ah yeah you kinda do you see this is my room I don't really mind if your in here unless you tell me your gonna be in here or if I'm already in here and I'm not in the mood to explain this to you so can you just leave my room please also it's not even a bedroom it's an attic with dust and probably bugs how do even you like being in here."

"Don't be mean to her Maya just because dad told you the truth about how your mom didn't want you I mean I'm not surprised that she wanted to get rid of you," Sophia said on purpose in my face just to see my reaction when she said it.

Sophia, I can't stand her she thinks she's all smart just because she graduated all last year she just tells everybody that she took preschool early but I don't understand because she graduated when she was twenty so I'm pretty sure she flunked.

"I didn't even say anything that was remotely mean to here I just told her if she can leave my room cause she's always in here an-" I hate when she interrupts me on purpose.

"You know what I don't care anymore if you're just gonna keep talking I don't want to hear it like you have such annoying voice it hurts my head every time you talk."

I sighed I can't take living on that house anymore this is an everyday thing with them I either I did something wrong or I could've done better at it anything I do upsets them I left my house all together I went to the park near my house no one really comes here because of the graffiti and half of the playground is broken but its peaceful. Hours seem like minutes I have to get home I don't want to if I can I would just stay here and observe everything I saw here.

Next morning

Darkness is all I see from when I go to sleep to when I wake up all I see is empty darkness I don't know what it means am I the only one who sees it when they sleep usually people dream when they sleep but not me I can't remember the last time I had dreamed of a good thing sometimes I have nightmares but do people usually call those dreams but I mostly see darkness in my sleep that is until my alarm goes off to wake me up from the only time I have peace from everyone.

6 A.M already wow it felt like I just had closed my eyes I wake up get dressed in a grey hoodie, black ripped jeans, and my classic high top vans I didn't really do anything with my hair I just brushed it my hair is naturally curly so no point in doing my hair I try to leave as early as I can so I don't have to deal with them but they usually wake up around eight so it's a good thing my school starts as 7:12 oh finally its time to leave this hell hole only to walk right into another one.

I stop at my job to see my schedule for this week it's this cute bakery called Topanga's I walk in to see Topanga Matthews herself and Katy Hunter I was at her wedding it was really beautiful. They are nice to me I couldn't thank them enough for giving me this job and taking their own time training me giving me more time out of that house.

"Hey Maya," said Topanga I wonder what's she doing here so early

"Shouldn't you be in school by now you need to hurry before your late."

"Relax Mrs. Hunter I'll be there on time I came here early so I can see the schedule for this week."

"I'm just worried that's all you shouldn't be working you should be focusing on your studies"

"I know and thank you guys for worrying about my studies but there fine."
"What are you guys doing?"

"I'm just showing Katy here how to do the inventory see I won't be here to do it myself."

"Oh really after what happened last time." we all laughed at the incident that had happened.

"One time I got confused on the flour and sugar and I'm labeled messing up for laugh" she laughed at herself that's one of the things I like about her she doesn't care if people laugh at her because she laughs at herself too

"Okay I'll see you guys later or else I'll be late bye guys"

"Bye Maya" they both yelled as I ran out of the bakery.

As I stepped on the steps and looked at the school while the first bell rings I think to my self welcome to hell for the next 7 hours.

After School

I went home only regretting opening the door because immediately my step-mother Brenda yells at me for something I didn't do like always Megan like to go into my room without my permission grabbing my stuff just to make a mess and of course its my stuff so who's immediate to blame me that's who I just keep reminding myself that I only have to put up with this for two more years it seems far but I know it's gonna be here sooner or later

"MAYA PICK UP YOUR STUPID PAINT THIS SHIT IS ALL OVER THE FLOOR I SWEAR YOU ARE SO UNGRATEFUL YOU JUST LEAVE YOUR SHIT HERE LIKE IF YOU HAVE MAIDS IN THIS HOUSE I WAS FORCED TO WELCOME YOU INTO THIS HOUSE AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT IT I WASTE MY HARD EARN MONEY TO HAVE IT EVERYWHERE." She yells I look at her I swear the vain on her forehead is about to pop

"I didn't do this I barely got home you can tell Megan did it my drawings are much better then this also you didn't buy this for me I bought with MY own money from MY job."

"OH PLEASE YOUR DRAWINGS ARE NOTHING A MONKEYS ASS COULD DO BETTER YOU ARE SO UNGRATEFUL YOU ARE JUST LIKE THAT SLUT OF YOUR MOTHER ITS NO WONDER SHE GAVE YOU UP I WOULD'VE TOO IF YOU WERE MY CHILD!" Once she said that I had no control over my mouth

"YOU KNOW WHAT THANK GOD I'M NOT YOUR CHILD I WOULD HATE TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU THINKING YOU AND YOU DAUGHTERS THINKING YOU GUYS ARE SUCH BIG SHOTS WHEN REALLY YOUR NOT THEY'RE SO SPOILED AND RUDE I'VE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT FOR TOO LONG AND I'M TIRED OF IT!" Once I said that she was in shocked but not long enough for her to slap me across the face I just looked at her and went to my room I didn't come out that night I just stayed until the darkness of my sleep took over me.
