Life At Home-Narrative

*Average Girl*

Meili is an average girl with an average life or so it would seem. She was born April 22 2001, in her hometown of Seoul. Her parents were murdered and she was found after by a boy and he took her to the police station from there she was sent to Busan to live with her aunt and uncle. She was in so much shock that she wasn't able to say thank you but she still hopes that she will find him and get that chance. At school Meili wasn't popular or lonely she was just an average person. She had multiple friends but her best friends were the ones there for her every second of her hard times. Her best friend, Leilani, has been her best friend ever since Meili got there.Her boyfriend, Zac, loves her with all his heart and they are happy together. Her two other best friends are Kai and Boyoung who are happily together. Meili's life seems perfect but it's far from perfect when she's home.

     When Meili is home she is always quiet and shy, very different from school. The reason she is scared is because , as said before, she had gone to a Busan to start over with her aunt and uncle. Her aunt wasn't the problem, in fact Meili's aunt was like a loving and caring mother towards her. The problem was Meili's uncle. Meili's uncle had always been abusive towards his wife. Whenever he would threaten to hit Meili, Meili's aunt would get hit instead ,to protect her. One day about 4 years ago Meili's aunt decided she wanted a fresh start, a start away from all the pain. Her aunt had left leaving Meili with all the pain. Recently Meili's uncle has been more abusive recently making her have to wear more covering items of clothing like long sleeves and pants during the summer and spring. When Meili was a child her mother would make her wear skirts. Meili had a great collection of skirts and dresses she loved the flow of the skirts and the freedom of dresses. Meili had kept her dresses and skirts in a container in her closet. She used the dresses and skirts as a reminder of her mother and father. Meili also had a photo of them three but kept that hidden away because whenever her uncle was very intoxicated he would come into her room and hurt her and break her things. This photo was the last thing to remember her parents faces.

     It was a Monday morning and Meili was on her way to school ,usually she got out of the house pretty quick since she couldn't stand her uncle. Today, Meili had went an hour earlier to work on a group project. Since Meili had been making a ruckus on getting ready, her uncle had been awoken,angrier than usual. "Where are you going." He snapped at Meili. "Anywhere but here. " Meili's uncle was shocked at her response and she was as well. Meili was frightened by her uncle's piercing and cold stare, it sent shivers down her spine. "What?" He asked in a medium toned voice. Meili replied in a small,quiet voice with a slight whimper, "n-nothing." A tear rolled down Meili's cheek out of fear. "That's what I thought. Now get out of my face you useless brat!" Meili was used to her uncle's hurtful words and so she left without a word. Meili was walking down the street trying to not cry but she couldn't help it, she was tired of all of the crap she had been through. The worst part, she couldn't do anything because her aunt had left without any clue of where she had gone and her uncle was the last of her family left. She couldn't come up with enough courage to tell about the abuse that she had been going through because she was afraid that her uncle wouldn't hurt her, she was afraid that he would kill her. "Hey watch out!" Meili quickly snapped back into reality and realized that she was standing in the middle of the road a car coming straight for her. She felt a sharp tug on her wrist and she was pulled into a tight embrace making it seem as if the world had stopped. Meili pulled away quickly in complete shock. "S-sorry!" She walked away swiftly, thoughts filling her head. "Who was he?" She thought. She gasped in a melodramatic way "He had the same school uniform as me." She snapped out of her thoughts realizing she was in front of the school building."First day of school, here I come."
