Earphones in, music playing, closed eyes, and the world blocked out. This is what I look forward to in life. Music is one of few things that I like in this world. You see, I've never really been your classic teenage girl. I never really liked, and still don't like people. Or anything for that matter. I've always pushed people away due to my lack of interest in what the world has to offer. I really only have one friend. She's stuck with me through thick and thin; her name is Dahlia. All I really need is music to accompany me. My parents think I'm depressed. I'm not depressed. I just know what I like, and how I like it. You may think I'm a diva, but really I'm not. You can think what you want to think, it won't effect me and it never will. Anyway, back to the story.

'Ahh' I sigh in relief as I lay in my hammock in my backyard. I was almost asleep,that was until I was awoken by this loud, horrific screeching sound. Scared for my life, I immediately jump to my feet, only to be mobbed by a flock of seagulls and other various birds. Before I knew it the birds had left, leaving me covered in bird droppings. Topping off my day of misery, discomfort and utter traumatisation, a flock of birds just had to cover me in their disgusting droppings. I wipe away the white muck from my eyes and run into the pool immediately to wash my self off. I ran toward the pool and jumped; the water engulfing me. I floated up to the surface. As my eyes fully adjust to my surroundings, I begin to notice a small device lingering in the water. Great. I had forgotten about my phone. Not only had I been pooped on by a flock of angry birds, but my now destroyed phone was lingering in the water. My mother isn't going to react well to this.

I sink to the bottom of the pool holding in my tears in as I try to think positively and convince my self that everything will be okay. Nope. It wasn't going to happen. There was no way that I would be able to think positively after this. "Fae!! Tea's ready!!" I managed to make out between my negative thoughts and the water engulfing me, making each sound blurred and distorted. "FAE!" My mother yelled once more, stepping outside the kitchen and now stepping into the backyard. I quickly swam up to the surface, collecting my phone and pulling my self onto the polished concrete. "Mum, I need a towel" I mumble through the back door, the sound managing to travel to my mother who was in the kitchen dishing out dinner. "You're so stupid sometimes. Why on earth would you jump into the pool?! Not only have you ruined your brand new, and not to mention ridiculously expensive phone-' 'mum I can just put it in rice and see if that work-' ' ah! Do not interrupt me! And that isn't the point. The point is, that you can't manage to do anything right!! You're always breaking things! Including my freshly polished wooden floor boards! Now go and stand on the grass before you ruin anything else!" My mother yelled pointing over to the grass. I sighed as I walked over and stood on the grass waiting for my mother to bring me a towel. Of course she didn't..I just stood here wet with the freezing breeze brushing against my wet, fragile skin.

It had been 15 minutes of standing in the freezing breeze and I just can't take it anymore. I was so angry and frustrated at my mother. Why can't she just be a normal, nice, sane mother?! Why is it so hard for her to actually care about me? I've never done anything to ever hurt her. I've always treated her with respect and in return I get treated like crap.

I walked into my the kitchen, in hopes she wouldn't be there. But with my luck of course she would be there. I just can't seem to get away from her. 'Are you still wet?' My mother snapped. 'No, mother ..' I mumble. ' speak up I can't hear you, child!' 'I SAID NO!' I yelled back. My mother looked shocked; her mouth hung open wide enough for me to be able to see her revolting teeth. 'THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR MOTHER! APOLOGISE AT ONCE' 'mother? Pfft yeah okay keep telling yourself that.' I snap back, snatching the rice from the countertop and running up stairs before the troll speaks another word to me.

The sound of my door locking is all to familiar to me. Hiding from that abusive women I'm forced to call mother so she doesn't attack me. I fill up a container full of rice and put my drenched phone in it. The sound of the front door slamming made me jump. I ran to my window, of course it was my mother hooking up with some guy as usual. I decided to put the container with rice in it into the kitchen.

I sometimes, no not sometimes, I always wish I could just run away and start life over. I plan to run away with Dahlia when I graduate high school. I honestly don't feel like I can go on any longer. I can't wait 2 more years!! Especially when I'm being treated the way I am. I need to get out of this place. Fast.
