The forgotten story of the little mermaid

Little cove

                 I was age 8 inside my room packing. I was going to see my aunt for the first time! She was from New England, London. My mom was finally letting me go. My aunt seemed pretty nice on the phone. She told me she was wealthy and would promise me a good time in New England. I was very excited. Plus, I would be on the plane alone. I felt very special. After I packed I decided it was time for me to get ready. I was so excited I just ran to start packing. "Momma!" I screamed. I wanted her to pick out my outfit for me. She didn't come the first time so I screamed again even louder this time. "Momma!!!" I supposed She was in the garden. I then called my sister. "KYLIE  GET YOUR STUPID LITTLE BUTT IN HERE!!" My sister walked in shocked. "What the heck? Where did you learn those words?" I just smiled. "I've had my research." She rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" "Help me pick it an outfit." "Hey should I do that?" I stood up dusting my pajama pants off. "If you don't
I tell mom." She rolled her eyes again and opened my drawer. She pulled out some jeans and a t- shirt. "There." She then walked out of the room continuing down the stairs. I closed my door. And changed into the clothes Kylie picked out for me.

I looked in the mirror and smiled. I opened my jewlbox seeing my Favorite necklace.

This was the last thing my dad gave me before I died. Right when he died he told me "Your life is a dream. Live like it should be and believe in what you want to believe." I threw the necklace over my head and walked downstairs. I went outside and saw my mother in the garden. "I'm ready to go to New England!" I went out and smiled. She chuckled. "Sweetie, you just woke up." "I think I did great for just waking up in my opinion." She laughed and went upstairs to my room. "Where's your bag?" I pointed to the corner where the suitcase was. She opened it up and saw Candy, stuffed animals, and my Wii. "Sweetie, your gonna need clothes. Here, let me help you pack." I was confused cause I think I did amazing. She took everything out. She went in my drawers and got shorts, skirts, leggings, jeans, tops, tank tops, cami's, long sleeve tops, hoodies, pajamas, my hair dryer, and some pairs of shoes. "Now, is there anything extra you'd like to take?" I nodded. I grabbed my robe, hair brush, my favorite stuffed animal, and my jewl box. "Now that's more like it." She walked out of my room with the bag. "Have you ever been to New England?" I asked my mother. "Millions of times." "What is it like there?" "There's pretty oceans, gardens and animals." I got excited by the fact of the ocean. I've always loved the water. It's been a passion of mine. "Yay!! The ocean is fun." I hoped down the stairs. My mom went into the kitchen making French toast and talking to my sister. "Why can't I go to New England with Jada?" My sister complained. "Because you already went. Jada has never been to New England." My mom replied peacefully. "Will I ever go again?" "Sure. When your 16." Kylie rolled her eyes. "Jada come eat." She sat my French toast in front of me. My dog came running towards me. "Gummy!" I screamed. I picked up gummy. "Good morning! Are you excited
To go to New England?" Gummy Barker. I smiled and finished my breakfast. "alright time to go Jada! Get your bags." "Okay!"
I grabbed my backpack. My
Mom wouldn't let me just take gummy. I picked up gummy and put him in backpack with a couple of treats. We got in the car and headed to the airport. And before I knew it, I was in New England. A car had dropped me off in this long drive way. I got my stuff and ran towards the house keeping my head down. I finally looked up and saw the giant house. Now I know she was wealthy for sure! I knocked on the door and a strange man answered. I smiled awkwardly. "Are you miss Jada?" "Umm yes." "Oh, well your aunt is waiting for in the back. But for now let me take your stuff." "Oh um okay." The man took my stuff but I didn't let him take my backpack guess gummy was in there. I then let gummy out and went out back. "Aunt Claire?" She turned around and smiled. "Jada!" She came towards me and gave me a hug. She smelled like victory secret perfume and roses. "Wow, your so pretty and expensive." "Why thank you. That's the aesthetic I'm going for." She then looked up and down. "Oh no no no no. Sweetie come with me." She guided upstairs into a room. "This is your room." "Are you serious? I could hide so much candy in here!" She laughed. "Now, let's fix your outfit." My smile disappeared. "What's wrong with it?" "It's just not... Expensive enough." "Oh.. I'm sorry." "Oh no it's fine! I have an outfit. Just here." She gave me an outfit and pushed me to go change in the bathroom. I looked at the outfit and it was a dress. Wow. This is so not me. I put it on and came out of the bathroom.

I didn't feel comfortable in this and I automatically wanted to go home after that. She was trying to change me but I guess I had to deal with it. I came out and she smiled. She said I looked amazing. Every since that day it got worse, but I guess it was okay. Until one day I had enough.

        I woke up and threw on another dress. I didn't have a phone at the time so I couldn't call my mom unless I used aunt Claire's. I went into the bathroom and curled my hair. Aunt Claire taught me how too. I'm only 9 And I feel
Sixteen. But that's good I guess. I walked out my room and walked passed Aunt Claire's room. She was sleeping with another guy again.  I just tried not to cry and went to back to my own room. I got out my necklace and put it in my pocket. She doesn't worrying about feeding me anymore. I'm just a little dog to her. I went downstairs and went back to sleep. After awhile I woke up on the board walk with Aunt Claire and some guy. I was pretty much crying and she didn't care. I had enough of it and wanted to go home. "Do you even care about me?" I mumbled under my breathe looking down. "What sweetie?" She wasn't even looking at me. "Do you even care about me?" I said it louder looking dead in her eye this time. "Of course I do." "Then why don't you ever feed me or take care of me?!" "Well, when your older you do-" "IM
ONLY 9!! YOUR A TERRIBLE PARENT AND YOU KNOW THAT!! YOU WANT ME
FOR YOUR MEN AND MONEY." I went over to the guy she was with a pushed him in the water. I took his phone too. "Jada! Stop it right now!" I looked at her with tears and my eyes and said "Now you wanna be a good parent?" I then turned and jumped.
