My Story....

Chapter Eight

I ignored you any chance that I got. I didn't eat when you all did. I didn't go to the mall when you did. Why should I? You didn't want me around and you made that pretty clear. You managed to take my phone. You searched my room for it. But I guess you taking my phone didn't matter to me anymore. I got a job, I bought everything I needed for myself. It was finally time for Prom. Remember that best friend i fell in love with? I was supposed to go with her. But you wouldn't allow that to happen. That prom wasn't meant for two girls to go together. You said I could either go with a guy or not at all. I still went, I had already bought the dress.One of my friends did my makeup and I did my hair. I just went with friends. I had fun, but you somehow managed to still ruin it for me. I came home thirsty minutes late and you were pissed. You managed to take a night full of laughter, horrible food and dancing and ruin it. YOU RUINED PROM FOR ME and it was already over. How?

It was time for graduation and I was beyond excited. Excited to be done with that place. I found a school I wanted to go to. Upper Iowa University. I loved it. It was small and 238 miles, 4 hours and 13 minutes away from you. We moved that summer into an apartment, because you couldn't afford the house you were living in. Care to explain why?

You "Closed down" your daycare.

I quote it because it was a lie. You didn't close it down, you were SHUTDOWN. Wanna know why? Because you decided to lie on how many kids were in the building, hads were put on children, and a long list of other laws broken. Don't believe me? Look up Brighter Horizons Childcare and Development Center and tell me what you find. The truth hurts doesn't it? You're friend said that I should care more about you, listen to you, ask what's wrong... Shouldn't it be the other way around. She tried to put it into my head that you were the one going through things and needed someone. Did you or was that a lie too?

It was finally time for me to leave. I would finally be rid of you. My plan? I would get a job while I was there, then I would get my own place and never have to see you again. I would have my own things and my own life. You ruined that plan. The day you were supposed to take me, you changed your mind. You said it was too far and you wanted me close in case you needed someone to watch the other girls. Why couldn't their older sisters do it? Oh, maybe because you kicked them both out when they wouldn't abide by the crazy ass rules you created. I won't get into that because I couldn't possibly care any less about that than I do right now.
