On My Own

Chapter 1: Hurting

"Thanks Mom" I said.

My mom had just given me $500 dollars to go shopping with my friends. Okay fine my "friends" are really my cousins, but even THEY ignore me.

"Anything for you honey... Oh and don't forget, if you need more money use your emergency card your father and I gave you." My mom said.

I know I'm spoiled, but I don't care. The people who aren't in my shoes...well, I don't know any people who aren't in my shoes. FINE, I know!! I'm surrounded only by rich people.

"Mom am I allowed to have a boyfriend when I go to this "public" school that you and dad keep mentioning." I could tell that mom was very concerned and a little angry looking.

"Honey... Your father and I decided to keep you In a private school." mom said.

"But...MOM!! I am so freaking tired of being "private". I want to be out there! I am such a great singer and plus I'm an artist ! I don't deserve to be locked up in a closet!" I exclaimed.

"Now honey...." mom started.

"No! Don't even get started with another lecture! Me, Stacey, and Kelly are going to the mall now! I might sleep at Kelly's. The way you treat me it's like I am you and dads personal slave! Which I am not ! So bye, mom!" I cried.

"Now I have been way too patient with you young lady! And you might as well forget about going to the mall!" Mom turned to Kelly and Stacey, "Goodbye girls" she handed them $50 bucks, "Here is some gas money, now can me and my daughter have a little privacy please!" Kelly and Stacey waved and left our mansion immediately.

"I totally hate you and I wish you'd just... DIE!!!!" I yelled.

My mom slapped me so hard I felt a pre-sting, and an after-sting. "What the heck was that for !!" I yelled and ran up to the third story. I heard mom go in her room and grab something, then I heard her come up the stairs. Then there it was... The stinger, the Python, the vapor, the belt... She forced me to remove my clothes, including my underclothes. Then she slashed my body all over the place. She was going crazy with the belt. She hit my face on accident. The welp went across my eye to my chin. Mom put her hands up to her face and ran down stairs. I shrieked and yelled and mom starting swearing. Then I heard the door unlock, dad was home. I ran downstairs and I saw the change of dad's facial expression. He stood in awe.

"What in the world happened here?" Dad questioned.

I pointed to mom and then ran back to the third floor. I ran to my room and pulled out my jumbo size suitcases. I pulled out about 3 of them. I filled one of them up with my best dress suits and heels. In my second suitcase I had most of my casual outfits and some flats and tennis shoes. In my third suitcase, I had my pajamas and my makeup and my underclothes and my hair supplies. And mostly, my hygiene equipment. I hid the suitcases on my room balcony. I dad and mom arguing, then I heard a couple of slaps, then I heard... Nothing... Just pure silence.
