Cara's POV(the main character)
I was playing with my dolls, minding my business when the door swung open, revealing my mom speaking absurd words.
"Caroline didn't I tell you to clean up this fucking mess in here?? You know what happens when you do listen to your mom that provides for your bratty ass right?" she slurred, staggering closer to me.
"Mom you told me that yesterday not to-"
"Shut your mouth!"
She stumbled closer to me, smirking from the fear I had in my eyes.
"Frank get in here and take care of this waste!" she yelled to her boyfriend, clutching my ponytail.
"no no no please stop, please stop mom, please, please" ~ "Please, please, please"
I jolted up into a sitting position on my bed, gasping for air.
Oh, thank God it was just another nightmare.
It just all felt too real, that was from my 6th birthday so it kind of is.
I got out of bed and headed to the shower, getting ready for the big day. My birthday.
What a coincidence?
Once I got ready I headed down the hallway, smelling the waffles and french toast on my way.
I made my way into the kitchen and saw everyone other than Robbie.
"Oh! good morning honey. He had to take a call from his boss but he should be back shortly. Happy 16th birthday honey!! Sit down and eat, then hopefully Robbie will be back so you can open your birthday presents." Nevaeh said sweetly.
I was filling up my plate and was on my way to get the last waffle, but then while I was going in to get it with my fork, Connor slapped my hand away, grabbed it, and ran off.
I winced back, remembering my dream, but putting on a playful irritated face to cover it up.
"Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you can take away what's rightfully mine!" He yelled while running into the dining room.
