"Ow! - Owww! Gosh darn it mom be more carful!" I say as my mom frantically yanks at my hair "brushing" it. But then I remembered who I just talked back to, and immediately regretted it. "Oh shut up brat! Before I smack your loud mouth out of that skinny face of yours." My mom says "It's only skinny because you don't feed me regularly." l mumble darn it Lander, when will you learn to shut your mouth! I think as I frantically think of a way to get out of this mess. But too late.. My mom grabs my rist, and yanks me around to face her. "Listen here brat it will be a long time before you eat if you ever talk to me like that again, do I make myself Clear!" I nod frantically and say "yes mother" and "sorry mother" as I run out of her bath room and into my room. Ok confession time: my mother is a Welty business woman that sells houses, but also has had like 20 husbands. None of witch care about me.. Anyway she is going out to a big party or something tonight, so I'm staying home with like my 7th step father. But it's ok they never really bother me they just stay at home drinking beer and watching the football game ect. My room is a tiny space in the back of the upstairs floor of our house. Unlike a lot of girls I know I don't have posters or a night stand or even a mirror. I have a bed frame so low it might as well been a frame on the ground, and I have I small tv I front of my bed. (Only because my mom has so much money she doesn't know what to spend it all on) The only decorative thing I have in my room is my bow and arrows on the wall, along with a target I use to practice on. I love to use my bow it has always been interesting to me and I have always loved it. I have a rickety closet on the far left corner of my room where I keep my few clothes. My school uniform, don't need that it's summer. My dress, which I used only for special occasions. A few torn and tattered jeans and a few shirts. "I need to get out of here" I thought "I want to leave" I said out loud to my self "you won't be doing that" a voice said that made me jump out of my skin. " oh mother umm... I-" "please" she cut me off " when your 18 you can go away from here" she said "but until then your staying here with me" I'm only 10 l thought. I can't make it that long I'll go crazy, or worse.. "Why can't I?" I ask "hmm" she says "why can't I leave now?" "Lander please your ten, you have no money and you wouldn't service a day out in the big bad wold"
She did the "big bad word" part in a baby voice that I hated. "Anyway I'm leaving for the party, and please don't scare of my husband I like him."
