This is How Love Goes

Alone

I'm sitting at the table in my boost up seat. I'm too short for the table although I'm 5. My blonde curly hair is pulled up into a high pony tail reveling my sparkling blue eyes. I stare across the table at my sister,Kesley, throwing a fit to get what she wants. Kesley is three years older than me and even though I am the youngest she is the favorite. She gets everything she wants while I sit back and watch. I didn't even try to get my way I knew it would fail horribly. Something always went wrong. I would want a toy but my mother would either say no or hand the same toy to Kesley while staring me straight in the eye. What a horrible feeling it is to be second runner up for the spot of the favorite. But I eventually got use to it.

The years came to pass and I grew fond of it. Being in my own world. No one to worry about and just be free. I learned to love it while I could. Most of the time I was broken out of my daze by my mother screaming at me to clean whilst my sister sat on her golden pedestule with her boyfriend, Graham. Since Graham had become a part of this family Kesley had become higher in the ranking. Not that she needed it she was always higher than me, Graham just boosted her status. And that was no help for me.

Graham would often be mean to me secretly when no one was looking except for Kesley of course. But she would always take his side and treat him like a baby. I only saw the bad in him. I only saw the bad in everybody. It's the only thing I could see. People would often find it hard to get close to me so they just figured it would be easier to just leave me alone. That's why it took me by suck a shock when he talked to me.
