*Veronica's POV*

     I went home and opened the door with my keys which were held together in a small red teddy bear, key holder. I entered my room and lay flat on my bed, thinking about him. How annoying he is and why he was always so controlling and too bossy.

          I shook my head to forget about him and stood to remove my clothes. I put on a pair of black three-quarter jeans and a red cotton top.

          I went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. I opened my cupboard to check on what to eat, if any. I saw my last ramen noodles. I was indeed happy. I will have to meet my aunt from my mother's side, to ask for money. She only gave me money and never accommodated me in her huge house, which was very spacious. Mean, I know.

            I only slept over for a short period. That was when my mother died. The next three months after that, she didn't bother to even call or come check up on me. She was very self-centered.

            I put it in the microwave to boil and eat quickly. Cause I was indeed hungry, like extremely starving. I woke up by the sound of the microwave and quickly removed the cup noodles which were almost burnt. I ate it and was satisfied. I moved to my room read a little wrote about today in my diary and slept off afterward.

                      ***********.                      
I woke up lazily and stood up to turn the clock in my room. It read 6:30 am. I woke up early today, unlike other days. I have to arrange the house, wash some clothes and do the dishes.

          I moved down to the kitchen after brushing my teeth and washing my face, I started arranging the kitchen and did the dishes. I went to the parlor and started cleaning. It was dirt. I dusted the television and some other things on the television stand.

        After that, I went out of the house to a nearby grocery store to get some food to eat and came back home. I prepared spaghetti with a little seafood in it and an egg. I hated them but that was what the little money I had left could afford.

        Finally, I was done with the cleaning. I went to the bathroom to get my bath. After I was done I got dressed wearing black jeans red cotton crop top a pair of red sandals. I was off to my aunt's place.

              ********
    I stopped the taxi driver right in front of my aunt's house. It was extremely big with a black gate and a fence made of bricks, It was painted white. I looked at the huge building which was painted cream and aqua-green colour. I looked at the cars parked in the wide-open garage.

"I think she is about to leave, " I said as I turned to the dog which I just woke up as I shouted.

    It looked fierce and big with his black leather collar. Men I hate dogs with spilling spit all over their faces. It was indeed disgusting and the sight I dreaded.

     I entered the house through a metallic door. I called out to get attention. "Hello, anyone home?."

    "Yes, how are you."

  I looked to check who spoke. It was my cousin, Emily. She has brown eyes, blond shoulder-length hair, and a little fat compared to my slim body. She was just right, not too chubby not too slim.

"Fine, how are you? Emily." I said with a wide smile.

  "Fine, cool. It has been long since you came to visit. The last time I wasn't in." She said as she came to give me one of her famous bear hugs.

  "Me too, I missed you. Well, what about Aunt..... Has she left yet?"I said as we broke the hug.

  "No, she is still in. She is getting dressed." She answered with a wide smile, showcasing her dimples.
