On My Way

It is late Winter, on a muggy, December morning. The town of Glazier Rise, is peaceful; except for in one home, on the street of, Bushel walk. In this home, a young girl at the age of 16, lives with her abusive mother, Lindy and her dying uncle, Toby. Her name is Annabelle Shaw. Most people wouldn't know her and if she disappeared, no one would know, except for her uncle and mother; but they wouldn't care. Annabelle has lived a harsh life, after her fathers death. Her fathers name was Joseph and he was a very caring, full of life kind of guy. He went to prison, for a crime that he didn't commit; Annabelle is at least sure of that.

Annabelle sits at the top of the stairs, listening to Lindy and Toby bicker. They had fought almost all year and Lindy was threatening to throw him out. It wouldn't do any good, because he was bound to die sooner or later. Annabelle knew that and she felt a bit sorry for her poor uncle, ending up with her and her mother. But, he had no choice, since no one else would take him. Lindy only said yes, because he agreed to take care of Annabelle. Poor Toby, he was diagnosed with a disease, that Annabelle couldn't even say and he had less then a year left to live. Annabelle also knew that after Toby died, her mother would probably start hurting her again and then Annabelle would be taken away. But that was good, because she wanted to leave.
