As screwed up as my life was, I always found joy in singing. I sang everyday, no matter what happened. 歌う helped me remember a better time. A time when 'he' wasn't around. A time when my mother WAS around. A time when I wasn't alone.
Chapter 1- Ring Around The Rosies
I jerked awake. I was covered in cold sweat, and I still had flashbacks of the nightmare stuck in my head.
"No! Mother, please, don't go!"
There was no use in falling asleep again. It was already 6:40, and soon enough, my stepfather would barge in my room, yelling at me to get up, calling me names, threatening to beat me.
"Dad! No! Please stop. I'll get up!"
I got up from my ベッド and tiptoed as quietly as I could to the bathroom. I heard a grumble coming from my stepfather's room, but soon, it quieted down, and he was steadily sleeping again. I tried not to think about what happened the last time I woke him up.
"Father, I swear! I didn't mean to wake you!"
I shuddered, trying to shake the memories from my head. I then started a hot, steamy shower, and took off my pajama pants and tank top. I stepped in, and pretended the hot water was washing away my pain, and grief. I began to sing quietly, as I did everyday. Never had I not sang in the morning, for it was the only way to relive the good times.
"Oh, Andrea, あなた are my angel. My sweet, sweet, little angel. I 愛 you."
"I 愛 あなた too, Daddy."
Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the hallway.
I shut off the シャワー and grabbed a towel as fast as possible, wrapping it around my body. My stepfather opened the door and said, "Andrea! Are あなた finished showering?!"
"Y-Yes sir. I just got d-done."
"Good. Go get dressed. Lisa's gonna take あなた to school today."
Even though I hated Lisa with all my ハート, 心 and soul, I didn't dare say anything about her.
"Okay."
"Excuse me? What did あなた just say?"
"I 発言しました okay."
"WHAT DO あなた SAY WHEN I TELL あなた SOMETHING?"
"Um..."
He tore the シャワー curtain off it's rack.
"ANSWER ME!"
He slapped my arm, hard.
"Y-Yes sir!"
"Right. Get that though your thick head before I get it though for you."
I gulped.
"Yes sir."
He opened the bathroom door, and left me to drop down into the tub and cry.
Oh, God, why did I have to live like this?

"Oh my gawd! Lauren, あなた like Jack?!" 発言しました Koshi. I blushed and replied,"... Yeah, so what?" she gave me a puzzled look, and then she caught up with my 質問 of curiosity and rolled her eyes and said, "So what? Do あなた even know the reason why it's a problem?" I shrug and say, "No," her face starts to get red like a cherry. I クロス my arms, and shifted my weight on my left leg. "Why? Is it a problem if I like Jack?" Koshi looked down and looked at me like I should've heard."He wasn't a good boyfriend." I raised my eyebrows.What? Why hasn't anybody told me that Koshi and Jack were going out? Why? "Oh.My.GAWD!"
