I welcomed the quiet of my new home.No paparazzi storming me while I’m in the shower,no fans hiding in my closet taking pictures of me.Just quiet.I could finally walk around in public without bodyguards,and no more worrying about making mistakes that could end my career,BECAUSE THE CAREER IS OVER YESSSS.I could live my life before this modeling and singing contract.I was no longer Ms.Popular!

(True events)My daughter smiled in her poofy blue dress,she looked so beautiful.After many harsh rounds of judging she was one of three of the final contestants,she had cried for weeks because her dad wouldn’t be able to make it,not that he couldn’t,he just chose not to.Don’t even know why my baby girl cried over him,she should’ve been used to his disappointment.Always giving her false hope and lying to her as he did me.I watched as my daughter finished the singing portion and smiled as applause erupted all around her.

It was the final round and all she had to do was dance with her dad for the father daughter dance portion,then she had to give a speech.I would’ve never expected this to happen.Her dad was still nowhere to be found,so she walked down the stairs of the stage and out of the competition.I ran after her but damn for a kid who only eats gold fish crackers she runs hella fast.

I found her on the floor,sniffling and ruining her makeup.I smiled warmly as I offered to dance with her,but she simply said.”No..My father is supposed to be here,to dance with me..when is he going to treat me like I’m important mommy?” She said as her little lip quivered and trembled.She started to cry again and said,”Can we just go home?I don’t want to be here.” Not even making eye contact.Then a sparkle formed in her eyes as she ran back to the competition.The song started and as her competition danced with her dad,my daughter danced on her own.I could hear everyone whispering things like.”Does she not have a father?” And “Shes so brave” while admiring my little ball of energy

After the song ended the judges applauded loudly,smiling at my baby.”So..miss?Where is your father?” Judge 1 asked.”I dont know,but i dont know what I expected,i guess coming to see me wasn’t a priority” she said as she looked down at her little blue flats.I sat there confused wondering how she knew these words and if this was how she felt?

I kind of doubted she’d win the competition after that.But to my surprise they called her name and declared her winner of the pageant.At the last minute her dad showed up,but she didn’t even look at him.She walked clean past him and to the car with her trophy.I admired my baby girl...oh I admired her so much 𒊹︎

It had been a while i had gotten out of the house,i felt cramped because my 17 relatives were staying in my moms small 7 bedroom home.Stepping outside,the cool air hit my face harshly,as if slapping me with frost.I steered past the trees of my old home and came into an unfamiliar clearing.See..I know the woods like the back of my hand,lived here since I was 4,I never get lost,even when it’s pitch black I can still navigate,but this clearing seemed new..I started to walk the path,but something wasn’t right,it got colder and colder and colder then completely warm,but there was a misty fog like substance surrounding the path.I tried to touch the path but it burned me harshly.Confusion took over my face as I tried to walk past it but as soon as I walked past it,I suddenly couldn’t breathe,my whole body felt like it was on fire.I quickly got out,coughing and gasping for air.

As soon as I made it home my grandmother was in the middle of a story,which she always did to scare my younger siblings,I was on my way to my room when the story she was telling caught me by surprise.I walked into the kitchen and pretended to make a sandwich while I eavesdropped.The story went like this.”There was a young demon who fell in love with a human,they had a kid and the human died,and turned to a misty fog,and when the demon/human spawn touched the fog,they started to burn and couldn’t breathe,because they’ve walked upon their dead parent.”

My mouth was opened wide,with shock.I looked at my grandmother and..turns out,she was looking at me with a smile.”And now you see why your name is Misty” her grandmother said as she changed stories as quickly as she’d finished

Raina sat at her desk ready for math class,after finishing the task in 2 minutes she calmly waited for class to be over..”Hello everyone” her math teacher said as she walked in with a warm smile.”Hello Mrs.Frenzy” everyone greeted with genuine smiles.”We have a new student,please welcome him warmly” she said as a tall guy walked in confidently.He had dark brown hair and Hazel eyes that looked so sweet,but his expression was cold.

“This is Greyson everyone,You can go sit by Raina dear” she directed as Raina raised her hand.The class flew by quickly and the bell rang signaling the end of first period..”Um Raina can you show mr Descato around?It is his first day after all!” The teacher asked after all the students except for Raina and Grey had left.”Yes Mrs.F” she said as she guided Greyson across the campus.After half an hour the tour was over.

“It was nice to meet you Greyson.Hope this school treats you nicely.” Raina said emotionlessly as she calmly turned to walk away.”Wait!” Greyson said as he grabbed her arm.”Can we um be friends?” he asked while pushing his dark brown bangs away from his face.”Sure.” Raina said blankly as she put her headphones in and strolled to the Library for her free period.”Where are you going?” He asked calmly,sticking his hands in his pockets to make it seem as if he didn’t care.”Off to the library” she replied clearly annoyed,now half running.

The end of the day had come,as Raina grabbed her belongings and closed her locker,then scrunched her face up in disgust.”Hello Sweetie!Please get out of my way!” Allison said as she plastered her famous fake bitch smile at Raina.”Um I’m not blocking the hallway” Raina replied as she started to walk away.Allison laughed forcefully and walked past Raina,pushing her to the floor and giggling,with “Oopsie!” As her and her posse walked off.”Raina are you okay?” Greyson asked as he ran to Raina and helped her pick up her things.”Yeah,Allison is just a bitch in general” Raina said as she smirked and finished picking up her things.

A few months later Raina and Grey’s relationship improved and they were best friends,except...did Grey see Raina as just..a friend?The summer was coming to an end and Raina had just caught up with Greyson at a cafe.”Hey dude” she said half smiling.”Heyyy” Greyson said happily as he grabbed Raina’s hand,caressing it gently.”I um..have to talk to you..about us.” Greyson said,blushing,and for the first time in her life,Raina blushed and looked him in his eyes.This was going to be the start of something new..

My mom always said I was her successful child,that she loved me and cared for me tremendously.But what about my little sister?My mom treated her like she couldn’t do anything right..My little sister came home crying from school because kids bullied her,because my mom never really bought her nice things like she did for me.I didn’t get my moms deal with my little sister,when I was nice to my baby sister my mom would make this disgusted face,as I help with homework or dishes,or as we play with the dog together.There was always this cold blank stare on her face,like she wanted me to act the same.Me and my sister never argued,I even gave her some of my jewelry and perfumes,and old clothing that looked nice on her.Because I loved her but I don’t think my mom felt the same.The day my sister was born I was 11,I smiled at her beautiful brown eyes and chubby cheeks but my mom just stared at her,my dad had died the exact day of her birth.So I guess her emotions were mix matched,but my sister was gorgeous.but I guess my mom didn’t like her,with every bone in her body,I kind of had to take care of her when I was 11.I changed her diaper,fed her,bought her toys and clothes with my allowance from the dollar store,and I washed her cups and clothes.I dressed her for daycare and pushed her stroller to daycare,at the age of 11.I was now 17 and woke up for school,I brushed my teeth and got dressed,then ran to my sisters room to wake her up,she was now 6,and incredibly beautiful.I tried to open her door but something was blocking it,but it was quiet in her room.I forcefully based the door in and screamed at the sight,my sister lying on the cold floor unconscious.I picked her body up and cried and screamed for help,my mom ran in,and when she saw the sight...she sat beside me,emotionless and hugged me as I held my sister.”IM CALLING AN AMBULANCE” I screamed at my mother.But she looked at me and said,”you’re not calling anyone dear” and pulled out a bat,then everything went black.

When I look in the mirror Staring back at me is not myself The girl that looks back at me is torn Broken into a thousand pieces She’s hurt,abandoned,her wounds were reopened And she is me,but the me I’ve hidden for a while ~Kayla Lee/Jakayla Ledbetter

I finished my night routine and yawned,I had a habit of looking into the mirror for hours,not because I’m beautiful,but because my mirror shows my hidden,pushed faults.The girl in the mirror was me,but it showed my covered bruises,like how my dad left,her heart was bleeding.When her mom married someone else,her heart raged,and caught fire,when her mom had another kid,her heart was healed for a bit,but when her mom neglected her to take care of her baby brother,the sparkle in her eyes was gone,when she starved herself,she got skinnier,she started 6th grade,the cuts on her legs deepened,when her dad was shot,a hold formed in her heart,but she smiled because she thought.”No one should feel the pain I did,So I’ll make others happy” but did it really help?Slowly dad by dad pieces of the girl disappeared,until when I looked in the mirror,there was no reflection,and slowly,no one saw me,I sad calmly as I watched my funeral,Everyone cried but I didn’t get why. (Based on my life)

Kaitlyn opened her eyes slowly to a dark room,she didn’t remember anything from the past night and thought she was just drunk in her room again.She tried to move but something was restraining her.Suddenly the lights flickered,on,off,on,off.She looked down and saw she was tied to a worn down wooden chair.Rolling her eyes she said,”IS THAT ALL YOU GOT BITCH??” as she moved both of her legs upwards.After doing so she maneuvered her arms under her legs and untied herself easily,then her legs.She reached into her left back pocket for her pepper spray,it was gone,She reached into her right,and there was her fake phone,I know you’re thinking..”Why does she have a fake phone..Well,”So I guess you’d rather be tased than pepper sprayed huh?” She said without hesitation,as she turned on the disguised stun gun.Slowly,she walked over to the door,after a few minutes no movement she tried to open it,it was locked.She scoffed and said,”This is getting Ridiculous now!” As she used her bare fist to smash the door knob in.

The knob dropped to the floor with a clank.She walked around the place until she found an exit,but someone was already waiting...”Hello Ms.Jameson!” A guy said cheerfully.”Where the fuck am I and how do you know my name?” Kaitlyn asked,not in the mood for pleasantries.”I’d watch my mouth if I were you Kaitlyn.” The man said,through clenched teeth.Kaitlyn reached into her jacket and surprisingly her gun was still there.Without hesitation she took it out and pulled the trigger,watching his body drop to the ground.Rolling her eyes she kept moving,guard after guard,after guard,after guard,Until she found the man she wanted to see.”You.” Was all she said as she took our her gun.”Ah,you found me daughter!” Her psychotic father said in a giddy tone.Her face scrunched and she walked right past him,putting the gun to his stomach and pulling the trigger,and all she said before she took hi car,was.. “You should know not to fuck with Kaitlyn Jameson,you raised me..” As she drove away.
