Why?
Its the same question I ask myself everyday for the past 2 years as I look at my reflection in the mirror, what was once a happy face is now being looked back at through teary eyes as I rush out shoving what I can into my backpack and grabbing all I need to leave this god forbidden place.
Running down the stairs passing the family pictures on the wall that consists of my ma and pa, they were my everything... Janet and Roger Robert's grew up together in Colorado later becoming sweethearts and having 4 children, my 3 elder brothers, triplets infact Aaron, Blake and Ethan and then their is me... Cherry Marigold Robert's, we were once such a happy family until....
Flashback:
"Come on Cherry were gonna be late getting back" my ma shouts to me as I hug my friends goodbye. Skipping towards her she reaches out her pale hand as she crosses the now empty road, both of our eyes sparkling with happiness as I go to cath up with her reaching out my own she laughs "come on Cher" rolling my eyes increasing my speed as she's half way towards the car across the street the flashing of lights takes my attention away from her smile "shrecchhhhh"
who would of knew it would be the last time we laughed... such a joyful sound.
Flashback Ends
Shacking not only the memory away but my fresh fallen tears my eyes catch sight of one specific photo full of smiles making my heart ache, ache full of love, full of hate "ahhhh" I shout grabbing the photo frame of the wall throwing it down the stairs as my tears flow down my now red puffy face. Grabbing the photo closest to it "why ma, why did you have to leave me.. I miss you so much, I beg you please forgive me I can't keep my promise I can't stay any longer" I whisper looking at the picture of my ma and me as I take the photo out the frame and place it in my bag leaving behind a letter in my place. Slamming the door behind me taking one last look at what was once my family home the place I felt the most protected at but now the place I call my hell.... memories that once held me back flash before me but so does the pain as I turn my back and run
