LITTLE DROPS OF LOVE

Life they say is full of challenges, both good and bad, but I have only experienced the bad side of life. Life as a teenager has not been the best so far, there are no roses, no butterflies in your stomach, there are no instances where you lie down on the beach with your partner after a romantic evening full of drinking and s*x. Love is a word that has no meaning for me, I have heard tales about how love brings people together, how one feels butterflies in one's stomach just because of love. But hell no!! Let's snap back into reality. This all started when I was in my teenage years, 16 to be precise. I have always admire how my mom and Dad loved each other so much, but there is more that meets the eye. After returning from school I was so tired and decided to lay low and not disturb my parents. I went into my room freshen up and stood in-front of my mirror. I always liked looking at my reflection in the mirror, admiring my long red hair, my big bright green eyes and my thick shaped body.I have always wondered why I have no resemblance to my parents, whenever I ask I always get one answer from them which is I looked like my late great grandmother whom I've never seen before. Lost in my thoughts , suddenly I heard a loud noice that jolted me back to reality. What was that? I asked myself. I decided to go to the dining room because that was where the noise came from. Immediately I run downstairs and saw my mom and Dad quarrelling, I could never believe my eyes, is what am seeing true or just a pigment of my imagination? I closed my eyes and pinch myself hard, I slowly opened my eyes and realised this was my reality. My once perfect world crumbling in front of my eyes, sobbing and crying I ran upstairs to my room locked myself up and cried myself to sleep.........
