Amazing Discovery
Chapter 1 – The mother
Ashley Layla Brooks sat on the couch watching her T.V as if it would disappear if she looked away or blinked. Her favourite wrestler John Cena was wrestling tonight against Edge. Edge was again challenging John for his Championship.
"Cena, Cena, Cena!" Ashley chanted with her friends, Lauren, Stephanie, Liam, Bradley, Greg and her best mate Victoria. They were all WWE fanatics, just like most their school were as well; causing the rather large club they had founded at school.
Ashley was leader and brought the group together. She was joined by a teacher – the boys wrestling coach- who was the back up in case they needed someone that had the power to keep control of the more flamboyant students.
Ashley had also been the one to protest and demand the school to let girls join the wrestling team and club. She had fought tooth and nail to get what she wanted and had succeeded when the head had involved himself. Ashley was naturally gifted at the sport but that didn't mean she didn't have to work. All her free time was spent in the gym, training, exercising and watching wrestling tapes learning new techniques and moves.
Finally the group cheered as the match came to a close and Cena was announced winner and still defending champion. They were soon interrupted by the scratchy slurred voice of Ashley's mother, Sadie Brooks.
"Oi brat, get up here this instance, I don't keep you here to be a lazy, good for nothing punk" Ashley le out a sigh as she trailed up the stairs of the basement. She hoped that her mother wanted something important or at least useful or fun although she knew the chances were slim. Ashley had always hated her mother but didn't do anything about it fearing her punishment, Ashley had many bruises and some scars from her mother beating her for doing things wrong or waking her up. When she reached the hallway her mother signalled for her to come over
"right brat I have become sick of your lack of discipline and have contacted your father to come to collect you. You will meet him tomorrow after dinner at 6'o'clock. Now go and tell those hooligans in the basement that they can sleep over tonight if they don't come tomorrow. You'll be too busy anyway. Phone their parents and make sure they're quick, I have to pay the phone bill and no lights on tonight as you watched extra tv and the electric limit you know is 1 hour tv, two and half hours light for you per night. Oh and you can have toast for supper and no jam or butter, I need the money." Her mother marched away then probably to get more wine. When she claimed she needed the money that was all she ever needed it for – alcohol.
Ashley stood there thinking up plans to get payback on her alcoholic for a mother. She went back down to tell her friends of the new plan and info, all were happy to find out she was going to meet her dad. After heading to their bedroom for the night and sat sleeping bags on the floor. While in the bedroom unknown to her friends Ashley was treating all her cuts and welts that her mother had gave her.
"My only chance is for my dad to be the complete opposite of my mother and for him to like me. Or I have no idea how I will survive in this hell I call life. But he can't be too great, after all he did have a child with my mother" Ashley whispered disgustedly. She re-entered the room and slid into her covers fantasising about a father, who'd treat her like a queen, who'd give her the thing she longed to experience – unconditional love.
AN:- I tried not to change it too much but I really hated the first version, the grammar and spelling was appalling. Thanks for reading peeps. REVIEW!
