AN: So I posted this before, but I really didn't know what I wanted out of the story plus, I really didn't like my writing in the first chapter so I edited some stuff and am almost done with the first chapter. I will try to post it today or tomorrow if I get reviews. I'm leaving for Hawaii on Wed. and will be back next Tues. probably with a ton of homework, so I'll try and update the second chapter as soon as I have some time.

SILENT:

When my mom left us, she told me she fought for us but couldn't take it anymore and she told me to take care of my dad and she

When my mom left us, she told me she fought for us but couldn't take it anymore and she told me to take care of my dad and she would always be in my heart. I was 4 and I remember her words as I sat on her hospital bed, staring at her frail body her being so out of it. I didn't really understand but I remember when the constant beeping went faster and faster until it was 1 long beep, and tears just constantly flowing down my face as the nurses and doctors flew around me, my dad crying me in the middle of it all.

My dad was never there it was always me and my mom, and when she died he didn't know what to do with me. I coped by not talking to anyone, I would just sit in my room reading my favorite stories over and over again, at least the small ones that my mom taught me to read, or I had memorized, the others I would just look at the pictures.

He was confused at what to do about me not talking and he yelled a lot he screamed and a couple of times he would shake me. I was scared of him, and every night I would pray for God to bring my mom back to me, and everyday I would be disappointed.

After about 2 weeks he had to go back to work, he would just leave me alone, not really thinking about it. One day there was a knock at the door, when I went to answer it, it was my Aunt Judy.

"Hey sweetie how are you doing." I remember her asking me, but I didn't talk I just gave her a blank stare. "Did your dad let you answer the door?" When I didn't answer she walked into the house calling my dad's name. "Is he even here?" I just shook my head. She furiously went into my room telling me to put all my favorite things into laundry baskets, and then she put all my clothes in them too. She took me into my mom and dad's room asking me if there was anything I wanted of my moms. I took a couple of pictures, her favorite dresses and some of her jewelry. My aunt wrote everything we took on a paper leaving it on the counter. After putting it all into the car and she transferred the carseat from my mom's car to hers we took off.

She stopped at my dad's office yanking me through it until we got to his office where they said he was in a meeting. She pulled me into it despite their protests, and then she yelled at my dad.

"What the HELL were you thinking?" she screamed and I couldn't take it anymore, I started hysterically crying.

"I'm in a meeting." He yelled back.

"You left a 4 year old in the house by herself! The damn doors weren't even locked."

"I'm in a meeting! And I have done it everyday this week it's not like it matters she doesn't do anything but cry. She won't talk, she won't eat, she won't sleep…" He was cut off by my aunt.

"So you leave her home alone so,"

"She…" my aunt cut him off.

"Your supposed to be her father, wait she hasn't eaten?"

"Not for a few days." They were still screaming, I was even more hysterical and everyone else in the room looked uncomfortable or disgusted.

"She is coming with me." She said taking my hand.

"NO she isn't," he grabbed my arm hard and yanked me, and it hurt which only made me cry harder.

"Don't touch her like that I will get custody of her if it takes that but I'm taking her for her welfare."

"FINE TAKE HER IT IS HER FAULT HER FUCKING FAULT!" He didn't let go of my arm.

"Don't blame her!"

"IT WAS HER DAMN FAULT; IF SHE WAS NEVER BORN THEN MY WIFE WOULDN'T HAVE DIED." He pushed me hard, and I hit the wall, the last thing I remember is reaching my hand up to my forehead and seeing blood on my hand before everything went black.

The next thing I knew I woke up at my aunt's house and she never talked about it again. She took me to my mom's grave which was near the city where she lived, next to their mom. I cried a lot but eventually I started getting over it.

A week ago my aunt died, she was so much like my mother, but so different. I miss her and I miss my mom. I haven't talked in a week, it is too hard, and it annoys everyone around me except my uncle, well it didn't when he was alive, he committed suicide yesterday. Now that I have nowhere to go I have to go back to that hick town to live with my dad, his new wife and her son. They told me he 'turned over a new leaf' and that I should give him a chance because he was a changed person. I'm not sure about everything, but what options do I have, I'm a 15 years old and I haven't talked in 7 days, my mom died when I was 4 and I just lost my aunt and uncle.

"Haley James, its time to go." The idiot of a social worker told me like I was deaf and stupid.
