"Secret Angel"
I was shaking and crying in my were screaming at each other again.
"I HATE YOU" shrieked my step-mom at my dad throwing her hands in th air for emphasis.
"THEN WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE" bellowed my dad red in the face.
"FINE I WILL" she screamed stomping towards the door.I went running after her.
"Please don't leave us" I whimpered she looked confused so I screamed "DON'T LEAVE US ALONE" refering to my siblings and I.
"Don't worry i'll be back" she said with a smile that didn't quite reach her was the last time I saw my dad slammed the door with a smug smirk on his face I knew at that moment that I hated that he tried to erase every memory we had of her.I remeber she loved the song "my favorite things" from the sound of used to sing it to me before i went to sleep.I never heard that song at my dad's house ever to it brought back so many good memories .When he started smoking it became a nasty habit. As the price for cigarettes went up the money in his wallet went down,and are piggybanks and birthday money followed then got with a horrible excuse of a woman has so litle of my respect i will not degrade myself to say her brother did not legally have to be there he left me alone with josie to daughter was an insult to the polish son was a nightmare he once stepped on me when i was sleeping,and left a mark on my all laughed at the act their little monster commited.I would always go home screaming.
"I HATE HER" my voice was ringing throughout the house."WHY AREN'T YOU THERE WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME ALONE " I screamed at my brother near a mental breakdown. I looked like a cornered animal "SHE SAID SHE'D COME BACK SO WHERE IS SHE WHERE IS SHE" my voice had become high pitched with my her song came all the memories came back they were of happy times, but they were also painful because I knew I would never be that happy clutching my head in frustration I let out one more anguish filled scream before dropping to my knees crying.I know how i must have looked and only one word describes .
My mom was there in an instant comforting me "It's alright it's okay" she said soothing me.I must of looked ridiculous crying while my mom held me,but i didn't care.I needed someone to protect me,to comfort me."Dont worry" she said "I'm there for you".Those four words seemed to echo over and over again in my head.The truth of them was startling. She was there for me she always had been. Watching over me making sure i didn't get hurt or was like an angel always there for me even though i didn't notice was no dought my own "Secret Angel".
