Once upon a time there was a family that loved and cherished each other. Then the next day the mother found out that she had breast cancer at stage 3. The doctors said that their was nothing that they could do to help because the cancer has spread to much in her body that they wouldn't be able to save her, but they told her that they could possibly delay it from happening quickly if she did chemotherapy but that would have her not feel as good as she could. She had a choice to make if she wanted chemotherapy or to live the days and hours that she had left happily without chemotherapy. Cinderella's mom took a few days and decided that she didn't want to do the chemotherapy and live her life while she can. The next day her parents went to the doctors to see if they could do anything at home to help her be comfortable. On that day the doctor told them that she would only have about 4 months left to live.
For the next few months the family watched movies at home or went to the theater, go on picnics in the park, go to the ice cream parlor, and etc. During the moments that they had together they would take pictures to remember her before she passed away. The last thing that the family was able to do happily was to celebrate Cinderella's 10th birthday. The next day Cinderella came home from school and found her mother lying down on the couch with a blanket and a pillow with her looking like she is taking a nap. Cinderella went to take her backpack up to her room and did her math homework. After half an hour she heard the front door open and went downstairs knowing that it was her father coming home from work. She ran up to her father and gave him a hug.
"Cinderella where is your mother?" her father asked her once she was done hugging her.
"She is on the couch in the living room taking a nap. I found her like that when I got home", her father's eyes started to go wide and the next thing that she noticed is that he was running towards the living room. She started to walk slowly to the living room scared of whats to come. When she came into the living room and behind the couch she found that her father was over her mother crying while on the phone. He was crying so much that she couldn't tell what he was saying. Cinderella was just stood their frozen and her father just kept crying over her. She noticed that no matter what her father was doing her mother wasn't waking up. She didn't understand what was happening until the paramedics came to the house and was starting to take her away that she figured out that her mother has passed away that Cinderella started to cry. Her father didn't even come and comfort her about her mothers death. Ever since that day her father doesn't like to see her or talk to her unless it's necessary and nobody knows why. All that Cinderella did was that she stayed up in her room and cried. During that week her friends and family would come up to her room to check up on her and to see if she would open the door. The rest of the school year went like that between her and her father. There was no communication and only saw each other because of the daily breakfast and dinner. There were no pictures of her mother around or anything that she loved. It was like she never existed. The only thing that she had of her mother is the locket that she gave her and the pictures that were taken of her.
Over the summer after the school year ended she found out that her father has proposed to a women that she knew nothing about or seen. A week after Cinderella found out about the women that would become her step-mother her and her daughters moved into her house. At first they were nice to her but then the wedding came up. On the day of the wedding her father and he step-mother stayed away from her including her new step-sisters. The only people that would talk to her was her grandparents that were invited. Her father didn't invite anyone from her mothers side of the family to make this new change more possible for her. After the wedding and honeymoon was over everyone was at the house and they ignored Cinderella and at some point they started giving her chores. She didn't think anything of it because he friends have to do the same type of chores as she was. Whenever she was done with her chores for the day she would go to her mothers grave to talk to her about what's going on and to feel like she is still their in her life.
