Spring and maybe the obscene

Sat at my desk, I quickly turn and look at the crack in my door I caused earlier from getting angry with my step-mother, Clara. I wasn't meant to do it, I just got angry because she's getting married and I swear the woman she is getting married to is controlling her.
My name is Melody Oswald, I'm not exactly related to Clara but she is my grandmother in truth, but I was born and then I died, and then I regenerated and then I died and regenerated again. I'll explain this all later.
This story starts with the Daleks, a species Clara says, they have plungers and look like upside down salt shaker things, well she told me this earlier, so I'm not taking it word for word, but as I sit here I start to think weather they actually exist. In my world I don't know what is real, I have a bad temper which apparently I get from my mother, who has left me on my own with Clara.
My mother is called Olivia, Olivia May Oswald, and yes she is Clara's child but sick and twisted. Olivia left me to die when I was a baby, she left me or gave me away to Madame Kovarian so I could die and this is where it gets's interesting... Because I can't die, well I can but I don't die the way humans do, no, I cheat death, I regenerate.
Yeah I don't know much , but what I do know is that I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, I've hurt too many people I love and I don't even know if my dad cares anymore, he is the Doctor, yes he's an alien too, he used to be a nice alien but whatever happened to that... Anyway, I'm Melody Oswald and this is not your normal book or story you would read, I'm telling you now.
My original grandfather, used to do terrible things to Clara and Olivia you can't even imagine the pain they have been through, but Olivia these days is such a spiteful cow, I don't even know why I bother, I don't know why I bothered helping her, maybe I helped her because she was my mother but with Clara I could trust her and believe me we have basically sailed in the same boat as each other. We've been tortured and hurt and we've had court trials and I've been executed, by now you may be thinking, "Why the hell is she writing her life story?" Well it is my life story but if you carry on reading and choose not to ignore it, welcome but if you stop reading I swear you are missing out because tonight I'm starting to write this because I've been down, very down recently and I still am.
My name is Melody Oswald and this, well...
This is Page one.
Chapter 2
I wake and turn gently over to check my clock, "6:30am" I mutter. I slowly stand up and go to my desk and line up all the papers and put my pens and pencil's in a pot, but today I decide seems as I was getting the silent treatment earlier on yesterday, I feel it is suitable for me to give Clara the silent treatment for today, considering the fact last night I was giving Clara advice on what to wear for her night out.
She is getting married soon, to her mate, Nina. Now many of you reading will think getting married to a woman is wrong but many would say it's a part of life but right now I feel the same way you do too, so you're not on your own, to be honest it feels like crap. I got shouted at yesterday for not obeying Clara or it's the other way around, a bit. I did hit her the previous day and keep her hostage for some time and attack her, but it isn't my fault her girlfriend is a control freak and Clara can't see bloody past it, she doesn't believe me and to top it all off she called me a pig and a cow, you probably don't know who to feel sorry for, me or Clara, but honestly all of this is Clara. Clara is twenty and I'm twenty one, confusing right?
My mum I think, Olivia she killed me, I was in hospital and I remember waking up in Clara's house, Olivia...Olivia don't talk to me about her no respect whatsoever. Honestly you have no idea how I feel every morning waking up knowing my 'Mother' is, is slagging me off behind my back. Nina is the control freak and like I said and I will keep saying it NINA IS THE CONTROL FREAK AND I DON'T LIKE IT! I just have to go along with it or I get thrown out, so I'm staying put.
I've just been out and I come back to find Clara, the right cow had gone through my stuff and read what I write and what you have just read, she has no bloody right! Then, then she sent it to her girlfriend, she had no right! Clara had a go at me and I told her to get off of my back and then as I go to walk out the door she grabs my wrist and asks me if I had a problem, but I stayed quiet and then she asked if I was Jealous and of course I said no, because I'm not, I just don't think it's right. Clara then threatened me with moving out by tomorrow lunchtime and she said she'd give me £500 to rent a flat down the road, err no! Who the hell does she think she is!? So she wants me gone by tomorrow and I'm not budging, no I don't see why I should. Then godsarly turns up, Nina and she has no right either, she said 'Am I interrupting you?' and I replied, "Yeah mine and Clara's bloody lives." Then Clara said she was just telling me to move out and I was and still am fuming, so I went back to my room and slammed my door and then threw whatever I could at it.
5 minutes later, Clara comes in, "We need to go out, the three of us." I looked up at her and said, "Chucking me out are we?" and she said, "No, we're going to talk to someone." And I replied, "Who?" Surely I had the right to ask seems as she is slagging me off and not listening to me. Guess what she said, "A Doctor." Then I did go blazing, Believe me I was fuming and these are my exact words, "A Doctor?! A BLOODY DOCTOR, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO NEEDS A DOCTOR NOT ME!"
Is she out of her mind? I thought.
This is what I said to her afterwards, "You think that's fine do you? OH WE DON'T MIND AS LONG AS WE'RE ALL GOING MELODY WILL COME TOO!" Melody replied sarcastically. "NOT HAPPENING LOVE NOT BLOODY HAPPENING!" I really was mad, I didn't like this at all, she thinks it's acceptable. It's not. She then said, that she had handcuffs or she was dragging me there. Child cruelty right there!
After our ''Discussion'' Clara calls her girlfriend through and she shoved me against the wall and handcuffed me and I fought with them both screaming out random things, because what they were doing wasn't right.
Chapter 3
I get handcuffed and thrown in the car basically because they both don't like me. They then take me to this bloody hospital to see a bloody Doctor and I'm not the one who needs a Doctor, Clara and her control freak of a girlfriend do.
They try dragging me up a corridor but I have none of it. I pull Nina to one side to stall her but Clara is more Clever than me. She went and Bloody knocked on the Doctor's door and he came out, put something in my arm and that's all I remember, until I woke up.
I woke up to find some sick twats had tied me up and the Doctor Padly person told me to stay calm, did I heck as like. I was shouting lots of abuse, telling Clara it wasn't right and all of that and then I think I made a mistake, I made a sick gesture about her real mum. Well I have no sympathy, she shouldn't get me tied up. The Doctor guy asked me to stay calm again and I basically told him no.
I remember waking up feeling much calmer now, I go to speak to Clara to apologise but first I pour myself a glass of orange and then I go and sit down after she asked me to go and sit with her, so I did and then she started asking questions that I didn't want to answer. Clara asked me or said this to me, "We need to talk about things, namely things about me and Nina. Do you mind telling me why you don't want us to get married?"
I replied, "Because I don't want you to." Which is true, I didn't. The strange thing was, I said it very calmly. Because I was calm every emotion started to catch up with me after she asked me, "Why, there has to be a reason?" I then swallowed thickly and said without even looking at her, "I shouldn't have spoken to you the way I did, I should never have threatened you or anything...Mum, I'm scared." Which was true I was and still am, but another strange thing was, after all I have done to hurt her or said to her, I still called her ''Mum'' and she accepted it.
She came over to me and because I was crying she hugged me and said softly, "Don't be scared, you have nothing to be scared about. I said you always would be my daughter and I mean what I say." After that I felt a little reassured but not completely. Anyway I still hugged her back, I mean after all, all the stuff I did to her was out of order and I even said to her, "I shouldn't have laid a finger on you, never but I just don't like the idea...of you two being together and I don't want you to take it the wrong way." Nina, I knew didn't like that so I chose it as my opportunity to get out of there. Clara did say to me though before I left , "I would never take it the wrong way but that's how it is. I know how I would feel if I were in your position but we care for each other and that's all there is to it really, please try to understand." I just didn't and I don't think I will understand.
I did eventually stand up and said feeling really awkward, especially with Nina being there, "I should give you two space." Clara did try to stop me and told me as I was walking away, "Stay, please. Melody, this doesn't change anything between us, I'm still your mum." I slowly turned to her and swallowed thickly and replied, "Wish I could say that I was your daughter." And that's when I walked to my room and went to my bed and cried. I feel really lost and to top everything off, the Doctor at the hospital basically called her a bad mother, Therefore leaving her with a bad reputation, Clara if you're reading this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for all of this.
