I was damaged for life. There was a knock on the door, but we were all up in the tree house. "Hello children?" "Holy shit guys that's my mom!" said Charlie. Charlie opened the door and went down the ladder and talked to his mom. As I listened out the window, I looked out the window and saw a long black limo, the first limo I ever saw. We listened and his mom told him about his grandfather being sick. He climbed up the ladder shooing his mom away. "Damn, Carl I try to get through to that boy, he just plain hates us I guess." His parents really tried to love the boy, but he was a stubborn ass and hated them no matter what they did. " Damn she is so annoying!" "Thinking that she can come to our tree house!" "Well , Charlie, maybe you should try being nicer to your mom, then she wouldn't have to bug you!" I said, I surprised my self it just kind of came out unexpectedly. "You should of heard her down there ,Charlie!" He just stared at me like I was a freak or something. I don't think anyone had stuck up to him or proved him wrong. "Hey, Mel, you shut your mouth you don't even know what having a real mother is!" He said as he turned around and started playing truth or dare. "God damn it ,Charlie, at least you have someone who provides food, who provides shelter and clothes!!" "You know ,Charlie, I kinda feel sorry for your poor mother, losing one kid then losing her last."
Charlie's older sister ,Kaleen, died last year and his mother was devastated, then she totally lost Charlie some where along there. He looked so stunned. "Hey you two don't get in any fight up here." said Chris sticking up for me and his best friend. I knew I would never be over what he said to me is true I really don't have any parents or love in my life I have Chris and only Chris. He loved me. My friends loved each other and me , but it wasn't the comfort I wanted or needed. I needed a family! Well Charlie and I got over it. I decided that I wanted to get out of the tree house. So when everyone left, I went home to get some close and avoid my mom as much as I can. I walked down the road with my head held high. I figure that my mom wouldn't be home since it was time for her to go partying. I looked around and saw little children playing baseball with their fathers and mothers sitting on the porches making lemonade and serving it and hugging there children. "Hey ,Mel!" I wisped around to see Joey running up the street. "Yeah?" "What are you doing out?" "I wanna see my house and anything besides that stupid tree house!" "Oh" She said as she walked me to my house. "Hey ,Joey?" "Yeah?" "Maybe you should stay out here!" She looked at me with pleading eyes. "Never mind." I said with a sigh. I climbed up the ladder to my room and went in and locked my door. "Come in ,Joey," I whispered as I signaled for her to climb in the window. I heard something out in the hallway, It sounded like my mom and a man. "Joey, I hear something do you?" "Yeah." she whispered trying to be quiet. She sat down on my bed. I place my ear on the wooden door and listened. "Come on Rache." "No Tom I won't!" "Just once." "Tom I'm worried about, Mel!" I could tell my mom was pacing and biting her fingernails as she talked to the strange man. "I don't mean to be drunk! I just want my little girl back." I felt my pain going away as I heard the words come out of my moms mouth. "Damn it ,Rache, I came for a good night and you want to bitch over a stupid kid!" "But- But she's my daughter." "Well you never seemed to care before!" "Well I did, it's just!" "Just nothing, Bitch you lost your chance with me I'm outta here." I heard my mother fall to the floor with tears. I unlocked the door. I stood in the door way with tears coming down my face as I watched her cry. Joey sat on the bed and just watched with surprise. "Momma?" She looked up and smiled with tears on her cheek. "Oh god!" She said as she got up and then she hugged and kissed me for the first time ever in my life I got a kiss and a hug from my mother. "Mel, please forgive me?" I thought why should I, I've been living with my boyfriend and my friends for a long time why should I come back and forgive her for beating me to death.
"Yes Momma I forgive you!" I said as she brought me in for a long hug. "Mel, I'm so sorry." She said as we slumped to the floor hugging and reconnecting for fourteen years of family life lost.
