Her father didn't want her anymore. It was as simple as that. So he did the most sensible thing a depressed drunk could do. Which at the time Marie didn't know or understand; but it was about the best thing he could ever possibly do for her. Instead of slipping into outright rage he picked her up. Threw her over his shoulder, tossed her in the old rusty truck and drove off.
Sitting silently Marie longingly watched her home shrink further and further behind her with ever turn down the twisted dirt road. Beyond tears at this point all she could do was wait for things to unfold before her, helpless as it was it seemed to work, watching the same scenery roll on till as far as her saucer sized eyes could see. Only the clapping of thunder once in awhile, interrupted her trance causing her to jump nervously, sometimes even earning a long hard look from her father, the man who was currently in charge of her future, what ever that may be.
Teeth chattering; so cold it penetrated her very bones causing her to tremble tremendously. At a certain point she couldn't even feel her arms or legs let alone close her eyes. It was almost a hopeless cause. Marie had to face the facts she had been huddled on the side of the highway for hours and yet very few people came by. Each time when she tried to stop them, waving her short arms for attention, the car merely beeped and soared on by. The passengers not even taking a second glance, to look back at the poor girl.
With her eyes pasted open, the reality of her situation became much clearer to her, it seemed she was even more helpless then she was hours previously, when her father jerked the truck to the side of the road and practically threw her out. Disdain clearly shining through his eyes, maybe even mixed with some pity and sadness. But how could she tell? He barely looked at her for at the most 10 whole seconds.
In the matter of days Marie went from being both her mother and father's pride and joy (their whole life) to nothing. Not even worth the tiniest bit of his time. She was suddenly stripped not only of her value in life but the only love she'd ever known.
After all her mother was forever dead and her father seemed to be, heading in the same exact direction. That day was not only the same day Marie lost the remainder of her family, all the love she'd ever known, but the day she took her life in her hands by erasing everything from her memory bit by bit till their was nothing left but emptiness.
