Tiana's POV
"Come back here you useless child!"There she was screaming on top of her voice once again this is not a new thing for me but it still hurts me all the time.
"Yes mom" I answered indifferently."Don't you ever walk out on me while I'm talking to you"
"But mom you know I can never follow you anywhere I won't go with you no matter what you say to me" I seethed angrily I felt so helpless yet again I have never raised my voice at my mother before but today was made to be an exception I felt the need to shout my feelings out,she needed to know how i was feeling, Suddenly I felt a light sting on my right cheek I didn't quite know what had happened but it happened really fast and then I realized my mother slapped me this is definitely not the first time she is hitting me. But It ripped me apart every single time, it was totally like I wasn't related to my so called mother. "You don't talk to me in such a manner I'm your mother not your servant" really!! wow mother indeed I rolled my eyes mentally. She is my mother but also the one responsible for all my pains I felt numb.
"Now listen here you will go with me by hook or crook" She spat pointing her index finger directly at me,I heard her heels clicking immediately it came in contact with the tiles,that indicated her departure. I also left for my room immediately I shut the door as and tried to cry but surprisingly nothing like tears dropped from my eyes,I was out of tears you might call it but I've cried a lot in my life. Why just why can't I be happy for once in my life ? I asked rhetorically
I fell asleep unknowingly on my bed covered in yellow and black silk bed spread at least I knew I'd have some peace by being away from reality for a while.
......................
Next morning...
I woke up with a pounding headache. yeah! Maybe it was a really really bad idea to use my favourite song as the alarm ringtone cause the song annoys me right now. I literally thought it would make my mornings more meaningful but Nope! I was terribly wrong all it does is make my mornings cranky,so I'm gonna change it.I straddled out of the bed lazily and switched the alarm clock off.
I walked into my en suite and did my normal routine at least my mother didn't deprive me of basic neccesities,she probably doesn't want me to look unpresentable and ugly in front of her friends and fans. So she got me everything I'll ever need,seems she doesn't care about anything other than her career reputation and blah blah blah."I can never let you look so out of place in the midst of the people who think of me as a perfect woman" yes indeed a perfect woman who doesn't care about her own daughter, whenever she said that I always feel my heart breaking into pieces,but I had no choice but to comply or I'll face her wrath,you would think that she would scream at me or slap me a little and I'll start tearing up,that is not it at all she would ground me for one month and not let me see anyone from the outside world i didn't have any friends but at least I had my freedom and some fresh air. I mean even Cinderella had it better it was her stepmom that was evil no her mom,I won't say she is evil but she doesn't act like she isn't. I have never asked myself if I still love her despite all the things she had done to me.
I cleared my head of all the bad thoughts and tried to stay positive not like that will help. I started getting ready for school as I stared at myself in the mirror and when I saw my glowing emerald green eyes it reminded me of my father I had eyes just like his they were emerald green and I bet they are even look better than mine. I miss him a lot he was so loving,caring and everything I wanted in a father,but he is gone.
I'm always complemented on how pretty I look and how I have a beautiful figure and so on.I had a nice face with round eyes and emerald green eyes,long lashes that made all other females jealous and full round lips,with long black hair flowing down my waist,not too tall or short just 5'2 not bad at all right? I have a petite body structure and nice full hips with an average boob size but I had a nice butt (no pun intended).My stomach was not flat but not big,all I have to do is avoid being bloated everything about me was physically okay but not mentally I have issues to deal with every single day of my life.
I got ready for school by 6:35 and rushed downstairs to have breakfast,I definitely knew that my mother wouldn't be there so I'll have whatever Sarah makes, she is our house help but she is just like a mother to me I like her alot her ability to understand one's pain is exceptional she always tries to cheer me up when I had trouble with my mom but yesterday she was on leave and she came back in the morning. I got downstairs to meet a familiar figure standing at the kitchen counter I couldn't quite make something out of it,it wasn't facing me. I walked closer to get a better view she noticed my steps and turned around . It was ..... It was ....
