My, my look at the time, it's been almost a year hasn't it?


Tammi couldn't believe her eyes. She was fighting with Anthony yet again, this time over the internet. The boy that she had the most desperate crush on had just threatened her life. Not directly of course, but a slam poet about beating his girlfriend to death and saying it would happen to her was enough. Her aunt walked behind her and read her screen.

"Delete him. Now" Her aunt gained an instant protective air.

"Auntie it's fine," Tammi whined, moving her hand away from the mouse.

"No it's not! Delete that little boy or I'll do it for you," The fierce stare from her aunt made Tammi hurry to delete the person she almost had feelings for.

"Don't ever let me hear his name and you'd better stay away from him you hear me?"

"Yes ma'm," Tammi whimpered, crestfallen.

"You better not be upset!" Her aunt's eyes were wide with anger.

Tammi straightened her back. "No ma'm!" she squeaked.

"Better not be," With that, her aunt retreated back to her room.

I just had to be spending the weekend with Auntie Dean, right?

Despite the bitter thoughts, she knew her aunt only wanted the best for her and was furious that anyone would threaten anyone in her family.

Why does he treat me like this? Do I deserve this? Was I born to be bitter, angry, loveless? Was I born to be a hollow shell incapable of being loved?

She didn't think so.


I know it's short but how'd I do after a almost a year gone?
