Another

Well, this story i probily for older people. It was from when i liked to read those true stories about abuse and stuff. Anyway here it is, unfinished as them all but its a tad crazy. i was little :)

Sally and I are best friends. We do everything together; we see each other everyday of the week no matter what. We are pretty much together 24/7 we are pretty much sisters. The reason we are so tight is because she knows exactly what I’m going through in my life.

I am 7 years old, live in a dump of an apartment live with my horrible mother. She is never home she is always at the pub in town. I don’t have a father, I was an unexpected birth. My mother didn’t even know the name of the guy, and when she found out who he was he didn’t want anything to do with my mum and me. Mum lived in a poor family she had no money for an abortion she tells me every night that she wishes she had never had me. “You’re a waste of my space time and money”, she would tell me, not that we had any money. On some night she would come home with strange men that she had meet down at the pup and take them to her room, I would lie awake at night unable to sleep from all the noise coming from the other side of the wall. In the morning they would come out and the man would hand my mum some money. If it was enough the get us through the day she would be happy, and if it wasn’t she would get grumpy and I would have nothing to eat the whole day. But lately things have gotten really bad, there is this man who comes a lot, deep in the night he would come into my room while mum was sleeping. They would climb on my bed and cover my mouth with slimy hands. He would then pull down my blankets and pull up my nightgown. I would kick and scream but nothing helped, he was to strong for me. He would climb on me, pin me down while he slowly move one of his hands up my thigh. Suddenly his fingers were inside me, he told me to lie still and keep quite or my mother will wake and be mad at me. He uncovered my mouth and put it down his own pants, he just lay there for a while touching himself and me. After about 15 minutes he took out his hands and told me to undo his pants or he will wake mum. So I did. Many times this had happened to me, and when I told mum she got mad and told me to never lie to her again. But it stopped for a while, until I turned 14.
School life wasn’t much better; all the children teased me because I would always where the same cloths. Also I was a slow learner, I would come to school dirty, and I also cried a lot for a 7 year old. The only person who stuck by me and didn’t care about all that was Sally. She had a life like mine, you could even say she had a worse life than my own. We never spent much time at home, we would go to parks and playgrounds and talk and play till It got dark, then we would say our farewells our decide to spend the night out doors. On one particular day sally and me were going to go the park after school. But that day Sally wasn’t at school, and I started to get worried. This was not like Sally; she never missed a day of school without telling me, but I still stuck to our plan and went to the park. I waited there all afternoon, even when it started to get dark until I realized that she was not coming. For the next three days she was not there either. I went around to her house one day after school, I rang the doorbell but no one answered. I went around the back of the house to fine Sally sitting there crying, she had a dog collar around her neck that had a chain that was a attached to their fence. It turns out she had been there all that time, her father had come home drunk then beaten her black and blue pulled her outside by her hair and chained her there. That night we slept at the park. We cried all night.

A few weeks later I got the worst news in my life. Sally came to me at school and told me that her family were moving, she didn’t know where or how long for, all she new was that it was faraway and that they were leaving the next day. And there it was the worst thing that could happen, happened.
I have made some friends since then but never as close. I am now 14 years old, 7 years have gone by but it feels like forever.

Storyyy :)

Hey there,
So i found this story i wrote a while back on my nanas computer. Its not finished, but it was an idea i had. Anyway here is it;

Dancing is my life. Then I’m out there, in front of a crowd the music overwhelms me. It takes control of my body and I find myself moving to the beat. I have been dancing my hole life, but only got lessons when I turn 7 before then I would just tech my self, in secret. Dad was never one to let me dance; to him it was always a waste of time. He wanted the best life for me, made me focus on school to so I could be a doctor or veterinarian; nether was something I was ever interested in. it wasn’t till I was in a play at school and I was a twirling flower, I made up my own choreography the teachers liked it and used it. Mum was so pleased, but dad was disappointed. My older sister Claire, she’s 21, had just gotten accepted into a doctors school, She came over to have roast lamb, after my performance that’s when she broke the news. That night was supposed to be about me, But dad was just to proud. Since then my dad has never said a word to me about how proud of me he is, I cant even remember the last time he said he loved me. Well at the age of 7 I had told my mum that my passion was dancing, she accepted that a got me lessons, dad never did. On the parents night I would ask him to come watch, he never would. In a way It broke my heart, someone I love didn’t love me back, but dancing meant so much. When I went to my first class I just followed along, after just watching the routine once I had memorized almost the whole dance. I got moved in to higher classes, learning Jazz, hip-hop, and Ballet. After my first year I had 3 dance lessons a week for 2 hours each, plus every second week I would have a privet lesson. I meet a girl named Kelly we became friends. Most of the other girls didn’t like me, because I was 2 years younger then most of them and better at dancing, and they new it. It was a struggle, I loved dancing so much but these girls would totally ignore me and when they weren’t ignoring me they would be teasing my cloths, hair, name, being teaches pet and about me being so short. They would push and shove me, steal my things, one of them gave me a black eye, and another broke my finger. It was a horrible time for me. But still I would look forward to my classes.

Heyyyy!

Hi There,
It Has been A While, It is the end of school a whole year down and we are about to begin another. I have been thinking And I really want to contiune with this Blog, but i am actually going to use it. Well I am Actually Going to try and write interesting things.
I have no idea What i want to be when older, I want to go somthing i enjoy but somthing that pays well. I have always thought i would be somthing big, you know like an actor or singer or somthing like that. But it has only just hit me i cant act or sing. Thing i enjoy is writing, I love writing and thinking up stories. I have a great imagination, I think i got it When i was little, because you see my sister is 2 years older, and well we always used to play with our toys together and have fun games and it almost felt real, but she grew up and started reading books and would play games with me less. I Found it hard, i didnt understand how she would rather read! I was a poor reader then so it didnt interest me at all. So i would sit on the floor and play by myself. and after a while i just got used to it. Anyway i think it helped me alot. I really think alot of things. Also When i was younger i would write stories. and i was good, but i never finished any stories thats my problem. I would have a story ready to get down on paper but when i try to write it all trys to come out at once. And there is sooo many ways to write it. So many things you can make happen, its crazy if you think about it. I cant even get down al the things i want to say now. See How i have Changed the Subject so much. I really enjoy writing and my dad wants me to keep it up. but i just cant, I wont really be able to do anything with writing so yeah. And i get fed up with writing soon after i start. i do though Oneday hope to write a book. right now i cant even write a chapter. But i could do some great stuff, i think.

Well i will post any stories i write on here when i can
thanks

Dear Auckland Zoo I would like to apply for your zoo keeper advertisement in the newspaper. I think I am capable of this job because I have taken Science, biology, English and maths Exams. I love working with animals and I think it will be a good experience. I used to be a Vet and so I am very careful with animals. Seeing different animals seems like a great idea. I love the Zoo it’s a special place. When I was younger I spent all day nagging at my parents to take me to the Zoo. In the end it was to dark to go and it would be closed.

So I think this job will bring back all those memories of my child hood. I loved seeing all the animals and hope that I get this job.

Yours Sincerely
Stephanie Thompson
