" you're only a teen, you dont know what love is . stop being ignorant . suck it up, i'm tired of seeing you cry . you dont know anything about hardships . just stop it, i dont have time for any of your nonsense . "

she looked up into the face of the woman who was supposed to be her mentor, her rock on which to lean on . she looked up into the face of her mother . her tearful gaze was returned with a hard glare . those stony eyes, that could chase away a storm . Dear Mommy, why can't you understand ?



" what ? you want to stop working ? you've just been working for me for about ... 2 or 3 weeks ! stress ?! you're a teen, all you do is play, you have no idea what stress is ! no, i refuse to let you take time off, i dont care what you say . and i plan on telling your mother so she can do something about your irresponsible behavior "

she listened to the words of the lady that had used to be the one who had offered her a source of comfort and love . she listened to the words of her cousin . the one who had once loved her endlessly and sheltered her from any physical and emotional hurt . the one whose words now bit at her heart with a vengeance . Dear Cousin, what happened ?




" you dont love me do you ? i'm supposed to be your dad, so how come i'm your last prioriety . all i ask is that you call me once a week . i may be dead for all i care, and you wouldnt even know . what is wrong with you ? i'm your DAD for goodness sake "

she absorbed her father's heavy words . her eyes brimming with tears that were afraid to show . she did love her father, didnt he understand ? it was just hard to show him how she felt, seeing as for the past 15 years, he wasnt exactly always there for her . Dear Daddy, dont you love me ? i'm your DAUGHTER for goodness sake ... start caring about me instead of those women you play around with every night .




" sorry honey, but i had to send my son away for a few months . i know its hard on you, but trust me, its hard for me too . you're only his girlfriend, i'm his mother, i know whats best . if you truly love him, you'd understand, and you'd know this is for the better . he'll be back in a year or so ''

and with that last bit of information, she decided ...

that's the final straw .


and they all say, " we never saw it coming "
