REWRITING ENTIRE BOOK. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONSISTENCIES 

I WATCH THE DROPLETS OF RAIN that cascade down my window wishing I could be like it. Free from all my pain. From the human world.

"Danielle!" The shouts of my stepdad echos in the house as he calls out my name.

I couldn't help but think all he wants is my money.

"Sir!" I respond to him as I leave my bedroom to head to the kitchen where he usually is.

A dangerous place to be in with an addict, I know but I can't help it. If he comes to my room a repeat of my bad memories will happen.

I see him with my mother. It disgusts me to call her mother. After my father's death, she brought him into the house. His corpse hasn't turned cold yet.

"Give me money!" My stepdad shouts.

As expected all he wants is money.

"No," I reply standing firm.

"Danielle Moturayo Benson give your father money now!" My mom slurs. 8 am and she's already drunk, shocker.

" No. He asked for money last night and I gave him one hundred thousand nairas. Ask him what he did with it first then I'll consider giving him more money" I say to my mother as I roll my eyes.

"It's not your fault. Useless child" Derrick, my stepfather says.

I hate him so much. What does my mom even see in him!

He is always drunk, his breath stinks like onions and garlic had a baby, he has no ambition for his future. He doesn't even know Yoruba, my mom's language. Disadvantage if marrying outside your continent.

"Yes, baby it's not her fault. It's her stupid Dad's fault for leaving all his property in the hands of a sixteen years old child. It's because of that money she has a mouth. Nonsense." My mother says to me. I see she was only with my dad for his money.

She was always saying how much she loved him. What went wrong?

My parents were in a car crash, that's how my dad died. But my mother survived. Why?

She's still my mom but she has never shown me, love. Mostly because of my disease.

She expected her mixed child to look more like her but that was not the case. I look a lot like my dad.

With my light brown skin and green eyes, you would surely see the resemblance between the both of us.

Maybe she hated my dad and now is taking it out on me.

Still, that is not enough reason to take it out on an innocent child.

"You're still here! Get out of here my friend!" My mom shouts and I run back to my room and make sure the door is locked.

I Danielle Benson is living in hell and school is just as bad as home. Even after 18 years of being in the world nothing is good.

No love all I receive is hate. They call me half-caste, not fully black, not fully white, all sorts of name and it hurts. Even my teachers participate in name-calling.

Although my school is filled with white and black people they all hate me.

I hate being the center of attention but I can't help it.

It's either my eyes or my hair, either way, I want to be on the low for my last month of secondary school.

I hear loud footsteps heading to my room.

Gulp. Oh no!

I run to my secret hiding place and stay there.

My door is broken down by Derrick.

Here we go again.
