Leaving my old life behind

Today was the day my mum would finally be laid to rest,I had shed my last tears the night before but seeing my mum being covered in s grave i just cried again although this time it was a tears of paying my last respect to her and me seeking for her support on my new life.

My dad saw me and wanted to hug me because all his friends and workers where gathered he wanted me to keep up the public farcade forgetting I had caught tie with him when I was called upon to give my speech I talked about my mum and ben they are the only relatives I have and told everyone I am not a member of this family henceforth I publicly put a stop to all ties while ben was crying telling me I didn't mean it I didn't even falter or get emotional .

I also stood in my mum grave and told everyone how I have suffered multiple rape from my supposed to be elder brother and how his father caught him but pushed the blame on me as I am a female and needed to always bear every blame.

After everything I met ben hugged him and gave him Rita's number for him to stay in touch with me whenever he wants

And my aunt set to return back everything was just like a dream to me but I knew I had to be up and doing now for myself at all cost.through out the journey every one was quiet I guess lost in our own thoughts ask was getting sleepy Julia let me rest my head on her laps I know she's being nice to me cause of my loss .

Fast forward>

we were finally going back to the school hostel ,immediately I went to school I walked to the principal office telling him am ready for the extra classes since I have made up my mind to write the exam ,he told me to take my time I shouldn't put myself into any form of pressure i guess he's pitying for me as my aunt told him I lost my mum I just simply smiled at him told him it was my choice and nobody can put me into any pressure anymore.

I left the principal office and was in my way to the assembly when maria saw me and said well look who is back at school the motherless child I didn't answer her and made to pass when she said I bet your mum brought badluck on herself the day she decided to birth you,at this moment I remembered when Julia said when people know you for something it becomes bad and I think am being known for keeping quiet I told her to shut up and when she proceeded to talk a gave her a slap with all my strength lol it was like I channelled all my anger into that one slap cause I saw my hand mark on her face that was when she started raising her voice to attract other student everybody was shocked and some was saying maria deserves it while others just looked at me in pity saying I had offended Ashley's sister I was now thinking maybe I over stepped my boundaries but on the assembly ground someone came to give me a piece of paper saying its from the school boss I opened it and "you really awed me I want to be seeing more of this from you stay healthy xoxo"I was reading it again and again how the hell did I manage to awe her I thought ashley was her friend so Maria equally is her responsibility...
