Chapter 1

Becca! have you packed your bags yet?" "Yeah" i said with absolutely no feeling in my voice. Mum came into my room and leaned against the door watching me. I stared right back at her. She knew what I wanted . I wanted her to cave in and say it's just a joke I'm not moving but didn't. She just stared right back at me. I'd rather live in poverty with my mom rather than live with my dad who abandoned me for no reason I'm aware of. Mom finally moved and sat next to me

"Rebecca you know I ain't got no money and I can't just sit here whilst my child is starving" "But mom I'm not starving, besides what about our savings we can last for a few months by then you'd probably be back on your feet"

"I'm sorry dear but no " "What if w- I was cut off by mom "Rebecca can you just listen to me for once. You're going to live with your Dad and that's final!" I flinched when she yelled at me. She rubbed her temple. She was so stressed from looking for jobs. I've tried so many ways to convince her but it's always a NO.

We both know she wants me to leave because she's on the edge of breaking down. She lost her job as an accountant because her boss wanted his daughter to have her job. It took all my will power to not go and kick him in the balls ( hard!). I mean seriously that's messed up and now mum had no other option but to get in touch with Dad and ask him (ok maybe more like beg and cry) to take me in. It took a lot and I mean a lot of begging to get Dad to give in as long I leave his place in six months.

What kinda father makes a bargain like that? As far as I know I should be the one acting bratty. I'm going to live with an inconsiderate man damnit.For a strange reason Dad has always been insensitive towards me. I've only met the man like thrice in my life so I'm literally moving in with a stranger.

Even during those times I met him he always gazed down on me like some kind of monster who was a mistake to come into this world. Mom seemed to notice that I was lost my thoughts. She sighed"Don't make this difficult than it already is" She looked at me with pleading eyes. I looked at my loving caring mom who wanted me to have the best life. Little did she know that having my best life means being with her. She is the perfect definition of home and love.

I realized I had to be strong for her so took my luggage and without a word went out of the house. I stopped and turned around, mom was watching me. Before I knew it, she pulled me into a hug. "Be strong my princess. Don't let anyone take advantage of you, you hear me" I nodded . As I pulled away I saw tears threatening to spill out her eyes.

Shit! I've never seen her cry . She was my brave and independent woman. My beautiful mom. I hugged her back. "I love you mom" "I love you too" "Trust me mom I'll be strong since I'm gonna be moving in with the devil himself"
