I quietly rolled up the windows, even though my brown curly hair was sticking to my face due to sweat. It was a long drive and I didn’t say one word, I just looked down.
My cousins would give me the middle finger anytime my aunt or uncle didn’t look back, and my stepbrother couldn’t stop winking or licking is lips at me. Every five minutes he would breathe against the window and spell the word sexy, just to get my attention.
“Listen here Almelo, just because your parents died doesn’t make you special.” My uncle shouted.
“My names Amelia.” I replied back.
My uncle stopped the car and pulled over. He got out of the driver’s seat slammed his door, took my by the elbow and starting dragging me to the side of the road.
“Listen here Almelo, you never talk back to me you hear?” he shouted in my face. I shook my head silently.
“The only reason I took your sorry butt is because I’m the only one you have left.” He mocked. I sighed and let him finish.
“You better thank God you have these gorgeous blue eyes, and a nice body other than that, your nothing.”
My uncle gently stroked my face and walked me back to the car. Three more hours into the drive my uncle turned back to look at me and started to talk.
“You need to go to school; I think you’re like a freshman or something, AND you need to get a job, don’t worry I got you a job, you will babysit someone called Frankie Jonas.” My uncle shouted.
“Frankie Jonas.” I whispered.
“Shut up.” My uncle snapped.
“You will babysit five days a week, if you’re not babysitting you are doing homework or going to school, if not that you’re cleaning the house, if not that, you’re kissing my butt.” My aunt smirked.
Tears started going down my eyes, thinking about how perfect my life would be if I didn’t lose my mom and dad. My mom and dad are well known to everyone in the little town I use to live in. But a drunk driver took that all away from me.
“Do you want me to give you something to cry about?” My uncle asked.
“I didn’t answer.”
My uncle turned around to slap me. My stepbrother stepped in right no time, blocking the hit.
“Don’t hit her father, don’t forget we need her.” He whispered.
I studied everyone in the car and even knew their names by now. My two cousins were, Jessica and Merissa. Jessica, was blonde, she had highlights she wore tight clothes that showed her features. Merissa had red hair, she looked like the type of girl that would beat you up for looking at her wrong, and of course I was the prettiest, not to brag. My stepbrother was blonde he had blue eyes like I did; most people compare him to models and stuff.
My uncle and aunt, my nightmares, I don’t even know there name but their eyes are enough to make me go crazy.
******
I gently closed my eyes and went to sleep in the car.
“We’re here, get up.” My uncle yelled in my ear. He shook me so hard until I finally woke up.
Their house, well my house now was huge, they had a huge porch, 8 cars, and two pools a tennis and basket ball court, not to mention that was the outside, not even the inside.
My aunt gave me a tour of the house. “This is your room.” She whispered into my ear.
The room was like a dream room, it was pink, and had a long sheet over the bed that came down; it had beads all over the room, and posters of people on the wall.
“This is the smallest room in the house.” She finished. “The smaller things come to the less fortunate.”
“But they also have the bigger heart.” I replied back.
My aunt left the room angry that I talked back to her, yelling at my uncle to get me.
I looked around the room, memorizing everything in it. I gently lay down in bed and took my shirt off, just then my step brother walked in the room.
He pushed me down and started screaming at me, telling me I was unloved and so.
I got up from the floor and got dressed he silently left the room. I heard the whole family downstairs and went to join them.
“Where do you think you’re going” My uncle asked.
“I’m sitting down to have dinner.” I replied
“Back to your room, you think your high enough to sit next to us?” My aunt asked.
I went to bed hungry, but before I went to sleep I prayed, I asked God to bless the broken roads.

Do you like, Please review lol, I’m so excited! Please dont only put me in your favorites, review too :(
Sorry I’m so late guys AHHHHHHH, so sorry I’m hyper and tired at the same time, so bear with me lol.
I woke up and looked at the clock to my right, it was four in the morning and I knew my uncle wanted me to do my chores before school started at seven.
I gently got up and heard a strange sound coming from the bathroom, it was Jessica throwing up, and the tiny bump under her shirt told me she was pregnant.
“Jessica, are you pregnant?” I whispered.
“Now, it’s none of your business is it?” She sneered.
It was four in the morning and I was in no mood to fight, I grabbed my mop and mopped the whole floor, then I washed all the dirty dishes which I didn’t even get to eat from, vacuumed the floor, and fed the cats and dogs.
After feeding Jessy the cat, my uncle slapped me.
“Next time, make sure you cook breakfast for the family.” He shouted. I gently shook my head yes.
“Now you worthless piece of nothing go upstairs and get dressed for school, don’t even bother taking a shower and wasting our clean water.”
I ran upstairs knowing I only had five minutes to get ready for school.
“Looking for this?” my cousin asked.
Jessica threw my school clothes on the floor, turns out she made holes in all my outfits. I didn’t say a word, I just picked up the clothes from the floor and took them to my room.
I looked in the mirror and started to cry. “be strong.” I whispered to myself.
Flashback ****
“Your mom is not going to make it, the cancer has gotten too far.” The doctor shouted.
“No, you’re lying!” I shouted back.
My dad gently placed his hands on my back, and kissed my forehead.
“Daddy.” I whispered.
“It’s ok baby.” He replied.
End of Flashback****
I couldn’t take a shower, and I smelled bad, my cousin ripped all my clothes, my parents are dead, and no one cares.
I grabbed my back pack, my cousin got a ride in their cute car, and I had to stand in the rain to catch the school bus.
“Goodbye uncle.” I shouted.
“Don’t talk to me, and go outside to catch the bus.” He replied.
The weather outside reminded me of back home, the way the wind was blowing through my hair, the way my brown hair looked like chocolate, the way my blue eyes popped out.
I couldn’t get lost in my imagination because before I knew it the bus had come to pick me up.
I stared at the bus driver, trying to study him, maybe get a clue of what type of guy he was.
“You gonna stay out’ in this er rain here lil lady.” The bus driver asked.
“no.”
“well, then get on.”
I could tell I wasn’t going to like this bus driver.
I looked around inside the bus, most seats were taken, except for one, as I made my way to the seat, people started shouting comments at me.
“Ew, take a bath.”
“your ugly.”
“what planet are you from.”
I could tell, I will hate school, and my after school job at the Jonas’s doesn’t sound easy.
Guys, I’m like falling asleep right now lol, please review, sorry this chapter sucked L
