My Roommate

Rachael’s POV

Since when have my life turned to this, I wish mum didn’t die then Lisa and her mum wouldn’t have been in my life.

Since her mum married my dad she has made my life a living hell and they have managed to turn my dad against me that he also hates me and he supports them.

My dad blames me for the death of my mother sometimes I feel  like committing suicide my dad spank me anytime

I yell back at his wife or try to fight Lisa, am one year older than her but I allow her to treat me this way because of my dad anytime I reciprocated it will be deadly they won’t give me food for three days and my neighbour is the only saviour he gives me food when they abandon me sometimes I think if this is the loving father I know

when my mum was alive they don’t even let me make male friends because they think I will run away with some guy one day because my dad had a dream about it.

Can you imagine being living in bondage every single day sometimes when they starve me I will pray I should die but death is not just coming my way? The memory of my mum is the only thing that gives me comfort.

School is over I back my bag and everyone is already going home I eyed Tessy and her boyfriend Patrick I hide behind a student and they walk right past me holding hands. I can’t believe am going back to that house where am being treated as a house girl.

A car park and Lisa enter the car without me and it drove off. I have to walk home every day and when I go home late my step mum scold me.

I walk down the road slowly counting my step and singing as I walk down the road

“a place that I call home, is no longer a place I wish to be. With the up and downs in my life, I wish I can just run away run away run away from my home now run away run away from my trouble nowwww

I can’t sing at home because Lisa she has forbidden me from singing because she thinks I have a beautiful voice more than her. I compose songs out of my situation. I reach the gate of our house and walk inside and my step mum welcomes me with a sounding slap waking me from my imaginary world I fall on my knees.

“Why are you late when your sister has arrived home about an hour ago, don’t tell me you have started seeing a guy you slut go do the dishes she ranted

I quickly pick my bag from the floor and run to the kitchen to do the dishes while Lisa walks out of the house with her friends

“mum I am going out  she said perking her mum

“Alright dear don’t be late okay

Her private life.
