"well feel free to fall, Let's see how far you get without me." 1
All micca ever wanted was to do was get away.2
It's all she thought about. All she could ever think about.3
Lip gloss. Tight jeans. Tight shirts. Eye liner. Mascara. Mini skirts. These are the things that decide what "click" you are in when your in high school. Those and if your a cheerleader, nerd, jock, emo, goth, anorexic, or just quite. On the outside Micca was perfect. Beautiful, smart, a cheerleader, and had everything a girl could ever want.4
Until she got home.5
Drunk father. Guys she didn't even know in her room. Bruses that are hidden. Tears she can't deal with. This is what she got at home. Everything no one thought could happen to her... Happend.6
When she was thirteen something happend she would never forget for the rest of her life. 7
It was a rainy quite afternoon in the harrison house, witch was nice for Micca. But even though it was nice, it was strange. As Micca lay on her bed she thought to herself... why would the house be so quite? her father was gone, off getting drunk. (as most other days) And her mother was upstairs with her little sister. At the time Micca's mom was pregnent. 8
She stood up and decided to go and ask what was the plan for dinner. she was starting to get hungry.9
"Mom?" Micca shouted as walking up the long flight of stairs.10
"Mom?" she called again.11
"Mom?"12
"MOM?"13
she thought she had seen her little sister run across the hallway. but she was mistaking. She did see her little sister's hand hanging off the side of the top stair. She giggled.14
"Trying to scare me Jenny?" she said laughing.15
"It won't work when i can see your hand."16
As Micca got closer and closer to Her little sisters hand the more dark it looked. When she finally got to the top of the stairs she saw her sister laying on the ground. Dead. In a pile of blood. With a knife sticking out of her back.17
She screamed. An fell on the ground and cried for about thirty minutes. Then something occured to her. If her sister's dead... Where is her mother?18
She opened her mom's door. Looked in. And saw nothing and no one.19
"MOM?!"20
"MOM?!"21
"MOM?!"22
She went into the bathroom and saw a figure in the bath tub.23
"Mom?" she whispered with her voice shaking.24
For a while she didn't have courage to open the shower curtain. But when the time came she calmed down and opened it.25
Sitting in the bath tub was her mother.26
Dead.27
Her mom had killed Micca's sister, and then herself. She had cut her wrists with a razor blade she had plied out of her shaver.28
On the side of the counter she found a note. soaked in water. 29
On the note it Said: "Over fifteen years iv'e dealed with things that no one in their right mind would ever want to deal with. Things no one should ever have to deal with. I hated my life. Jenny was my favorite daughter, so i took her with me to hell. Micca wasn't what i wanted. She was the child that i wanted to abort but it was too late in my pregnancy to do so. I can't deal with more children. Iv'e left Micca here to burn in living hell with her father."30
Her mom had died. And so had her sister. Not to mention the fact that she was stuck with her father.31
For many years Micca had thought about suicide. She even used to overdose on pills and hope to god they would kill her when she was asleep. She used to cut her wrist to the point of where she couldn't get them to stop bleeding.32
Finally, she just gave up. 33
She was sick of her father beating her to a bloody pulp. She decided she was going to run away.34
As you can guess her father was not so good with this idea when he got home drunk as a skunk and she was gathering money packing a suitcase.35
"WHYA DOS YA THINK YAS CAN JUSTT LEAVE?" he screamed with slured language36
"I have to get out. i can't take it anymore." Micca answered back.37
"NAH YA'LL STAY WHEREZ I SAY." 38
"I'm leaving and i'm not coming back."39
Her father grabbed her arm and threw her on the ground.40
"I SAYS YOU STAY!"41
Micca got up and grabbed her bag.42
"I'm leaving even if it kills me."43
"WELL FINE! I DON'T NEED YOU."44
"well feel free to fall, Let's see how far you get without me." 45
IT'SZ YOUR FUCKING FAULT YOUR MOFTHER KILLED HERSELF. IF YOU WERN'T HERE SHE WOULD STILL BE HERE. AND YOUR LITTLE SISTAR TOO!"46
"Well i'm sorry i'm not perfect."47
Micca left that night. She held her word too... She never came back. Later on in life she found out her father died in a car accident from being intoxicated.48
On his will he wrote: "Give everything to Micca. She was the daughter that delt with all my bull shit. She was the only one i had, that i gave up on. I'm sorry Micca. I did love you. And that night is the one thing i wish would have never happend."49
Micca died when she was 94. She had everything a girl could ever want. And everything a girl could ever need.
