Chapter 16
Audra Farley
From there, it went down the drain and it went fast.
I slept that night with worry my mother didn't appreciate all I did for our sake. My eyes had gone numb from crying so much and tears had wet the sheets beneath me. I found no reason why she valued the child. After all, it only caused us problems and pain. It was the reason why I forcefully stopped my education and why I had lost every hope and aspirations I had for the future. She was slowly dying each day she worked hours and I couldn't do a thing to help because I was scared of what people would think when they saw me working in an average coffee shop with my belly huge and swollen. I had gone physically and emotionally drained. I was too young to have a baby and as every day passed, it felt like the energy in my body was slowly fading away.
