CHAPTER TWO

My name is Annah Lourina and I am 23 years old. Crap, just me thinking about it makes me sick. Wanting a better life, wanting to be a nurse, have to work all day at the bakery just to get tips to pay up my classes and practices. Quiet impressive huh. Of course not. I just wish dad was alive and really loved me. It's been one year since the accident and I wish dad could really understand me. Who knows the accident wouldn't have happened. I think about it for a sec and the horror appears like flash lights in my head. I take in deep breaths as I tie up my long hair in the mirror. It was pretty wet so I had to wipe over and over till it got dried up a little. Oh my!, my eyes are getting so white. Do I lack blood?, well probably. I apply on my lips my red shiny gloss and then do some faint dark eye liner below my eyes. Am not a makeup fan. Wow, I love this glow so much. I admire my brown skin. " You deserve better Annah. You deserve happiness, love, money and affection". I mutter to myself as I look at myself in the mirror and admire my big ass in my skiny jeans and also the pretty grey top I was putting on. Pretty grey top huh, probably just so low class for me. Come on Annah stop it. I face palm as I walk out the room , after turning back once more to see all is in order. Everything is straight up. So I locked up and dash out .

"Mum, am leaving " . It's past 9am, gush I am late. I have to be at the bakery at 9:30am. Kneeding the dough and baking cakes and at thesame time attending to orders is what I do at CHILLY'S TASTY SNACK. Oh yeah, that's where I work.

"Mum"

"Yes baby, you going already?".

" Yes mum, I am. Please if you ain't feeling so well today, just stay back home and tell uncle Zack you won't be coming. You must not go clean today".

" But you know I have to Annah, You know how he is. If I miss he wont pay me so well and you know we need the money".

" I know mum, everything will be fine. I was thinking of taking double shifts but I can't cause I have to be in school by 4pm till 7pm. That's quiet tedious for me so get pretty tired". I face palm as I feel totally disappoinyed.

" it's ok honey. Everything is going to be fine right?". Mum smiles at me.

" Yes mum".

"Take care of yourself okay?".

"Yes mum, you too".

We hug and I walk out the door.

I have to walk a pretty long distance. Not too long but its quiet long for me though. I see how beautiful cars ride pass me ,I just look and imagine myself in it someday. "Oh God, please help me out". I mutter to myself. The wind is blowing so hard due to the rain in the early morning. It's quiet rainy season now but soon ending.I walk down the street patiently and hope to get to the bakery soon.
