"OPAL YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING   ORPHAN   HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I CALLED  YOU ARE YOU DEAF  ALONG WITH BEING A ORPHAN "

"I AM SORRY MOTHER  I WAS IN THE  GEESE PEN  THEY WERE TOO LOUD  SO I COULDN'T  HEAR YOU"

"EXCUSES EXCUSES  THAT'S ALL YOU EVER  DO THESE DAYS  I THINK ITS TIME WE NEED TO PUT YOU IN THE BASEMENT  AND CHAIN YOU UP FOR A FEW WEEKS  AND I MAY  NEED TO PUNISH YOU  ITS BEEN SO LONG  SINCE I HEARD  YOU  SCREAM"

"NO NO  PLEASE MOTHER NOT THE BASEMENT AND I BEG YOU   PLEASE DONT WHIP ME  NEXT TIME I PROMISE   TO ANSWER  YOU I BEG YOU (SOBS)"

" SHUT UP WITH THAT  UNBEARABLE  SNIFFLING   OR I WILL CHAIN YOU UP RIGHT NOW"

"NO MOTHER  I WILL STOP I PROMISE"

"GOOD NOW GO AND MAKE MY BREAKFAST  OPAL  AND IF ITS BURNED  I WILL BURN YOU  GOT IT "

I nodded and  went  to make mother and father   breakfast  being careful not to burn it because I knew if it was burned  then so was I  this lesson  I learned  years  ago and  though I attend school    my parents  still want me to.make dinner and  breakfast  and do laundry dusting  cleaning out the stable  picking up  goose   poop ect.

We lived on a farm  and  every job was my  responsibility  if I messed it up I was a goner  mum and dad  took credit for all  the things I  did and   they got  money  for my  efforts   mum and dad ran a breeding farm  so they would supply  other farms with calfs,foal,chicks of hen,geese,qual turkey ducks ect  I would be cleaning the  pens they were  in.

Because of my work at  home  I was failing  my subject at school and  way behind on assignments and  essays my teachers threatened to kick  me out  the head teacher  called my parents   and they blamed me  for just being a lazy teenager but they were at fault  the principle kicked me out and since then I have been doing chores on the farm and gettimg beaten if I did anything  wrong.

I had a few freinds angelica  was my first  freind  in school and Peter was  my  first crush   me and Peter used to flirt everyday  but  once mum found out I was hit  with  a  whip  and called degrading  names i ignored  them and found joy in  small things like rainfall,blooming  flowers,animal giving birth  and more after school kicked me out I bettered myself  and  began raising  super quality  animals.

My  efforts paid off when other farms we  supplied  gave us extra  payments   of course I never saw a penny of it  and  my parents  hid it in there safe  thst I knew the combination  of   and there were many days I  considered  taking money and leaving   there home  for good but I don't know how I will survive On the outside  of the farm.

Thats  why I  stopped my thoughts  in there tracks  because I knew without education  I wouldn't  get a good job   so I convinced  myself  that I would  live  here  on the farm forever and I would never find true  love  or a husband  and I would never experience motherhood due to a problem inside me  since I had no periods.

The thought made me sad and I kept my tears at bay untill I was alone where I would let the dam  break  free and my tears would  fall rapidly  i would  often  wish to die   but  something  always stopped me I would find comfort  watching movies   like  grease or  TV shows such as vampire diaries ,teen wolf,supernatural  and  other shows such as that  on my   seventeenth birthday  I wished on a falling star  for a fresh start .

My wish was simple  but it was from my heart because  after all the years of abuse and intense  labour I suffered  under my adoptive parents  inwas ready to find my own happiness  and I hoped God would help me.

The next morning  when I woke up  I got ready in my baggy  torn clothes  and I  began my  chores on the farm  my work started at 4 am I fed the animals  and cleaned  up  after them    I collected  eggs and placed them in  the incubator  then I   gave fresh  bedding  to the animal  I collected  water from the  well  to  give to the .animals  then I mowrd the lawn and harvested.the crops .

I separated the  grains .and vegetables  before  picking  fruit  then I  picked flowers  to hand to  old Mary Crawford  a  sweet  lady who owned  a  flower shop she was nice  and often gave me food  and  today after I dropped off the flowers  I was going to  leave  but Mary's granddaughter   Jessie stopped. Me and touched my  forehead  she gasped and then   took my  temperature   she looked  concerned and told me to wait  she said good bye to her grandmother  and walked  with Me home .

Jessie was angry  and when we got  to my family farm  Jessie called my  parents  out and began yelling at them

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE  HOW CAN YOU  STILL LET YOUR CHILD WORK.WITH SUCH A HIGH TEMPERATURE  SHES BURNING  UP AND  HER EYES LOOK PUFFY  DONT YOU HAVE A HEART"

I had never  heard   Jessie shout and  her defending  me made me happy but while she was yelling  at them   Eric and  Jacob of  next-door s farm   came out to see  what was happening  angelica  and  Peter. Also. Came out of there homes  and told Jessie and the neighbours  of how because of them  making me do all the work  I lost my place at school they also told Jessie of how during the  storm   I was forced to  stay outdoors   with no shelter.

Jessie was furious  and decided to call the police  and child services my adoptive  parents  got mad and  in front of everyone  they  pulled my  hair and began hitting me  with whips.
