A Living Nightmare by Dawn Leagers (robert munsch read aloud txt) 📕

"That's not fair!" I blurted out in rage. "I don't care if it's fair. I am your mother and you will do as I say!" she yelled back in the same tone. "I refuse to go!" I screamed back but in a louder tone this time. Becka, my mother, took a deep breath in and slowly let it out to calm herself.

"I think this is best for you. So yes you are going and no you don't have a say in it." I stomped my feet in rage and ran up to my room and slammed my door loud enough that my mother could hear it. I throw myself on my bed and started to cry. I am leaving everything behind. My friends, my boyfriend, EVERYTHING. I was born and raised here and now she wants to move me in with my so called dad and my evil, nasty "step mom". I turned over on my fluffy purple comforter and pick up my IPhone 7 plus and called my boyfriend, Rider.

"Hey baby" I said when he answered. "Hey babe. Whats up?" he replied. "I need to talk to you. Be here to pick me up in 10, k?" I asked while walking over to my closet to get a pair of shoes out. "Okay babe.

Love ya bye" then he hung up. I walked into my walk in closet and pulled the string that turned on my light. I got a pair of black slip ons and walked out. I went over to my desk that I do all of my homework on and picked up my black leather purse and opened my top dresser drew and dug through it to find my pack of cigs. When I found them I shoved them in my purse along with my phone and walked out of my room and went down to the living room to watch out for Rider. Five minutes later he pulled up and I ran out the front door and hopped in. "Drive" I said and he stomped on the gas petal. "What's going on love?"

He asked while turning his head to look at me. "I'll explain once we go back to your house" I replied. A few seconds later my phone started to go off and it was my mother calling. "What?" I asked in an annoyed but demanded tone. "Where do you think you are going? You didn't ask to go anywhere and you have stuff to pack" she said. I hung up on her without saying anything.

"What is your mom talking about "you got stuff to pack"? he asked. "She is shipping me off to my dad house." "Babe you cant leave. That's not fair!" he wined. I pulled out a cig and put it up to my lips and lit it. "i kno---" and then I got cut off by my phone going off.

"It's my mother again" I notified Rider. "Aren't you gonna answer it?" "Nope" I replied while shutting off my phone. I moved closer to Rider and put my hand on his thigh. I looked over at his face and studied his features. He has the most perfect shaped face and a awesome sexy body to match. He has beautiful ocean blue eyes along with a six pack. He goes to the gym three times a week. He is 6'0 and I am 5'3. He looks over at me "you're gonna distract me and imma crash this truck babe if you keep staring at me with those hazel eyes" he says while we pull up to his house. "Looks like you didn't crash love" I said while my cheeks where red from blushing from his comment. I really don't know what he sees in me. Im not pretty and perfect like all of these other girls. I don't have breast or ass. He touched my inner thigh which broke my train of though. I kissed his soft pink lips and slide over to the door and opened it. "Ready?" I asked while getting out. "Always" he replied. We walked up to his house and he opened the front door and held it for me to walk in first. "I didn't see your parents car in the drive way babe" I said while turning around to look at him but he was already looking at me with lust in his eyes. "They are out of town. They went on a business trip and I didn't want to go so they left me behind" he said while wrapping his arms around my waste and pulling me closer to his body. "And how long will they be gone?" "A few day" he answered. "He leaned down and kissed me softly at first. He pulled me closer which depend the kiss and pick me up. He walked up his stairs and into his bedroom. He set me down on the bed not budging from the kiss. (You know what happened next so no need to get into detail).

I just got done packing but I still looked around to see if I got forgot anything. The only thing that was left was my bed and my dressers along with my night stand. A moving truck was coming later that day to pick up all the big stuff. I walked into my walk in closet and looked around and sure enough I didn’t forget anything. After I walked out of the closet I walked into my bathroom to check there to and of course I didn’t leave nothing behind. After I was done looking I walked out of the bathroom and sat down on my bed and picked up my phone. I went to Riders and I’s messages and sent him a text

-Hey baby.

I need to see you one last time. Im coming over. Be there in 10 k?”-

and I pressed send. I waited five mins and still no responds so I slipped on some back shoes and ran down stairs and out the front door. I jumped in the car and took off before my mom could say anything. I was about five minutes away and still no text back from Rider. I pulled up to his house and looked over to his drive way to check if he was home and sure enough he was. Thats weird why isn’t he texting me back. He must to asleep I thought to myself. I got out of the car and started to walk to his house when I was him in his room closing the blinds.

If he’s awake then why didn’t he answer me back I thought. I pulled my phone out of my purse and pressed the call button next to his name and let it ring. After a few rings it got sent to his voice mail. Wow now I’m mad. Why the fuck would be annoy me like that. I got to his door and knocked a few times but he didn’t answer. I texted him again saying that I was at his front door and I waited a few seconds to see if he would reply but sure enough he didn’t. I lifted up the flower pot that sat right next to his door that had a extra key to his house.

I put the key in the door and opened it. “Hello babe?” I hollered through the house. I stood there for a second for his respond but nothing. I walked up to his room and I was half way down the hall and I heard a females voice moaning come from inside his bedroom. I wanted to run out the from door and hope in the car and go home but I couldn’t move. I was frozen in shock. Then I heard Rider voice say “Oh jessie” my best friend.

I was so mad that should would betray me and sleep with my boyfriend. I walked up to his door and swung it open. I faced Jessi and screamed “YOU FUCKING WHORE.” Then I turned to Rider and in a scary, calm voice say “You are nothing better then your word bitch. Go to hell.” I put my hand up to smack Rider and he flenched but instead of smacking him my hand went to Jessi’s face. She put her hand up to her face in shock and walked out the door while flipping them off.

I went down the stairs and thats when I hear Jessi say “Ammy. Im sorry. Please talk to me.” I didn’t bother to say anything back. I just kept on walk down the stairs and out the door. When I was about to hope in the car I look over to Riders front door to see Rider looking at me with those ocean blue eyes. I couldn’t help but stair at him thinking about what we were and tears started to sting the back of my eyes. That’s when I jumped in the car and drop off.

I didn’t want him to see me crying I thought. When I was home I jumped out of the car and ran inside. I ran up the stairs and to my room. I ran to my bathroom and locked the door behind me. I just wanna be alone I thought. I started to reply Rider sleeping with Jessi and that made me cry even harder. That’s when I heard my bedroom do open and someone walk up to my bathroom door. Then there was a knock.

“GO AWAY. I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU GUYS” I hollered through the door. “It’s your mother” my mom said in a calm voice. I got up and swung to door open and jumped into my mothers arms. All I wanted to do at the point is hung my mom until all the pain was gone like she did when I was six and fell off my bike and she would kiss it to make it feel better. “I can’t believe they would do that do me” I mumbled. “I know sweetie. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better” she replied.

And that just made me cry even harder. After a few minutes of us standing here we heard a knock at the door. “Please go down there and tell them that I don’t anything to say to either of them” I asked. “Sure sweetie and while I’m down there Im going to make you some Chicken Noodle Soup” she replied. “Okay thank you ma’am.” Then she walked out the door and closed the door behind her but firs the turned around and gave me a half smile reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. I returned the smile and she walked out. I put my ear to the door to listen.

I heard her walk down the stairs and swing open the door. “What do you want?” My mother said in a grouchy voice. “I just wanted to stop
