I should have forgiven him. Why didn’t I just forgive him? I’ve only been hurt a few times in my life and those were bad enough. I promised myself after my parents hurt me time after time. Never again. Lesson learned. Like that old saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I mean, they were loser parents only looking for a score or a fix.

I was seven when they left me at school and ‘forgot’ to come pick me up. How you can forget you have a child at school is beyond me. When I babysat neighbor kids in my teens, I had managed to save up about two grand. I figured I could either use it for Drivers Ed and then the rest as a down payment on a car or buy a used one. Whichever came first. Well, I didn't have a bank account, that would have required asking my parents for help and when I had, they said I didn't need one. I could just stash the money in a safe place. I did and when I got the job at Chili’s, I had decided to go get a used car. I saw one that was 1,500 dollars and in good but rusty condition. I went for my money, only to find it was all gone. When I confronted them they just told me I didn't need so much money. What was I going to do with all that? I learned they used it on weed.

I made sure I got a bank account when I got a job and my first paycheck. I had to search for my social security card, and I found my birth certificate and shot record with it, and I took them all. They didn't need them. Along with the savings and checking account, I got a safety deposit box that I placed those documents in. I might feel somewhat obligated and responsible for my folks, but they weren't going to ruin my future.

I had one friend, Bailey, who grew up next to me, in the same rundown neighborhood. We had been best friends all the way up until sophomore year in high school. I had crushed on a boy, Dylan, who had been really nice to me over the last few years. He was a year older than me and I was too shy to ask him out or even talk to him.

Well, Bailey was the exact opposite of me. She went up to him and they ended up together. Not for long, but still. She knew I had a crush on him, that I wanted to talk to him. He said hi to me and had always been sweet to me. When Bailey got her claws into him, no more Mr. Nice Guy. And that’s when she started acting all snarky and snippy with me. As if I grew two horns and a mole on my nose. She began treating me like I was dirt.
