my toy
It My Toy I lied. I told her I had absolutely no idea where it was. However, I know exactly where my Aunt’s long plastic whip was at. Throughout my childhood my nightmares wouldn’t be about clowns or dreaming about not having a happy ending; it would be about my Aunt’s whip. Every time I did something wrong, I knew it was coming. It would hurt and burn, but somehow no one cared because they knew I deserved it. I live with my Aunt and her family, she adopted me after my parent divorced. Being the youngest child of my family seem very happy but really sucks. All the hopes and ambition does toward my bigger brother, Eli. Everyone was always proud of my brother no matter what. As for my other older sister, she is only five years older than me and she was the only girl member of the family (beside my Aunt). Of course everyone will spoil her and give her all the attention and love she needs. However, I was the child who was just always there. Whether it’s succeeding in school with high grade, doing all the house chores, or in fact doing the most work, I was just the person in everyone’s eyes who always there. But, whenever my siblings did something wrong it would be my fault. Nobody is going to question what happened it’s just always my fault. At least this is how it was in my family. When I was six, my god father gave me a dark redwood piano (before he pass away); the color was so red it was almost a maroon. My favorite collor. Nobody ever touched it except me. I couldn’t play the piano yet but I was constantly by it. I would either do my homework on it or just goofed around and play random notes causing loud obnoxious music making my Uncle in rage yelling at me to stop. It was my favorite childhood toy, It was my life. I never left it alone. One day, I had had enough. The endless pain of the stinging wounds that needed to stop. If not, my anger would simply rise and increase causing hatred toward my Auntie. So I hid it, I hid the

    I lived in 3 different houses till I moved out of my parents’ house. Every time we moved the house got bigger with a new addition to the family. Our last house was a 7 bedroom, 2-story house. I have 3 other siblings, Jodi who is 3 years younger, Jane who is 6 years younger and Jim who is 15 years younger than me and 2 dogs. I always thought both of my sisters were more talented, more pretty and smarter than I was and I never got to know my brother very well till later in life because of our large age difference. Both of my parents got a college education, and for women in that time that was rare. My dad, James Torrey worked in an insurance company, and he always felt distant to me. My mom, Hetty Bixby Torrey never really had a job but she joined a lots of committees and participated in volunteer work. Don’t forget she had to take care of me and my siblings too.…

    My father and mother later on separated and finalized that with a divorce. My mother later on found love and her wounds began healing. Even though she was getting better socially and emotionally, she still lived in constant fear and depression. She also had shame due to the incident. My mother very strong and is the pillar of our family. We always look up to her for very many things which make her the strongest person in our family. My brother took up the role and became the man of the house. He is always trying to fill our father’s shoes by doing all the chores that look manly enough. He also studies very hard in school so as not to disappoint my mother the way my father disappointed her. It puts a lot of pressure on him but in a good way since he turns negative feelings to positive work. Our youngest sister is the most affected one since she is slow with her school work and chores at home. She always expects someone, especially my mother to take care of her. Since my mother got a new job as an accountant, she hasn’t had time for her and it has been really hard on…

    When she took the bait she had gotten caught because a few days later they said that she was using counterfeit bills to buy her things. So the cops brought her to the station to question her. She said that she hadn’t known they were counterfeit and said she had gotten the money from me. That's when the plan backfired. The brought me in for questioning and I said that I hadn’t know they were counterfeits and that I just found them in the grass one day. The questioning had ended there but not for my parents. They ground into my sister for taking the money from me and then started grinding into me to figure out where I had gotten the money. I told them that I got it from a friend so I could use it as a way to get Meradith, my sister, to stop stealing money from me and from them. They said it was stupid of me to do that because she could have been arrested and kept in prison for a long time and they didn't want that to happen I told them I had done it for the greater good and they just scoffed and scowled at me. From that moment forward I haven't talked to my family or anybody since then because I didn't want to be punished for trying to do the right thing. I haven't spoken to anybody about it, not even Mr. Meany. I’m glad…

    “Never change who you are to please people”, “There is nothing you can’t do” and “We are proud of you no matter what” are three very common phrases used within a family. Parents especially use these (among many others) to teach their children to be comfortable with who they are so that it is easier for them to find their place in the world. Even when we are merely a thought, our parents begin planning our lives; what we should get out of it and what they need to do to help us reach our full potential. When we don’t understand what is happening, the fact that so much effort is put into us can be a frightening prospect; however our family consists of the people that will always be there. Our siblings are generally the people we trust more than anyone. We turn to them for assistance, advice and guidance and feel their absence both physically and emotionally. They are the ones we aspire to be like and arguably have the most impact on where we belong. Our family cannot be changed or replaced. You cannot give up on them because through the hardships and struggles, as well as the triumphs and successes, you will always be linked to them. There is no bond greater than that of a family and by accepting those around you, you accept yourself and build your identity from that unconditional love and unbreakable trust.…

    A long time ago, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, we were in the car when my dad saw a piano on the side of the road with a “free” sign on it. Dad thought my sister and I should have one, so he brought a bunch of his friends together and they brought it home. I became excited. The piano sounded way out of tune and the white paint was chipped, but it remained a beautiful instrument in my eyes. We cleaned it up and then moved it to the very end of the living room, where it remained for many years.…

    My mom never screamed at me before and when she screamed he blamed me for letting him go outside without his permission. One sunny day, we were remodeling the living room so it can be more babyproof now that my brother was taller and could walk and run perfectly. We left the door open because it was too cold in the living room. We were moving the couch as we told Andres to move over so we don’t locate the couch on his feet. We were so busy moving the furniture that we totally forgot the baby of the family was walking towards the door. When we put the couch in our desired spot, we noticed Andres walking toward the street. We ran after him as quickly as we could as we saw a car moving in Andres’s direction. My dad sprinted like a track and field athlete towards his baby and caught him right in time. All of a sudden, my mom turned to me and blamed me for this incident. I felt like my side of the story wasn’t considered when I explained she told me to help her with the couch and it was really Andres’s fault. She couldn’t believe I was blaming a baby so she sent me to my room. I ran to my room crying, feeling as if Andres was the favorite child and I wished that I never had a…

    She always wanted me to stay with her at her house and I went everywhere with her. When I was nine she took me to a circus. I had the privilege of riding an elephant while I was there. At first I was terrified, but once I finally boarded the elephant I lost all fear and realized that it was not necessary to be scared at all. After the ride was finished, we entered the arena and enjoyed the rest of the show. However, one day my mom woulkd not let me stay with her anymore. I was not even allowed to speak to her until I was older. My mom later told me the reason why she would not let me see her. My Aunt Lorena had a son who was the same age of me. He passed away when he was four years old because of a rare kidney disease. We were extremely close to one another that we were like brothers. Since we were so close and we were the same age my Aunt Lorena tried to steal me from my…

    The time had come for the darkness to take her away, as the wisps of glory that she had once known faded in a single flash of memories. The blade that was struck through forcibly into her abdomen was only a small cutting knife but, it was enough to inflict the pain only the past would know. Her skin would soon grow cold and pale because, the blood spilling from the multiple stab wounds was enough halt her heart from ever pumping again. I was only one room over, hunching and curling under the blankets in the crib as nothing ever happened. I was unaware of the atrocious monster that invaded my house and ruined whatever I had left in the way of a family. This fifteen years ago.…

    Speaking of my family I have three sisters and one brother not counting in-laws. My oldest sister Makayla is married to John. John’s cool because he likes to play basketball too. Now Christa just got married to Cory he's my favorite, no offense to John, but, Cory likes guns and hunting and as a bonus, he has a snowmobile. My older brother, Colin, is going to college to be an engineer, although I very often question his methods of doing things, I think he will do well. Colin and I get along pretty well because we share a lot of the same interests. My little sister, Kianna, on the other hand, I can’t say the same for. We don’t exactly get along. She is so spoiled and always gets what she wants. Someone else in my life that I pretty much consider family is Stasia. She’s dating my brother, but she is honestly at my house more than I am. She’s not too bad she buys me food and I give her…

    I am a girl of sixteen years and as many of you may think that I am obsessed with my privacy or living in seclusion you couldn’t be any more wrong. I love cuddling my mom and going out with my dad to places of my choice. But then again I get to do that only when my little brother or, as he is still treated baby brother is not around. Even into my teens, I love getting the attention of my parents but I daren’t ask any while he is in the vicinity. We are precisely five years and ten days apart and I used to think that he would be given the same love and affection for as long as I was for having a five year head start, but believe me even after ten years that gap doesn’t seem to bridge anytime in the near future.…
