And Our Break is Coming to a CLOSE!!:(

Well I would say it was fun while it lasted but I'd be lying. My break sucked I haven't done anything but go over my best friend's house like 3 times and that's it. Both of my parents work so I have to stay home with my bad brother and sister. Let me tell you its the worst! I'm happy when we get a break from school but I hate the fact of knowing that I have to stay home with these two worrisome children. I always have to clean up after them all the time, I yell at them but it doesn't work, I can't get work done or nothing because of them. And on top of all of that the break goes by so quick, its like if you close your eyes and open them back up its over. Now its SOL time, which means work work work. And boy do I hate SOL time its overwhelming. I think spring break should be extended for two weeks that way we all can have more time to relax and prepare ourselves for the hard work to come. My break wasn't all bad I got to sleep, eat and watch tv all day. My three most favorite things! The great part about Spring is that it gets warmer which means new clothes which means SHOPPING!!! LOL I love to shop its my most favorite hobby. Well that's my break hope you guys had a nice one!!

Tiffany

Tiffany was a very pretty girl when she was younger but then she got burned when she was 12. The burn covered half of her face because of that she never really had friends. She had one friend who had always been through the name calling, throwing objects, and being pranked on. Deedra always had Tiffany's back when ever anyone messed with her but when she wasn't around Tiffany had stand up for herself. So often times Tiffany got beat up and cried herself all the way home. When she got home it wasn't any better because her mother was a crackhead and hadn't been home in a year and her father abused her. Her father would beat her again until she would bleed. He felt if she ever got beaten in a fight and couldn't beat the person without getting bruises on her, that she couldn't fight. He didn't feed her especially when she got into a fight so often times Tiffany would have to look for food in alley's, trashcans or behind restaurants for food. Tiffany wouldn't go to school for months at a time because he had beaten her so bad. It had been a month since she had gone to school and Deedra was beginning to worry because she hadn't seen or heard from Tiffany. So one day after school Deedra decided to stop by her house to see how she was doing. As she walked up the creaking stairs to the house she could smell a stinky odor. She rang the doorbell and waited anxiously but received no answer. She waited a few moments until she decided to go into the house. Deedra opened the door and immediately saw all kinds of open containers of food and clothes everywhere in the house. The cabinets were empty, the sink was filled with unwashed dishes, and the refigerator was left open. All the food in the refrigerator had expired, which added to the stench throughout the house. Deedra called Tiffany's name over and over hoping that she would receive an answer but was unlucky. No one was there so Deedra began her way down the stairs. As she was coming down the stairs she heard someone come through the door. Excitingly she thought it would be Tiffany so she called her name as she ran down the stairs. To her surprise it wasn't Tiffany or her father it was Tiffany's mother. She hadn't seen her mother since they were little but was happy to see her even if she didn't remember her. Tiffany's mother was also shocked to see her as she begin to say, "You're not my daughter. Where is she?" "No, I'm not your daughter. And I don't know I was wondering the same, but I was just about to go look for her." Without replying Tiffany's mother headed out the door without a word and Deedra followed behind. They searched restaurants, parks, and all over the neighborhood to find her but still no luck. The search was over so they decided to go back to the house to see if she had returned. When they got to the house the rang the doorbell and knocked on the door. They decided to go in when there was no response. They walked around the house looking to see if she had returned. As they went up the stairs they could smell blood. There Tiffany was lying on the bathroom floor bleeding to death. Her face looked like someone had beaten her in the head, stomping her over and over. Tiffany's mom didn't know what to think because the one time she had come for Tiffany, she found her lying there helplessly dying. She immediately commanded Deedra to go get help as she held her Tiffany in her arms. Deedra ran to a neighbor's house and called the police. Five minutes later the police arrived by then it was to late. There Tiffany was still lying her mother's arms dead, while Tiffany's mother cried hysterically. Deedra tried to stay strong but found herself crying to the point where she couldn't open her eyes. She had to stop long enough to talked to the police about her best friend. She told them about her abusive father and how she was treated in school. After gathering evidence and taking Tiffany's body away they put out a warrant against Tiffany's father. Hours later they found him at a liquor store he tried to rob. After some questioning they found out that Tiffany had gone out to look for food and when her father got home she wasn't there. Worried she might have ran away he went looking for her and found her at a restaurant. He forced her home but Tiffany threatened that she would go to the cops and tell them what he would do to her. Tiffany's father didn't want to go to jail so he decided to kill her. He beat her until she bled and then ran off to rob a liquor store to get some money so he could run away with her body. After his confession he was sent to the electric chair. Tiffany's mother and Deedra were happy when they discovered this. Now it was time to put Tiffany to rest once and for all. With the help of Deedra's family, Tiffany's mother was able to give her daughter a nice funeral. Months had passed and Deedra and Tiffany's mother still stayed in touch with one another. Tiffany's mom had gotten some therapy and rehabilitation with the help of Deedra and her family. They both are very close and Deedra feels as though her best friend is still with her because her mom reminds her so much of Tiffany. They both miss her dearly and visits her grave once a month. Tiffany was fifteen years old when she died. She lived a tough life but now she's free.

Bestfriends

Friendships can be so complicated at times. I find myself always being the one getting hurt. I look back thinking of all the best friends I had. I've had about 6-8 best friends in my life. My first best friend will always be my best friend. We don't get to talk as much or see each other because I live here and she live in Ohio, but any time we get together we have fun. We continue where we left off as if I never left...I miss her so much. Then I had a best friend who lived like three doors down from me. We went to the same school, rode the same bus, and we always had fun. I used to go outside all the time with her. We even had our own little singing group and used to try and make up our own songs. It was fun but then she had moved and after while I heard she was spreading nasty rumors about me so my mom told her not to talk to me no more. Despite the drama that tore us apart I still have those great memories of us but I've grown up she's doing her thing and I'm doing mine. The funny thing is despite the drama and her moving she still has my house number. So whenever she comes back to visit she'll call me and come over just to say hi. It's weird because we really don't have much to talk about and I try to make the conversation not seem so awkward but it doesn't really help. Every time she comes its just so weird and I'm thinking like obviously she still really cares because I know if I moved away and hadn't seen someone in years I wouldn't come and visit them after all this time. It makes me laugh all the time because I've moved on and I don't really think of her but I think its nice she comes and visits. Anyway then when I got in middle school I became really close with this girl. We never hung out a lot outside of school but we were always together in school. We had a problem before which kind of changed our friendship a little bit. After that we weren't that close anymore but still talked to each other. Then we ended up going to the same high school, but then she moved so now she goes to a different school and I don't see her at all anymore. Even though were not as close and I don't see her anymore she loves me and I love her no matter what and we still keep in contact. Now I have my best friend Tam, are friendship is great. We went to the same middle school. We first started talking at the bus stop because we rode the same bus (this was sixth grade year). We never talked in school like that because we didn't have any classes together and we hung around different people, but we always talked on the bus and at the bus stop. Then seventh grade year we had become a little closer when she invited me to her birthday party. It was always me, her and this other girl. We were like the three amigos. Her and the other girl were closer but then Tam and I drifted apart from the other girl and started hanging out more. The other girl began talking about us and she was just acting funny. So Tam and I stopped talking to her. Even though we go to different high schools now we still make time for each other on the weekends and we talk on the phone like everyday. The thing I like about her is that she's very funny and she always keeps it real. Most people don't like her but they don't know her like that so they don't know what she's like for real. She's very outgoing so even though many don't like her, many love her as well. She's real cool and just fun to be around, she can be very loud and opinionated but I love that about her. She's like a big sister, she's my partner in crime, and I love her to death!
