Taking back my plwer
Melina watched Scarlett as she waited for her to be away from the other girls as she wouldn't have help . If she would have started the fight with Scarlett around others they would all jump on Melina since she had no alliances. She worked on her fighting with the hunter and watched Scarlett . She was going to get Scarlett to leave her alone.
Scarlet came outside and looked around as she started to gather mud from the base of a stump as she made a pile as she was up to no good probably meant for Melina as the work crew was due to come out any minute. Scarlett knew Melina was usually the first one to show up for the crew before everyone else to wait for assignments as the other girls would doddle along and take their time.
Scarlett smiled as she prepared her trap but Melina was hiding in the garden between the corn stocks. Melina knew Scarlett was waiting for her to do something incredibly hanious as she was her roommate . As Scarlett sat squatted in the mud pile she made as she was making lose mud balls looking at the back door. Melina ran and pushed Scarlett in the mud as she slid face first in the mud. Scarlet jumped up as she looked around and saw Melina. She ran towards Melina as she remembered the hunter tell her let them do all the work as she stepped aside and she ran and fell on the ground.
Scarlett got up and screamed as the other girls started to come out now and that's when melena balled up her fist and punched her in the face as Scarlett screamed in pain. The other girls looked at Scarlett covered in mud and Melina not touched as Scarlett saw the other girls come out.
" Look what she did to me." Cried Scarlett as no one moved . Then she ran past Melina as she grabbed her hair and dragged her through the mud as all the girls began to laugh. Scarlett became so embarrassed she layed on the ground crying.
She didn't want to fight Scarlett but she had to get her to stop bullying her and the only language the group home knew was strength and meaness. The only way to get them to leave her alone was to become mean like them. She had to show them she wasn't weak.
Scarlett was reassigned to another room after the fight and Melina got a spanking for the second time that week but this one was worth the punishment.
During the summer when the group home didn't go to Gulf shores the girls who had no where to go would be sent to temporary homes and possible new placement and rehoming. The groop home was never meant to be long term but until we could be adopted or rejomes somewhere else like we came from the pound or something.
This summer my sister and I were to visit a family that had three daughters already. The dad of the house showed up as he was in a muscle car and when we pulled up to the house it was ran down and the yard was littered with toys and broken furniture. The house had one neighbor and there was no grass outside as the ground was dirt.
The mom didn't cook and every night it was Bennie wennies in a can or spegettios was our dinner options with one slice of bread. During the day the dad worked and the kids were kicked outside as we ran rabbit all over the neighborhood unsupervised as she sat inside watching TV and folding laundry but no one ever to seemed to have clean clothes . When the dad came home he resemble my father as it gave me shivers to look at him and Paula ran to him like he was our actual dad. I usually played with one of the daughters and stayed away from the other two girls. I was there a entire summer and only remembered taking one bath as all is girls slept in one bed. The house has only two rooms and the mom and dad would feed us at six at night and sent us to bed until breakfast which was either dry cereal or bread since they never had milk in the refrigerator.
I really didn't like this home placement because I was in a room full of girls and all of our head and bodies itches. When we found out we had bed bugs and head lice they blamed it on us bringing life into their filthy home that was barely clean and always stank of canned soups . Paula was very upset with me when the social worker came to get us from this place when I asked the mom to call my social worker as she thought I was a brat.
I just didn't feel safe in that home and the house didn't feel right as the mom never watched us and she always ate dinner in the living room alone and not with the children and at night the reason why we weren't allowed to get up was because they would leave us home at night as they went out. I woke up one night thirsty and went to the kitchen as the trash was full of old cans and the same laundry pile that the mom kept folding and never putting it up. We never saw her wash clothes and all of us shared one bathroom.
When we drove away from the home Paula actually liked she became sad and I knew she wanted to stay there but I already saw our life there . We weren't going to be taken care of and all they were doing is collecting a paycheck. The mom constantly complained about it was too much for her to do with their girls they already had . She looked always depressed and didn't want to do anything other than eat snacks in front of the television that never seemed to shared .
That house wouldn't have done anything but put us back in another situation to be neglected. When I came back to the group home to took a long shower as the only time we washed there was when we were getting treated for head lice. It made no sense to me how we have them head lice when we were all in the house and never went anywhere.
When I the lice got better and I was able to make it to the stables to get some alone time . I used to hide in the brushing stables when I wanted to be alone. I came out to see Angel as she walked up to me and I touched her head with my hand and she breathing softly on me. She looked like an magnificent unicorn to me like the fairy tails as I wanted to try something as I threw a heavy weighted mats they used between saddles on angels back and I tied a rope around her neck as I climbed on her back as I moved her to a gate where I can use the gate as a ladder to mount her.
Angel waited till I was on and she began to move as I held the rope. We walked around for a few minutes before she stopped to graze as I layed on her back as as we just sat in silence. That day I figured out she never been ridden with a saddle as she was still a little bit skinny as he ribs showed a little from her refusing to eat from Scarlett. I lead her back to the stables as I filled up her bucket of sweet feed and she ate three buckets before I gave her hay and filled up her water barrel.
Then it was time to go home as I felt like I made a friend in angel that day.
