The Truth

Let me tell you the truth, about a woman who lived a double life, not only to herself but too the world. Kaitlyn aka Kat was a junior in high school, going to school everyday living a normal life, or so everyone thought. 4 younger sister 2 older brothers a single mother and an absent father. Sounds like a normal situation right? Well it wasn’t, Kaityln was used to it just being her and her second oldest brother before her mother decided to have 4 more girls after her, which meant she had to grow up a little faster and got blamed and mistreated when things went wrong. Even when Kaityln tried her best nothing was ever good enough for her mother and her father (when he did come around) didn’t give a damn. Only thing he was good for was bossing her around and physically and mentally trying to break her down as best as he could. Of course Kaityln being the sensitive soul she was tried her best not to let it show, but every night she cried herself to sleep until her eyes were red and puffy and her throat swollen to the point that it hurt to swallow. She had no real friends, no family members around her age to talk to..no outlet. She could only talk to her grandmother to somewhat ease the pain but she never discussed too much. Only enough to relieve some of the inner pain for the moment. Everyone knows that those who smile and joke the most are usually the ones in the most pain, and that’s exactly who Kaityln was, the girl who made everybody laugh and smile, the class clown, the jokester, the most likely to be a comedian. But deep down inside that was only a front to mask the pain of bottled up emotions, to mask the thoughts of wanting to commit suicide, to make the pain of not ever being good enough TO ANYONE.

That was just a introduction to give you an insight on half the bullshit Kaityln has to deal with, what your about to read is where the pain that was so long kept inside finally came too light…

November 17,2017 was supposed to be another somewhat regular day living with younger siblings a somewhat emotionally unstable mother, and a sweet old grandmother. Kaitlyn and her siblings and mother had been staying at their grandmothers house for almost a year now on account of them being in the moving process and this was always the routine when moving (stay at grandmas until they found a place) Her mother was always doing chores around the house and her siblings were usually somewhere on their phones or running up another utility bill. Kaityln had spent most of her day helping her mother around the house with chores on account of nobody else was going to do it and their was nothing else to do. For the next hour and a half her and her mother had spent most of their time in the basement, her mother washing and drying and ironing clothes while Kaityln swept and mopped the basement floor. After her mother was done with her tasks she went upstairs to go change her clothes and get ready to leave out to go run errands, Kaitlyn decided to go outside with some of her siblings. 15 mins later her mother came out the house jumped into her van alone and drove off. But 5 mins later she pulled back up burning rubber and almost hitting a curb. Her mother jumped out the car pointed at Kaitlyn and said “YOU” with the most evil look in her eyes, she ran into the house and she could hear her yelling at her other siblings “Everybody outside right now”. Her other two siblings ran outside everyone confused on what was going on, her mother came outside and told everybody to get inside the garage so she could close it but not before two of her siblings slipped under the door while it was closing.

Inside is where the real horror began.
