Authors note : hi whoever is reading this I have never actually written a book before so it's probs not very good anyway let me know what you think in the comments and have fun I guess 🙂(warning this book does involve domestic violence it may be disturbing for some readers)
Hi my name is Mina, i am 15 years old living in Collingwood, Melbourne , I'm fine I guess it's not that I'm unhappy I just wish things were different , I go to Collingwood state school but My only friends are my 5 siblings and my next door neighbors/ partner in crime , josh. My siblings are jean,lil, mark ,Megan and Liam they are really annoying so I spend most of my time with josh he goes to the boys schools a few blocks away so after school I jump the fence to his house
and we do our homework together , sometimes his boyfriend comes over and we skive off studying to play video games
But none of that matters
I guess you want to know about my parents
Well , they suck
I know that sounds awful but after 3 years of bruises it's all I can say
Sometimes I imagine a life like without the shouting and screaming
Without the hitting and hurting
Without the lonely and loveless
We can all hear it from the room we all share with two bunk beds doubles at the bottom
And we wonder will it ever stop?
One day lil kind little lil whose only 9 asked "Mimi are mummy and daddy cross because of us ? Can we fix them?"
I looked at her stunned "i-I don't know ? Maybe one day they'll be happy?"
I felt horrible saying this
She looked at me with her eyes like big brown saucers and I wondered how this perfect little flower sprung out if the battlefield that was our lives.
Thanks guys I hope you enjoyed it
