Nnena POV
My name is Nnena Michael .I'm sixteen years old fair in complexion and I'm not very tall but not petite either. I have dark Black hair and warm brown eyes.
My life is not what most children desire for or any child for that matter.
Having parents who does not nothing but gambling and drinking is certainly not what I wish for.
My parents never fails to remind me how much of a burden and a mistake I was to them.
All my parents care for is money . Not once had my parents took care of me like most parents do.
I lived with my grandma since I was a baby until she died when I was ten years old and started living with my parents. In all the years when I lived with my grandma ,my parents never came to visit me not even once.
I got to know who my parents are through pictures that my grandma showed me.
I do wonder why my parents never came to visit me, don't they love me . I do love my grandma but it was not the same as having your parents.
When my grandma died I was both happy and sad. Happy that I was finally going to live with my parents since they are the only family I got left .I was sad because I won't get to see my grandma anymore . she was a very kind woman , sweet and affectionate.
When I started living with my parents things changed . I was always left at home all alone with no one to talk to and most times without food.
Luckily our neighbors found out and fed me most of the time . She tried reporting them to the authority but they managed to get away with it.
My parents kept borrowing money from From one person to another which they won't be able to pay.
Growing up into my adolescent and puberty stage I never had a mother who was there to guide and advice me when I started noticing some weird changes around my body cause she was too busy gambling and drinking to even care.my dad is pretty much the same always drinking and borrowing money that he can't pay.
I could see remember the day I went into the bathroom to take a shower and saw blood in my panties,I was so scared that something bad happened to me that I ran outside in a panicked state. Our neighbor Mrs Williams asked me what was the matter ,I quickly told her what happened to me , she just smile and told me not to worry that it is a stage that occurs in every female life at certain stage. She took me to the supermarket and bought me some toiletries and sanitary pad.
It made me sad that it should be my mother doing all this for me instead of a stranger. Which made me miss my grandma all the more.
We keep moving from one place to another , cities ,town and villages because of the debt my parents own which they couldn't pay. That is why I never tried to get too attached to something or any place for that matter because no matter how beautiful the place is .
Any where my parents went they always borrow money and Running away without paying. There was a time my dad tries exchanging me for the debt he couldn't pay but luckily for me I managed to escape which made my parents furious and ran away from where we were staying at.
So as you can see my life is pretty messed up.
