Waking up one morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on life 12 year old Faunet went to take a shower. She heard her dad start the car meanining he was going to work. Before Faunet could turn on the water she heard the sound of two cars collididing. Running outside she sees her fathers car it is ...... Well there is no acccrate discription of what laid before her eyes. She could hear her mother scream of terror but her mother did not move. Racing to the wreck Faunet screams out for her father he does not answer. Peering inside the car she sees her dad unconsciense. The shock of the event enables the police to move her away so they can treat her father. Hours later at the hospital the docter comes out and tells us hes alive our joy was short lived when he told us he was in acoma. And they had no clue as to when he would wake up. The family went home with heavy hearts that night.It was just when Faunet was getting ready for bed when she heard a thump coming from her mothers room. Curious she goes to investigate. On inspection she finds her mother sitting on the floor drinking heavy alcohol. Faunet never saw her mother drink before" mother are you all right" she stuttered." No im not its your fault what happened" her mothered slurred drunk from the alcohol. Not knowing how to react Faunet is frozen in place. The mother thinking Faunet is to blame beats her hits her. Faunet knew her mother was drunk but didnt understand the reason as to why he mother was hitting her. She began to belief that it was her some how her fault. For 6 years faunet went through this pattern finding her mother drunk then the mother beating her. But each time Faunet accepted the fact she had nothing to do with the accident and felt even more hurt by her mothers abuse. However all this changes the night she turned 18.
