The promise
Ember, it was my 7th birthday and mom and dad didn't call to wish me I was very upset I felt rejected, didn't know what to do. Ari and Ava came to celebrate with me as usual I wasn't happy.Why i my own different are they not my parents, why I'm I the last thing they care about.shr thought within her self. "Ember, she heard her name as Ava called her name, make a wish she said. Is there any need to make a wish, i mean it's always the same every year. Trust, soon it will be different.
I keep staring at my phone if mom or dad would call but no body called.11:30pm I heard my phone ringing, it was mom . My love, my angel, the apple of my eyes she called. Leave me alone, I replied. I know you're upset I'm really sorry got really busy with work but still thank God I called now. "Mom", do you love me, I'm i your daughter?she asked. Joan in trembling voice you know I love you, you know you mean the world to me. "Then why" , why can't I have just this one thing a home why . Ember daddy and I, we're working so hard so you don't suffer, we are working so hard so you don't beg, we are doing everything thing for your own good, so you will leave a good life and be happy, she was cut short by Ember. Happy! Do you know what makes me happy no you don't no. I have always wished for a home, a home where you, daddy and I would leave together as a big happy family but that's only my imagination because it won't come to pass so don't talk about my happiness okay.
Ember I love you, okay baby I promise you that on your 16th birthday we'll celebrate it together as one big family, I promise to put work aside and give all the attention to you okay so don't cry alright. I promise to go see a movie with you, i to the water park together I mean that day will be lots of fun. Alright mom I will look forward to that day she replied. Good night my angel.
