A Drop In The Ocean

Chapter 1

“I wish you and your sister were never born.”“You both ruined my life and I hate you!”I, Olivia Phillips could hear the slurring cold voice of my mother, yelling out to me from the dining room where she was stark drunk with empty beer bottles lying all over the floor of our little three bedroomed cottage house.I was now in the kitchen preparing my lunch box. I could not afford to buy cafeteria food so had to cook my own food at home to carry for school. As for the little cottage we lived in, it was paid through my dead father`s pension money."You are a worthless brat!"Tears were now falling down my face as I heard what my mother was yelling out to me. It was the same thing every morning and even though I was used to it, sometimes the words pierced deeply into my heart.Hearing your own mother yell out that she regretted having you and thought you were a mistake, truly hurt to hear even if the person was drunk.
