2A Chapter by Amy CowanThis all started after my
mother died, it was in our house. In the only place I thought was safe. It
turns out it wasn't safe at all. I did everything I could to protect my mother
but I couldn't hold them back. They were too strong. My mother was a brilliant
person, the nicest person you would ever meet. She treated me like a friend
whereas everyone else avoided me. I liked it this way as the only thing I
needed was my mum. She was my one and only and I shall always remember her. The
police blamed me on her death. They said I was crazy and that I could no longer
live in this World. That I could not live near people. I remember walking out
the police station and there was a group of people, at first I thought they
were journalist but as I got closer I saw they were not here to help me. They
started shouting at me and calling me terrible names such as devil child,
animal, wolf, liar and countless others. One women threw her sandwich at me.
What have I done to be hated by so many people? I have never harmed my mother
and why would I. She was all I had, my everything. I would never hurt
anybody. It devastates me that people don't understand that I loved my mother
dearly. I never wanted anything to happen to her. If I had a choice to save her
and die instead I would. I used to look after my mother, I done this for most
of my life. I cherished every second I had of it. She was gentle, caring,
generous and very wise in every situation. She was the best advice giver, much
better than me. My mother could not walk properly so I had to help her do a lot
of everyday tasks. Off course it bent my self-esteem. Watching my mother
struggle everyday of her life was the worst thing that could have ever
happened. Well that's what I thought until she died. I watched her get weaker
and weaker. Her legs got worse as time went on. She had peripheral
neuropathy. It was caused before I was born when my parents were in a car
accident. My mother damaged her spinal cords leading to her muscles being
extremely weak and my father, well I never found out what happened to him. He
was in the accident but his body was never found, not knowing where he was
dented my mums motivation to keep going in life. My mother did not die because
of her condition but if she hadn't have had it then she may have had a better
chance of surviving. © 2013 Amy CowanAuthor's Note
