I saw love as hate. It didnt make any sense to me as to why a "relationship" was important. My mom would yell at my dad that he was useless. She almost tried to shoot him once. Then came my dog, Kiki. Her real name was Kiana, but i could never pronouce it. I got her when i was four years old. We would run in the front yard, and she was by my side every step of the day. Her chocolate eyes would protect my sleeping every night. Then the worst day ever happened. Then i was fourteen and i was forever alone. That day, I just got home from school, and was walking by my house. Then i heard the blood rushing sound of a dog whimper. I quickly dashed up the steps, and opened the door. There she lay, with a side table by her side. My mom was at the other side of the room. "How could you!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I grabbed the dogs heavy head and laid it on my knees. "She was being a little brat, and bit me." My mom yelled. "You liar!! She would never do anything to hurt you or me or dad. Im sick of every freakin lie that you tell!" I said. The teard swelled up in my eyes. My precious dog, more like a sister, opened her eyes. "Ahhh," i said in relief, " your okay!" My mom stood there glaring at the happiness that sprung in the room. "Go to your room." She said sternly. I slowly regained balance and went to my undeserved punishment room. Kiana laid beside me. About 2 weeks later, the pain in her legs caused cancer and she died. i remember that moment. I felt her last breath vibrate through my skin. Tears seeped and absorbed into her fur as my tears faded. she was my everything, and my mom had to ruin my only ounce of happiness. Anyway, later that night my dad came home with open arms and a cringing smile. "My girl." He whispered in my ear. Then my phone beeped, of course it was my best friend Louis, aka Lou. I couldn't help but smile. He was my rock to lean on since Hayden, my boyfriend, was not. Hayden was a guy that kinda made me love Lou.My only problem was he was a druggie and didn't treat me well. Now the story begins with me, Stratton Paris Monroe.
