"Arrrggg" a loud scream followed by bottles breaking woke me up. Knowing what it was I quickly got up and ran to the living room.

''Mum!'' I yelledl. My sperm donor as I like to call him is super drunk as usual. And as usual he is beating my mum again.

"Amelia go back to your room, I am fine" mum said trying to stand up. But my sperm donor pushed my heavily sick mum.

"Father stop!, she is sick!" I yelled going to stand in front of my mum.

"Shut up!"' He yelled raising his belt to beat me but mum stood in front of me taking the hit.

"Dave please! She is only a young lady leave her alone!" mum yelled begging my sperm donor.

"Shut up! She is not a small child, she is fucking 20 years old she is not a child. This should be the last time I ask for money and you say you don't have. Do you understand!'' He yelled.

"Yes I d.." I cut my mother off.

"Why don't you buy your own drink with your own money you bastard!!" I yelled making my mother gasp in shock.

"Amelia! Dave she didn't mean it I promise she didn't" mother said crying and pushing me behind her. But my fucking sperm donor was already angry based on his facial expression.

"You're talking to me! You are the bastard, no child of mine can be as useless as you. Now I will pardon you because I need my rest, tomorrow prepare my money" he said slurring and stumbling to the bedroom. mother hit me in the back.

"Mum!" I yelled rubbing my back.

"Amelia please don't talk to him like that again. Do you want him to injure you!, you know what forget about it stand up and help me clean up this place" mum said standing up like her husband didn't just beat her. Tears rolled down my eyes. Why does she always act so strong. I stood up going to my mother and holding her frail hands.

"Mum please you don't have to be strong let us run away. Mum you have cancer and the sperm donor of mine keep collecting your medication money. Please let us just run away mum please" I said still holding her hands.

"Don't worry Amelia I will be fine, now help me pack up" she said smiling. As usual she refused to run. I have always try changing mother's mind but as usual she always refused so I just helped her clean. After cleaning I went to my room to dress up. I am a waiter by the day and masked stripper in the night. Mum doesn't like me being a stripper but she has no choice as we really need money for her cancer, her cancer is still at the stage that it can be remove bit the doctor said it's already spreading that if we dont bring the money fast that her days will be numbered. I don't want my mom days to be numbered she is just 37 years old, she gave birth to me when she was 17, she is still very young and I want her to live and probably look for a boyfriend or a husband, I don't care as far as he treat her right.

A lot of people think my mum is my elder sister because of how young she looks, I don't know why she got pregnant for that dunkard but the mistake is done I just don't want her to die. She has to live.

I entered my bathroom, our house is a 4 bedroom house and it is really huge. My mom comes from a very rich family but she had gotten pregnant for a nobody so her family casted her out as they don't want mum to be an embarrassment to them. Her father wanted her to marry a very rich man so he can be richer and more powerful in the society but mom had gotten pregnant, mom said her father is a wicked man that cares about title, power, and money, he didn't care that she was his only female child, my grandfather is a fucking douchebag. Mom said my sperm donor was okay before but her father made him lose his job he wanted mom to suffer. So my sperm donor result to drinking and blaming mom as their were both teenagers who knocked each other up. This house was given to us by mom elder brother mom said he always use to check up on her but he suddenly stopped and she has not seen him in a very long time. My sperm donor has tried selling this house so many times but he can't as he does not have the papers to the house so he gave up. This house is the only good thing in my life except from my mom of course. I took my bath, when I finished bathing, I cleaned my body and wore a black trouser and an orange top, if I get to the restaurant I will wear my waiter cloth.
