                          Part Two

  This Writing Is Based On True Events

Almost every year, Hazel and her family would move apartments, resulting in her going to four different elementary schools. Every year, the apartment would grow smaller and smaller, until their mother couldn't afford one alltogether.

So, without a home, Hazel and her sister lived for two years with their grandmother. They didn't see their mother often. Maybe once or twice a month, if they were lucky, over the holidays. Other than those few moments, she was gone.

Living with their grandmother was okay, to say the least. It was a small apartment: Three bedrooms, one bathroom, and one small kitchen/living room. Eight people lived there. Hazel's uncle, great grandmother, grandmother, sister, her aunt and her two kids. 

Just four months after they moved in, her great grandmother died. Their mother came to the funeral, and Hazel spent most of it crying in her mother's lap.

A year after, her aunt's daughter died at just two years old. That same year, her best friend Jennifer died in a car accident. After that, she was diagnosed with depression and developed entomophobia (fear of bugs) and aichmophobia (fear of sharp objects).

The aching pain she felt when losing her family and friend caused her to lose faith. Without a mother or father to help, she began to lose control, cutting her wrists and attempting suicide.

Now having entomophobia prevented her from venturing outside their small apartment, and she would often sit at the kitchen table, staring blankly at the wall.

In a way, you could say when she developed aichmophobia it helped, causing her to cut her wrists less than usual. 

And eventually, her mother came back, and with an apartment they could share. They moved back in with their mother in 2009 in a small, cozy apartment with two rooms, one bathroom, a porch and a small kitchen.

  • I don't know how to feel about this... I want to hope the girl's life will get better, and I do. But it's so... I feel bad...
