Dear Journal,
I’m
homeschooled. I have to teach myself from a book that Jane and
Harold bought me. I work out of that book for 3 hours each day and
for a few hours at night before bed. All the rest of my time is
spent cleaning, cooking, or doing other chores. I am only allowed
one shower per week. Sometimes I sneak into the bathroom and use
the faucet to wash my face, armpits, etc. I don’t wear any
makeup and fixing my hair consists of me throwing my long knotted
brown hair into a ponytail or bun. Sierra always looks nice. She is
always wearing pretty dresses and has her hair done nicely. I wear
old worn out thrift shop jeans, an old stained shirt two sizes too
big, and sneakers that I’ve had for the past 3 years. I wish
Jane and Harold loved me as much as Sierra, but that’s
impossible. I’m underweight… borderline anorexic, but
not by choice… by force. I never get fed full meals. My
shirts always float off of my bag of bones body. I want to get away
so badly. I stole this book from Jane’s desk. It was brand
new; she has multiple of them so she wouldn’t notice one
missing. But, now you’re mine, journal… the only thing
I love. I hope one day that someone will read this journal.
They’ll learn about my life, especially if I die too. Diana
is looking over me… protecting me. I know it. Well,
it’s 6 a.m. I better get started on my chores. I walk
upstairs and find my list left on the counter from Jane and Harold.
Jane writes them though. This is the
list… Skye’s Chores
1. Wake up Sierra.
2. Make her get ready.
3. Make her eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast.
4. Pack her lunch.
5. Pack up her school bag.
6. Get her on the bus.
7. Do your 3 hours of schooling.
8. Vacuum ALL of the rooms except basement or attic.
9. Wash the kitchen and living room windows (inside and out)
10. Clean the bathroom.
11. Make the beds.
12. You can eat the leftover mashed potatoes for lunch.
13. Get Sierra off of the bus.
14. Make her a snack of her choice.
15. Get her to do her homework.
*This all better be completed by the time we come home*
-Jane & Harold Yep, that’s my list of the day. I better
get started. I woke up Sierra and she’s getting ready. I must
go; I have to make her breakfast. Bye for now journal. I love you.
Goodbye.
Sincerely, Skye
