Prouloge
Charlotte walked through the streets of Independence in the rain. She was carrying a bag filled with fruits and bread. She was walking to her house, to her poor, sick mother, to a creeky old house about ready to fall. Her clothes were soaked by the pooring down rain. She put her rain coat over the groceries so the bread wouldn't get soggy.
When she reached her one room house her mother was caughing hard. Charlotte ran over to her mom lying in bed.
"Mom! Are you ok?" She ran to the kitchen and got her mom a glass of water. "Mom, are you ok?"
"Yes Charlotte, I'll be ok, it's you you should be worrying about. You're drenched! Why weren't you wearing your rain coat?
"I was protecting the groceries."
"Oh, good, you stopped by the store. We were just about out of food." Her mom said, stomach growling.
"Mom, we always are practicly out of food being this poor. So I was thinking... I'm gonna get a job."
"Oh, honey, you're only 14." Her mom said shocked.
"I know, but we need the money, you need the money, to go to the doctor's. You're very sick and the doctor can give special medicine. You... we need the money."
"Honey, you're just a child, who will hire you?"
"I don't know, maybe I could work for Mr. Johnson, down the street. Whatever job I get, no matter how ever terrible it is, every dollar helps."
"Ok, just be carefull looking for it, a lot of people will offer you a job, but get one where you're not outside too much, you don't wanna end up like me."
"I know mom," And with that Charlotte went to bed ready to look for a job the next day.
Charlotte woke up that morning to harsh coughing.
"Mom!!!" Her mom stopped coughing and looked at Charlotte.
"Honey," She coughed "I think my time has come."
"NO! Mom! Please be strong!!"
"No, honey," Her mom said stroaking Charlotte's hair slowly. "I don't want to suffer any more. I want to be with your father," She slowly lowered her hand "You're strong, you can handle life on your own. Go get that job, make some money. I have faith in you. Good bye." Her mom closed her eyes and never opened them again.
"MOM!! Please wake up! Wake up!!" She said sobbing. Charlotte leaned over her mom's body and started crying. "Good bye." She sniffed "I love you."
