Only one person can scream my name at the wee hour of the day; only my mum does that."Cindy", the voice kept calling from down the stairs, probably from the kitchen, my mum's favorite place in the home. I still wonder why she loves the kitchen so much. As for me, the kitchen is the last place I will want to find myself.I rolled over my bed grudgingly, it was too early to get out of bed, the day isn't even bright yet, I wonder what the time will be.I peered through my duvet looking towards the alarm that laid idle on my bed stand."Oh geez...it's just 6:30am, what does mum needs from me by this time of the day", I soliloquized angrily."Cindy, don't let me come up to your room to get you out of bed", mum called out the umpteenth time. My mum is a woman of her words. Having to live under the same roof with her, leaves me with just one option, run away from home. Her constant nagging leaves me in despair.
