So, I was thinking about writing a story.
It'd be about a girl whose mom died. She's left behind with her abusive father and intense pain because of her loss.
This is how far i've come:


‘God, whenever I need something it seems like it fell off the face of the earth, I’m getting so sick of this.’ Jenny thought as she threw paper and books through her room. “MOM! I CAN’T FIND MY SCIENCE BOOK!” she shouted. Her mother was downstairs; while sipping from her cappuccino she heard the desperate yell from her daughter. ‘I knew she’d lose it, I just knew it.’ She thought, remembering seeing the book a week ago somewhere downstairs.
“Sweetie, didn’t you leave it downstairs? I remember seeing it here.” She said.
Jenny was still desperately trying to find it by throwing everything around and destroying every item she came across. She was sure she saw it somewhere in her room, it must’ve been in her room since that was the only place she ever did her homework.
She opened her drawers and quickly scattered the things she kept there. After a dozen of pencils being scattered around the room, her old cell phone being thrown on her bed and an old key to her room in the house she previously lived in being thrown out of the window, she decided to go downstairs.
It seemed like her mother had been drinking cappuccinos non stop since she came home from work. She was wearing her reading glasses and it seemed as if she was drowning in Cosmo magazine. She had a cup of cappuccino in her left hand and the magazine in her right. She was lying comfortably on the sofa with her feet resting on the table.
“I give up, I think it started its own life and left me.” Jenny said, letting herself drop on the sofa sighing.
Her mother nearly jumped up in surprise, and looked at her with a bit of an annoyed expression.
“God, you scared me Jenny! Didn’t I just tell you to look downstairs? I believe I saw it on the fridge.” She said, losing herself in the magazine again.
“On the fridge? How would my book get there?” Jenny protested, but with no use. Her mother was too deepened in the magazine to hear what Jenny was saying.
Jenny looked at the magazine, trying to find out what was so interesting that it kept her mother from moving for at least two hours but gave up quickly, remembering her quest to find her book.
She quickly walked to the fridge, and stood on her toes, trying to see what was lying on top.
And there it was, just like her mother told her. Her science book was buried beneath a thin layer of dust covering it. She grabbed it and went back to the sofa. Feeling a bit ashamed for not listening to her mother any sooner, she gave her mother a kiss on the cheek, thanked her and went upstairs. Her mother smiled and continued reading.
Halfway up the stairs, Jenny remembered her bag was still in the living room so she went back. Looking around hoping to come across her bag, she saw something sickening.
Something so shocking it made her whole body tremble inhumanly. What she saw wasn’t her bag, it was her dead mother lying on the sofa. Her body white as snow, every sign of life being absent. She fell to the ground, sobbing heavily. Feeling her heart being torn and all the air getting sucked out of her lungs, tears streaming down her face, she screamed for all she was worth.

She woke up gasping for air, tears rolling down her cheeks. It was a nightmare, just a nightmare. The same she had been having for weeks now. Ever since the day she was picked up from school, only to find out her mother had passed away.

Ummmm, I'm not so sure on the end part it's sort of confusing. I think have it, but I'm not sure anyways. Will you continue writing the story or was this the end? Quite honestly I liked the story. It seemed very realitic to me, but maybe do you think that if she'e had some sort of dream or she's talking to herself that maybe you oughta used Italics? Just a suggestion, I do it and I find it better to tell which part of my story is the actual story and which is the dream. It just helps me. Other than that I think you should continue the story. It's very intersting and I want to see what happens to Jenny.
