the mom said but the grandma interrupted "no don't worry she's not disturbing me" but the Ella's mother spoke again "are you sure mom" then the grandma spoke "of course I'm sure" while sitting down beside Ella now "let me tell you about the story I wanted to tell you the all the time"then the grandma brought out a picture that she was holding and showed Ella " grandma who is this" Ella said clearly being confused then the grandma replied this was me when I looked much younger back in the old days Ella then said all grandma you look pretty when you're young now let me tell you a story back in those days when I was much younger I was born with a blue eyes people call me a real life doll but some people didn't really like it some of my peers didn't really like how I get so much attention because of the blue eyes especially one girl Rose she hated me for getting blue eyes she hated me for being who I was she even bullied me everyday always make sure that I never had friends always made me feel bad about myself during the time I was five the worst happened I was in a school and her mother was the principal it made that happy because I was in a territory this time she make sure my school life for the living hell and because she always have minions always supporting her standing beside her following all our food steps she like unstoppable and I was just a young girl in the corner with blue eyes it was clear she was jealous of me it was clear she didn't like me because she always make it show every single time I always tried my possible best always to make sure that I never Cross any line that will make her to have my attention but still yet she always find a way to bully me always find a way to make sure my life was a living nightmare but still yet I never tell my mom I never tell anybody because I fear she might just do something so bad so I just did what any other person would do keep quiet one day when I was 10 I packed out from my previous environment to another place the place was kind of massive than the house we were living before it was big as patious and behind the house there was a farm the farm was so big a lot of vegetables, pumpkins, potatoes, tomatoes and water leaf and in the middle of the farm there was a scarecrow. the scarecrow looks so real like as if I was actually looking a human being but however my dad never liked it my dad hated it my dad because there was a lot of space and in law he owns the farm because he bought the house so you never really like the farm so you decided to clear the farm away though I never really like the idea because I love the farm I tried with all my power to make sure it changes mind but my Dad didn't listen in fact he told me he could use the space for something else and he was saying all the things we could use the space for though it was a good idea but something in my heart wasn't just right I just really cared about the farm I beg them but you didn't just listen then I tried to tell my mom but my mom also had the same idea as him so in one case I never really have the same in this matter the next day I went to school and coming back I saw my dad was calling people that will help him clear the farm 1 hour later they all arrived and my dad showed them all around the farm though I didn't like it but I have to force myself to smile and pretend I was happy that pay them and the next day they came with a lot of tools to cut down the farm they started but at the point all of them just stopped destroying the farm my dad went downstairs to ask what was going on but they didn't say anything they just took the tools and left my dad try to stop them but like I see the way hematized my dad called them to complain but no one pick the call after that word incident I was actually happy that they didn't destroy the whole entire farm the next day I went to school then my worst nightmare came back to me the teacher said that a new student was coming to our class and for in fact I was happy but not just till I saw the new student face it was Rose my worst nightmare the person I wish never to meet again and when she saw me she smirked and I knew that everything is going upside down then the teacher told her to sit down beside me and in my mind I thought whether roles as planned this all I was scared again and shocked at the same time and just like always she already got the class hot boy over some people ever saying how lucky she was somewhere admiring her beauty why some girls were envious of her in just 4 hours she had already made friends that I can't even count friends I couldn't even make in a year then throughout the whole class I make sure I stay away from her as much as possible when I go home I just went to my room crying how could this be how could she come back when am I going to do those are the thoughts that surface in my head then I know this was crazy but I went to the middle of the farm to talk to the scarecrow at least we are like two broken souls trying to make sure that our life's stay perfect but just can't I don't know what I was doing but I just started talking to it telling it all about how Rose and me became enemies and how she came back to my life again it felt weird at first talking to a scarecrow but as time goes on I start becoming comfortable around it I talked all about my life how it started how I thought it's going to be perfect and how it end up I talk to you done then my dad just came back from work is car sound entering the yard then I finally said goodbye and went inside then my dad came in looking angry my mom asked what happened and all I know was the boat started fighting I run to my room and lock the door crying again then look out the window and fell that I had a friend the next day I went downstairs to tell my mom and dad good morning just like the way we used to but I didn't see my dad and my mom was subbing but when she saw me she quickly clean her tears and put on a fake smileof course I saw right through it I asked about that and she said he went to work she asked me to quickly dress up and go to school just even thinking about school I felt like not going because Rose is going to be there by reluctantly stood up and get ready getting to my class I take few breath then work in then I saw that my chair was messed up then I knew who would have done it the teacher came in and ask where I was still standing and rose intervene saying that "maybe she think she's better than everyone"then the teacher knowing who I am said "what is it Sarah are you okay"she said but I said someone messed up my chair putting all sort of things there the teacher worked up to me and looked at the chair and ask who did it but of course no one said anything Rose then stand up and said how is it our problem whether a chair got messed up then look at me and said it's your chair it's your problem the teacher visibly got angry and ask her to sit but Rose was bent on insulting me I didn't look at her I just bend down and start cleaning my chair after I cleaned it I then sat down but Rose in the other and does not seem satisfied I knew today is going to be a war so I just kindly came prepared during the time of break I went to the cafeteria to get something to eat then Rose with her minions work talk to me I'm poured sour milk over my body then said "oops"everyone bust into laughing I wanted to walk away but I minions blocked my way and Rose said where do you think you're going Sarah aren't you going to greet your old friend I wanted to say something but her boyfriend the class role model John who are the girls want to be with someone happened and walk up to her and said " why did she do it" Rose look stoned clearly did not expect him to be here then she quickly put on an act saying that I started it that I slapped her then I minions supporting her but John said "still yet that doesn't give you the right to pour milk on her" okay yes I know what all of you might be thinking I've have been having a crush on John since when I got here but she forget that now is with my enemy and I don't want to be someone that just breaks the girls heart by taking her boyfriend. So when John handed me an handkerchief I just ran away from the scene I didn't just want to be involved in John and rose relationship I just stayed in the toilet I didn't go to any of my classes I wait to the bell ring so I can just get home when I go home nothing greeted me but only sadness and silent I dropped my bag and went to the farm where the scarecrow is and told them all about my day and to be sincere I felt good talking to someone well maybe some things at least I can see how I felt but I was just sad though because that is angry and I've never seen this angry before and mom is just in our own world even though I don't want to be a problem I have mine too I talked all day to the scarecrow till it was done I went back inside at that time mom and dad have not come back from work I would have cooked something for them but I'm still 10 years old and I could not enter the kitchen yet so I just waited silently but 10 minutes later mom came back and I was happy hugging her then she asked me about my day I said it was great she went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat and I went inside the room to take a shower coming back from the shower I heard noise downstairs and I just knew that has come back I didn't know the sudden change why was really mad at mom addressed up when downstairs but I didn't make them to see me I hide at the staircase looking down at them that was shouting at mom and Mom was just standing just saying "sorry" that then knelt down started crying I didn't know what was happening I didn't know what was going on but the next day I saw people being cutlass a lot of tools to cut down the farm I went downstairs blocking the path my daddy look visibly angry but I didn't care get crow didn't want this place to be brought down to nothing and I also didn't want this place to be brought down to nothing so I stood strong even when my dad shouted at me I didn't say anything just block their path then my dad carried me away I pushed try to talk to him but he didn't listen then just like what happened they started cutting the plants but before they go touch any of them they stopped I started taking their vehicle away they sell walking away hypnotized I didn't understand what was happening so my dad also didn't understand what was happening but I felt strange like as if someone was boiling in anger I look to my side to see my dad looking for straighted and I thought it was him well this kind of hunger was different my Daddy hold my hand tightly took me inside and called someone I didn't know who it was calling but the person didn't pick up and he went to his room and locked it I feel bad for him I felt like it on all my fault for in the other end they have to listen to me too in the middle of the night I was already asleep I heard the sound downstairs that made me wake up I quietly went downstairs just to see my dad going outside I didn't see what it was holding but I look Sharp I was young so I thought maybe he want do something that I don't do I didn't think too much of a and went back to my room to take a sleep the next morning I woke up with a shocking news hearing that my dad disappeared I didn't understand what my mom was saying I just went upstairs thinking maybe he came back from wherever you went to last night opening the door to his room I didn't see him there then I run outside just to see police surrounding the environment and my mom was asked a lot of questions then a police came up to me and ask me when I saw my dad last I gave an honest answer saying I saw him last night but when he asks only that my eyes wondered to scarecrow still in the middle of the farm I didn't listen to anything else and just walked up to scarecrow I didn't know what I was doing either I looked at him tears swelling up in my eyes then I hooked scarecrow I told him whether you have seen Dad but he's just a thing so you didn't say anything of course that's what I expect but I worked away from scarecrow just a few steps away then I stepped on something I look down and saw a cutlass. Cutlass was stained blood then beside it was a branch and the branch was connected to scarecrow and the branch was stained with blood to I didn't think too much of it I thought maybe my dad must have killed an animal in the farm and maybe the animal try to get out and this blood must have stayed scarecrows branch I was young I didn't know what was happening the police never find where my father was you never even find his body or they couldn't say whether is dead or still alive but something was just in my head what happened to my dad is he dead and when I turn 22 my mom is always clinging in the past she missed my dad and I clearly see it she always looked at the farm and said to me that why do your father wanted to clear the farm I always told her that I never know she still look for my father in her heart she's still felt that he's alive countless times she always go to the police station to ask them to search for my dad again and countless time they always tell her that they couldn't find him every night she always cry and every night I am always there for her now years use of passed by and I'm 22 I mean University and John the hot guy in our class back then is in my school and also Rose now John and rose have continued their love life from when they were young and they're still lovers maybe they were really meant to be. I started my day just like any normal person and saw my mom downstairs she was happy and ready for work I told her to be safe and don't go to the police station today and she promise you won't then I went to school then Rose woke up to me and greeted me sarcastically calling me a bimbo but now I wasn't the old Sarah she used to bullied I talk back at her calling her a waste productshe got angry because that that was the first time I talked back at her she wanted to teach me a lesson but fortunately for me John came to my rescue well it wasn't a rescue but it came that the right time and John look more handsome than before you already got that bad boy era are going on is talk button are always on buttoned is hair always looked Messy and the best of all the girls steel sworn one on him whenever he played basketball the girl who be fighting for who will give him a bottle of water and as for John and rose relationship they often fight all the time and break up more often than I can count well is always Rose that always go back to him and say she's sorry swearing never to do it again but just as the same again they fought and again they got back and as for me and topping my grades really well making my mom and also making scarecrow proud toand each time I'm done with school I will always come back home and tell scarecrow how school has been and how my day went. Me and scarecrow we talk to Dawn till mom gets back from work that's only when I go inside one day I came back from school just to save mom came from work pretty early I told her I want to go to the farm but I didn't tell her what I want to do but just like anymore she found out that I'm talking to an unliving thing she asked me to sit down that she want to tell me something I thought maybe she want to say about how I need real friends but that wasn't the case at all in fact she said something that sent chill down my spine she said that she's feels that the scarecrow was alive at this point I said laughing so hard I felt for my chair then she look at me with a seriously even for me at least I know that scarecrow can't talk but she still looked at me with the serious expression saying that is alive I stopped laughing and with a serious stone I said "mom come on scarecrow isn't alive okay maybe you're seeing things were maybe something something you just wrong somewhere they're talking about an only living things here"but my mom didn't change she said she felt that we need to go away from this house and she said talking in a way I could not even understand I told my mom that maybe I need to make you some tea but my mom with a harsh words said " No! I'm not crazy Sarah you have to believe me" okay fine let's say I believe you but Mom this is insane okay how can we tell everyone that my mom feels that the scarecrow is alive mom I've been talking to this thing for years now and even me know that they can't talk but my mom still stayed in different she just kept looking outside with a word look I had no choice but to say I'm going out then left the house but to be sincere I didn't know where I was going I don't even know what I was doing I went to a cafeteria and get something to drink in that place I saw John and for a second I felt safe and happy I didn't know why I was feeling that way but I just felt it I didn't want him to see me so I just took the drink and wanted to go out from that place but he saw me and call me over it was alone so I reluctantly went over and sit down then he asked how I was doing and we both started a conversation to be sincere you have a lot of common for example you like like bike and I like bike too you like singing and I also like hearing people sing and we also talk about the time when we were little talking about our most embarrassing moments and sad moments and even happy moments to I only talked about my embarrassing moments and my sad moments but to be really sincere I never thought I really had an happy moment in my life all of the moments are just weird and scary and sad before I knew it we took each other phone numbers then someone called John and he had to leave I felt sad inside but also happy because for the first time in my life I gave someone my number not to be like I don't have friends but the only person I know that I have their number is my mom and maybe some of my mom's friends and my cousins too I know in this case I am like the background of the story realizing I have no one to talk to I stood up and went back home but before I entered inside I looked back and so scarecrew and I don't know what happened but I just remember the incident about how I saw that cutlass and that branch that was connected to scarecrow then my mom voice put me back to reality and I walked inside the house my mom then hugged me saying she's sorry for saying those things the other time that she wasn't really in her right sense season she had a lot to drink I forgived her and on the dining table was filled with all my favorite food and I smile and for the first time in 12 years I had a good meal and my mom seemed happy today after eating I took the dishes to the kitchen and wash it my mom was watching a movie and when I was done washing the dishes I joined her in watching the movie sitting down my mom holding a picture of Dad looking at it.
