"Sara!" her mom yelled. "What are you doing? You know to do your chores right when you get home! And you're late!""Coming, Mom!" Sara yelled, getting up and stomping towards the kitchen. "What?" she snapped as her mother gave her a stern look, annoyed."You'd better straighten up your attitude, young lady," her mom warned, "or you'll be grounded." "Whatever." Sara began to throw around the dishes in the sink, trying to make as much noise as she possibly could. A plate cracked and cut her hand. Sara cursed.
"Sara!" her mom exclaimed. "How dare you use that language! Go to your room!" "No!" Sara yelled, throwing down the towel she was using to wipe the blood off her hand. "Do you want to say 'no' one more time and see what happens?" her mom asked. She looked furious. "Sure," Sara said sarcastically. "No." "How dare you!" Her mother slapped her. Sara shrank back, staring incredulously at her mom. She had never hit Sara before.
"I HATE YOU!" Sara screamed before running out of the house. "Sara, get back here!" her mom yelled, running after her. "Leave me alone!" Sara screamed, running across the street. "I HATE YOU!" she screamed again. She continued running until she heard the sound of screeching tires and a scream. She turned around, hoping that it wouldn't be what she thought it would be. People were crowding around Sara's mother, who was laying in the middle of the street, looking broken, bloody.
"NOOOO!" Sara screamed, running over and pushing through everyone to kneel by her mom. "Oh no, oh no...." Her mom wasn't moving or breathing. She was gone. Sara tipped back her head and wailed to the sky, sobbing so hard it hurt. She couldn't believe the last words she had spoken to her mother were "I hate you".
To everyone out there who tells your parents or friends you hate them, or any other rude thing, remember it might be the last thing you ever say to them.
Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. (Al-Quran 17:23)
