We were happy once. My mom, dad, and I. Well, step dad. We were the happiest family in the town, until the wreck. I had gotten sick, very sick, and dad was at work. The neighbor was watching me and it got bad, I was only 13. It was storming, the worse storm we have every gotten. Then it happened, my mom was coming the hospital, and a drunk driver was going home. She died from impact, then everything started happening.

Shoot I'm gonna be late! I ran down the street trying to get home before he does. I have to be home starting dinner by 5. It was 4:46. Oh god I can't be late again! It's gonna be worse! I ran through the door, through down my bag and automatically started dinner. I did it. I got here before him and finished right on time. Then the door opened. He grabbed the tequila. I was screwed. I went in my room, sat in the corner and cried. and cried. and cried. I heard him come in. Shit, he was drunk.

He grabbed my arm as I tried to get away. damn it, a bruise. And that night, I stayed up after he left. The moon shining into my room. I looked up and wished he would stop, and that i could have a normal life. Please.

The next day, new school. I was wearing long sleeve black shirt. a black leather jacket. black skinny jeans. and boots. Which were also black. My hair down so nobody would notice my bruises. Lucky he hadn't hit my face, which would be hard to cover up.

I arrive at school and this girl tries to talk to me, I smile lightly and walk away. I don't want any friends, nobody can know my secret. Then someone shoves me. I turn around see him. He's next some girl, apparently the one that shoved me.

What the hell is your problem.

What did you say to me?

You heard me.

Bitch, don't think you can come and act like u run everything.

That's it. I lost it. I turned around and slapped her. Then walked off to my first period.

Damn. I've never seen a girl like her. She's beautiful. Amanda decides she's going to push her, it's obvious she's jealous. As soon as she walks away I turn to Amanda.

What the hell was that for!?

Oh come on babe. she was obviously a slut.

Shut up. and don't call me that.

I had to find her. and now.

Ugh I hear someone following me. my classroom is right up here I got this. Then he grabs me.

What's your name?

My heart stops, what is this feeling stop it

Violet, why do you care.

I'm Emilio, and i wanted to say sorry. She Shouldn't have done that.

No shit. She's rude.

Anyways, are you new here?

Yes

Would you like to go somewhere with me after school?

I'm sorry I can't. I have to get home.

Please?

And after that. I walked away.
