CHAPTER 1

    I decided on keeping a diary, a diary I can read and a story only i can write. These past two years have completely distorted my life. I’m stuck at home with my younger brother, sister and my older brother. Alana is the youngest she’s 10, my other little brother, Liam is 12 and then my older brother Sean is 17 and recently we have become really close. Sean helps me understand and think things through. I started hanging out with him and his friends. See Sean isn’t mean like typical older brothers, he takes care of me. But I also live with my mom and dad. Surprise, surprise I live with parents. My family sounds like the average Joe’s but little do you know.

My parents met in middle school. They dated for two years and when my mom was around 14 she had my older sister Deme. Yes another one of those tragic teenage pregnancy kind of stories. My mother wasn’t or actually still isn’t the brightest bulb in the drawer. So my mom went to school till her 11th year and ended up dropping out because a year after having Deme, she had my older brother Sean and raising two kids in high school, I’m assuming, did not work out too well. But believe me I don’t have any remorse for my parents even though they have kids, they treat us all like dirt. Nevertheless I don’t want to waste my first diary entry on them. 

So my older sister Deme is my best friend; we use to do everything together even though she’s four years older than me. Were so close because we both understand each other, and that’s why I miss her so much. Deme moved or actually ran away a year ago. She hasn’t called me since. I should expect that though, since my parents abused her so much. Not just physically but they told her things no child would want to hear from their mother. She was the “mistake child” and nothing more. I was looking through Facebook which is this online site, I’m sure you have heard of it, it’s practically taken over the world. Anyways I was looking through Facebook and found her. I wrote her number down and I just wanted to write in you before I made my first call to her. So wish me luck!
