A new beginning

~Maricle- Back story~

"Where did dada go?..." the little three year old who just woke up from her nap asks her mom after not seeing him anywhere. "He left. And i hope he never comes back" the mother says as she picks up the little girl. "oh oki...?" the three year old girl says oblivious that her dad has abandoned them

"WHEN WILL YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO DAD?!" the 11 year old screams, tears streaming down her cheeks. "HE LEFT US OK?! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED! HE LEFT US ALONE... he left us..." the mom screams making the child cry more but the girl looks more angry then hurt like she has just been insulted. "dad left us...?" you could hear the pain in her voice, She was obviously hurt by this newfound information. "HE JUST GOT UP AND LEFT US!?" she screams out of pure anger. " YES AND ITS YOUR FAULT, I WISH I GOT AN ABORTION IF I DID GET ONE THIS FAMILY WOULDN'T BE BROKEN. ITS YOUR FAULT YOUR FATHER IS GONE" the mother says, throwing an glass vase right next ti her child's head, resulting in it breaking. "...glad you got that out mom.." the 11 year old girl goes to her room and cries until she cant until crying hurts her more then she was. her world was collapsing around her. She was angry. She was angry at her father for leaving she was angry at her mother for not telling her she was mad at everything because she cant control anything that goes on in her live and that was the day she realized, Not everyone is gonna make it.

"work harder if you want better pay" the boss says to the now 13 year old girl. "i-im sorry boss ill do better please dont fire me im sorry" the 13 year okd says in fear because this is her only way of getting money and we all know her mother wont pay for anything, regarding she thinks she shouldve aborted her own daughter for her own selfish needs. "i wont fire you your a good worker its just if you want a raise do better, push your limits."  the words echo in the girls head "i wont fire you" she mumbles "ok i got it! i promise to not disappoint!" she says with a sudden peppy attitude. Still with tears in her eyes because of how close that was. The girl goes home and sees her mother sprawled out on the couch asleep. The TV is static showing the channel had stopped or the internet cut out again. She goes to her room eh well the room with a mattress and a table and drops her backpack down and treats the bruises and cuts she got, some from her mother others were from taking the shortcut threw the woods. She thought today was a good day as she went to sleep trying to not think about how she has to pay rent tomorrow.

"Hi my name is maricle! pronounced Mer-i-cell! were partners for that science project yougave me your number i thought i should text you" the 15 year old girl texts thinking abotu her lab prtner for the important science project coming up, they got to choose partners and i guess her partner thought she was cool. They had never talked before so the 15 year old figured ((why not text him? theres no harm in it.)) In a matter of seconds she gets a reply.

"oh hi i didnt expect you to actually text me...my names august."

She stares at the text and immediately smiles, having a warm feeling inside like shes carefree. "oh ok cool we start the project tmr!" she texts back still butterflies in her stomach and then shuts off her phone and goes to sleep with unusual ease. its seems her and her lab partner are going to get along nicely.

in the middle of the school year, the two had to do a project and make home-made acid. August and Maricle were the only ones who actually succeeded (because of their chemistry iykyk 😏 ) Which deemed august the name "Acid" that maricle calls him in honor of their victory. Since that day the name has just kinda stuck. Maricle still doesn't know who and where her dad is but at this point in time she can assume he's dead, she doesn't remember his face at all just that he was a good father until he left. Her mother was sent to jail for child abuse, She should've been put in a asylum in maricle and acid opinions but she is in jail either way. She had no where to go but acid said that his family was ok with taking care of her for the time being. That didn't last for too long. Acids parents taught them all sorts of things survival skills,hunting, how to use a gun etc. You might be wondering, Why? Because acids parents were some of the survivors of the zombie apocalypse. And they didn't want their child to die if it happened again. The apocalypse only happened because they needed to control over population, turns out they also died in the process of this "re-population"  And acids parents werent about to let their kid be next in this gorribke tradegy that had happened. Especially because population became a issue again, The goverment said that they have everything under control but were not sure. So bunkers have been prepared guns and food and bags to run away if this happens again because no one wants the world to turn horrible again.
