i'm lacey woods , i'm sixteen and have two annoying older brothers chase and matt, but they are always there for me when i'm down or whenever everything is falling apart. our parents died in plane crash three years ago. when my dad died i hit rock bottom and i fell to peices. i have just moved to newcastle australia to start new life with matt my guardian.he got a job offer and took withoutt talking to me about frist, but i gues i'm the most important thing to him since he lost his wife and child in labour.
my life is messed up ,i can't take th silence when im alone , the awkwardness betwween time and space. life is all about giving iit chance whether you have lost or found something in life.the greatess question known to man is "what is the meaning of life?". the day everything changed for me was when matt and i arrived at our new house, it was like a mansion, it had five bedrooms, a pool and spa, man cave, a movie theater. it was all thanks to his boss who gave him a promation, he told matt and i that he gave the rpomation to matt because he wanted us to have a freash strat in life after everything that had happen to us but also because matt equired good work ethic and was in control of his empolyee's, and thats how we ended up in australia.
"lacy, dinner's ready" matt yelled out
my first night in a unknown but fimilar place, it was big and scary wondering the house of night and really easy to get lost in.as i wonder the hallways i see paintings famous paintings of the matter the copys and real, but they different to any of the sort i have seen in my life time.i found matt out the back next to pool,i loolooked at how sad he was and how he wasn't cooping with this loss of famliy. it brought tears to my eyes knowing i'm a consit reminder of pain to him, i have always felt like a burden to him.
"matt are you alright?" i asked
he turned looked up at me and relplied " no go away"
i turned walked back to my room and locked the door i was so glad i have my own bathroom, i opened my make case and pulled out my razor blade and laid it to my wrist, as i cut the pain dripped away in the
blood. after so many cuts i decide to write a letter to chase who was england study law, i watch myself bleed it was my only escape from the pain and sadness i feel everyday.
i finally closed my eyes and went to sleep.
the first day of school my alarm screamed at i searched for it in the dark and when i found i picked it up and threw it across the room it shattered. i rolled out of bed and opened my curtains to dreay yet miserable day.i got dressed and headed for the door as fast as i possible could.
