Ever since I could remember I was always told not to get involved with bad things...you know stealing, cursing, lies, murder. The normal things teenagers are told to stay away from. Except I was never told that with a drug addicted crazy mom I was never spoken to about 'bad' things.

But today, my sixteenth birthday was out of line.

I woke like any other day.

I rolled out of my bed in my red lace thong and almost invisible tiny triangle bra. I walked over to my dusty wardrobe and chose a normal comfy outfit, I wasn't feeling too glamorous for my birthday.

I picked out hot pink booty shorts that were a size too small and a tiny black tank top. I also slipped on my favourite chunky Filas.

"You finally awake!?" I heard my mom call as I ran downstairs.

"Yes mom" I said rolling my eyes.

I began to make some toast for breakfast, I had to use stale bread that had been left open. Mom never remembered to go grocery shopping. I mean she's always busy with new hot dates, one night stands, parties, drinking, drugs or the occasional police occurrence for driving under the influence. Even though I don't know how it's even classified as driving when my mom owns a 17 year old car with the backseats ripped out and a window that's been unable to roll up since I could remember.

But that's when I looked down and saw her bright red stilettos and knew she would be going out again tonight.

"Can you please stay for my birthday atleast" I searched her tired eyes trying to determine her answer.

"You know how busy I am dear" she said with little empathy.

Yeah, 'busy' getting black out drunk somewhere in the middle of LA.

"Do I get a present at least?"

"Unless you want to come with me, no" mom laughed.

I didn't reply and took my hot toast out of the toaster, pulled an old wooden seat out from under the table and began to eat in silence.
