The One

chapter 1 

I didn’t mean for it to happen like this yanno its all a big mess I’ve lost all the people I love over one stupid little thing I did everyone hates me I won’t be able to forgive myself for what I’ve done I want to just run away and never come back….. but I can’t I have to be here for my mum and sister I can’t leave them not again look what happened last time, I never really knew what happened to mum and Claire after I left all I knew was that mum got a boyfriend and a lot of cuts and scars with it I could have stopped it if I hadn’t of left for my selfish ways and now it’s happening again………….

“WAKE UP VIOLET”!!!! I heard my mum screeching from the stairs. “It’s the first day of my new job I can’t be late, Claire I can’t hear any movement in that room don’t make me come up there” 

I slowly got out of bed brushing my hair on the way to the bathroom passing Claire on the way, she had the same look on her face as me that scared look when you start a new school but it wasn’t us who were starting a new school it was mum not literally she was working at our school but there’s just one problem…

“Violet what are you doing in there hurry up” I heard my mum shout, I put on my new shorts, my tank top and my converse grabbed my bag and went. 

On the car ride to school I started to feel sick what would everyone think because you see when my mum got that new boyfriend he hurt her she still has scars today but the worst thing he did was when he burnt her he got drunk one night they argued and he poured the kettle all over her the paramedics didn’t get here in time she has a third degree burn on her face. That’s what me and Claire are worried about what if people laugh at her they don’t know she’s our mum what if everything changes.

Just as I was getting lost in thought we pulled up at school it was possibly the best school ever it was awesome, I got out sorted my hair wiped the tears away I didn’t realise I had cried and got ready for another amazing day at school with the best people I knew… my friends.
