On My Own: Away From Family {Discontinued}

The Victim

*Listen to the song it goes so well with this chapter trust me*

Lizzie's P.O.V:

Hi, I'm Lizzie Saltzman. You probably don't know me but you will most likely know my twin sister, Josie Saltzman.

I'm known as the defective twin with bipolar disorder, it is a brain disorder that causes changes in a person's mood, energy, and ability to function. I with bipolar disorder experienced intense emotional states that typically occur during distinct periods of days to weeks, called mood episodes. Yeah I know, goals am I right.

One of the reasons why my dad hates me so much, and because I remind him of my uncle.

I am a siphon witch, one of two of the last ones from the Gemini Coven. I go to the Salvatore boarding school in Mystic Falls Virginia, and I have no friends here, and it sucks.

I do have friends who just don't go to our special private school for the supernatural, but they do know about the supernatural world. They moved here five years ago, and weird thing is that I met them in the woods.

My friends are Scoot McCall, Allison Argent, Stiles Stilinski, Kira Yukimura, Malia Hale, Derek Hale, Issac Lahey, Theo Reaken and Lydia Martin. They go to Mystic Falls high-school.

I found them while I was on a walk in the woods and it was a full moon. What people don't know is that the full moons in Mystic Falls and New Orleans are way worse than anywhere else in the world.

Scott, Derek, Isaac and Malia were going crazy because of the full moon. They were about to attack the others but I quickly siphoned the energy from a tree and said 'Projetium Diflectum'. It's a protection spell.

From there on I've been helping them and we've become close. Even though Derek does come in and out of Mystic Falls, it's like he has a problem settling down anywhere that's not Beacon Hills, but I don't blame him, he told me about his past.

I usually don't like staying home/school so sometimes I sleepover at Scott's place with his mom. I try to help out so I don't seem like a burden. They have been so kind to me I am so thankful.

I also have this hopefully unnoticeable crush on Stiles, but I try to push that away because he has this huge crush on Lydia. In hopes my feelings go away I help him try to get with Lydia, and trust me it's not easy, it's been five years. I push my feelings away because it's easier that way, and our friendship is pure to me.

I go out a lot with my friends so I can avoid being at home because my dad hits me and worships my sister. He is only nice to me whenever he needs me to help Josie with a spell or something. Josie isn't a good sister either so I am treated like crap, and Josie's girlfriend Hope is fine. We aren't friends but we aren't enemies either. We just know each other exists.

There the occasional times that the pack comes over to the school to pick me up, and my dad tries to suck up to them to make it look like we have a perfect family, but I already told them about my dad and sister so they don't care, I've only told Scott and Stiles about him abusing me though.

Every time the pack comes over my dad tries to persuade them to join the school for more advertising and Josie asks weird and stupid questions like why are they friends with me, and they should hang out with her more. Every time they all declined politely, but there was this one time Derek picked me up and Josie asked the same things, and he just stared and said " I don't need you, I have the better sister as a friend," He said. Then he got in the car and I got in the passenger seat and drove off. I couldn't stop laughing the whole time.

When I got home that day you could guess what my father did to me because he offended her, but not going to lie it was worth it.

Let me tell you about the day I was accidentally voted prom queen at the school dance. I invited the pack except for Derek because he was in Beacon Hills, and we were enjoying ourselves. A slow song came up and Alison was with Scott dancing, Issac was with Kira (trust in the process) and Malia was with Theo.

I was with Stiles talking over at the table, trying to persuade him to ask Lydia to dance, he kept refusing to dance with her and he said he wants to dance with someone else, I was confused but before I could ask he agreed to ask her to dance.

He was about to walk up to her and ask bit he turned around and tried to get away it I stopped him and faced him to Lydia then I walked back to my original table watching it go down. Yes, it did hurt a bit but it's okay. I then saw them walk to the dance floor and started to dance.

I was on my phone for the night until my sister came over to my table and started talking about how I didn't have anyone to dance with and that I was lonely, but then Stiles came over and asked me to dance, but before I could answer he said great and dragged me on the dance floor.

He told me that he and Lydia overheard the conversation and they both agreed that I should dance with Stiles. He told me he wanted to dance with me anyway so we could all have fun so it was a win-win for him. Then the slow music turned off and the DJ was talking about prom king and queen, but I didn't care it was going to be Josie.

The DJ announced MG as the prom king which was understandable for his status and then they announced me as prom queen. I could feel the crowd pushing me forward and someone brought me on stage to receive my crown. They put the crown on my head and I looked back to the cheering audience. I knew this was bad, I started to have a panic attack on stage but no one noticed.

Scott and Stiles were cheering too until they noticed my panic attack, they looked at me and I moved my head side to side saying no as I'd I was horrified. I was frozen on stage, but then Stiles ran on stage and grabbed me to get off stage and Scott followed as we went outside. I broke down into tears scared of the outcome of me winning, Stiles still never let go of me he embraced me in a hug the whole time.

That night I stayed at Scott's house, I had extra clothes from the past nights, so I didn't need to go back to school. I took off the crown and stepped on it. Before I stayed the night at Scott and we were still at the school, I siphoned magic from the school and set fire to a tree.

I was in so much trouble when I got home. I truly did hate my life, but every time I hang out with the pack it reminds me of why I don't want to commit suicide.

There is no escape from my life other than the pack, and I am so grateful for them.

Time has passed by and they have officially been in Mystic Falls for seven years. After a lot of persuasion, I have convinced my father to go to Mystic Falls high-school this year. I would have to move out and move in with Scott full time and my dad wasn't going to miss a chance for me to move out of the house so he agreed.

I finally settled into my room in the McCall house and I am getting ready for the first day of school tomorrow.

I've never actually gone to another school other than the boarding school. So I was excited and nervous at the same time, but all I know is that I have a pack to help me if I do something wrong.
