Aspen: The Darkages

Chapter 2: 4 years old

The first house I remember living in, would be a small, 2 bedroom, rundown, green house. I remember it being behind a school, but I can't remember which one. We lived there for a while, 8 months maybe. Then my mom had had enough with her boyfriend, and we moved back to my grandmothers.

I don't like him, my mothers boyfriend. I never liked him. He was tall and scary looking. He had a small stubble beard that went into a mustache, and he always acted weird around us. I'm pretty sure he was on drugs, but I was too afraid to ask.

My mom has mentioned being a drug addic around that time too, so I assume that he was. He always looked oddly tired. Like the tired you get after sleeping for too long. He was weird, and always tried to pick me up from preschool, but I asked my teacher to not let him. He scared me.

I found out later on that he had tried too molest my sister, LouLou, and thats why we left him.

After we left him, he took Max and Nolan. He refused to let me or my sister visit them, which hurt, because maxy and I were so close. My father had also come to pick up Cece, Lynn, and Lj. And their mom hated me, so I haven't seen them in years.

But we had nowhere to go, so we were forced to move in with my grandmother. Thats when my cousin started abusing me.

He is several years older than I am, and much bigger. So there was no fighting back on my end. This went on for awhile, but then he got tired of it, and started molesting me instead. The sad part, was that it was just loulou and I now. So max or Cece couldn't stand up for me.

And my sister has always pretended to be protective of me infront of others, but to be honest, she would smack me, or shove, or knock me down whenever I would get on her nerves, so I know she doesn't care. She's let her friends laugh and mock me for who my father is, and she only laughed with them.

I had come to my sister when my Cousin, we'll call him Andy, started to hurt me. She assumed that I was lying, and quickly brushed it off. That hurt, probably more than it should have. I just remembered how Cassadee would treat me so kindly, almost like I were her own kid. But my sister has always hated me. I'm not entirely sure why.

Hiiiii!!

The next chapter will probably be about my experience living with my grandmother, and what happened with my 2nd grade teacher. It is very upsetting to me that she is still a teacher, so it will probably be biased. Also, just a heads up, it wasnt just me, or members of my family. She did this to, which is why it irritates me so much.
and please excuse the late updates! I'm doing my best, but my math teacher is loading us down, and it's exhausting!!
