She walks in. "Oh cute dog and nice place," she says while looking around. "Why did you come?" I say "Hey what's your deal?" She says while looking at me"You weren't even there for like half of my life, so why now?" I say

Aurelia: 7 years old
(Sister is Michelle)The house
A door opens and Aurelia's sister walks in "Hey Aurelia" she says while walking in "Hey sissy!" Aurelia says with a smile on her face.
Michelle goes to sit on the couch with Aurelia. "What are you watching?" Michelle asks "Some kid show," Aurelia says "You always act so grown, Aurelia," She says in a kinda sad tone. "Is that bad?" Aurelia looks at Michelle.
"No not at all" Michelle says "Well ok," Aurelia says while turning her head to watch tv
"Well I got to leave again," Michelle says "Wait what? You just got here!" Aurelia says with a frown on her face
Michelle didn't respond and left. That's when she had never come back. No one knows why or where she left, but she did come back
—reality—
"I don't want you here," I say "Why not," Michelle says while sitting down on my couch. "Go leave like you did that last time. You left me with abusive parents." I start to yell "Aurelia I'm sorry" Michelle doesn't say it like she's sorry
"Anyways.." she opens a cabinet "Shitt you got tons of alcohol," she says grabbing one. I go to her and grab it out of her hand "Do not touch those" I put it back in and close it
"Ugh alright." She says while rolling her eyes "Get out and leave I don't want to see you here again" I say "Wow well ok you've changed" Michelle says
I push her outside and close and lock the door on her "Hey seriously?!" She shouts. She got annoyed enough to leave luckily. I don't want to see her again.
I go to the cabinet and grab a bottle of alcohol. I go to my couch and sit down, I turn on my tv and I start to drink it.
Casper was sleeping.
I fall asleep with it in my hand. I woke up from my alarm on the counter.
Ugh... I feel horrible
I look down and it's spilled all over me
"Damn IT!" I yelled. Casper ran right to me when he heard I was awake. "GOD why am I such an idiot" I scream... "I have to take a shower" I sighed...
I get up and go in the bathroom Casper follows behind me, once I am in the bathroom I take my clothes off and turn on the water to the perfect temperature.
After I am undressed I get in. Casper sits in the bathroom while I take a shower.
Shit... Work.
I forgot about work. I quickly got out and got dressed. I had to call in sick again. I wasn't feeling right
I called my mom
She picked up "Hello?" I said, "Yes what do you need- wait why aren't you at work?" She says yelling a little bit "I cannot answer that, but please can you take Casper for a couple of days?" I say without a reasoning
She's quiet for a second. "Hunny? Are you alright" she says concerned.. "please come just for a couple of days," I say, she hangs up and I know she's coming.
The reason why I am giving Casper to my mom is that I can't take care of him right now, my mental health is horrible I can barely feed him.
I am not letting my dog live like this, he doesn't deserve this.
After 22 minutes my mom barges through the door
"Why don't you have it locked?!" She screams "Oh hello mom" I'm sitting on the couch. She sees me and quickly goes over to me "you don't look good" she puts her hand on my face.
I push it off "please take him and go, feed him please just make sure he gets enough attention." I say "Aurelia stop, you're worried about your dog too much," my mom says "MOM I am TRYING TO WORK ON MYSELF... just please take him so I can." I scream at her
"I understand." She goes around taking whatever she needs for him. After she's done I have him all the kisses goodbye "Bye Aurelia" my mom says while walking out the door
I already miss him but, he can't live like this anymore, barely fed, no love, and like I'm always sleeping so really no company.. until I get better he needs to stay with my mom...
I get up and go to the bathroom... I grab aspirins... I take 1... temping to overdose.
I can't .. but... will I?
