Hi my name is Grace Beck my last name may sound familiar Noah beck well in case you don't know who he is he is a famous tik toker and yeah that's about it well other then the fact he is my older brother he is 3 years older then me I have just turned 16 he moved to La when I was 13 leaving me with our parents. My dad is an abusive alcoholic and my mum is hardly around she comes home occasionally but she is usually in therapy or rehab she has crippling mental health problems. Yeah that's basically my family. Noah moved away to pursue his career in tik tok and left me alone with both of them I am still very mad at him at first we would call occasionally but then he stopped answering he left me when I was most vulnerable my dad beats me up most nights and gets his friends to come in occasionally to help him and my mum doesn't care. I get bullied in school so pretty much my life is a total shit show and I want to kill myself but other then that I am living the dream.

Anyway it was a pretty normal day I woke up and snuck out the house to go to school to avoid any morning beatings I don't think I could deal with more then one beating a day. I walk to school there's not really any other way for me to get there but I don't mind walking it gives me a bit of a line time to think and not be scared of who is going to burst through the door and do something to me.

Once I arrive at school I usually go to my first class pretty early to avoid seeing to many people in the morning I have no friends or anything like that but it doesn't really bother me it just means one less person to hurt me. I used to be best friends with this girl called lexi but then she started hanging out with the popular girls so now she just either completely ignores me or bully's me like the rest of the year. Kind of ironic they all bully me seen as they are always taking about famous tik tokers if only they know them they would all be rushing to be my friend but for the time being I am all alone and I am ok with that I have kind of accepted it at this point.

Lunch time came around and I don't really eat much in general so I don't bother with lunch. The main reason I don't really eat is because we don't ever have food at home so I just became kind of use to it oh and maybe a little bit that the bully's started calling me fat it used to get to me a little bit but now it doesn't bother me. I was just sat in the corner of the dining hall when they all sat around me

Hannah- hey slut
I don't respond to them I haven't yet decide weather it's better to respond or to completely ignore them
Callie- we are speaking to you
Grace- hi
I don't look at them or make eye contact as my eyes are usually puffy from getting beat or sometimes they don't think I look beat up enough so they beat me up more
Lexie- do you want to hang out with us after school
Now I know this sounds stupid and I probably shouldn't go but you know they asked me and maybe they will actually be nice and they actually want to
Grace- wait really
Callie- yeah we are going to the mall
Grace- ok yeah I'll come
Lexi- ok meet us at the front of the school and then my mum can take us
Grace- ok thank you
I am really excited now I haven't really hung out with people in a while and maybe they actually want to be friends maybe I will actually make friends. Even that thought maybe me happy and really excited.

The end of the day came round so I went to the front of the school and saw all of them and they were telling me to hurry up so we can get more time in the mall
Lexi- come on hurry up
Grace- sorry I am coming
We start driving and they are actually being really nice to me maybe they are going to be nice and it is actually going to be as fun as I though
Callie- come on let's go to forever 21 first
Then it hit me I don't actually have an money I basically were the same clothes every day and the money I do have I have to give to my dad to but alcohol and drugs. Great the day I thought was going to be so fun I don't have any money and it is going to be so awkward
Lexi- look how cute this is, this would look so cute in you grace
Grace- oh yes I love it, I'll try it on and see
I'll just keep saying that and not actually but anything. I only got that top the whole time and then we went to the changing rooms
Grace- I don't think I really like it
Hannah- maybe the next shop
Grace- yeah hopefully
I go back and get changed and I hear them laughing I hope it's not about me but if it is it can't be that bad they are actually being nice to. I grab my backpack once I am finished changing and then we start to walk out and the alarm goes off so the security come over
Security- hey girls is it ok if I check your receipts
They all show them there receipts and he checks the bags of stuff they had just bought
Grace- oh I didn't buy anything
Security- ok go ahead
I walk through again and the alarm goes
Security- can I check you backpack please miss
Grace- yeah
He looks through it and then looks at me and grabs my arm
Security- well well well
Grace- what
Security- shoplifting
Grace- what I swear I didn't take anything
Security- your backpack says other wise, come with me we are going to the main office
Ugh those three fake bitches set me up they walked off as soon as I got caught I knew it was to go to be true there was no way they were actually going to be my friends. The security guard walked me down to the office and sat me down on a a chair as he started to type on his computer
Security- name
Grace- Grace beck
Security- age
Grace-16
Security- parents number
Grace- they aren't going to come pick me up
Security- someone has to for me to let you leave
Grace- no one is going to come I am going to be here a while
Security- anyone friends
Grace- nope
Security- should have thought about that before shoplifting
Grace- it wasn't me it was those three fake bitches
Security- the stuff was found in your bag not there's  sorry now follow me
He lead me to a holding cell
Grace- really you are going to put me in a holding cell
Security- I have to until someone comes and picks you up
Grace- no one is going to come so what's on the menu
Security- be quiet and go sit somewhere I have to stay until someone comes
Grace- no one will
Security- stop arguing before I bring the proper police in
After he said that I just stayed quiet it has been about six or seven hours I am now really sure of the time all I know is I am extremely tried and board
Security- no one is coming
Grace- no
I look down
Security- right only this once I will let you go but you are banned from the mall for a year
Grace- ok sorry for wasting your time
Security- it's ok kid I hope things are ok
Grace- thanks
Security- you going to be ok getting home
Grace- yeah I'll be ok
Security- ok stay safe and find better friends
Grace- I'll try
It's like he all of a sudden found a soft spot for me I walked home it was about a thirty minute walk and it was kind of sketchy but what else could I have done.

Once I got home I decided to go through the front door because either way he was going to beat me. I walked through the door and saw him past out with a needle in his arm. It always scared me that sort of stuff but he looked a bit different then usual. I went up to him
Grace- dad
He didn't respond
Grace- dad
Still no response. I tried to feel for a heart beat but it was know where then I tried hearing his breath but he wasn't breathing he was dead. My eyes start watering. Even though he did all that stuff to me I still deep down loved him I started hitting him and screaming
Grace- MUM
The chances was she wasnt going to be here but I was still yelling
Grace- MUM
Then I needed to throw up weather it was from seeing my dad dead or no it was probably seeing my dad dead I ran to the bathroom and then I saw my mum laying there lifeless with her wrists split open and blood all over. I started throwing up and screaming. Even though I hated them both I still loved them and there were all I had and now they are gone. I was still screaming and crying and throwing up when people burst threw the door. It was the police one of the female cops approached me
Cop- are you ok sweetie
Grace- um hmm
Cop- come over here
I went over to her and she immediately hugged me and I started crying
Cop- it's ok you are safe now
She took me out the house and in the cop car and took me to this building that said cps on the side
Cop- I am taking you to some people that will help you ok
I just nodded my head it was like two in the morning and I had just seen both my parents dead. I had tears still dripping down my face so the cop took my hand and we walked into the place and the lady at the desk asked my a few questions like my name, age, relatives which I have none and then the cop took me to a chair and sat me down and said she has to go but she wishes me all the best and to hold on. I gave her one last hug and then she left I just sat on the chair and closed my eyes.
