When Life Brings You Down

I have been following the famous Tom Holland for a while now, checking his instagram all the time, seeing his events and more. I'm dying to meet him, see him, anything. Until yesterday I was finally happy. I was coping with life. I know everyone says "Life sucks, you just have to deal" but trust me, they don't get it. 

At 3 years old my younger sister was born and it was great. Fast forward 2 years later my father got lung cancer and had to take a lot of medication, and my sister was diagnosed with dyslexia. My mother had trouble taking care of a 5 year old and 2 year old by herself along with dealing with the love of her life dangling by the narrow thread of life. At 7 years old my father passed, causing my mother to fall into depression. Soon after she became a drug addict and drunk. I took care of myself and my sister especially with her studies, but money was hard to come by.

Some days we would go with a single meal, other days kids would lend us some of their lunch which was very kind. (A/N ppl be good, give kids your lunch when they are in need, its not that hard, you can do it, they might need it more than you!) At around 13  I discovered Tom Holland through watching the impossible. I was impressed by his acting and started following him in his career then.

We lived in a rough neighborhood in a poor community with schools that shouldn't exist. Drug addicts left and right to sex happening in lockers. It was a messed up place. First month of freshman year I was tricked, and ended up loosing my virginity. At 14. I wouldn't consider it a rape because of me giving consent prior, I was dumb. One thing that I promised myself is no drugs, or alchohol. After seeing my mom I was traumatized and wanted nothing to do with her. 

I was angry because she didn't supply money for her family but bought cases of beer, boxes of opium, heroin and morphine. I hated her for what she did to us so I did everything in my power to keep my sister and I out of the house. (A/N never said names so the main character is Ashley and her sister is Brook, her mom is Angeline)

But then it was yesterday. Yesterday was the worst day of my life, I would never relive it. I spent years with her, and then she died. She was kidnapped, raped, and killed. It was horrifying. My 16 year old sister was murdered.
