Hello, my name is Aria Rose Johnston. This is all very strange to me, but I guess I'll give this a go...
I am 17. I live with my grandfather, Ed. My mother, Caitlin too. My father is gone, never heard of again after he heard of my existence leading to my mother's depression and alcoholism. At age 3 I was taken away from her because of it. Sent away to live with my traditional grandparents Sarah and Ed. High expectations from the get go. At age 9 my grandmother, Sarah was diagnosed to be dead within 6 weeks. But it came sooner. After that day my mother forced herself back into my life. Not taking no as an answer. My grandfather adjusted to having her back. But I could still see she hadn't changed from when I was 3.
As years went by it all came creeping back like a friend that you could just not forget. Day after day, night after night I would see less of my mother as the dark shadow called alcohol took over her body once again. This time stronger than ever before. Leaving no strength left in her to fight it away. Leading her to death at age 38 when I was 16.
So now it's just me and Ed. But I can see our old friend death isn't finished with us... just yet.
