It happens a lot. The yelling, the breaking of things, the attention you get from other people. We leave but are forced to come back so it can repeat again in the future.
I'm Skylar Lynn. I was born into a fucked up world that we call planet earth. It's where heartbreak, betrayal, pain, starvation and many more heart wrenching things take place.
I live in a small town in the dab center of oklahoma. Where nothing exciting happens unless you make it happen.
As I was saying I was brought into this world 17 years ago by my mother(obviously). I was raised until I was three by only my mother because my so called 'father' didn't think he could handle a kid at 19, that I might add. When I was about three and a half, my mother met a guy that she says she loves. I can remember him being nice for the first couple of years. Always taking us to the park or for ice cream. By the time I turned 10, my mother just had a baby boy that she named Lane. He had blonde hair and brown eyes unlike me. I had long brown hair and bright green eyes at the time. Now my eyes don't show much brightness to them because of the childhood I lived through drained all of the life from them.
A while after I turned 10, My mother married the man she 'loved'.Months after their marriage my step father began to drink.
He would drink and drink like there was no tomorrow. Which could only lead to....
Violence.
He would attack my mother and me but I wouldn't let him get to Lane. No matter what. I was going to protect Lane.
7 years of fighting, bruises, broken things from around the house, many many attempts of leaving but always coming back and now here we are in the middle of our living room thrashing it out again. But this time I had a feeling in my gut...it won't end well....
