Why me? Why now?

The beginning

ANNE'S POV
"ANNE, TIME TO GET UP!" My mom shouted. I groaned as I got up and stretched. I was greeted by my black veil brides poster. I got up and walked to my closet. I stood there groggily looking over my closet. I finally decided on a black veil brides fitted t-shirt, a dark red skirt, fish net tights, my black boots with chains on them, and my black and dark red striped arm glove. I also chose a black headband with a skull on it.

I quickly did my makeup and put in some skull earrings. After I was done, I ran downstairs for pancakes. I was greeted by my older sister talking on the phone. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm emo. My sister is a cheerleader. We don't exactly get along.

" oh great, Anne just came down. I know! I'm totally embarrassed to have her as a sister! She's EMO! She's wearing that ridiculous shirt and tights again! Ugh!!" Don't worry, I don't let it bother me. Mom smiled at me. She understands me better. She used to be emo, so she helps me with my look. It's awesome!

" honey you look great! Although, a little dark red lipstick never hurt anyone!" She pulled out a tube and handed it to me. I put it on and showed her.

" great! It's perfect! Tiffany, you should hurry up. Your practice starts in a half a hour." She gasped and hung up te phone. She grabbed her pink bag and put on her pink fuzzy flip flops. She stunted out the door, almost forgetting her Pom poms.

" ugh, I can't stand her. Too much pink and brightness. And the music! Who else likes Justin bieber?!" My mom chuckled. Her phone rang and she looked at who it was. Her smile disappeared and she went into another room. I already know who it is.

When I told my family I was emo, my dad didn't take it too well

Flashback
" So, I wanted to tell you guys something." I said nervously. My sister raised a eyebrow, my mom looked up from her laptop, and my dad stared me down. Well, I gotta say it now.

" I'm emo."

The room fell silent. My sister got up and went to her room. My dad looked overly pissed. My mom, however, didn't look any different. She smiled and looked at me.

" honey, whatever you are, I will always love you. When I was your age, I was emo too!" I smiled, until my dad got up.

" why?" Is all he said. I was confused. He looked at me in anger. He roughly grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his and moms room and locked it behind him. I was scared.

" WHY ARE YOU EMO?! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE TIFFANY!" He screamed. I don't see why he's mad. Emo isn't that different from other people.

" well, I've always liked the idea of it. I like black, dark colors. Also liked the idea of making my hair blue or something li-" before I could finish, he slapped me. He was angry now.

" no! I will punish you! If you ever turn into one of those, those, DEVIL WORSHIPERS I will PUNISH YOU!" I was crying. I'm surprised he hasn't been in my room or noticed me at school.

" well, I've already turned into one. I change at school, I was afraid of you reacting like this." I said in a whimper. He grabbed my wrist and slammed me on his bed. He tied my wrists together. He lifted my shirt to reveal my stomach. He grabbed his belt.

" James, if you hurt her, I will divorce you!" My mom screamed from the other side of the door. He smirked.

" consider it done" and he struck my stomach. He kept whipping me. I screamed in pain. He decided it wasn't a good punishment I guess, because he stopped. He threw the belt in the corner. He went to his closet. He came out with a actual whip with nails at the ends. He struck me and I screamed.

He hit me pointless times. My stomach was bleeding massively. Before he could whip me again, the door fell down and the police came in, kicking my father down. My mom rushed in, untying my wrists, which was also bleeding. She rushed me out of the room when my dad kicked the police and started running towards me.

The police took out a taser and tased him. The ambulance came and ran towards me. I was barely walking. They rushed me to the hospital. My dad screamed in the night.

" I WILL FIND YOU!"
_______________
That night, I had countless stitches, and have the scars to prove it. In the end, my mom divorced him, and got a restraining order. He ended up in jail for Child abuse. The lawyer calls to check up on us. He was at the scene. He immediately wanted to work with us. He surprisingly does it without pay.

He has a daughter that's like me. She's awesome. Apparently, her mom freaked out too when she came out. He then, divorced her, became a lawyer, and now is looking for a woman that accepts his daughter. My mom wants to meet a man like that too.

I'm friends with his daughter. Her name is kimmi. We shop for cloths together. She introduced me to black veil brides. We've done everything together. We're like sisters you could say.

My mom comes into the kitchen all happy. She looked at me. I sigh.
" well, spit it out" she squeals.

" Mr. Johnson asked me out on a date!" I gasped. He's our lawyer. I squeal with her. If they get married, kimmi could be my step sister. Yes!! I rush out the door, saying goodbye to my mom, to meet up with kimmi. I saw her and sprinted to her.

She saw me and ran to me. When we met up, she gasped.
" guess what guess what?!" She said. I already knew what she was going to say.
" your dad and my mom are going out on a date!" I squealed. He hugged and hopped up and down. She let go of me.
" not only that, but my dad plans to propose!"

We screamed and hopped. My dream was coming true! We were going to become step sisters!
