"Alana I don't think this is working out." Jake said glancing at me with no compassion in his eyes.

"Why, you said you'd always stay." I asked, tears started to brim in the corner of my eyes.

"I just don't think it's working out and I can't handle all the problems you have any more." He said, as he turned on his heels and walked away, I can't believe I spent 3 years of my life with him. I thought he understood my problems, my depression, my anxiety.

'I can't help that I have these problems, my dad died of cancer when I was 7, my mum committed suicide when I was 13 and my stepdad she got with just before she left is an alcoholic, he beats and the worst part is I'm an only child. I'm 15 now and I'm stuck with this man for another 2 years of my life but then I'm good to go.'  

"I'm sorry my life isn't perfect, that I'm not perfect enough for you. " I yelled out as I walked to my only happy place. The place mum, dad and I used to go all the time when I was younger, the only time I was truly happy.

It was this clear lake, no one knew about as it was behind a forest of trees, we owned a cabin there, my stepdad Richard doesn't know of it. Luckily. He would've destroyed my life if he found out about it.
