*Ashlen's POV*
Today I'm 12, but I'm sad... Why?? Because This was the age and day my brother die on my birthday.
*********7 years ago************
"Brother let's go please!!" I said as we walk to the lake.
"Fine! You win!!" Ben said, "It's strange that are family never invites use to go anywhere" Ben mumbles to himself.
*******few minutes later********
As we arrived at the pond ( oh I forgot to tell u that they have swimming suits on) I saw my father, uncle, and our two cousins (they're important in this chapter). I looked around us and there was a greenish lake, my father's van, beer bottles/broken ones, and the tall trees that is surrounding us. "Ashlen, Drake, and James!!!" Ben and my father says. I thought why didn't my father call Ben? As I walked to father. "I'll give you guys some beer if you kill Ben," father says. I was shocked if what he said. My cousins agreed but I didn't. I started to run to Ben, but it was too late. They started to drown him. "No!!" I yelled and started to cry. "If you go near them I'll order them to kill you as well," my father threatened me. I stayed still and watch Ben die in front of me. I cry silently as my father started to cut out Ben's eyes and gave them to Drake and James for a award and some beer as well. My father slap me for not killing him with my cousins. Then they chained him to a cement block. And the worst part is that today was my birthday as well.

Back to the present
As I got to my closet and got out a black and grey shirt, ripped skinny jeans, and black converses. When I was done putting on my clothes I went to the bathroom, and I straightened my dirty blonde hair and brushed my teeth. I got my grey, red, and orange backpack and snook out the door. When I almost got to the door my father beat me to it. "And were do you think you're going!!" my father's voice boomed into my ears. " I my going to school," I said shyly as I was looking at the ground. " Not without your punishment you're not!!" Father yelled to me as he grabbed me by my hair. "Father please stop! Please!!!" I yelled to the top of my lungs. He hu me over and over again. I yelped and I started to cry. I wish this nightmare would end. As he stopped he just walked out of the of the room. I ran out the door. It's another day of school/ Hellhole I thought and I walked to school.
