My life was in a downward spiral ever since my parents got divorced. She's been drinking again, but this time she went way to far.

My name is Lacie Hope Smith. I am 16 and my life is a living hell.

Why you might ask? Well I have friends at school but once I get home, my nightmare begins. My parents got divorced 2 months after my 16th birthday. Ever since then my mother has made my life hell (hence the way I describe it).

"Lacie, get down here now!" I heard her yell "I'm coming I have to get my bag." after I said that I finished putting on my lipstick and grabbed my bag running downstairs "what did you want?" I said with a bit of sarcasm "don't get a snobby tone with me I will smack that smirk off of your face."

"I want to see you try." laughing, she spoke up "you think your so bad because of your attitude and the way you dress, let me tell you one thing YOU ARE NOTHING! YOU'RE WORTHLESS! You only have friends cause they feel bad for you."

I stared at her blankly "then let me tell you this YOU'RE a horrible mother, what mother tells her child they're worthless, oh right you! Thanks for the confidence boost mother, I can't even call you that without laughing." and that's when I felt it the sting in my cheek the only expression on my face...shock.

"Just get out of my sight!" and that I did.

(school)

"I don't know how much more I can take Lizzy. This is the fourth day in a row."

Lizzy Marie Horan, my best friend. The only true friend who knows the hell I live in.

"I know Lacie, but you're stronger than her words. How about you come stay with me tonight?"

"Will your brother be home?" she shook her head "not till tomorrow." I smiled "then okay I will."

Later that night, the girls were talking about life when they heard a deep voice "mum,I'm home"

Lizzy looked at me, I looked at her "what happened to tomorrow morning?!" she shrugged " I may have lied a little." she looked at me with pleading eyes "please don't leave."

"I won't maybe this will be a good night."

"Niall your home!" Lizzy yelled running into her older brothers embrace "yes and I brought a guest." and that's when I met eyes with the most gorgeous man I'll ever meet.
