The secret life of April Chaudhry

Chapter 1

           Hi, my name is April, I am 12 years old and I would like to tell you my story. It all starts in May of 2013. My fourth grade year.
          Right after my birthday, which is April 17th by the way, my parents left me and my little sister Alexis, who was 6, with a babysitter named Megan. Megan was awesome. She let us watch tv, eat junky food, and dance around crazy. Megan was only 2 years older than me which made her even more awesome.
          When my parents got home they said they needed to talk to us. We sat at our kitchen table, right in front of our back door but right next to our garage door.
          My mom started the conversation. "Kids, as you have seen your father and I are not getting along as good as we always hoped...", she started. I could clearly see where it was headed.
          I started to see my dad cry and immediately ran over and hugged him. I have always been daddy's little girl. He smiled and I sat back down.
          Once my mom said the words divorce, I started balling my eyes out. My best friend at the time, Sophia, just told me her parents were getting a divorce. I never thought this would ever happen to my family. I thought we would always love each other the same. We still do just in a different way now.
