I am Melanie, people assume that I'm just an ordinary 17 year old girl, but in reality I'm the opposite of what is assumed to be ordinary.

Backstory
I lived with my dad and my little brother. My mom passed away when I was just 3 years old and my brother was only few weeks old, before she passed my family was just a normal family who lived their normal lives.

After she passed, my father became insane, he was sent to a mental hospital, so my aunt had to move in to our house to watch us until my dad was out. My aunt was actually really nice, I grew up with her so she was more like a mother to me.

My dad was out when I was 7 years old. We got to visit him once every two months. It was very different to get to see him every day. When he came home, I wasn't happy, I didn't want him to be back, I was happy with living with my aunt. I assumed my brother tough so to. The next day my aunt was going back home to her old house. Me and my brother said our goodbyes but we knew that we were going to see her again because she is our aunt, my dad thanked her for staying here with us.

My dad seemed normal and back to his own self. Oh was I wrong, the first week of him being back was very nice, he was very kind and was like other dads. Then he started acting a little bit weird but it wasn't noticeable, but then one night I saw him sleeping on the couch with a bottle of vodka in his hand, it was almost empty, I was really scared so I ran back up to my room and fell asleep. The next day, he started being abusive to me, I was crying every night and didn't speak to anyone.

At school the teachers noticed that I had bruises on my face and my arms but I just said that I fell off my bike, they believed me the first times but I think they knew that it was something else. Of course they had to know that, it's not possible that someone can be that clumsy and fall off their bike everyday.
(End of backstory)

Melanie's POV:
And that was my life until I was a sophomore in high school, now I'm a junior and live in a house with two other people. They seem pretty normal but I get this bad vibe from them.
