" Hey guys" I said as I walk down the stairs. "Good morning sweetheart, did you put all your homework and all of your books in you bag." my mom said as she poured her self a big mug of coffee. "Yes, I did." I said as I started to eat my breakfast "How about you, Emma?" my mom asked. " Yes, I did it before I went to bed last night." " Good, but you guys are going to be late so Audrey here are your keys and I will take Emma." she said while running to get her keys and mine. We both left and I went straight to school. When I got there, Jace was already there getting ready to torment me again today. I stepped out of my car got my bag and then Jace had to open his stupid mouth. " Hey loser, where did you come from loser-ville." I ran away as fast as I could. I wish that I could tell on him since he was bullying me, but if I did he would call me a crybaby and I am not the type of person to fight back. My best friend Amelia offered to give me a complete makeover, like new wardrobe, teach me how to stand up for my self , but being the person that I am, I had said no. She said that the offered still stood. I still don't think that I am going to do it. After I survived through all of my classes I got my keys and drove home.

When I got home I opened the door to find my mother crying on the couch. " Mom, what's going on, why are you crying?" I said on my way to hug her. " When I came home, I-I went up stairs to take a shower a-and I saw that all of yo-ur fathers." She started to cry even harder. " Stuff w-as gone and I found a note on the counter and it said that he was unhappy and needed a break." She said as she was crying. I started to cry so hard and thinking about how Emma was so young I knew she would cry even harder and I did not want mom to deal with that so I told my mom that I would pick her up and take her to her favorite place so we could eat and the break the news. My mom agreed, I was so furious and that got me thinking.

I decided that I was tired of being the nice girl that can't stick up for herself. I am sick and tired about getting pushed around all the time so I decided to take Amelia up on that offer and I knew that she was going to make me a badass just like she was. I went to go pick up Emma and we went to eat at Burger King. When we got back to the car I told her the news and I could tell that she was furious just like I was and she started to cry like crazy and I cried along with her. " I don-'t understand, why would dad do this to us." She said while she was trying to think of a reason. I have to say for a five year old she's really smart for her age. " To me, he is not my father." I said. I dropped her off at home and told my mom that I needed some time to my self. I went up stairs got all of my clothes and took them with me into my car. I knew that mom would understand that I needed some time to myself because I knew that she needed the same thing.

I went to Amelia's house with some Starbucks for her and me. I walked up to Amelia's room and told her that I was going to take her up on her offer. She gave me my new wardrobe and we got in my car and went to the beach to burn all of my clothes until they were all ashes as I told Amelia what happened. She gave me a big hug and then we went to a salon got some blue hair dye and went to her house. She gave me blue highlights which came out awesome, she gave me some make up and some of her old/new shoes that were my size. She taught me how to stand up to Jace and make him wish that he never even looked at me. And all of his others friends that thought that they were better than anyone else.

I got in my car drove home, ate dinner, took a shower, did my homework, and went to go to lay in my bed, but before doing that, I had to check up on my mom and sister to make sure that they were ok and when I walked in, the tv was on and they were dead asleep. I knew that the talk of the morning would be about my hair but I actually liked the way that it looked on me. I went to lay down in bed, I watched Netflix (pretty little liars), and text my friend Amelia so I could thank her about all of these new awesome changes and show her that I was grateful to her.
