here we go chapter one :) Hope you enjoy the characters and story.*

*******************************************************************************************************************************

Sometimes I had this feeling that my life was different, that I was different. My mom told me it was a teenage thing, that I was in the process of "Finding myself". I of course don't believe her, because normal teens go to public school, normal teens can hang out past 8 o'clock, and normal teens can remember when they were young!

For some reason my mom home schooled me and kept me home alot because she believes the world isn't safe and it will corrupt me. She is crazy sometimes, espcially when I catch her off guard with a question. Like for instance, why I dont remember anything from my child hood? She looked at me for a few moments, then said "You fell alot, maybe your head is a little off?" She had a hopefull look that I would just drop it, so I did. Getting information out of her was useless.

Its the day before my 18th birthday and I have been waiting for this for years! For the freedom to leave and come back whenever I wanted to! To finally be able to meet people and start a life, maybe even college.

I Do have friends, a couple I met in town while shopping with my mom. They cant come over, another rule of my moms but I get to go over there sometimes. One of my friends just happens to be my boyfriend but my mom doesnt know that...yet. She was always saying that it was safer for me to be single. That she thought having a boyfriend may cause me problems in the future, whatever that even means. I wrote it off as one of her wierd rants, and started dating Sean.

He is perfect for me, and completely patient. I know it would be hard for someone to only see their girlfriend every once in awhile but I text him every day! I also try to skype but my mom doesnt approve...dangerous....so I have to do that at night when she is asleep.

My mom was in the kitchen making a cake and all that stuff while she made me stay in the living room.

"Its a surprise!" She yelled to me when I whinned for the 15th time.

"But mom I'm 18, doesnt surprises end now?" I mumbled as I walked toward the kitchen to see my mom stuck in pause. she was standing by the stove with her oven mittens on frozen. I made a little cough to announce my entrence

"You are 18 now arnt you.." She whispered as if clarifying with herself. Her eyes suddenly shift to me looking me up and down like she didn't believe it.

"Yea duh? Did you really forget how old I was!" I  pounted and faked a hurt face.

"Its just time really flew, I didn't realize" Her face look almost afraid as if me becoming 18 was her worst nightmare. It was wierd seeing her like this, she was usually always happy espcially when she was baking.

"Mom it will be okay, I'm not going to just drop dead" I started to laugh and her head snapped up to me.

"Dont ever say that, you wont die!" her eyes were popping out and her face looked crazed. I just started to notice her eyes looked blood shot, and there were bags under them. Her hair hadn't been brushed and she was still wearing sweat pants. She looked opposite of her usual self. Something was wrong.

"Mom whats wrong" I said firmly and narrowed my eyes. She usually always hides her feelings when she is upset so I have to play bad cop to get it out of her.

"Nothing, I just don't like hearing the word die come from you" She breathed out and slightly relaxed her shoulders. I forgot I was all she had for family, I used a bad choice of words.
