Letting You In

1.Trapped

     1.Trapped

     Alcohol, I've always hated it. Its taken everything away from me from the very start. It was two weeks before my 10th birthday, when I lost my parents. They weren't alcoholics, they were good people. Loving people all I could ever ask for growing up. Two weeks before my birthday they died, drunk driver caused a head on collision and they died on impact.

     I'll never forget that day, I was waiting expectantly for my mom to pick me up, from school. She never came, instead a social worker came and explained the situation. I was instantly filled with grief. I felt as though my entire world crumbled in that instant. I didn't cry , I was numb but I could feel my entire heart shattering. I had no one my parents didn't have family. I was alone. I was trapped, without an escape.

     Two years later, I had another shot at life. Two years later, I had a flame ignite within me. Two years later, I felt something I hadn't in a long time. That one thing was hope. I had my first interview with possible parents at the foster home. I finally had an escape.

     There's name were Michael and Lucy Reed. They gave me my second shot at life. They were your modern day Barbie and Ken. Michael had the all around charming personality, but could still be serious if needed. He ran his own law firm, so he and Lucy had it all. Except a baby, due to an accident Lucy had at a young age, she couldn't have kids. Even though she would make a great mother. Lucy had a heart of gold. A smile that left many in a trance, and a personality you could never forget. But, she couldn't have kids, that's were I came in. They adopted me that same day. They adopted Ariel Sanchez, a girl who was only a shell of her former self.

     Over the years Lucy and Michael re-built my once numb heart. Instead of being shy and quiet how I used to be, I became very out-going and stubborn. Just like Lucy. Life was great I felt as though I was on top of the world. But, of course once I feel as nothing can knock me down, something does. Life knocked me off my feet, with Lucy's death.

     Devastation. I was devastated at 15 losing the person closet to me tore me up inside. But, being blamed for it broke me. That last person in the world I thought would never turn on me, turned on me. Michael.

     Lucy's death killed the man I once knew. He was replaced by and shell, of his former self. He only felt two things anger, and hatred, He hated me, the man I once considered a father hated me he blamed me for it all. He thought that if Lucy, wasn't so worried about me, she would have went for her check ups. The doctors would have caught the tumor, before it grew and caused her brain to swell. Leading to her death, if she would have had surgery she would have been fine.

     Nothings ever fine, well at least not for me. Lucy's death, and Michael's betrayal broke me. I retreated back into my shell. While, Michael turned to booze, for his coping method.

      Which ended up leading, to my body numbing beatings I would receive, from Michael.
