Livin' Life in the Eyes of Others

Chapter 2

Earlier I said this story is told by Society, but, of course I'd put in my explanation. The real answers.

With that being said, lets begin.

I'm Scarlet. I'm a blonde with hazel eyes. I'm skinny maybe a lite underweight for my age, but here's the reason I'm underweight, told by Society.

'She's underweight because she starves herself. All she wants is attention, people to feel bad for her.'

WRONG!

Did you ever think 'maybe she's not getting fed at home.'

My mom. I don't even think I can refer to her as that so let's just call her... *S1. I'm going to think of some words to describe S1.

Druggie
Alcoholic
Hateful
Abusive

And those are only a few of many.
So let me describe to you why I chose these words and how it relates to my underweight figure.

A druggie. Definition. "A drug addict" That's my mom. Tell me how am I suppose to eat when all the money I make is stolen and spent on drugs. So there's problem one.

An Alcoholic. Definition. "A person suffering from alcoholism"
About the same reason as a druggie. You gotta buy it somehow. One thing about S1 is that she's not a thief, hard to believe, I know.

Hateful. Definition. "Filled with hatred" The reason she is towards me? I have no idea. Maybe because my dad walked out on her. But you know what I'm not mad at him for leaving. I'm mad at him for leaving me here. With her. My mom thinks I'm fat so when I asked why I don't eat regularly she responded with "You're fat and ugly. There's nothing I can do about you being ugly but, at least you won't be fat too."

Abusive. Definition. "Using or involving in emotional and/or physical violence." This one is pretty self explanatory, but i'll spell it out for you anyway. Abusive and hateful go together. I had a sister. But she's gone now. She committed suicide at 14 years old. I found a note and her in the bathroom with an open bottle of pills, empty. When I showed S1 her suicide note her response was "took her long enough" I then proceeded to take her to the hospital while my mom was getting high.

I'm not blaming S1 at all but I'm not taking the blame for myself either.

Heyy! Daisy here. I hope you liked it even though it's super short. I'm just going into detail of all of Scarlet's imperfections told by Society and explained by Scarlet. She has a few more which will be in named in the future chapters. The previous chapters are in third person. I'll have a few more third person chapters and then I'll go back to first person in future chapters.

*S1 stands for Society 1. S1 is aka Scarlet's mother. I chose this because Scarlet doesn't consider S1 as a mother.

If you're confused don't hesitate to comment down below and I'll explain more!

Next update is Wednesday.

Oh if you were wondering the little intro at the beginning is the story not an author's note! It's actually part of the story!

P.S
It'll get more romantic in the next few chapters when I start writing in first person again!
