Adopted By Andy Biersack & Juliet Simms

You know, I never really thought about who would adopt me and my sister. Actually, I only really thought about my sister. Taking care of her, helping her, being there for her. Protecting her.. 'Cause my sister is going to be three and I'm about to be sixteen. I know big age difference, whatever. She's still my sister.

Hello, my name is Aisling. And my little baby sisters name is Ashley, or Ashleigh.. Yeah, it's Ashleigh. But the way it's said is said 'Ashley.'.

Now, right now me and 'Ashley' are sitting in my room. Ash's room is right beside mine, but since she's three - and me being her only family left - the social worker insists that Ash stays with me. So I take care of her, be the mom that left us by dying in a car crash. You see, me and my whole family were going to Seaside, Oregon by car, we were on a highway and my mom was driving, our stepdad - who was a little verbally abusive - was sitting in the passenger seat. Ash was sitting in her car seat and I was the back beside my other sister Cassie, my little brother Tom beside Ash. A big bus had lost control and was swerving, causing other cars to stop and we were turning on a corner rather fast. I had blacked out, so I don't really remember much. I remember police and ambulance sirens, being gently pulled out, and a light being shone in my eye.

'Is m-my.. Family.. O-okay?' I remember croaking.

'I'm not sure. Just relax as much as you can, your going to be fine..." An ambulance guy said. I blacked out the next I was being pulled out and into the hospital, I saw Ashley's small being unconscious.

'A-Ash? Ashley?!'I said, Ashley opened her eyes and saw me.

'Aiwing!' Ash cried, I held a hand out for her. She was crying from pain, she had tons of scratches on her face, her nose was bleeding, her stomach area was bleeding - meaning broken ribs. I remember she had two broken ribs and one cracked. And lots of bruises

I had a punctured lung, a head injury, minor scratches, and a bruised nose, I remember having lots of bruises.

I was fourteen, and Ash was just two. Two fucking years old, it's a miracle that Ash is still alive...
