I'm not the same

Untitled Part 3

Freshman year. Going in to school I was prepared and excited, fresh start, no one knows me, new friends, and new teachers. My mom got me 2 puppies, a German shepherd and a Siberian husky (Toby and Sadie). My siblings love Sadie more than Toby so I gave Sadie to them as a gift and I kept Toby. I can't bring Toby or Sadie to my dad's so when we go, my mom puts them in a "dog hotel" thingy ( I don't know the proper name).

Sophomore year. I hated this year, my best friend moved away and I was left alone. Most of my teachers hate me and my dad.... he's worse on his drinking. He usually drank about 5 bottles of beer and 9 cups of anything else. Now it's 20 beers and 30 cups of anything else. Also, my step-mother's pregnant with triplets, and acting like a mother instead of an evil bitch, treating us better and actually caring for us. My dad just kept torturing me, which is why I wanted to run, but instead, he grabbed me and beat me. I'd come to school with bruises and black eyes and all but 1 teacher didn't care. She wasn't married and lives with her parents. When I told her that I had to go to my father's place she called my mom seeing if I could go home with her instead. She claimed that it was for help on our exam coming up and I didn't understand any of it, which was true in some way.

Junior year. I was pretty happy this year, I got the same teacher who had helped me the year before and now we're like sisters. She makes my black eyes and bruises (on my arms) look like they're not there. She treats me like a person, not an item you own. My father's outraged that I don't come over because he knows what's going on with the teacher. One day, we had a hard lock-down because he came into the building with a gun and knife. When the police came, they took him and me for questioning. I told them EVERYTHING - how he abuses my siblings and me, he sexually abused me and mentally abused my siblings. They arrested him and charged him with 9 months in prison for sexual assault & child neglect.

Senior year. Hardest start ever, my mom had to give one of us up for adoption and it was my baby sister, Zoe (Zoie). She was going to a good home, I visit her every weekend and take her on trips with our brother, Cody (yes I got the weird ass name). We also had to put Toby down because he got cancer and it was spreading too fast and we didn't have the money to pay for the surgery. But my step-mother bought me another German and had her two baby girls and baby boy, Sapphire, Scarlet, and Lucas. I named my German shepherd Beau (Bow). He's my prince and Sadie's my princess.
