Lisa felt tears run down her face as she looked at her arms. She was completely covered in scars and bruises. As Lisa was slowly getting ready for school, she couldn't help but remember the pain she went through the night before.

FLASHBACK

'Where's mum? Out getting trashed? Hooking up with some freak? Or both?' she thought, in fear of something happening that she was going to hate.

She walked into the kitchen to grab a can of cola, when she noticed scattered cans of beer and lager all over the countertop. 'Oh, she's already drunk. That's NEVER good.' she thought to herself, steadily walking up to her room.

When she entered her room, she decided to work on her British History assignment. A subject she was excelling at, scoring a near-perfect score in the mock exam she took last semester. BEEP. Lisa's phone went off, informing her that she had a text message.

Logan: Hey Lise, just wondering if you've started your history assignment yet? I'm writing bout the British Civil War. WBU? xx

Lisa was about to reply back when her mother yelled, "Lisa get your ass downstairs NOW!" Her voice was slurred and Lisa heard a man chuckle. She winced and walked down the stairs.

"W-w-what's wrong mom?" she was shaking like a chihuahua locked in a freezer cupboard (AN: I don't know what they're called but its that thing in WOWP that changes into the lair).

"This is my new boyfriend, his name's Robbie." Lisa's face paled as Robbie kissed her mother. Suddenly, Ms Goldstein jumped at her and began to beat her.

"Where-have-your-manners-gone? Say-hello-to-him!" she hissed in between direct blows to Lisa's face and upper body. Lisa tried to speak, but was stopped by a foot hitting her left eye. All Ms Goldstein's 'boyfriend' did was whisper something in her ear; most likely something that would rather be kept a secret. Ms Goldstein chuckled.

"Next time, say hello to Robbie you ill mannered girl!" she ran into her bedroom with Robbie. That was the last thing Lisa remembered before she lost consciousness.

END OF FLASHBACK

A few tears escaped Lisa's eyes, sick and tired of this happening to her. Ever since her dad died, her mother used alcohol as a stress reliever. But things turned worse a couple of months after she began drinking when Lisa acciendently broke a picture frame that had a photo of her mother and father inside. Lisa still has the scar she got from that day. She didn't want to see herself in a mirror, or she would have a nervous breakdown. As she picked up her school bag, she left the house and walked to school.

AN: Just a few things i would like to mention-

I have made three main OC's in this story- Lisa Goldstein, Bridgit Mitchel and Dani Knight. Bridgit and Dani will be mentioned in the next chapter. If you have any comments, please feel free to share them. 

Thanks
