Giddy ~ GD

Chapter 1 - Tormenting

If you're not interested in learning about the main character (IDK why) skip to either chapter 3

I've never understood why I was naturally given a substandard life.

First, it was the divorce. My mother and father fought for the majority of their time being together. It was always something about how my birth giver needed to stop her alcohol problem. She was coming home with red, puffy eyes, full of disappointment and misery. Her hair was tied up into a bun when she vomited in the kitchen sink, gagging away her worries and sorrows.

But they always came back. She repeated this every day. The abuse happened, even. I can't find words to describe what my mother was doing to herself. Questions floated throughout my head. Why can't I help? What makes her do this? Is it because of me? Am I a mistake?
I got scared. Too scared to the point where I was never home, not being able to support my helpless mother.

My dad gave up on her too. Divorce papers filled our apartment, scattered around near the empty beer bottles that were drowned down by her.

Within a few months, she killed herself before being arrested for child abuse. It was mostly a blur to me since I became very anti-social within that time period. As soon as she was gone and we were free, and dad moved on fast.

Two months flew by, and my dad had already brought a new woman into the Sterne household. Victoria Ullman. She sure had the charm. She came home every night with my favorite meal, pineapple pizza. We talked for hours about the things that seemed the most boring in life, yet she made it interesting. She was opinionated, ambitious, and outgoing. My dad was in love with her.

Things sped up quickly between the two, and Victoria Ullman became Victoria Sterne. She was wealthy, bringing our penniless family to a close. We moved into a huge lodge near the mountains, where I was soon introduced to her son, Matthew, who was just around my age.

Matthew and I didn't get along that well, but Victoria was always by my side to pick me up. She introduced me to Matthew's female friends, where I met my best friend in the entire world, Florence Hedley. She was a younger version of Victoria, she always looked at the positive and kept moving forward.

Months flew by. I attended an Ivy-League private school, where I quickly made great friends. My world seemed perfect. I even won a boyfriend in the whole package too. He was sweet, yet cocky, but my juvenile young self, didn't mind.

Everything seemed to be perfect.

I was wrong.

My cocky boyfriend, Josh, became embarrassed by my past and ended up cheating on me. Matthew came out as gay, and my dad was horrified, and he went insane. Victoria disapproved of my dad's actions, and they began bickering. Bickering turned into fighting, which turned into physical fighting.

I still had Florence and Matthew. Us three managed to have a strong firm on a great friendship.

I wanted to wash all my worries away, just like my mother did. I went to a party. Florence was skeptical about going, but once she heard her crush was intending on making a move on her, she jumped to the idea. Matthew was pumped too. As I was leaving the house, I could hear Victoria crying from her bathroom, and my dad's car driving away. This happened on the daily, and I didn't want to ruin a good night. I closed the door behind me, leaving a deserving woman for a night that would destroy me.
