They thought I'd forget.. But I remembered everything just like it was yesterday. It replays over and over in my head every time I sleep now. The discreet sound of the shots being fired and the heart wrenching screams of innocent lives being taken one by one...
I have two younger siblings, Rachel(5 years old) and Isaac(12 years old). My parents have been divorced for the past 5 years and we live under my mothers supervision even though she's become an addict and plummeted into depression.
Within the past month I've become the mother of the house and have had to drop out of my senior year of high school in order to take care of my family. I was the top of my class and everyone thought my life was just perfect. I had expensive clothing, all the friends a girl could ask for and perfect grades. Little did they know what was truly going on in my life..
Then one day, it just all changed in the blink of an eye. Panic and mass hysteria arose across the globe. An advancement of a disease flourished sweeping the nation infecting everyone in its path. Little did I know, we all would have to turn on one another to survive.
My name is Amber Groves, I'm 18 years old, and this is my life.
