Upside Down, A Diza Fanfiction

Chapter One: Holding back the Tears

"Hey little diary!

It's your girl Liza, coming at you.

I want to start of by thanking you for being my only friend, even though we barely know each other. Moving from Texas to California has been very tough for me, especially now that my mum is gone. She always helped me with everything, it was easier to fit anywhere when she was by my side. Dad is different, he barely knows he has a daughter since he started dating Monica, thinking she could perfectly replace my mum, but I'm getting more and more convinced everyday, that, she is not even trying... I mean, I understand it at some point, why would she love me more than Erika, my little half sister. At least she has her blood. You can barely tell they are related, she is nothing like her mum, and also one of the strongest reasons I am alive to this day. I think as her as a little angel that my mum sent me, so a little happiness could come into my life again, and it did. I don't hate Monica though.. there isn't any place for hate in my heart, that's what my mum always told me..except for this one person..the man who took her life. The driver of the car that hit my mum's car, causing her to leave me forever.

As I was saying, moving to Cali was hard, everything here is different, and I have no friends, ..not that I had a lot back there in Texas though....

Tomorrow should be a new day for me, it's my first day at my new school. I am supposed to make new friends and to socialize, but I can't.. at least not tomorrow.

5 years ago tomorrow, 15 September 2015, marks the day my mum passed away.. 5 years without her, yes. My heart starts crying every time I remember it, the way my father told me was devastating...and that day was my birthday.

She left me the same day that she had gifted me my life, 12 years ago.

It was pretty tough, and it still is, but I know that she would not want me to be sad, so I always try to hold my tears back, and only rewind the happy moments that we spend together.

I have mixed feelings about school tomorrow, I don't know how it's going to go.

So, that's everything for tonight, thank you so much for being such a great listener.

Little brown girl, is out,

Baiii."
