Sky

Hi. My name is Skyler Amour Jones, but people just call me Sky. I'm 4'11 and a senior in high school. I'm 17. I'm mixed with black and Mexican.

You can say I've been through a lot. When I was 7 months, my dad left me and my mom. When I was just 1, my mom had her second child (my brother Ky). Ky is like my best friend. I grew up in a very poor neighborhood, and my mom has been there for me and Ky ever since. Well...before she met her new boyfriend. He made her become addicted to drugs when I was about 11. Her "boyfriend" has raped me and beat Ky numerous amounts of times, before he finally went to prison for other personal things I have no clue about. That's when my mom left. I remember the day like it was yesterday; a 15 year old and a 14 year old coming home from school, to see a note saying "Good Luck" with $300 next to it. Fortunately, I already knew about bills and how to save and spend money. On top of that, I was working at my Uncle Stacey's shop. Since then, I've taken care of the both of us with the help of a few of my neighbors. Okay Okay. Enough background.
