i know it needs to stop. Normal teenagers don't take this shit from their fathers. I know I have sociological problems. I can't get close to anyone. I have no friends because I can't keep them.

I need someone to fall back to. A mentor, a friend, a mother. I don't ask for presents on Christmas, I ask for my mom back.

Life has tumbled out of control ever since she died. Car crash. I was 12. Sucks. Really sucks. Dad takes his pain out on me. I'm just so screwed up inside, I think I can explode.

"Jules, I need you to help me pack for spring break," Veronica asked.

"Why ask for my help?"

"Because I want your advice! Come on." She dragged me out of bed and took me to her room.

Every year my sister and her friends go on a spring break vacation to Myrtle Beach for a few weeks to just, you know, get fucking trashed. Leaving me completely vulnerable to Daddy's wrath.

Veronica doesn't know how often it happens. She thought it was a one time thing.

I wish it was only a one time thing. But these bruises and scars all over my body want to disagree.
