Erikas POV- this morning I woke up in the same cold house as usual in bed beside my daughter Sarah. Your probably wondering so many things right now, well let me start off my introducing myself. My name is Erika Costell im currently 18 years old and yes that means im a teen mom. When I was 14 I went to a party with my friends and got well ya know.... raped. I ended up pregnant with my daughter after that. Being disowned, shamed, and kicked out of my house with nothing, no food, no money, no house, no safety, no warmth. I was alone and abandoned for something I couldnt control, and your probably thinking "you shouldn't have been drinking" or "you should have stayed home" well the thing was I wasn't there to party really. I was the DD and if you dont know what that is its the designated driver, I was going to stay at the party to make sure my friends didnt do anything stupid and so they didnt drink and drive. And the next point is that I shouldn't have been drinking, well i wasn't I opened a bottle of apple juice, it was completely sealed and brand new from the store, I got to it before anyone else could, I was roofied, some guy distracted me while some guy put something into my drink its more commonly know as the Ecstasy and the 2 main symptoms of this drug is loss of consciousness and memory is what I had, after talking to who I thought was a really sweet genuine guy and sipping on my juice everything blurred and suddenly I was in a bed with the guy hovering over me and thats when i fully blacked out and I dont remember anything else all I know is something just didnt feel right, plus I was a virgin and I knew that I didnt give it up that night willingly. So there I was laying in bed beside my beautiful daughter, shes one of the best things that every happened to me tbh. I brushed the little blond hair out of her face and rubbed her cheek, since we basically have nothing we use each other to stay warm as well as our winter coats and the blanket I took from home. I cover Sarah with the blankets and my coat so she stays warm, I then get up and put on my work uniform, oh I forgot to mention I work in this old diner in the center of town. I let Sarah sleep cause dealing with a moody 4-year-old is no fun trust me. Me and Sarah live in a tiny apartment, cold, dark, creepy. Im a legal adult and that place creeps me out. I barley have any money to take her places so most of the time we go to the park and we play there, or we go to the library... a library card costs money and I dont have the money to buy one so me and her just go when we can and we read books she does some of the coloring sheets that they have there or sometimes we just sit at home with a stack of paper so I can teach her all the basics like how to spell her name, how to hold a pencil, her ABC's, her numbers and all the stuff she needs so im not a total waste of life mom. Some days I dont have enough money to buy food so we go hungry for days and we've even gone a week without food. I always feed her before I feed myself, she needs to have a chance in life. So after getting ready and putting a little bit of cherry chapstick on my lips and sweeping a cheep light pink blush across my cheeks I get into to closet and pick out a cute outfit for Sarah and I then get her up, her dressed and we do our entire morning routine which includes the basics like hair, teeth, making the bed, etc. It also includes us acting like goofballs the entire time, we may not have much but we make it work and we have fun with what we do have. I grab my key and my purse and Sarah's small Barbie backpack and I walk out the door with Sarah following close behind me, I then lock the door and hold her hand as we walk to the diner. We finally get there and of course she runs to the cook his name is Bill he always sneaks her food I think its funny them sneaking around and making jokes, he sometimes even lets her help with the small stuff like handing him the dressing for different salads or different condiments for different things then they give me the plates and I give them to the customers. This morning wasn't busy it was rather slow like usual so we just stood around talking while Sarah sat at the counter and colored in her coloring book while we went over what each color was. Me and Sarah were going over the color green when 2 guys walked in they appeared to be slightly older and the tall, buff, blond guy caught my eye but I quickly snapped out of it, sent Sarah to the back room then grabbed the cold pitcher of ice water then walked over to their table
