My life has been full of disappointments and sadness and hurt. That's all I've ever known. Anymore I've become the most depressed 16 practically 17 year old on the planet. Why you may ask?

Let me tell you a little story....

Until I was 10, my life was perfect. But that all changed in the blink of an eye. My parents kept trying for more children, but kept miscarrying during the first few months. Right now I should have 2 other siblings- a brother and a sister Liam and Rebekah around the ages of 4 and 6- but they both died during the 6th month in the womb. Mom tried everything to successfully have another child besides me, lonely old Aubrey, but she was unsuccessful every time.

When I was 12, I begun to notice how my parents seemed to be drifting apart. Then one day, dad left for two days for a business trip but... He never came back.

He... He died in a horrible car accident.

After my father died, my mom tried dating. Then she met the perfect guy when I was 14. They got married when I was almost 15. I thought it would be okay having a stepdad. Little did I know what my perfect stepdad would do to me or my mom.

He was an abusive alcoholic and if he was drunk when I came home from wherever, I would run to my grandma's house a few blocks away for refuge and protection from my loving grandma.

My freshman year I met a boy named Drake. He seemed like the perfect boy, sure he was a bit of a bad boy but I didn't really care. I wanted to fit in in high school. I should've went with my gut and never associated with Drake because not long after we started dating.... He.. He... It still hurts to talk about. I'm sorry, maybe one day I'll be able to talk about it without bursting into tears but..... I highly doubt it.

I was beyond terrified and scared and didn't know how to deal with my sadness and pain so I began cutting to numb it.

Now I'm so beyond gone and so beyond depressed that I don't want to be in this world. My grandma's gone, she died almost a year ago. I have no rock, no shield. Nothing to protect me. No grandma. I've just got a broken heart and a sad story.

A shattered, broken body and soul. 😭

A/N sorry for that depressing Prologue. I didn't mean for it to be that depressing but then I decided I REALLY wanted a good plot line.. Anyways it's midnight and I'm tired goodnight everyone. Ch1 will be posted sometime soon, I promise. Love you all muah 😘❤
