The first thing I see is my mom passed out on the couch. It really isn't a surprise to me. The bottle of wine next to her just proved my theory right. Since my dad died in a war, my mother became an alcoholic. Rafe took all his sadness and turned it to anger towards my mother. So everyday, you'll except screaming and yelling from my house. They both try really hard to be nice role models for me, but I already know the truth. Last year for my birthday, I got a puppy. But my mom killed him while she was drunk. Rafe never comes home. For all I know he might be in Canada. The only person I trusted was my dad. He always knew if I'm sad. I miss him so much. If he were here, mom wouldn't be an alcoholic, Rafe wouldn't always be gone, and I would still be happy. But now, I just fake it. Meeting Tyler was the only time I felt actually happy and I lost it. Of course, he ' a 'girlfriend. Nobody that hot wouldn't be single, I hoped. I went to my room and changed into my blue sweatpants and white tee shirt. I opened my closet and pulled out 'Electric'. That's what I've decided to name my guitar. Playing Electric always made me feel better. After playing, I listened to music. After that, I went to the kitchen, and ate like the fat ass I am. Then I turned on the tv and watched 'Mean Girls'. My mom woke up and asked," How was school today sweetie?."

"It was fine.", I lied.

She smiled and went into her room. I covered my face with my blanket and cried. Where was dad when I mostly needed him? I need his love.

The rest of my family's love is dead.
