I woke up to the sound of my mother yelling at my little sister. She's always been abusive. Well, since my dad left, anyways. I lived a happy life until I reached 5 years old. On my fifth birthday, my dad said he had a surprise for me. He had found me a puppy and told me to run upstairs and play with it. So I did as I was told and played with the puppy for a good 2 hours or so and when I came back down, my mother was sobbing on the couch and had a note in her hand. I just sat on the couch and hugged her. But I can't worry about the past. I've learned to live in the now. 3 years after that happened, my mom married a man named Roy. They had my baby sister, Aaliyah. 2 years after, my mom had an affair and took it out on us. Roy left and my mother learned to not trust men and was abusive towards me and my sister.
I walked downstairs and quietly grabbed a cup of water. I was moving in with my best friend today and didn't tell my mother. I figured sense I'm 18 now, she wouldn't care. I had packed my suitcase the night before and was ready for my friend to pick me up.
About 45 minutes later, my friend called and told me she was out side. I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. My mom had a hangover and was passed out on the couch. I looked at Aaliyah and hugged her.
"Where are you going?" She asked me with worry in her eyes.
"I'm moving in with Y/B/N." I say brushing her hair out of her face.
She looked at me sadly and then back at mom.
"It will all be over soon Aaliyah. Call me if you ever need me." I say, drying up her tears.
She hugged me a final time and I walked out of the door and got into Y/B/N car.

So that wasn't that good. But I try my best. If you haven't noticed, I've deleted my Reggie book. It's because I figured that it wasn't gonna go anywhere and I was going to end up forgetting it anyways but I am going to make a one shot book. So yeah-
