Moments

PROLOGUE

Hi, I'm Emily Taylor Reid. I guess you could say I live a normal life. I go through your average teenage struggles. Oh, by the way I'm 18 in case you were wondering. Well I'm gonna tell you a little bit about who I am.

I live in London with my mom. My mom is what most call a "druggie" cause she tends to take a lot of pills she isn't prescribed and she does meth every once in awhile. People also call her an "abuser". My mom wasn't always this way. She only turned that way after dad died. 

Now maybe I should tell you about my dad. My dad was an alcoholic. He drank day in and day out. I don't remember a time when he wasn't drunk. He was also an abusive alcoholic. There were numerous times when he would lash out on my mom and sometimes me. 

But she stayed with him. Even though he put her through a lot of emotional and physical abuse, she stayed. You would have thought I would have known better than to follow in my parents footsteps, right? 

Nope. I have been dating Justin for 2 years now and when we first dated he was really sweet and probably the most charming guy you could ever meet. Then one day his true colours showed. He hit me. He told he would never do it again and I believed him. I believed every word of it because I love him. He still hits me to this day. He has me convinced that I am nothing, that I will never amount to anything, that I'm basically worthless. Why haven't I left him, you ask? That's because I'm like my mom. I still do love Justin and I know he will get better with his anger problems. 

Did I forget to mention my addiction problems too? Yeah, well what do you know? I turned out like my dad. The alcohol toxins run through my blood almost every night. And at times when my mom is too fucked up to realize... I take some of her pills. I do what it takes to escape. Escape reality. I'm not happy. I'm actually really depressed. I've been put into suicide watch a couple of times now. 

The only person that knows about Justin's abuse is my best friend Carley Thompson. She knows about my addiction problems too but so does my other best friend Liam Payne. They've been my best friends since grade school. I haven't told Liam about the abuse thing cause I know he will flip. I know he will try to hurt Justin or get him put away and I don't want that. Cause once Liam does that Justin will come after me. He's already done that enough considering the pounds of foundation I have to put on so no one sees my bruises. 

I haven't seen Liam much lately. He is in a world famous boyband called 'One Direction'. I really like their music. I'm not gonna lie, it keeps me sane at times. He still talks to me all the time through text and phone calls. And soon enough he'll be coming back from his US tour so I can see him again. 

Well that's basically all you need to know about me. Thank you for listening.
