Intro

Hello. I'm Aubrey Noel Bree.

I'm 17, 18 in two months. My birthday is February 17.

I'm about 5'8 and have brown hair, and brown eyes.

I sound pretty boring right? Yeah. I am.

I'm also...
Stupid.

Ugly.

Fat.

Worthless.

Replaceable.

and Alone.

I don't cut, I would get slapped if I ever did anything like that.

My real family... dead. So, I am forced to live with a with a foster family. Sherry and Jerry Cannon. I have lived with them for 4 years, 7 months, and 2 days. I know because everyday I have spent with them has been engraved in my Brain.

"How bad can it be?"

I'm afraid to eat.
I'm afraid to go into the wrong room.
I'm afraid to speak to loudly.
I'm afraid to be approached.
I'm afraid to shower.
I'm afraid to sleep.

Fear is like my shadow. Actually, no. It's like my blanket. A smothering, cold blanket.

"Why?"

Everyday I wake up to yelling and a slap to my face. Either Sherry isn't happy because of something I did the night before, or Jerry is in a bad mood. I stay home everyday cleaning up instead of going to school. I'm constantly clearing away Jerry's beer bottles and cans. I have to sweep. mop. dust. wash. and wipe away everything. And I would be glad to do this, but one wrong move, and I'm punished. Severely.

Jerry beats me, a kick to the back or ribs or a punch in the stomach or face are the usual for him.
Sherry tortures me. She slowly cuts long lines down my arms or leaves me locked in the closet for 2-3 days usually. She also uses verbal abuse. I believe her words now, because I AM worthless.

"Why don't you just run away?"

I'm to afraid.

But, I think I will find my courage. I have to. If I want to survive, I have to leave.

My name is Aubrey Noel Bree and this is the story of my life.
