My name is Chloé. I'm your typical 16 year old girl. I think.......

I go to school, I like boys, I obsess over bands, I live life. What's to say I'm not normal? Oh wait there is one thing......

When I was 13 my parents tried to have another baby. When mom was at the end of her 4th or 5th month (I can't remember) she had a miscarriage. She and dad started fighting a lot, arguing whether or not something different could have been done.

Soon, they got divorced my mom started dating and going out to bars every night. She'd come home drunk and I would miss a lot of school because I had to stay home and help her get rid of her hangover. Only for her to do it again that night.

Soon my dad came looking for me because of the custody rights. My mom was so drunk she couldn't take me to dad's house on his weekend and when I asked her about it she would start yelling at me and threatened to hurt me.

I went to my room and started to confide in a blade. It was the only thing

I had left. When I went to school, my friends would ask me what was wrong but I would ignore them or say everything was fine.

Soon, my dad remarried and begged me to move in with him. I agreed and moved across town. That meant that I would be changing schools but if it kept me away from my drunk mother than so be it.
