Ashton woke up and heard screaming. He ran down stairs to see his mom on the floor with his dad hitting her. Ash goes and removes him off of her. The dad he never knew ran out the door. His mom was bleeding but she was okay.

He woke and remember that  was just a memory. Ashton sees his mom sound asleep. He woke up and it's 4:30. He gets ready to go to his first job then he catch the bus to school.

Ashton never has time for lunch. He doesn't eat he goes to a subway and work for an hour. Ashton goes back to school. "Shit." He says as the bell rings. Ashton smiled because he got through another day. He now leaves for his favorite job, the Library.

He make a total of 150 today which is enough for food but his family needs more money for the house. He told my mom about him working three jobs. His mom was beyond angry. She felt like a failure because she couldn't even fend for her own family.

Anne said to Ashton, he had to pick one job because three was way to many for a high school junior. So Ashton ended up choosing the library. He told his mom the Library gave the most.

Ashton used to have so many friends. He was never alone. One day he decided to tell his best friend he was gay. Everything went downhill for Ashton since the day everyone found out in sixth grade. The whole school thinks they know all of Ashton's secrets but the biggest one is that he is poor.

The Irwin family  almost had to live in a homeless shelter. Ashton could barely talk with out getting an anxiety attack. His mom knew he was selectively mute because of my dad but she never knew about the bullying

Today Anne told Ash that she got a raise at her job. This could be a new start for the Irwin Family. Anne tried to find the best house for her kids but they ended up living with her mother.

Ashton was beyond happy to leave. A new start he thought to him self.

I got all my band posters out and decorated my room with things and stuff like that. I unpacked my things, I didnt own a lot but then my gram bought us more things.

Now this means I have to eat): which made me scared that if they would find out what would they think?

Luke's POV
I jut moved away from my dad to a huger house in Sydney. I was really happy when I found out Calum and Mikey moved here to! I invited them over for the night since it was Friday.
My mom gave me the car so we went to get pizza.

Ash's POV
My gram said "Ash here's some money go out tonight with your friends."
I said "Gram you don't have to." She said "Now Ash go to the music store or what ever you kids are into; Oh and also go get some pizza with your friends."
I said "Ok thanks, I gave her a kiss and a hug." She gave  me her car.

I brought my book bag so I could get my homework done hopefully no one from school was there. I walked in and went to the back, I ordered a water; the I decided to get my laptop out; that my Gram got for me, for my birthday.

I got out and started my essay on a disease I picked Bulimia because I have that no one knows about it, I'd like to keep it that way.

The waitress comes back over, I see her trying to look at my laptop.
She said "Why are you looking up bulimia?" 
I said "It's for a class I have at school.
She said "Oh ok." She asked me if I wanted anything.
I said "Yes please,  I'll have a small piece of cheese pizza and a cookie. She came back and brought me what I ordered.
