" HEY!!!, you dipshit ,you come back here right away "my father told me while throwing a beer bottle in my direction ,which I dodged due to experiences .I did not listen to any of his words and straight away went to my room. I laid on my bed and started to look out of the window ;at the busy ,beautiful city in front of me . You all might be thinking that, this was my life from the very starting.No , you are mistaken . Let me give you a sneak peek of my life .

I was six and with my aunt when my parents died in a plane crash. I was given at the foster home for adoption 'cause my aunt didn't want to adopt me as she had five of her own kids . When I was around 7, I got adopted by a beautiful couple ; they were really nice to me , they never made me feel like I was ever adopted, until last year , Mom died and everything turned upside-down. She was like a best friend of mine. Our bond was unbreakable. oh..to what extent i miss her.  

My father blames me for her death , which I do too. It simply could have been me . Dad has been depressed from that very day and he takes it all out on me . I don't complain much . Zoning in to the reality again, I sigh and go back to notice the beauty of the city. 

 How silly of me, I literally forgot to introduce myself . I am Jessica , Jessica Star , I am 17 and it is my last year of high school , until now I have managed to not contribute to any of the drama, putting up with fights ,bitches or boys . I used to be a social butterfly but with mom not here , its been hard. Turns out my friends weren't actually authentic.

With a sigh once again , I get up from the bed and head towards the washroom. I really don't like seeing myself in the mirror 'cause of the amounts of cuts and bruises I get everyday . When I do , I see my myself covered in bruises .Now would you look that black eye , gangsta jessie . Guess I'll have to wear makeup tomorrow at school. After cleaning up and hissing from the pain ,what seems like an hour or two I change into clean clothes and lay on the bed . Slowly, I drift to sleep with a frown on my face, dreaming about the happy moments the three of us shared before .

The next morning , I wake up early, it seems like my whole body is on fire. I take a shower , wear a clean set of sweats and head down .I scrunch my face and cover my nose in disgust when I see empty liquor bottles ,broken or ready to be used on me are scattered in the living room.I take my wallet and head towards the coffee shop, caffiene is very much needed to survive , otherwise i would look too pale . I do it all quick before my father wakes up or else he will make sure to make me taste a Good breakfast.

 My school is a ten-minutes walk from here. I buy myself a latte and my feet goes off towards the direction of the school . And FINALLY,  when I am at school I release a breath, even I didn't know I was holding . In school I feel safe despite all the children making fun of me , for the reason that I am a nerd , always looking into a book or in the library. Let's see how my day goes by.........

                                                                                                 * * * * *
