My Life

This is Me

There once was a girl who had what she wanted, it wasn't much, but it was what she liked. She thought her life would be easy and nothing too terrible would happen. She always thought that there wasn't much hate in the world. She used to think things happened for a reason, that some supernatural being helped everyone when they needed it. She was probably the most happy person on earth. That girl, was me.

Hi, my name is Aliah Rochford. I live in Louisville, Ohio. I've lived here all my life. I used to think all those things, til the start of 9th grade. My life went downhill from there. Sure, highschool wasn't probably the hardest part of my life, but it was up there. I live with my grandma and my brother William. My great grandfather died a few months before, and my grandma wasn't holding up. She was always in a bad mood. She didn't pay much attention to me or my brother anymore. My brother was an adult, so he just went out and partied all the time. I was pretty much on my own. I did have supportive friends, but I still felt alone. There were 3 friends however that I did have, but they lived so far away. One lived in Canada, the other Montana, and another in Pennsylvania. We once were all together, but one by one, we all got split apart. I stayed, but they all left. They are my best friends. They know everything that no one else knows about me. I just wish they were there to help me and be with me for my first year of high school.

Life felt so much different in high school. People were so split up. No one seemed to be able to like each other unless they were somehow connected. I felt like an alien. I know a lot of people do feel that way, but I even felt like an alien in that sense too. I had no clue how to handle things. People that I thought were there for me, really weren't. I didn't think stuff like this was actually possible, but it was. I was all alone, and I had no one.
