Okay let me just start off by saying, this is not how I pictured my life going. My name is Emmarie Ethridge. I am 19 and hardly ready to live in this world of adulthood I'm being thrown into. At the moment I live in a town in Colorado named Loveland, sounds cheesy right, well it's a real thing! It's a beautiful place to live, everything here was perfect... but a lot of things have changed for me this past year. I say was because I did have a perfect life and happy family, I had so many friends and people who cared about me as much as I did them, but after what happened, I don't know what you would consider the status of my life anymore. It was me, both my parents and my four siblings, Hannah who is currently 25 and living with her douche bag of a boyfriend Declan, Jaxon who this passed year left and moved to California at the age of 22 with a couple of his buddies, Kade, my now 16-year-old brother who seems to be forgotten by my parents along with me ever since our youngest sister Brecken has been missing....

Sequel to 'Broken | G.D' Emma stood in front of me with blood shot eyes, starring at me. She kept repeating 'I'm sorry' but I didn't want to hear it. I didn't even want to be around her, I just wanted to get my daughter and leave. I love Emma, but she's really pushed me lately. I'm not sure how much longer I could deal with this. I also don't know how much longer I can give her the cold shoulder, as much as I hated what she has done, I can't just stand here and watch her cry. I want to comfort her, but I know if I do nothing will change. She will just think things will be fine. They aren't... we have to change whether that's together or not. We have to do what's best for Elizabeth.
