The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love someone else. That was the last piece of advice mom gave me before she passed away, she died on my 7th birthday but I still remember the quote, she knows I remember it too. I have a brother, James, and my dad is named Vernan. Dad started to abuse us about a few months after my mother passed away, my brother always took the beating from me, he is and now forever will be my guardian best friend. No that doesn't mean he's dead but he is still with my dad, I'm not. I ran away. My brother knew I did, he told me he would find me one day, even if that day is in about 20 years. It doesn't matter because I know he will find me, he always finds me.. My name is Zoella Joe Brooks.
