It's Tuesday. After school I have to pick up my baby brother Anthony, run home and make sure that my mom hasn't stopped breathing in a pool of her own vomit, change into my work uniform, bring Anthony to my best friend Sadie's house. Then go to work, fit in some time at the studio so I don't lose my scholarship, pick up Anthony, go home and put him to bed, do my homework , drag my mom to bed from whatever corner of the house she has managed to pass out in, and then and only then can I take a shower and go to bed. And its only fucking Tuesday. So at the risk of sounding too cliche, my name is Elettra and this is my story.

INSIGHT ON MAI DIARY
The "Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode. "Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me. "What do you need?" Dad asks "A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again. "Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something... "Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her, thankful that there's no traffic. Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that.
